So what did Gooden do now? Become erratic? Thinks he's a great jump shooter? Whatever it is. The Cavs are stuck with him until they trade him off.
It always irritated me that Stromile didn't get a chance at SF after Gooden failed at the position.
I have a game on DVD vs the Lakers from Stromile's rookie season where he started at SF... Early in the game hall of fame broadcaster Chick Hearn labelled him a "promising rookie" and was really impressed with his play, but he was limited in that game by foul trouble.
One of those calls came early in the game when he blocked a Kobe Bryant layup.... it was a bad call lol
