haha, I didn't know that. cool.

I should just bombard him on twitter with my videos of him until he publicly acknowledges me as his media guy. My mixing buddy from Poland, BigPatrys15, has had a lot of success when it comes to NBA players thanking him for his mixes, by the way. Him being Polish he's been invited to some Marcin Gortat basketball camp to meet Gortat, while during the couple last weeks alone Jim McIlvaine said thank you by saying that dinner's on him if he ever comes to Milwaukee (and for some reason the same to me, while I did nothing but write a comment on the video) and Walt Williams reached out and thanked him for the mix he had done on him.

and-1 for the combo reference of over-paid 90s centers in one post.

he actually "serves as an online resource for technical questions about OPTIMA Batteries". it stroke me as an odd thing, but seeing that it's not his only job and that he doesn't seem to be a guy who would blow all of his money away, I assume that he's simply the type that has to do something every day and work even if his career earnings would allow him to chill for the rest of his life.

Cheers Lamar!

Awesome that Jim is (seemingly) going well post ball.

Great of him to reach out to your friend with sincerity and offer dinner!

Center Bismack Biyombo has switched jersey numbers from 0 to 8. The reason? "Turn 8 on its side and you get (the symbol for) infinity," Biyombo said


from Bonnell's training camp day 1 story in the Observer. man, i got a good chuckle out of that line by Biyombo. maybe this is his awkward way of saying he's dynamite in the sack.

he actually has more than one. it's just that he's so mechanic when attempting them. there's no read&react there, just "so now I take this step and then I do this fake, etc."

Well if it's the one at 0:56, then that's all he needs to be a 12/12 guy in a couple years :lol:

Has anyone seen or heard anything about how he looks? Im intrigued to see how he plays this season. Huge season for him.

Nope, im hoping some training camp practice videos get put on the website, need to see if he has developed his post game more or has any real offensive game.

Agreed. The Cody at center experiment news is not a very positive development as far as Biz's future is concerned.

Absolutely, but if he doesn't show any improvement its not anything id get mad about if we lose him. He doesn't have much value around the league, so hopefully we get him at a bargain.
