Yes, that's Horace Grant blocking Terrell Brandon in-front of a giant Grant Hill while a Washington Redskins player stands between them and Barry Bonds/Eddie George plushies. Oh, and a turntable.


Wow, How old were you then like 5 or 6?? I'm thinking those Cavs jerseys are from around 1994-95.

I was 21. That's a picture from last year. I just enjoy old crap, like random Terrell Brandon figurines and Grant Hill stuff.

I think that figure was from 1996. Whatever year it was, Horace Grant figure is the same age I think. I have a few more in a box somewhere.

The wood panels gave it away.

Man, that was an old house. Well, it was a double-wide trailer someone converted into a house. It was cheap and lulzy like the Bobcats. :lol:

No shame, you have to do what you have to do to make ends meet. Do you by chance have any collectibles unopened in the original package? They may be worth something money wise.

charlotte added fsplus about 2 years ago. HD as well. they added AFL to this channel this year. at least 2 games a week. every friday night at 11:30ish.

freo needs some names on the back of the jerseys. how the hell am i supposed to learn all these guys names? on a side note, my supercoach team is 8 out of 18. not bad, right?

sorry Fat's couldn't help myself. There are plenty of Aussies who have spelt Fremantle that way over the years, seems a common trap.

Richmond have a pretty crap following and they are playing at the biggest stadium we have.

pretty good being in the top half, must have been difficult picking your first team when you don't get to watch many games.

the numbers are pretty big, you will get to learn the numbers soon enough

Now you know why Boxing is a dying sport and MMA like sports are taking over. Boxing cannot get the match ups they need because one side is afraid of losing to the other and the fight never happens. And then when they get a decent fight, they have the refs give a horrible decision just to hype the rematch. That Pacquio-Bradley fight was such a blatant screw job. Think the AP had is 117-111 for Pacquio, and even ESPN's people had it 119 - 109 for Pacauio. But somehow 2 of the 3 judges had Bradley winning the fight.

The sweet science is a dying sport.

I can't really blame them. The line on Bradley was great. I fell asleep before the match was over but I'm several hundred dollars richer today.

Wouldn't be surprised if those judges placed large bets against Manny. I wonder if Mayweather placed one against Manny too.

I didn't get the see the match itself unfortunately so I can't give my opinion on it.
