Well, it appears he's now even worse on the court than he is on the mic, but he made the game-winning basket. So :thumbsup:

He looked pretty bad compared to the other Legends. The commentators were clowning Nique just about all game talking about how he has absolutely no lift and was laboring to get up and down the court. He couldn't make a layup and got blocked by the rim when he tried to dunk.

But he did pretty good the second half of the game though and hit the GW shot.

It was fun to watch. Nancy Lieberman's still got some handles. Thunder Dan still has his stroke.

That game actually provided some entertainment. It was fun to laugh at the celebs taking everything too seriously. And Jon Barry knocking over the ESPN backdrop was just hilarious.

Michael Rapaport was the man in this game. Real MVP.
