Cliff knew. He knew the whole time...


It's not like it was some kind of a secret, entire league knew after his rookie year.

I don't care what D12 does in his own life...I'd also be perfectly fine never hearing about or from him. Nothing dumber than today's social media mindset...."Get the message out there that I don't want to talk about it" :crazy:

You're no longer relevant -enjoy your anonymity or go back to China and be a God among dwarves.

No regrets at all with Paolo over Jabari and Chet...but I really like Chet - his fierce attitude more than anything. He definitely wasn't asking Wemby for an autograph. Scrawny or not, he's a fighter.

Too early to blow up imo.
This first 25 games is technically a lost part of the season for them, imo.

I feel bad for Bulls fans. That team needs a complete rebuild.

He just finished a game with 32 minutes, 12pts, 4 rebounds, and 0 blocks while Duren (19 years old) had 23,15, 2 and the Pistons won the rebounding battle 53-32. :nonono:

Not even the stats just Duren is ten times tougher. Vuc doesn't even try to protect the rim. You will never win with a starting C like him and his career is all the proof you need.

However, I think he'd be great in a Moe Wagner role for some team. Come in get some points and gtfo.

I used to think that too… but as much as Moe SUCKS at defense… he at least tries (and often fails :lol: ). Maybe Vuc has just given up on the Bulls but his effort is almost nonexistent.
