I was and still am a HUGE Don Reid fan. Hustled harder than anyone on the floor and didn't take crap from anybody. When i was deciding on schools, and I found out he went to Georgetown, I knew it was meant to be.... hats off to you, Don Reid -- my fellow Hoya.

at point guard, one of the best free throw shooters of all time... Mark Price!

(picture)

(I used this picture for dramatic effect to show how old he is)

at two guard, the brother of Dominique Wilkins... Gerald Wilkins!

(picture)

at the one forward, Dominique Wilkins himself but without the hops or the shooting ability!

(picture)

At power forward, he fathered over 20 kids... Shawn Kemp!

(picture)

And at center, now your big men coach, but former Magic player... Patrick Ewwwwwiiing

(picture)

Quite a starting five by the names on paper, too bad they sucked when they got here.

WOW, that starting five in their prime would be a lock to win the finals right now.

You googled that.

Haha, no I promise. I recently watched NBA TV Daily and they were showing NBDL highlights and Kruger almost had a triple double.

Kevin was kicking ass in the preseason, damn shame we didn't keep him, his crouch defense is awesome and he could run the point well.

What the f*ck? I don't remember the blue inside the letters, that looks bad, glad we just made that black and just the numbers blue.

Yeah I don't remember that either. It's pretty hideous. Glad we switched over. It almost looks like someone got bored in the Magic locker room and just colored them in with a blue marker.
