Re: OT: I just played against Caron Butler
I met Andrew Bogut a couple of years ago at a local nightclub where the Australian team was training. Anyway the guy was being so rude, he was trying to deny who he was and I asked him about the TJ Ford -Villanueva trade which had only just happened and the guy just ignored me. He was being such a tight ass.

Dang... and to believe I was actually rooting for that fat prick.

You can't tell if his jumper improved by playing a pickup game against him. NBA players are automatic when there is no pressure and they are playing against average Joes. Watch an NBA team during shoot around. Even "horrible" shooters like Ben Wallace rarely miss.

Lol... I have seen Ben Wallace and he sucks. I saw him before the game, during shoot around, and he was warming up by shooting 3s. Perhaps someone should tell him that he should first learn how to hit a layup before warming up his perimeter shooting. It was really sad watching him btw.
But no, your point still prevails. Anyone but Ben Wallace can shoot very hawt. Honestly, if you guard Caron to his face, he will still make it. He knows you are not Bruce Bowen or Andrei Kirilenko.

Re: OT: I just played against Caron Butler
I went to high school with Caron, Washington Park High in Racine. He was 1999 I think, I was 2000.
I'm a "C" last name, and he's obviously a "B," so we sat near eachother. I remember a class I had with him, he'd sit down every morning and open a stack of recruiting letters about 3 inches thick. They were all major programs. It was wild.
Anyway, he remains active in the Racine community and is often back home in the offseason doing charity work. He'll go to the YMCA or the Bryant Center to work up a sweat, playing about 20%. I have no reason to doubt the OP. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. The most "famous" person I ever played against at the Racine Y was disgraced UW Badgers and St. Louis Rams running back Brent Moss. He was also a Park graduate. An awful basketball player though.
