[Walt Cronkite]

Glad to see it's return. Will be reading these and posting my own shortly. Definitely necessary for community building.

[fatlever]

if anyone want to add more questions, please go ahead. that's all the interesting questions i could come up with off the top of my head.

[SteveMorrison15]

Yeah, you can never go wrong with Roadhouse. Swayze is the man in that movie.

To everyone: If you have never seen it, rent it or buy it. It's a classic Guy Movie. Dude kicks ass. Makes you want a Mullet.

[Walt Cronkite]

First name? JK
Age? 23
Hometown? Raleigh
What made you become a Bobcats fan?Localish team/general tendency to root for the underdog
Favorite Bobcats? I realized Jrich was far and away my favorite Bobcat once he was traded--I was really fond of Dudley too (sort of vouched for him predraft so I felt somewhat responsible). Current favorites are Okafor, DJ and Gerald. Probably can go ahead and add leX-files(I WANT TO BELIEVE).
Bobcat who frustrates you the most? Felts, Cammo/Hammo
If you could change one thing about the Bobcats what would it be? Having the ownership/fanbase bury the hatchet so I don't have to worry about the team splitting due to ticket sales/apathy respectively.

Who are some of you all-time fav NBA players? MJ, Shaq, Orlando Penny, Duncan, Nash, Paul, Iverson, Reggie Miller, ARENAS
Fav Bobcats moment/game? The ones I can watch without having to find a stream...
Which Bobcats player (current or former) does your own game most resemble? Ammo? Right now I suck, but sometimes have great games. Streaky shooter, good vision, defensive liability right now (To small to be block/rebound over bigs, not fast enough right now to mark a lot of guards)
Explain your username? Walter Cronkite is known for the professionalism of his journalism and kindly demeanor (lifted from wiki) and when I joined the board I didn't think there was much of that going around. I shortened it to "Walt" because I'm hip. I was high, obviously.
Fav Ladycat? Toss up between Lindsey and Natasha
What other sport teams to you follow closely? I would've said all of the NBA teams, because that used to be true. Life is getting in the way too often these days.
Fav movies? The Dark Knight (saw it 3 times on imax), Ghostbusters I & II, Star Wars I-VI, Serenity.. I'll come back to this one Still need to come back to this.
Fav Bands? Radiohead, the Beatles, Ben Folds, Little Brother, Mf Doom/Viktor Vaughn, Johnny Cash, Brian Wilson, Mr. Lif, Mike Patton, Biggie, Bjork, Prince, Weezer, Wu-Tang. Long list, I omitted a lot. Also... Terpsikhore.com [/shameless plug]
Most hated player in the NBA? The ones that attract bandwagon bands
Hobbies? Video games (been playing a ton of DS lately), appreciating the arts.

Can we have a Bobcats fan's ot thread? I think the main reason posts get so bitchy around here is we get pigeonholed into being "the optimist fan", "felton lover", "felton hater", "that gambling guy", etc. That coupled with the regurgitated/ slowly evolving threads (Felton vs ????, Okafor wtf!?, Ammo/May bashing, Wallace trades) and I for one have been feeling quite burnt out in regard to posting here lately. I know there's a GB and OT boards and I visit them, but I rarely see Bobcat board regulars there. Something I've been thinking about for a while.

[fatlever]

crap. i cant believe i forgot to add arenas to my list of favs. he's still my fav non bobcat in the league right now.

walt, i'm cool w/ adding an OT thread here. thats kinda why i like this type of thread. like you, i've been a litle burnt out on bobcats talk lately. i dont have much to say that i havent said 1000 times.

Ammo.
If you could change one thing about the Bobcats what would it be?
Fan apathy.
If you could change one thing about the NBA what would it be?
Refereeing is not always great, but not terrible. It's much better than the FIBA refs I have to deal with here south of the border. I would stop the piped-in music and try to build a real "fan" culture, with chants, etc. I don't know how realistic that is. I would also move the Sonics back to Seattle.
Who are some of you all-time fav NBA players?
Too many to name. Dell Cury, Dennis Rodman, Steve Nash, Charles Barkley, Arenas, Crash, Zo, Magic, Jason Kidd. Anyone with an "unique" or skillful game usually appeals to me.
Fav Bobcats moment/game?
Everybody's said it but it's the only one that sticks out. 3OT versus the Lakers, Derek Anderson drawing the charge on Kobe.
Which Bobcats player (current or former) does your own game most resemble?
Hmmm, I'm a little bit fat 6'3 PG who sometimes is able to use my "Size" but usually am just a step slow. I make up for it with shooting and passing. Imagine if Brevin Knight and Sean May had a baby. (I'm not quiet that fat)
Explain your username?
1. e4 nf6 is the first two moves of a chess opening called "Alekhine's Defense" which holds a special place in my heart.

You aren't one of those Yankees that moved down here to party, thus making CCU's tuition skyrocket, are you?

I think non-scholarship Harvard students leave college with less debt.

[Walt Cronkite]

@ many of Ham's inclusions. I triple lol'd at "Favorite Ladycat: Matt Carroll". Positive points would be awarded for the Little Richard mention and the back-to-back "Brown, Higgins, Jordan" answer.

E4, as I suspected, I think we have much in common.
edit: case in point--I bought/read Rodman's book when I was 12 or w/e. I had his low top zipper sneakers AND went as him for halloween one year.

[countryboi]

i forget to put dominique wilkins as one of my fav players of all time....how does he get left out of the top 50 players for bill walton? blah
