Please 9 posts if you want to contribute, please don't use caps.

Eddie Jones got old ,14 years in the L, last playing with Dallas. I saw him in a pro's vs
Joe's playing with Ron Harper & Shawn Kemp and they got beat, sad.

Steve Francis has knees made of broken glass...(waived by the Grizz Jan, 09)

Lol, that was sad.

The big man on the Joes team is a good buddy of mine from college.

He's a solid player but still shouldn't be beating pros a few years removed from the league.

lol at the hostile keyboard warriors. Eddie jones was a sharpshooter and was clutch from what i remember. and then age caught up to him, but 14 years in the league is pretty damn good. Steve francis, he got knee injuries and once his athleticism went away, so did most of his game.

lakers traded eddie right before they won it and the heat traded eddie right before they won it.

No rings. But nice bank. That is what counts. Not the Shaq or Jordan or Kobe bank. Enough to live a life of ease.

I saw Steve Francis at a Magic game last season. He didn't sit to watch the game, he was standing in one of the tunnels. It was really random.

Ron Harper's career is a bigger tragedy than any IMO. Could have been one of the greats...
