Sweet 1,0000 

Post#1 » by Mr. Sun » Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:43 am

Has it really been 14 years since Suns fans booed the team's 1996 first-round draft pick, a skinny Canadian point guard from Santa Clara?

The draft-day crowd was disappointed because fans wanted the team to selected John Wallace, a 6-foot-8 forward from Syracuse who ended up going three picks later at No. 18 to the New York Knicks.

On Sunday, Steve Nash - that Canadian point guard - will play in his 1,000th career regular-season game when the New Orleans Hornets visit US Airways Center.

Just read Posey will not be playing for NO.

He played 8 years, and he ended up playing for the Suns in 48 games in '01. (I don't remember him)

I once wondered what happened to him, but it was only fleeting. :lol: I do however remember that dunk like it was yesterday. It was actually the first game that I ever owned, now I have way too many to count. I remember recording it when they used to show games on Thursday nights here in Oz from like a week ago, haha. But the Pistons wore throwbacks with Ft. Wayne on their jerseys, well anyways, enough said. Here is the dunk.

Poor John Wallace, he was never the same. :lol:

Have always loved to watch pre-injury Hill play. He was amazing.
