"that was fine!"
"that... was horrible..."

hahahahahaha... hahahaha

OT: eYeSaNo... how was "no strings attached" ? hypothetically speaking if i had to give in to watching a chick flick, is it say better than... "the bounty hunter" with gerard butler/jenn aniston?

"weather man" or "wicker man" ?

inquiring minds need to know.

I like that he just laughs it off. I would have been embarrassed/pissed.

The other thing I note here is how tall/long he looks. If he had no name on the jersey, I'd say he looked like a solid sized 2 guard.

Anybody remember Caron Butler's first pitch?

I think my sister throws better than he did.

Here's videoof Caron Butler bouncing a first pitch.

It comes about the 3:30 mark or so.

I think we found his nickname. John 'Wild Thing' Wall

OMG that's exactly what happens to me. Once my shoulder warms up it's ok but the first throw always goes off in some random direction.

It seems like he is throwing the ball for the first time.

That's awful. I mean seriously? If u can play basketball, surely you should be able to throw a baseball straight?

Wow. John Wall is built like an MLB pitcher. How is that throw possible?

My 11-yr old definitely and my 9-yr old probably throw a baseball better than he does. That was amazingly sucky.

I guess is just goes to show that John definitely focused on basketball.

I love John Wall, and I was the first on the "tank for the next Kobe - John Wall - bandwagon." But, there keep being small indications that he's not a franchise player. Top PG yes, but not a franchise player. First was the dancing. Then, there was the lack of a killer instinct. Now, there's this.

I'll be told it's psycho babble BS, but I think it's all part of the same thing. I could write a long, long post on the subject. I'll simply say it's exceptionally rare for a PG to win a championship as the franchise player. It takes a certain personality and a certain level of skill. Wall's personality concerns me. I don't see the "Eye of the Tiger."

My conclusion? We still need a franchise player. I thought we needed a Robin for Batman. We need a Batman for Robin. I hope I'm wrong.

I should know better, but I just can't help myself. Would you please grace us with a "long, long post on the subject?" This should be good. :-)

Nope Fish, I ain't got that kinda time anymore. I'll simply point to Kwame and Blatche saying I saw the same things in them. Question: Would you hire a CEO who comes in to an interview and wants to be known first and foremost for the little dance he does in the boardroom?

I said my bit. I'm not arguing it. I'm just sending out a warning shot that we still need a franchise player and ought to plan for that.
