Transcript
Why Stacey Augman on the '2 thousand two Bobcats? Yo. If you good inherit a specific skill from one NBA player, what skill would it be and from which player? Probably 2001 Pacers backup point guard tie as that means passing ability. Zenden Hamilton is not ball knowledge. Who do you think you are? You don't know who Ruben Boucher Luke is? Where were you when Vasili Spannouis dropped a career high 14 points against the Seattle Supersonics on 11/14/2006? What NBA player did you look up to growing up? Probably Dengueye.
