What has Rafer Alston accomplished in the league
:unimpressed:
Did you forget that Skip helped Orlando make it to the finals as their starting point guard? It has been argued that one of Orlando's faults in the finals was putting Jameer Nelson back into the starting lineup fresh off of an injury instead of riding with the man that helped them get there, Skip.

I remember the episode when they tried to pretend like Skip really meant to hurt Half Man Half Amazing intentionally when he went for a block and got him upside the head. Rafer was in the league at that point and making more money in one or two games than they made all summer touring. Loved AND1 as a whole but they look foul after how they showed out. Main Event throwing chairs at him and shyt. It just gave them the opportunity to try to do what they wanted to do from the jump, which was go at him since they were bitter. It wasn't all the crew, though.


Some of those cats like Professor, Alimoe, Sauce & Helicopter were cool with their lot. A few of them showed their asses though. I know they "made up," but I don't think Skip ever played with them again. His agent probably told him to cut them loose for his own sake. Being around envious men is extremely dangerous for a man who has nothing to gain and everything to lose.
I remember one ep where Skip told them those dudes were not that good. He was like, "this is not the pros. These guys don't understand that."
