You forgot "Ain't gon' be no more layups!"-Gate.

Dame been living off of that one first-round buzzer beater for years. Shouldn't have been on the top 75 over Dwight.

[stepbackj34spud]

You cant win with nobody on your team. If the best you can do is sign Jeremi Grant to a huge deal, id leave too.

Im not a Dame fan at all. But you cant blame him for not winning.
