Let me rephrase that. He had the size and athleticism to lead me to believe he could develop into a star.
They are several players with size and athleticism. To be a star you actually need to have some sort of bball skill. :comeon:

:russ: who the hell falls for a Stromile Swift pump fake?

Same nikka that said he was just there for the free money in the 2007 slam dunk contest.

:dantoni:


Here's the article:
SALT LAKE CITY -- Perhaps Tyrus Thomas will display more energy and enthusiasm during the slam-dunk contest than he did Monday in discussing his participation.

Asked if he were excited about becoming the first Bull since Scottie Pippen in 1990 to participate in the event as part of All-Star weekend, Thomas barely looked up from untying his shoes.

"Not really," Thomas said. "I'm just going to go out there, get my check and call it a day."

Asked if an opportunity to rub elbows with some of the game's greats could be beneficial for a rookie, Thomas kept unlacing.

"I'm just into the free money,
" he said. "That's it. I'll just do whatever when I get out there."

Thomas makes $3.26 million.

The winner gets $35,000. The runner-up receives $22,500. Third and fourth place are worth $16,125.

Thomas' competition is Orlando's Dwight Howard, Boston's Gerald Green and defending champion Nate Robinson of the Knicks.

Michael Jordan will serve as a judge along with heavyweights Dominique Wilkins, Julius Erving, Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter. This slightly stirred Thomas.




"I might have to break out some tapes of old contests," he said. "But I'm just taking it for what it's worth."

Jordan is the event's only back-to-back winner, and his winning dunk from the foul line at the Chicago Stadium in 1988 still resonates with Bulls fans.



He got fined for the same amount by Paxson for his comments
:deadmanny:

Same thing happened to him that's gonna happen to Tyrus Thomas. They will be in the league for a decade, make little to no noise and then slowly fade away once they hit 30. Stromile did play 10 years in the NBA if that counts for anything.

2nd pick :comeon:

the grizz really fukked up drafting, they had a top 7 pick from 1995 to 2002 (top 3 for the majority of those years) and then 2003 draft came.:sadbron: Whoever was in charge of running that franchise should be nowhere near any form of basketball operations for the rest of their lives.

Cant blame West for that since the pick traded in 97 for Otis Thorpe:wtf:
