The part where you're acting like you would be a great agent for Enes Kanter in a thread about Rudy Gobert. Also the part where you think you'd be a good agent.

Post #126: framer derails the thread by posting about Kanter and his upcoming free agency. I replied to that. Yes, let me also add I could probably outshoot Burke too. Jazz should sign me to a vet minimum contract.



SARCASM ALERT! SARCASM ALERT!


But really, I can shoot 1/3 on my 3's. No pressure you say? There certainly was. If one of my girls made a layup, I had to shoot a 3. Every time I missed, I had to run a lap. If the girl missed a layup, she had to run.
 
#24 Neal Walk

Points 366
Rebounds 262
Blocks 20
Steals 30
Assists 101

So Neal Walk was the #2 pick in the 1969 draft. He turned out to be a decent player, but Phoenix had to settle for the #2 pick after they lost a coin flip and watched Milwaukee snag college phenom Lew Alcindor. He played 1 season for the New Orleans Jazz in 74-75 and averaged 10 and 7 before being moved on the New York Knicks. He played 8 years in the NBA. In 1988 Walk was discovered to have a tumor enveloping his spine and surgery to remove it left him in a wheelchair. He used this as an opportunity and played in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. In 1990, Walk was awarded "National Wheelchair Athlete of the Year" by George HW Bush. He currently works in the Phoenix Suns archive department, and gives motivational speeches to young people about overcoming adversity.

Never heard of him, but what an inspirational story. Horrible thing to happen physically, but he turns that into a positive and is helping others. And kudos to the Suns for finding a spot for him in the organization.

I've said it before framer, but many thanks. The thread would be fun with just a list of fantasy points. But what really takes it to another level is the background you post for each player.
