I was trying to remember where I knew about Nwaba and then remembered this nice feature on him and how he ended up in the D-League on a $150 tryout: https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/jp7dgb/five-years-three-colleges-and-150-david-nwabas-winding-road-to-the-nba

Also lol the LA D-Fenders coach is Coby Karl.

The Orlando Magic have one retired number. It's 6. The only player who ever wore 6 for them was Patrick Ewing, but it's not for him. It's for the fans? They call the fans the 6th man? They retired their fans.

Our fans are also mostly retired

Yea, looking at 2008 Finals GmSc he came out on top in a close race:
code:
GmSc	Player
100.2	Ray Allen
98.2	Kobe Bryant
93.7	Paul Pierce
87.7	Kevin Garnett
74.2	Pau Gasol
62	Lamar Odom
57.1	Rajon Rondo
50	Derek Fisher

8.1	Tony Allen
6.4	Luke Walton
2.8	Glen Davis
1.9	Ronny Turiaf
-2.5	Chris Mihm
They stole a ring from PJ.

IMO only guys with 200+ WS with one team should get the honor. Save everyone a TON of time:
code:
Michael Jordan 	 23
Karl Malone      32
John Stockton    12
Tim Duncan       21
Dirk Nowitzki    41
According to this pattern the next guy to reach 200 with a single team should wear #14.

Excuse me while I go sew a 4 to the back of Dennis Smith Jr's jersey.

5 years is pretty significant, because when Dolan fires him in 2, he still gets paid for 3 more.

His first good move as Knicks GM: getting a massive contract guarantee

Hey Intruder and chunkles, I have some good news for you.

There was extreme wailing and gnashing of teeth when Morey waived him and he went on to post a couple big rebounding games on the Lakers (iirc). Looks like they gave him the BAE so I guess he's there partly as another potential salary match guy.

N: A slightly troubling bit from a German interview with Dirk. Dirk is generally more honest/real in German interviews.
http://www.spiegel.de/sport/sonst/nba-dirk-nowitzki-im-interview-ich-bin-ja-eher-oldschool-a-1156072.html

Translated from German by a Dallasbasketball.com forums poster, I'm too lazy to run it through google translate but that guy's translation posts are usually close to the google translation.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Mr. Nowitzki, how is your Achilles heel?
Dirk Nowitzki: Not all that great. I thought I had overcome those problems.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: You already missed two months last season because of it.
Nowitzki: Yes, nowadays I have to do a lot more rehab, be more careful with my calf and keep stretching my muscles. I've gotten used to the fact that even though you have to practice a lot you also have to pay attention to a lot of things off the court.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: What do you mean?
Nowitzki: Cold baths, yoga, stretching. All this is now part of my daily training routine. It sounds crazy but when you're my age you almost put in more work off the court than on it.

I normally wouldn't link to a fan forum but if anyone is interested full translation posted here. http://www.scout.com/nba/mavericks/forums/2144-mavericks-discussion/16780628-new-long-dirk-interview-for-a-german-magazine

Underhanded free throws are legitimately great, anyone who does them in a professional setting is showing the true face of bravery against social pressure.

1. Ball 2. KCP 3. Ingram 4.Spin to win Julius Randle 5. Brook Lopez
is a fun lineup

Major weakness is that Julius Randle is going to have to handle the ball al ot for Ball to get the most out of his game. He really needs lots of secondary ball handlers
