The Throbber used to wear compression shorts in rec league games trying to emulate Derrick McKey.

That fucked up my game for a couple years. Should have stuck with my Dale Ellis phase.

One of my two dads hated McKey. Soft.
Baby Jordan comes to mind.

McKey was incredibly frustrating not unlike the Sonic teams he played on

Ed O’Bannon. Harold Minor. Rudy Gay. Greg Oden.

thought James Wiseman would be good. then he sucked.
I hated Oden over Durant but still thought he'd be better than he was.

 

[haie]

This guy should be a hall of famer the way he's built. I don't even think a quarter of the teams in the league have a guy that should be able to hang physically with this fucking of a human being at power forward.
