alfdogg 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Just saw a commercial for this. This season on Dream Job, it will be six former NBA players trying to win a job as the newest NBA analyst, ala Greg Anthony, Tim Legler, etc. The players are Dee Brown Darryl Dawkins Matt Bullard Dana Barros Gerald Wilkins and there was one more who I forget. I fear if Darryl Dawkins wins, it could become another SAS/Michael Irvin/Shannon Sharpe/etc. deal. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 They need to spice it up a bit. Add in Dennis Rodman, or Ron Artest, or some 7'5" European player with more Z's than vowels in his surname, or anyone that's played for the Portland Trailblazers the last 5 years. If it's a serious competition i can't see anyone giving a shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And where is the love for B.J Armstrong? This is bull man, no Armstrong? BJ has a real job with either the Warriors or the Bulls...i can't remember which. Dee Brown- Noteworthy moment in his carrer was winning the dunk contest. I remember he turned hiself into a 3 point shooter, was a decent player at best. Bleh Darryl Dawkins - overrated player that people seem to think is good today because they have heard of his name. basically a underachiever that never really played hard, known best for dunking the ball really hard and coming up with ridiculous names for the dunk.....then doing the exact same duck and calling it something different. And he speaks like Karl Malone.... BLEAH Matt Bullard - Some bench warming Power forward with a nice jump shot. I actually thought he still played. bleh Dana Barros - The mutha fucking man. He was ran out of Seattle in favor of Gary Payton, went to Philly where he had some All-Star years and carried the team on his 5'10 shoulders, went to Boston where he made the jerseys look incredibly cool with his tattoos, great 3 point shooter who (I think) holds the record for consecutive games with a 3 pointer till the Knicks were bitches and wouldn't let him get one and ended his streak. And he released a rap single that was actually good. Gerald Wilkins - Claim to fame was that his brother is one of the most underrated players in the games history and where ever he went to play, his team became the "jordan bitches". He started with the Knicks, went to cleveland, back to New York, the Orlando. Thats about it. BLEAH I think the true winner is clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought he still played. bleh He was a decent analyst on Rockets broadcasts, filling in for Calvin Murphy last year. Which of course doesn't mean that he'd be a good panelist, but it's a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 You forgot that J.R. Reid is in this, who's claim to "fame" was going to North Carolina, being drafted way too high, and elbowing AC Green in the mouth for no reason what so ever threatening the consecutive games played streak.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 Calvin Murphy probably needs a job. Considering he's got like 14 kids, I'd say so. But the sexual misconduct charges - even though they were dismissed - are gonna stay with him, which makes it tough for him to get a regular job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted February 18, 2005 I think the one time I wanted to punch Dikembe Mutombo was after the 76ers beat the Lakers in game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals. Shaq had scored 40 points and grabbed 20 rebounds while he steamrolled Mutombo and Mutombo had the nerve to stand around and tal about how he thought he did a good job on Shaq. Ever since then I haven't liked him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
