I absolutely love the statement from Andre."building my own basketball story", separate from his dad's. Impressive youngman. I hope He brings it every night on Defensive side, with the slashing and Assists. He'll have a home in NBA!

Fanta is the man. I hope we get him on the call in at least one game this year.

I’ve said this before, but I’d love to sit at a sports bar with Fanta, a few other knowledgeable and rational college basketball fans, and with 4-5 games on at the same time over pizza and beers. That would be a fun evening talking college hoops with Fanta.

Filtering out recency bias... TSJ will always be the greatest athlete. It's not even close.

Can't wait to see it on the court with my own eyes. And yeah, without bringing in the Flying Illini he would be my nominee too.

That said, I don't think best athlete, worst shooter is the title I'd be aiming for.

Is there any chance at all that Mirk comes back for another year or is it a foregone conclusion he is NBA bound?

Brad needs to allocate some of his revenue sharing $ to Green in order to secure a transfer of the Betts girl from UCLA. Love>NBA.

I put a $100 on it at the South Point in Vegas a couple weekends ago. 15/1 odds there for any locals who might be interested. Everywhere else was 12/1 or 13/1. IF they win of course I have to fly back out there to collect. That'd be one heck of a celebration should it come to pass. My normal pessimistic self has extreme optimism for this season. I have a weird feeling it's gonna happen this year.

If you win, you can mail the betting slip to Southpoint, you don’t have to go out there.
