what the hell are you talking about. Of course there will be another tin towers. if you knew tim and dave weren't the first. I don't watch vintage much, but i do know that rauph sampson and hakeem were before them, and weren't they considered the twin towers too


With the success of Sampson and Hakeem, the Knicks briefly tried a twin towers combination of Patrick Ewing and Bill Cartwright. It didn't work out though, and not long after Cartwright was traded to Chicago for Charles Oakley.

Usually, the league is for players to develop more or second round/undrafted rookies to try and get signed or something. What do Outlaw and Penny have to prove?


Penny would probably like to show that he can still resemble the Penny of old. Outlaw is probably vying for more minutes.

the next o'neal because he's in portland and o'neal was wasted for a few years in portland too, talent-wise he could be a taller maggette..... tmac with less talent.

They traded a future first rounder (don't know which year) for spurs' pick, L. Barbosa. :(

Oh I thought you meant talent wise. I'd still compare him to T-Mac though. And I think he'll get his shot quicker than O'Neal did.

Jamal Crawford has player really well at the Rucker this summer with EBC, I know its sorta streetball but still, he really looks impressive out there.

Also Joe Johnson was playing really well especially on the last day of the Rocky Mountain Review, Darius Miles looks good as well, he's really an unselfish player, I think he'll be great help for Bron.

Chris Bosh looks ok, maybe not the rebounder I was hoping for, atleast of what I saw, and he did make some dumb fouls, but other than that he looked pretty good.
