Interesting facts you didn't know about NBA player

I believe AD competed in the 1994 contest.

Considering he was drafted in '97, that somehow does not seem right.

It is right. Antonio Davis wasn't drafted in 1997, he was actually drafted by Indiana in 1990, eventually joining the Pacers in 1993.

Aye. My mistake. I thought AD was referring to Antonio Daniels...

he was actually drafted by Indiana in 1990, eventually joining the Pacers in 1993.

Davis played in Greece for a year during that time. Great guy, met him up close in 1991. Of course, I was too young to remember much other than he was HUGE...

All three actually.

- Michael Jordan gets manicures every 10 days and pedicures once a month?

He must think that it makes for a 'smooth touch'...

- Tim Hardaway thinks the Bulls' visitors locker room has "small-ass towels,"

What exactly is a 'small ass towel'?

It don't fit on their ass

It don't fit on their ass

Perhaps it didn't fit in his ass? Just asking .

I believe it emphasises on the size of the towel, rather than it's usage on the ass...

- Kenyon Martin suffers from a disease that causes him to stutter. He also broke his leg in his junior year in college, the injury was supposed to end his career, but after a miraculous recovery he ended having a breakout senior year, and was drafted number 1 overall by the New Jersey Nets.

strange....I could have sworn that Martin had a breakout senior season where he led the No. 1 ranked Bearcats to the Big Dance, only to break his leg just prior to or around the NCAA tourney and they got bounced quite early....hmmm....maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Martin broke his leg as a senior and that ended his college career and before he was drafted No. 1, there was talk about how his leg might not be fully healed....correct me if I'm wrong or misinformed though

Got the idea from a site. Feel free to add some more shit.
