Interesting facts you didn't know about NBA player

Laettner a top 3 pick

the BIG Z with the soft touch on tv shows

Christian Laettner was also a member of the Original Dream Team that played at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics he deserved to be the sole college player though after a stellar collegiate career....and I though Laettner was an alright pro before injuries and age slowed him right down....

Laettner's first 4 seasons were good, definitely worth a top 3 pick.

I didn't mind Laettner in his days with the Hawks....I know he was passed his best, but when he combined up with Smitty and Mutombo and took Hawks deep into playoffs, he was pretty handy....

I really enjoyed watching guys like Laettner, Gugliotta and Coleman in their "prime" (i.e, before injury). It's a shame that they all got struck down, they could've been pretty special players.

- Carmelo Anthony won the Mc'D high school slam dunk contest in year 2002 and LeBron James won it the year after. they are best friends.

- Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf didn't make a singel dunk in the whole 1993 slam dunk contest.

Lebron James can touch the top of the backboard....and i do mean the top.

- The Top 3 picks of the 1992 NBA Draft now play for the Miami Heat. (Shaq, Zo, Laettner)

Lebron James can touch the top of the backboard....and i do mean the top.

To the first question, I thought of Arenas as a more layed back person, not a guy that could get arrested for gun posession, it's that simple.

To the second one, I cannot answer if you write ***** instead of words, do ***** my *****, you idiotic *****?

You were sarcastic in a very rude way commenting about CB4's post, when you could perfectly stay quiet by only reading, you fucking tool.

He wasn't exactly a scrub coming out of college, and had a decent rookie year... that being said I also have a natural bias for tall white guys. don't ask why, long live KVH.

yeh, christian laettner had one of the most successful college careers ever. i think duke made the final four every year he was there

i'll chalk up the rest to your admitted bias towards tall, white guys

fucking tool ? what's that ? this must be one of your great jokes or whatever. about that arenas fact. that's the thing, i didn't said nothing rude to CB4, i tought that this was a stupid fact, not that he is a stupid !
i mean, a lot of nba players have been charged with owning gun or drugs and so on, so it doesen't surprise me that arenas got arrested for gun posession !
