We're talking about people who have been gone for more than 1 season. Not someone who played half this season was waived and that's it...

Hey Gameboy, these are some of the players I've been talking about!! Great work!! (Y)

Dino Radja is retired and is owner of a team in Croatia (KK Zagreb, I think). He's 38 and he still thinks to be prepared to play at least one year. So Real Madrid, one of the most important teams in Europe (Petrovic, Sabonis,... played there), almost signed him this summer, but finally he declined the offer.

Shammond Williams has just signed with Barcelona, other of the most important teams in Europe (Gasol, Bodiroga, Varejao,... played there).

Vincent Yarbrough?? I've never seen a player with such a neck-ache after a Kobe dribbling, do you remember??



He played for Telindus Oostende in Belgium last year.

Ceballos was playing in ABA last year, with the Utah Bears if I'm not mistaken, the team coached by... Isaac Austin :)

Clark was so awesome when he was with Toronto. He was like a super athletic blocking machine and had a decent (but ugly) 12 foot jumper. Ahh.... I remember one game against Seattle, he stuffed the living hell out of one player, ran all the way to the other end of the court and fucking abused the damn rim. I was screaming out with joy when I saw that play, but I was oblivious to the fact that he was a flaming faggot back then. He ditched us, did ok in Sacramento, and then just flat out died in Utah and Phoenix. He WAS supposed to sign with Cleveland last season, but the lazy bastard didn't even show up. It was even on the Cavaliers home page and everything. But the bastard didn't even show.... :shake:

The first Finnish guy ever to play NBA basketball was Hanno Möttölä (Mottola), Hawks. He is the only player I can think of adding here, has since moved to about five different European teams.

Jones was waived, and I remember Postell from NBA Live 2001. I beefed him up all the way to a 90. :)
