Horace Grant, L.A. Lakers:
"My health

Rasheed Wallace, Portland Trail Blazers:
"I don't remember what year it was, but the best Christmas was when my mom bought me four G.I. Joe figures. Those were my prize possessions for years. I could probably still find them. In fact ..."

Brent Barry, Seattle Sonics:
"I thought I was getting a stereo so I could listen to Roxanne Roxanne by UTFO. But when I opened up all my gifts there was no stereo. However, my Mom surprised me with one last present, a Sanyo turntable-double-cassette stereo. It was nothing but rap music in my house for six months straight."
That must've encouraged him to do a Free Throw line Dunk...and show others that he is really Ghetto :lol:

I notice a lot of them liked remote control cars & video games. Pretty interesting article. Mutombo's own was pretty deep though. At least he is honest about it.

Is that your way of saying there is no santa? This cant be true. :evil: :cry:

I read that article. It was somewhat funny. It shows alot of what christmas is like in different types of families.
