Wolves seek waiver for Ebi to play in NBDL

[kibaxx7]

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves are petitioning the NBA for an exception that would allow them to send third-year pro Ndudi Ebi to the NBDL, something that came as a surprise to Ebi.

"I'm not a development league player. I'm an NBA player," Ebi said Friday after practice. "I've been playing against NBA players since I was 15 years old. I'm an NBA player. I'm not a developmental league player, period."

Entering his third season in the NBA, Ebi is not eligible under a new rule that allows teams to assign players with less than two years of experience to the NBDL.

read this last night...don't really have anything to say since I really know Ebi that much

[Matt]

he should start playing like an NBA player.

[Riot]

I hope he gets cut because there are better players (like Bracey Wright, John Lucas) that deserve a spot.

I loathe Ndudi Ebi.

[Doobie]

Riot , didn't you love Ndudi Ebi a few months ago??

[Jona]

I like his name.

[alexboom]

I though he was able to play well since he put nice numbers in the last 2 games of last year' season when he was at last given some playing time

I've never liked Ndudi Ebi since I saw him play in the summer league his rookie year.

Yes you did, you always use to talk about him on AIM so don't try to act like you don't care now

Don't hide your feelings Riot
It's ok, just let it out

When would I talk about him? When I would say he is the next Kevin Garnett?

[air gordon]

i remember having a discussion with somebody who was touting EBI as the best high school player entering college and how he had this potential to be a great player. that you , riot?

[Its_asdf]

Riot's busted.

I'm always going to root for the highschoolers in the league, so hopefully he'll live up to his expectations in a few years.

I found this excerpt from an unknown source:

Riot: Mark my words, Ebi is going to be the next Kevin Garnett. He'll surpass all of Garnett's points when he reaches 25, and by 40, he'll be the president of the United States. He'll lead our country, as he led the Wolves, and bring Minnesota to the forefront of the entire world. The world shall bow down to Emperor Ebi and his right hand man, George W. Bush, and after occupying the rest of the middle east, America will be safe from terrorism and dominate the entire world. Long live America!

[shadowgrin]

Bush is right, there are WMD's in Iraq.
Whoops! Wrong topic.

Riot is right, he said nothing about liking Ebi.

Nope, but I have read an article that said Ebi would be better than Lebron James when he declared for the draft.

[GloveGuy]

He should've gone to Zona.

[J@3]

I can't believe I didn't think of this when the whole NBDL thing happened... the ego's of some of these guys are just huge, I mean this guy's done fuck all in the NBA and now he doesn't want to go to the NBDL because he's an "NBA player"? Apart from his passport saying "NBA player" I'm not sure there's much justification to that.

[Jugs]

I like his name.

Me too, but Tskitishivili pwns Ndubi Ebi in "worthless player but have good names" category

[Riot]

Really? Timberwolves have both those guys!
