I have found two good prospects to take Hakeem's place by searching a database of international Pro players. David Wood- Center Purefoods DJ Hotdogs (Phillipines) 17 rebounds a game (leads league) 2000-2001 allstar. Buck Johnson- Center A.O. Dafni (Greece) This team just release Blue Edwards and Rod Rhodes, but kept "big man" Buck as their center. Could these two help the Rockets in the middle? ------------------ [This message has been edited by RodneyMcCray (edited July 25, 2001).]

Bucks in Greec? Well good for him. But you did mean this thread as a joke...right? ------------------
The Purefoods Hotdogs of the Phillipines? That's the Teams Name!!?!! AHHHHHHHH HAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! ------------------ www.expage.com/saveourunis
Are these guys past rocket players? I remember Buck Johnson, he was flier with Kenny and Vernon. He was one of my favorite players when I was just a kid. ------------------
cson, that's just the tip of the iceberg One of my life goals is to go play overseas while I still can, and the Philipines league is a prime target. They suck, they really really suck. I mean, they know how to play, but it's just like pick up games at the local rec. And all the team names are of their sponser companies. It's hilarious. For example: mobiline cellulars san miguel beermen alaska milkmen purefoods hotdogs shell turbochargers gordin's gin boars sunkist orange bottlers sta lucia realtors These are all actual names Anyhow, anyone over 6'2" qualifies as a big man. And all the big men there are just ogres, they have no skills. It's like harlem globtrotter basketball with 2 generals teams and no globetrotters. If I don't land a spot when I go try out for these teams, then it would be the saddest moments of my life. PS. If you're just looking for size at the 5, I suggest signing the Undertaker. I think he's 7 foot. ------------------
Yes, it is a joke, but.. a. At least this is not another thread about Hakeem and his options. b. These are ex-Rockets that were moved off the roster- so this is the right forum. c. I can't believe skinny Buck Johnson is playing center for somebody! Opposing SFs used to knock him around in the NBA 10 years ago. ------------------
I heard Manute Bol is coming back to the States!!! I bet he could be had cheap. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news/ap/20010724/ap-manutebol.html ------------------ My doctor says I am bipolar. I am going to get a second opinion. I have never had intimate desires for polar bears.
well... what about joe barry carroll? he's supposed to have the second best skyhook (after kareem). or i'm sure dave feitl is still playing ball. ------------------
How can you guys forget Charles Jones? He played an important part in one championship run. ------------------
Now you guys are talkin! I spent 4 years in the PI and think it would be a great place for Patrick Ewing to finish his career. They have great clubs named Mega Head, Super Head, Fire Empire, etc. Patrick would probably have to pay through. ------------------
