GREAT VIDEO. gooood song, I LOVE SHANE BATTIER, tmac is especially gonna lov ehim too. all that hustle and hard work, wow hes amazing. i cant waitt!!!
shane battier is gonna make games a LOT uglier with that hussle of his. good video, but i have to admit i laughed a little watching a hussler player's mix clip. think this is the first of them. good job tho!
I love shane battier!!! lol. seriously tho, cool video. I love what he's going to bring to this team.
Awesome, LOL....he would issue a statement like that through his agent or directly to the media. Good work.
Yao tries but as long as he's 7 feet 5, he'll never get enough calls. VSpan is also a charge guy as well but he's just way too aggressive about it. They don't call as many charges in the NBA so if Kill Bill plays like he does in Greece, he'll pick up a bunch of blocking fouls.
I'm excited about the start of every season, but this year I can feel it. This year could be the start of something great. Battier is a guy you can rely on to produce in some aspect and give full effort. Awesome video!
I dug this up from an old article about Battier before he was drafted. I was always surprised about this... "At a workout in Atlanta, he outlasted Michigan State swingman Jason Richardson in a dunk contest called the Superman drill. In the drill, the player tries to dunk as many times consecutively without collapsing. Battier stopped at 70. Richardson was finished at 63." http://www.sptimes.com/News/062601/news_pf/Sports/Battier_a_college_gia.shtml
I remember reading an article similar to this one back in '01. You can't help but appreciate Battier's intelligence, his much underrated athleticism and basketball skills. Most of the high draft picks in that year turned out to be bust or mediocre (Kwame Brown ... Eddie Griffin ... lol). It's Battier's time to shine with Yao Ming and TMac's Rockets.
A video of one tournament. I counted one block, two floor burns, six deflections, and eight drawn charges. That's some fine work, Shane.
This guy is an enhanced version of Bowen. I see the toughness inside of him. I hope Yao won't have time to get on this site and accidentally see this vid.
who can we compare shane to that has been on our team from years past? what other blue collar players have we had that would do the things that shane does?
