    UPDATE: Video added...

    <HR>

    Joey Dorsey is NOT SHY ... he is pretty funny too. There were a couple of bust up moments in the press conference.

    1) Les Alexander got a cell phone call, and he answered it in the middle of the press conference. "Hello?" -- Everyone laughed... Dorsey went to shake his hand -- like "you're my kind of owner!"

    2) There were questions to Daryl about doing the 2-for-1 and how he thought he did. Dorsey stepped in -- "I gave you an A" for his draft grade. Everyone laughed. Morey later quipped "It's funny he gave me that because it's better than any grade he got at Memphis" -- place erupted in laughter.

    Dorsey is VERY confident. When asked what his game is or who he patterns himself after, it was:

    "Ray Lewis with a basketball".

    Working on video, but not sure I'll be able to get it up here from the TC.

    I like that we picked up a couple of guys with charisma. Sometimes you get guys that are just a bump on a log, and you gotta wonder how a coach can possibly get through to them.

    thanks for the info...

    Both picks have the ability to help the rockets now and in the future, depending on the rest of the roster moves.

    It was probably Charles Barkley saying, "nice suit; I like the suit, but you need some socks; wear some socks."

    Best of luck to Dorsey but I have a hard time seeing him making the team. Although, his ownage of Kevin Love still lingers in the back of mind. Hopefully he can learn to do that to actual athletic big men too.

    While I was a little reluctant on acquiring Dorsey, the thought of him taking on Boozer brings a smile to my face - I mean, "Ray Lewis with a basketball"?!?! That's awesome.

    Joey Dorsey sounds like a boxer's name.

    "Ray Lewis with a basketball." Is it just me or is that going to win over a lot of the fanbase that was on the fence about Dorsey.

    Clutch already said he was working on it. This thread could use a sticky though for when it does come up.
