    He may be the best 3-point shooter on this team.

    I watched Forbes play at Umass when I lived in the area. He was always fun to watch. He was able to knock down the midrange and 3 back then and even was able to drive and finish at times. Haven't seen him play any since he was drafted though.

    Conditioning. Similar to training in high altitude, training with a gas mask will increase your VO2 max.

    I remember doing gas mask workout drills in the Air Force with full gear on. It's intense to say the least.

    Not sure if Gary Forbes knows this, but the Rockets actually test their players VO2 max before the season.

    I have lived in Sydney my entire life (I'm 27) and have never seen a funnel web.
    I have seen a handful of redbacks though. They're probably the 2nd deadliest spider in Australia.

    I'll see huntsman spiders maybe once every 1 or 2 months, but they're harmless to humans. I get one on my car once every few years maybe. Saw one above my manager's desk (on the ceiling) last month

    Actually like him, good addition to the team. Kinda fills the 3pt shooting void we have.

    forbes a small forward. he's too much of a one dimensional shooter to play power forward.

    More talk of Forbes actually being worth something and less talk of beastly spiders. I would like to sleep again someday.
