    He had a chance to claim the starting SF spot when he was a rookie but a second rounder beat him out. Forcing him into the PF position was done because it was an easier competition against Patterson and because Parsons logs heavy minutes. He didn't get what he wanted because a second rounder beat him out (and has proven that it wasn't just some McHale bias - Parsons can play), not because the Rokcets didn't know how to use him.

    He went from a winning team to the worst team in the Western Conference. Understandably he's bitter. He had lots of opportunities this year with the Rockets, and he had some great games.

    I doubt it.

    He gets to play with his brother, before the draft you see they pretty much did everything together. Some worried if they could handle being apart...now they are together again.

    He probably rather be on Phoenix despite the record.

    He's pissed we didn't trade him earlier.

    He should just be happy Morey was nice enough to trade him to Phoenix so he can be with his brother.

    I'm not gonna hate on Marcus. I still think he's going to be pretty good but I also think moving him was the right move for him and the Rockets.

    FOE

    "It stands for Family Over Everything. I believe Thomas and the Morris twins started it last year after Thomas' mom, Lisa, died. It symbolizes how the members of the KU basketball team are family, and how important they are to each other. If I remember correctly, Thomas and the twins have F.O.E. tattoos." -Yahoo Answers

    would be worth at least 1 plus defender, no doubt.

    Apparently they're super close, which is why Robinson has one as well.. But i think the Morris twins have used that saying as their life motto for quite a while

    I'm not even upset. He worked hard here, and now he's just sharing his thoughts.

    He didn't really trash the Rockets either, just said he felt he was used out of position.

    Which is fine.

    They seem tricky to spot. Here's a Barkley jersey I found on google. Can't promise that the site's legit though, don't know anything about it. Buy at your own risk.

    How do these guys get so much tattoos. Tattoos aren't cheap and a lot of these guys have thousands of dollars of tattoos before they get to the league.

    Can you guys tell them apart without looking at the Jersey number?
