Hey folks! This article says nothing about his contract being related to playing basketball for the team.
watch out!!! Imagine the intimidation factor when teams have to go up again the "Mad Dog" Marc Madsen and J. Collier. That's even more intimidating than facing Mourning and Motumbo.
at least he has got paid millions of dollars to sit down on the end of the bench. Hell I wish I could that lucky.
thumbs - Regarding JC playing in the NBA in 2003-04... It may be just a little premature for either of us to say it but.... I told you so.
hmmm. apparently he signed a contract what allowes him to play in nba, if he got a opportunity. a lot of players in europe doing that.
