    I know this is nowhere near as interesting as the "trading Jason Collier for Shaq" threads, but I just noticed this buried in the Inside the NBA section of last week's Sports Illustrated. It's a quote from Walt in a feature called "Personal Choice":

    "I write 4 U POPS 43-92 on my shoes because those were the years my father, Walter Sr., was born and died. I also write 40 on the back of my shoes, because that's my teammate Shandon Anderson's number, and his mother passed away during preseason. My father was my biggest supporter. I remember times when I played at Crossland High in Maryland. I would look over in the stands at him and it would bring a smile to his face. He was also my toughest critic. Even now I feel like he's out there with me, and I miss him a lot."

    Something tells me Walt's never been to the Clutch BBS ... [​IMG]
