What ever happened to the big guy the Rockets had a while back? I don't remember his name, but he was known as "Two Sandwiches" by Calvin and Bill. Does anybody remember this guy? He was pretty good I thought, and he got quite a bit of playing time, then he just dissapeared... ------------------ <A HREF="http://www.nba.com/tv_programs/courtside_countdown.html?nav=ArticleList Check" TARGET=_blank>http://www.nba.com/tv_programs/courtside_countdown.html?nav=ArticleList Check</A> out play #2!
You're refering to good ol' Thomas Hamilton. His fat butt probably got waived or something. ------------------
Didn't he end up at Macca's? Oh, he was the BUTT of many jokes around here. Didn't he say Rudy should be starting him, or something like that? ------------------ Homer Simpson: "I'm gonna tell you 3 things that will haunt you for the rest of your life! You've ruined your father, crippled your family, and baldness is hereditary!"
Rudy got on him about his extremely lackadaisical play and his ass not getting any smaller at all and him just faking on his commitment to get in shape or play hard. You see he had been arrested for coke possesion and was on parole at the time we picked him outta nowhere then he was playin in the first 2/3rds of 2000-01 for us but seemed to have areal bad attitude. Anyway Rudy got sick and tired of him and let it be known and there was a confrontation in the locker room and Rudy told him to go and he was waived, not to be seen again. He has probably nearly used up the half-mil he got for that year on coke and pork rinds. A shame cause he coulda been near as good as Shaq if he gave a ****.
I don't remember the exact circumstances but it seemed like he made a big scene in the locker room during a coast road trip about playing time and Rudy T waived right there. ------------------
You'd think from his massive size he would be able to get the coke possesion dropped. I thought it was an appetite SUPPRESSANT. That guy sucks anyway, imho. I'd rather have Pig. ------------------
I heard that he refused to go on the court when Rudy asked him to play during a game and only entered reluctantly and played very poorly resulting in him being waived from the team. ------------------
He got into a arguement with Rudy trying to tell Rudy how he should coach, because his fat ass was getting beat. Rudy waived his ass right on the spot. ------------------ "Instinctly u recognize things,now take advantage of what u just recognized!".. Hakeem..
Two Sammiches!!! Didn't Calvin give him that nickname because he thought he was 2 sandwiches short of being 400 lbs or something to that effect? ------------------
Something like that. One game Calvin said that they should be careful playing Hamilton and Stan Roberts at the same time, because if they were on the same side of the court, it would tip over. ------------------ The title will come to ClutchCity once again.
Every time Dream gave him a hand off the bench, it aggrivated his asthma-like condition. j ------------------ Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!
Well, I scoured the CC.net archives looking for a report, but no luck. However<a href="http://www.reporternews.com/2000/texsports/rockets0114.html">This article</a> says that he was "disgruntled". As far as I can recall, Hamilton and Rudy had it out in the locker room after a game -- I think Two Sandwiches wanted more playing time, or maybe that last donut. Either way, it's too bad that he's got the Kelvin Cato disease (bad attitude), because he has the gift, but he doesn't care. Kindof like Stanley Roberts, but with a worse attitude. ------------------ CC.net's most courteous driver Oh yeah, and I'm looking for a job right now, so hire me please
Not to get off topic, but one of the withdrawl symptoms of cocaine is <a href="http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/cocaine/cocaine_effects.shtml">loss of sex drive</a>, so how does anybody explain Sean Kemp going into cocaine rehab yet having seven illegitimate kids?? Oh well, Thomas Hamilton sucked...There, I'm back on topic ------------------ Mein bratwurst has a first name, it's F-R-I-T-Z Mein bratwurst has a second name, it's S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N
