Deke on 610

No need to be offensive. I was just trying to educate an ignorant idiot like you.

 

I recall reading that Deke has been injured much of the last couple years which was partly responsible (that and father time) for is reduced production. What I don't recall is the nature of the injuries and if he has sufficiently healed. Anyone know the scoop on that? I'm kinda hoping if the injuries are behind him that he may have more left in the tank than many suspect he has. TIA for any input.

 

HAHA, Irony kills

 

Where did you guys get the caption for the radio?

 

Well as someone who has actually lived in Africa, I can authoritatively tell you that $8M (USD) is actually a lot. In a typical African country like Deke's DRC, the value of this amount of money can be up to 10 times more that it will be here. Rememeber also that the DRC government donated the land for free (if my memory serves me correctly). Also remember that before he went into the noble project he did his home work and he had a target of the dollar amount it will take to raise a descent badly needed hospital in his home country.

The moral of of my contribution here is that $8M can travel in many other countries around this earth farther than it can here in USA.

Africa is not a country.....rather a continent complete with over 50 sovereign countries. I believe it is the second largest continent in terms of size and population as well. I assume most people here know this but I just want to clarify that.

 

Which one is Dikembe Mutombo its so hard to tell...

 

Isnt there a singer that sounds like Deke?

 

I think that hearing him on 610 the other day was actually the first time I have ever been subjected to extended listening of the mutombo.. and I just gotta say..

HE IS THE WALRUS!

 

Are you kidding me??? This one is too easy, only took me 2 minutes to pick him out. Mutombo is the one in the 2nd pic, holding the basketball infront of his face.

-G'day-

 

dont know how much $ you earn, but 8 million seems like alot to me. its more than the average nba player's annual salary. how many athletes have given away that much money in their whole career? for mutumbo, this is only one instance of his generosity. i wonder how much he has given during his career.

i never cared for finger-waving mutumbo, but after learning more about his charitable work im proud to have a class act like him on our team.

 

Geez, you people twisted my post in the wrong direction. I did not say 8 mil is not a lot of money. It's just that, to build a brand new hospital anywhere on earth, you would most certainly need more than that. Hospital is not just a bunch of empty buildings. You need equipment and staff. He probably had other resources, like a piece of free land and lots of volunteers.

 

then, you need a $80mil hospital, instead.

 

youre such an idiot... its definitely #3... i mean cmon, he just let he let himself go a little since he was in africa busy handling his business...

and before anyone starts flaming... its a joke btw

 

i'm happy with the deke signing....i can't wait to see this line up during a game at one point: 5-yao 4-deke 3-howard 2-tmac 1-sura... the new version of the twin towers... this lineup will clog up the lane for other teams trying to penetrate to the hole....look at that height...we'll be gr8 on the boards..every player is 6'5" and higher.... tmac- 6'8" yao - 7'6" deke - 7'2" sura - 6'5" howard - 6'9".... i just hope deke can stay healthy...we could use a better back up small forward tho... i'm not convinced with boki's skills yet...it's taking him too long to develop

 

It's just ok, not that gr8.
Yao's just another copy of Magette.
