    to a slim 330 lbs from a high of over 400. Now he wants back in the NBA, claiming to be better than ever-- capable of getting a double-double in 25 minutes.


    Morey, get her done!

    Positives:

    - Nobody will call us undersized with Yao sitting any more.

    - Has nice shooting touch and passing skills.

    - Long arms enable him to be a great shotblocker and rebounder.

    - The Big O has verticals and horizontals.

    - About 10 years younger than our last back up C.


    Negatives:

    - He's 39 years old.

    - Last played in the NBA in 2004.

    - When you say "he has potential to develop," that's not a good thing.

    I give him 3 months before he eats through his gastric bypass.

    But he could probably school Dorsey.

    Pig Miller huh? I doubt he could post double doubles. Cutting weight doesn't make you suddenly good. He should've tried this approach when he was young still.

    Bring Cedric Ceballos back too so he can show James White and Wafer how to dunk wearing a see-through blindfold.

    Not quite.

    Anthony "Pig" Miller was a journeyman PF/C who played for the Rockets during the ill-fated Francis-Mobley lottery years.

    Oliver Miller is just a pig. Unfortunately, since Anthony Miller already had that nickname, Oliver lucked out and avoided that moniker.

    That pretty much wraps Dorsey up in a nutshell.

    With a name like CriscoKidd, I thought you'd be his biggest fan.

    Didn't he once impersonate a cop and try to give someone a ticket, or was that Olden Polynice?

    That was Polynice. In all fairness to Oliver Miller, he was a key backup on the 1993 Suns team that went to the NBA Finals.

    Wait... did I just say 1993? LOL. Never mind. I forgot that was sixteen years ago. Might as well give Richard Dumas a call as well.

    It seems like a trend these days that former NBA players trying to make a comeback or trying to. The economy is really that bad.
