He signed with the magic today. Remember how good this guy was in college and then became one of the biggest busts. ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be. With the pieces they already have in place and myself, we can do some amazing things next season." Maurice Taylor
yeah this guy was good , I loved the 1995 UCLA team , Tyus Edny , Toby Bailey , Ed and Charles Obannon , Jelani McCoy ------------------ This signature space for rent call 555 ...
I thought this guy was a superstar coming into college. Then he blew out his knee(s?) and it's been downhill since then. ------------------ Falk that Mo Fo!!!
lol smegg. they havent had TOO bad of picks...at least they didnt pick battie at #2 instead of van horn. i think battie was taken at #3 by the nuggz. O'bannon is a talented guy. but thats what injuries do. hes alot like kg with a better jump shot. SCARY
I have his rookie card. Damn, and I was hoping I'd be able to sell it for some good $$. ------------------ Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!
Come on vj23k. Ed was never in KG's league. I was thinking more like a poor man's sean elliot. ------------------ "Well, I don't know what I received my honorary degree in, but judging by the fine sisters in the crowd, I hope it is gynecology." Mike Tyson speaks to the crowd after receiving his honorary degree from a college in Ohio.
damn, i always leave parts of my thoughts out. i meant that he did alot of things LIKE kg, just not as well...but he did have a better jumper, I'd like to see him make a comeback.
He isn't nearly as tall and long as Garnett either. He was too much of a tweener to ever become a great nba player ------------------
O'Bannon is nowhere near Garnett in ANY department. Better jumpshot??? Garnett is one of the sweetest shooting big men out there. HUH? Right. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I cant believe a thread about Ed Bannon has gotten 9-10 replys. But I have his rookie card too Rockets'r'us ------------------ Fun Police Says: 1. Stupid threads & Stupid BBS names are not FUN! 2.

Rockets02, It got so many replies because someone said he was good and compared him to Garnett. Good way to invoke arguments to the contrary! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
9th overall in 1995..... ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Hey dont feel bad , I threw away a Jalen Rose rookie for Yinka Dare and Tyus Edny ouch! ------------------ This signature space for rent call 555 ...
Hoop-T, sure kgs got a nice jump shot. but o'bannon shoots them like a guard. And on his rookie card(does everyone have one? lol) he measured in at 6'10. I dobut that he really is, but he might be somewhere close to that.
I agonizingly watched O'Bannon play here in Dallas. He does NOT shoot like a guard. He may have in college, but....that was college. He is nearly handcuffed offensively in this league...or he was. I had to watch him shoot airballs, bricks, and an occasional made basket. He was hard to watch, because I always got scared for Dallas when he got the ball on offense. I am not sure how much he has improved in Europe. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
