    Naw...you are not even close yet.

    We are the same height, but I have 20 pounds on ya...

    I am officially fat.
    Married 8 yrs...gained 40 pounds since then...so we can assume..

    Each yr of marriage = 5 pounds of fat on ur ass. ;)

    I came up with a good excuse as to why I gained weight after I got married. I said it before. But my official excuse is that I tell everyone is "The race was over, so I took off the uniform". :p

    i am pretty sure that kenny thomas is the one with a basketball tattoo over his calf. i saw it earlier in the season, maybe the same shot as you.

    I think that's right. I noticed a tatoo fitting that description during the last game. When the camera panned up, it was KT. I only caught a glimpse of the tatoo(mostly I check out the shoes on those shots :D ). But it was KT.

    Rockets2K -- yes! I saw the basketball tatoo on what I thought was Yao's calf. Sure looked like it was on lily white skin to me so don't think it was Kenny's. I think that's the answer to what will be Yao's first (and only I hope) tatoo!

    I saw it too. I matched it up during the game, but I forgot who it was -- either Eddie G or Mo T. I think it was Eddie though. I know it was one of the PFs.

    What will be cool is when Yao Ming wears Steve's armband and Steve wears Yao Ming's. Just like Cat and Mooch and Steve do :)

    Yao Ming has no tatoos on his legs or is even entertaining the idea of getting one.

    It was KT with the basketball tat. I don't know what it says though. Maybe I'll watch the tape and see.. :D

    And I'm pretty sure that Ming's leg is more of a white color. ;)

    Oh, and Ming needs the armband to wipe the sweat off his hand after pushing his man around on defense. That's why he had an off shooting night against NO. :D I guess......:p

    oj411,
    Glad to have you here Creskin...:rolleyes:

    Thanks guys, I'm glad I wasn't imagining things. The calf in question was lighter, but not "lily-white" It was more like someone with a good tan, as far as I can remember. KT is light-skinned enough for that to be his. So I'll go with that unless we get better intel. ;)

    codell,

    not only did I take off the uniform, I mothballed that mutha...
    I probably wouldn't know how to put it on if I needed to. LOL!

    RE: Yao Ming's armband

    I read here couple of days ago that someone wants to know why he wears an armband. It's not a fashion statement. Apparently Yao got some scrapes/bruises from the Hornets game that's why he's wearing them. Yao said there are quite a bit of "cheapshots" behind the play in the NBA.

    Err, I guess it is written in Chinese. Would someone please translate the relevant paragraphs for those of us who are Chinese-challenged. :(

    I think that was meant as a joke. Even if my skin got hard I wouldn't wanna get scratched/pulled/pinched every game.

    He should wear a black armband to commemorate Charles Barkley's career :)
