No one, thought to post this?

I think its a nice feel good story for this board...

The birth certificate from the Democratic Republic of Congo makes him out to be 40-years-old. But his NBA colleagues have long joked that the document must be forged

Nice story. The game will miss Deke when he's done.

Righhhtt. And Greg Oden is really 18.

I don't care if Mutumbo is actually 56 or 60; he'll always have a place in our hearts as Rocket fans.

Yao could do the same things. you know, i'm sure there're plenty of hospitals, school, etc. for Yao to build if he wants to. that'd fit his public image well too.

^ Yao's life is already full already between playing for the Rox and the Chinese National Team. I'm sure he will get around to doing things like building hospitals but he doesn't have the time right now.

Nice article about Deke.
