    I am surprised they did not choose Mutumbo also -- but wasn't he wanted in Africa a while back over some sort of corruption or gold smuggling charges. Even if those charges were dropped, that may have been why they went with Dream, even though he does not currently reside in Africa.

    They sent the dude who offered to let David Robinson start over him in the All Star game over the dude with the 12 page credit card statement from a strip club in Atlanta. Not as surprising as y'all are making it out to be.
