http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/020404.html Group Four: "Borderline Franchise Guys" Nope, that's not a misprint. Jerry Stackhouse is a Borderline Franchise Guy. 15. Steve Francis -- Ranked No. 10 on this list last season, but this whole thing with the recurring migraines is truly scary ... if he gets a clean bill of health, he moves into the Top 12 ... along with Cuttino Mobley, he took part in my favorite segment of "The Life" of all-time (when they went down to the Houston Ferrari dealership in sweatsuits and looked at Ferraris) ... somebody needs to give them their own sitcom ... and Moochie Norris could be the wacky neighbor ... I should be running a network. ------- Can't disagree with their analysis, though I think Francis is better than Baron Davis. -Tariq
yeah the guy even put's him ahead fo miller and davis if he's completely healthy. i'd go ahead and put him ahead of stackhouse as well.
Hilarious 40. Lamar Odom -- No player's stock fell more dramatically over the past season ... unfortunately for Clippers fans, when Alvin Gentry mentions "fighting through screens," Lamar thinks he's talking about a clogged bong pipe ... two drug suspensions on his record (one more and he's out for the year) ... a mortal lock to change teams after the season.
Having Ray Allen 22 and Stackhouse 12 doesn't make much sense to me. Brand at is a little high too--Walker, Marion and Ben Wallace ahead of him, no way. The only two guys below Francis on this list that I think should be close to his value are Brand and Allen.
25. Karl Malone -- Ranked this high only because it would take a startling offer for the Jazz to deal him, even at his advanced age ... he means too much to the franchise ... I mean, without the Mailman, they wouldn't have choked in all those playoff series ... just for the record, anyone who looks at his (admittedly impressive) career stats and deduces that he's the "Greatest Power Forward of All-Time" should be periodically electroshocked ... thank God we don't have Robo-Journalists in the NBA. MWAHAHAHAHA MALONE BASHING!
I wonder if #15 in the league is good enough to bring Ming if he ends up being regarded as the next great big man?
Anyone see that segment of "The Life?" What was he talking about? Were Steve and Cat really funny? And Moochie...wacky neighbor? Huh?
OK, he had funny barbs for all the players. He was the guy who wrote the draft article where he said my "desagana Diop hurts." Haha.
Ya it was great...they went to buy matching ferraris at the ferrari dealership on 59 then they found out that they had to wait 3 years to get the next available ferrari and they bought matching italian scooters instead...
It's A MTV Cribs type of show on ESPN. It deals with sports stars instead of celebs or music artists.
