    That's sad...ESPN did a little send off for Bradley and all they could show for him is all the best posterizing that has happened to him throughout the years...what a way to send the guy out of the league lol

    What a horrible way to retire. They have already showed T-Mac dunking on him 6 times. THey are going to show it again in a few minutes. It's so funny. Bradley is retiring yet T-Mac is getting most of the publicity. I saw angles of that dunk that I had never seen before

    Best news I ever heard. This guy has been STEALING money ever since he's been in the league. If he's not the biggest bust ever he's near the top of the list. People can't really appreciate how truly BAD he was unless they got to see him play in person. FYI, it will cost the Mavericks $14 million to buy him out. Incredibly, ESPN radio in Dallas this morning reported that Shawn Bradley will have made over $79 million after this buyout is done. Looks like the Mavericks are finally getting a clue on what it takes to win a championship.

    I'm not so sure he's been a such a terrible player over his career. If you look at his stats, he actually has a comparable career to guys like Kelvin Cato and regular season Bob Horry. Yeah, he's soft and gets dunked on often but he still gives you 2.5 blocks in fewer than 25 mins a game. I wish our Yao could do that. And it's not really his fault to be selected No. 2.

    Looks like McGrady also sucked all the baskeball life right out of Bradley with that dunk.

    It's about time for Bill Russell to retire and enjoy his time with Charles Barkley.

    My favorite Shawn Bradley moment -- him getting slugged in the face by the Wizard. That was awesome.

    You know, the now infamous TMac dunk is really more the fault of the defender TMac blew by than Shawn Bradley's. But Bradley's the one who got dunked on, so he's the one in the poster.

    And Bradley's not NEARLY the bust that Bryant "Big Country" Reeves turned out to be.

    Why the hell am I defending this guy? Enjoy your retirement and your millions, Bradley. I hope they buy you lots of wives when you move back to Utah.

    The defender, I am proud to say, was none other than Mr. Dirk Nowitzki. Well, he was trying to defend. No way he even stood a chance against T-mac. Oh well, Glad we got T-mac. Is "Big Country" still around?

    BTW - Here's the T-Mac dunk courtesy of R2K for everyone to upload who hasn't gotten it yet. Enjoy, it is a thing of beauty......

    Bradley just like Yao gets posterized because they do go up and attempt to block every shot. Of course they are goign to get posterized throughout the years.

    The one thing i like about Yao is that he doesn't let it get to him and he goes about his business and waits to get back on offense and hit a shot or goes back and plays defense again.
