I must have been on mars these last two years. I thought that Francis and Brand were the co-rookies of the year in 1999. I also thought they were the top 2 sophmores this last year in ppg. What idiots did not want them on the team? ------------------
huh? ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
He is talking about the fact that neither Francis nor Brand was selected for the Goodwill Games. ------------------
Don't countries usually save the "better" players for the Olympics? University ( ) Blue [This message has been edited by University Blue (edited May 21, 2001).]
If they went talenmt wise they would take 12 players from the 99-00 draft ------------------ The Rocket Saint ST.eve Francis of a CC.net
I think its more obvious now that the 2 were not chosen because they were too good. There is no way they intentionally shaft the ROY's for any reason, they are both nice guys. ------------------ You've got your problems I've got my hash pipe...
Don't worry it's not like anybody pays attention to the stupid Goodwill Games. Remember, the 2000 Olympics left MVP Allen Iverson off the roster...go figure. The selection criteria is total BS. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
Maybe Jerry's pissed Marion didn't win the ROY. ------------------ NBA Draft Lottery is May 20th. Start praying now.
On Brand not being selected, he let it be known that he wouldn't accept an invitation to play in the games because he wanted to stay in Chicago and workout with his teammates during the offseason. I guess they used the pot and Canada instances as reasons to omit Odom and Francis. ------------------
