    Why is Patrick Ewing still playing basketball? I know he spends a lot of money, but I'd really like to see this Planet of the Apes wannabee hang it up and stop wasting everyones' time.

    Got anyone else in mind that is playing well past their glory years that should retire?

    I am alway's amazed that people don't think that players love the game and the compitition so much that they don't want to quit playing. Don't you get this huge adrenalin rush when someone comes out to guard you and you drain a 20 foot shot right in his face. Remember what it was like when you played high school or college ball with all the fans cheering you on? Imagine that with an NBA crowd. Nobody would want to give that up...


    ...but with a little more thought it is obviouse that Ewing is embarrasing himself. Give it up Pat!

    Yeah, but that all gets balanced out when I brick shots right and left and have bad knees that won't allow me to move like I once did. Or at least I think it would balance it out... [​IMG]

    Besides, Patrick probably needs the income to pay for sex at strip clubs. (As he's alleged to have been doing)

    Why, I can remember just like it was yesterday when this young whippersnapper left me open on the perimeter just daring me to shoot over him.

    Wait a minute.

    That was yesterday.

    Yeah, my crossover dribble is when I drool from the left side of my mouth and it hits the right side of my chest.

    And it is hard to attack the basket using a walker.

    Ah, the glory. I can't leave it behind.

    What we were just talking about?
