Starring as the Stay Puff Marshmallow man in a remake of Ghostbusters?? Traded for two chalupas and a double decker?? Pulling balls off their trajectory by his gravitational pull?? DAMN!! I thought I was rough on fat people...Everyone has already used up all the Thomas Hamilton fat jokes!! What about me? I don't want to seem "unoriginal" or anything, so I'll just straight up say it... Fat people have no place in the game of basketball... It's that simple, people. I play hoops recreationally at least two times a week, , and almost every time I play, there is some chubby guy rolling his derrier out there and trying to ball. They always stand there (it seems that fat guys are the only people capable of working up a sweat just standing in one place) and watch the skinny guys sky over them for rebounds and move around their huge mass stealing the ball from them. They also show much resistance if asked to jump more than one inch in the air. If you ever watched Thomas Hamilton, you might notice that he was perfectly fine when standing there, but when the difficult task of moving came up, that is where his game stalled. Call me crazy, but I think that being able to move while dribbling a basketball (or just plain move) might be a skill that a person would want to have. Imagine the scouting report on this guy: Thomas Hamilton Position: Center Height: 7'2" Weight: Truck scale not available Strenghts: Excessive body odor can cause opponents' vision to become blurred, thus causing missed shots Weaknesses: trouble moving, poor shooting outside of 1 foot, passing, dribbling, lack of speed, lack of court vision, objects lodged in fat rolls sometimes fall out causing distraction among teammates... Oh well, since there are no more fat jokes available for Thomas Hamilton, can I talk about how Pig Miller's ears stick out?? A-Train
So much substance and content in that post, but where do I start? Hmmm... How about with... Charles Barkley was fat when he came to the league. He did alright and he is the exception, not the rule, but it kind of destroys your generalized statement that "Fat people have no place in the game of basketball...". But the Hamilton jokes are old... let's start a new pointless thread about people who start threads that say absolutely nothing. ------------------ Rocket fuel pumps through these veins...

"Pigs ears stick out"... How do you think he gets all those boards? ------------------ There can be only one...
don't forget the hmmmm.... chris rock? joke: TBone is so fat then when I yell Kool-Aid the mo@#$rf#@$er comes jumping through the wall. Nah, but seriously folks... what happened to tbone was unfortunate. I had alot of hope for the guy. I thought he had a good attitude, and would help out alot w/ helping Dream's game (tired opponent). But he had to go and screw it up and question Rudy. Fat Ass.
