    We'd certainly have no problem coming up with a nickname for him...

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! [​IMG] (Off chair laughing)

    I love his name behind the jersey!

    What would it take to convince this guy to play in the States?

    Dr, you da best. Laughter is by far the best medicine and this alone should last me to the next millennium. LOL!

    Thanks DOD. That was so funny. For anybody who hasn't looked, check out the website. Pay attention to the headlines, especially the 3rd one. That one had me rolling off the chair laughing.

    surprisingly, Gregor is somewhat regarded....I've seen him a lot of places as a second round pick. Lol...

    Couldn't you just imagine David Stern walking up to the podium and calling out his name on draft night? That would be so funny...

    I say Rudy oughta just draft him in the 2nd round. Or SOMEBODY with a late 2nd round pick ought to draft him just to piss Stern off.

    I really don't start many threads and this post may give you reasons to be thankful for that :

    While wasting time before flying back to DFW from Houston, I thought I'd run around the WWW looking for European players the Rockets may like. I came upon a site that was conducting a poll as to who is the best European player today. One player's name on the list caught my eye... no, not for his stats, not for his ability, and not for his ability to improve the Rockets, but rather for his... name. Look at the URL below and see if you can spot the name I want Gene Peterson to be screaming. I'd love the league to cringe everytime Rudy brought this guy in...

    Go to : http://www.telebasket.com/player_info.asp?id_player=5080
    Then click on the "Polls" dropdown on the left and select "Who's the Best European Player Today?"
    Press "GO".

    Hmm... better go check on my flight times before I really start posting more inane topics.

    Hey we took Serge Zwikker once in the second why the hell not. I mean their are only so many Cuttino's and Shandon's you can find. Lets do it. If we drafted him I wish everyone on the roster gets injured for preseason so he could start a game at home. Grrrrrrregor F U C K Aaaaaaaaaaaa

    Possible nicknames:

    Gregor "Mutha" ****a
    Gregor "Pig" ****a (I know we have a pig already, but it sounds better than Pig Miller)
    Gregor "The Mack Trucka" ****a
    Gregor "I'm gonna get you, sucka" ****a

    That's all I could think of. Any more ideas?

    By the way, that poll is terrible....Arvydas at 1? Kukoc is ranked too low, as well as Nowitzki, Abdul-Wahad, and Schrempf. But what do I know?
