    I have a name that I haven't seen anyone name.

    How about having Rudy T move up to the front office to recoup and get healthier and we hire.....(drum roll)


    KAREEM-ABDUL JABBAR


    Just heard an interview with him on the radio and he has been looking to coach for almost 10 years. He says he doesn't even get call backs or chances for interviews. Can you imagine that?


    The leading scorer of all time. Arguably the greatest center of all time...quite possibly the best player of all time...most likely the greatest college player of all time.

    He has been coaching in the "minor leagues" for years and has applied at many places. Not even an interview. You mean to tell me that all that knowledge in that bald head can't be tapped for some knowledge?

    And we all know that if there is anyone that can teach Yao how to play the position, who better than Kareem? He is actively looking for a coaching position. Hell, he said he is willing to start off being an assistant. How about that? If Rudy T is still wanted or is willing to return to the Rocks, how about assisting in the developement of the next, great big man?

    The man wants to coach. He just went on national radio to say so. I think his knowledge can't be measured. Maybe he will be like Magic and suck as a coach. But why not bring him in to work with Yao and be on the bench? I just think this guy would be a great head-coach. I think the Rocks should look at him if Rudy T moves to the front office because of his health or any other reason.

    With all the new members in here, if this topic has been brought up and I missed it...sorry for the repeat.

    Hey almu haven't seen u in a while. anyways didn't kareem coach another team? I know he's a great center but can he teach? If anything I think Yao is in good shape with CD and the rest of the big man coach. Who I think needs a coach is Francis. Houston needs a point guard coach.

    Kareem, Eddie, and Mo. That would be smokin'! The Rockets would be lighting it up! The team would be on cloud 9! ...that's all I got.

    I wouldn't mind him as an assistant either.
