Why is he a dork for having a website? You can have a website too if u want one. What a waste of a thread.
now that's a bit harsh, don't ya think?? First of all, he's a Rocket! Secondly, he's a Rocket with a web presence! Now how cool is that?? Now apologize to Mr. Amaechi and drop a few bucks in the tip jar for your penance.
Dude is an extremely intelligent and well-versed guy. I am proud to call the man a Houston Rocket. Too bad there aren't more "dorks" in the NBA. But I guess you prefer the likes of Rasheed Wallace, J.R. Rider, and Damon Stoudamire, huh?
This was hilarious! Not that blacks can be prejudged. But rather how Ameechi describes the occourace of prejudgement with his quick Brit sarcasm and cynicism. "...anacondas in a mating ball" Heh...heh...
this is what one website had to say bout MEECH http://www.stariq.com/Main/Articles/P0000762.HTM John Amaechi: Sagittarius Renaissance Man At center, we find John Amaechi, holding his own against the likes of Alonzo Mourning and San Antonio’s Twin Towers. American born but raised in England, Amaechi (born November 26, 1970, at 1:31 am EST in Boston), with his impeccable British accent, doesn’t quite sound like your typical NBA player. In fact, this Sagittarian Renaissance man is working on a doctorate in child psychology and plans to open a practice when his playing days are over. Pluto, the planet that is linked to psychology and all manner of healing and transformative experiences, is tightly conjunct the Ascendant in Amaechi’s chart. The Ascendant, or rising sign, is perhaps the most personal part of the chart and rules the physical body. Amaechi has revealed that he was tormented by other children when he was young because of his size. He was drawn to child psychology as a result of those painful experiences, and his goal is to use the wisdom he has gained through his own suffering to bring about healing in others. In a recent victory over the Miami Heat, a collision under the basket with Alonzo Mourning’s elbow opened up a nasty cut on Amaechi’s head. Fifteen minutes and eight stitches later, he was back on the court. When quizzed by reporters about the blow, Amaechi quipped, “I didn’t see stars. We don’t have stars on our team.” Just plenty of heart, hustle and a strong belief in Magic
I am British, my personal space is about ten times that of my typical American counterpart (hell, it might be about 5 times that of my typical British peer!) WTF?? that sounds almost French Not only that but it almost sounds like he's trying too hard to sound smart
