First of all I was pissed because even though I had done 2 shows I had only been paid for one… This cheered me up! I was walking through the tunnel at the Baltimore Arena (Baltimore MD.) and I see a familiar, friendly face, it was Sam Cassel. We spent a few seconds exchanging pleasantries and laughed about “friends” that we had in common when he was in Houston. I knew I recognized one of the guys with him but it didn’t click because of the missing trademark headband, it was James Posey. My first impression of Posey was that he was shorter and much more conservative than I would have thought. He had on a brown-stripped shirt and dark brown slacks; he was very clean-shaven and quiet. “James Posey!” I said forgetting about Sam, I introduced myself and shook hands with him, “That was funny out there”, he said, I thanked him then got down to business. “Great season, Mayne (got that from OmegaSupreme)” he thanked me, but then said, “Yeah but WATCHING those playoff was hard”. Ah sh*t now was my time to get into it, “Man, we love having you in Houston” and before I could finish my sales pitch he said, “…and I love being there”. Sam was ready to go and started to walk off with another guy, as Posey was leaving I stabbed at it one more time, “Do you think, you guys are gonna work it out?” “I hope so” he said as he extended his hand again as his parting gesture, “Aight Sam” I said, I guess he didn’t hear me because he kept walking, but I was so cool with my exchange with Posey I didn’t even care. I heard that Elton Brand was with them but I never saw him. I never got paid.
First words that shoulda come out of your mouth shoulda been: "Posey! Sup dawg? You know you ain't worth the 4.5 mill exception right? Word to your mutha." nice to see Posey wants to be back.
Thanks for sharing AB You should have tracked down Brand and asked him to tell his agent to work out a trade to the Rockets. I wonder where Francis was
Sounds like you need to assemble a gaggle of BBS posters to act as your "muscle", AB. We could walk around behind you with laptops and generally look menacing. When people don't pay you for shows, we could take pictures of them and photoshop YoYao into the snapshots, then post them all over the internet. THAT would get you paid, fer sure.
