    Ready to Retire:
    Patrick Ewing - averaging a career low 9.4 ppg this year on 41% shooting
    Hakeem Olajuwon - averaging a career low 9.9 ppg this year on 50% shooting
    Mookie Blaylock - averaging a career low 9.4 ppg on 37% shooting
    Avrydas Sabonis - averaging a career low 9 ppg and 5 rpg
    Scottie Pippen - averaging a career low 8.8 ppg on 42% shooting and 4.6 rpg

    --------------------

    I agree with most and I'm still laughing at the thought of them putting Quitten on the list. After all, he thinks he can take the Blazers to the championship, heck, all the plays nowadays rotate around him. LOL

    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Pippen needs to shut his mouth. He has never been anything without MJ, and this year won't be any different.

    Obviously, you are a Pippen fan! He had a chance to prove himself here in Houston, but he chose a different direction! Didnt his wife wanna stay here?

    I didn't hear anything about his wife wanting to stay here. I do remember hearing noise from Pip about how he didn't really want to be traded if it wasn't to the Lakers. After all, Portland is a smaller media market then Houston.

    BTW, 8 ppg ? We get that from Walt Williams, don't we ?

    Scottie only wanted to go to the Lakers because then he could ride Shaq and Kobe's coattails to a championship just like he did with MJ in chicago.

    Mr. Clutch, it was a joke. I figured the smiley and the brilliant man remark would indicate that.

    DIDNT BARKLEY TAKE THE MINIMUM SALARY SO QUITEN COULD GET BIG BUCKS? If so, pippen is such a selfish pig for saying chuck is selfish!
