don't cheat by googling, and rank the Rockets by age. Guess where Joey ranks. This is Not a "hate" thread, it just amuses me how old Dorsey is for a 2nd year guy (with no prior pro ball experience, though Calipari probably counts as that) having his first meaningful game. It is pretty cool, actually. He's barely younger than veteran team captain Hayes. He's older than Lebron James by a year. Chase Bundinger practically grew up watching Dorsey play when Chase was a small child. (Same goes with Donte Green, someone in the same draft class) Richard Elmer Dorsey is Chris Farley in Tommy Boy?
I was born in the 80's and I feel pretty damn old, I asked a kid today when he was born, he said 2002. Yea.
When did Mutombo enter the league? At same age as Dorsey? Look how many years he has been efficient then! It's not like every damn player has to under 25 to be "potential". Not to compare Deke to Joey but 26,27 isn't "old" even if you came right now in the league. That's prolly around 10 more years of quality basketball circa.
he was a 25 yr old rookie....pretty old he becomes 27 yrs old this year, and his only in his second yr....ouch almost 30 yrs old... --RB
Michael Jackson's Thriller video was released the month Joey Dorsey was born. Apple's famous 1984 ad was released a couple of weeks after Joey was born (the Macintosh was released the following month). The first version of Microsoft Word was released a couple of months before Joey was born. Red Hot Chili Peppers released their first album a couple of months before he was born. The Apple Lisa was released earlier that year. Hurricane Alicia hit Texas in August of that year. Ralph Sampson was a rookie that year. Akeem Olajuwon was a Cougar. Akeem wouldn't become Hakeem for another 7-8 years. I was 13 when Joey Dorsey was born.
His birthday is in December. He just turned 26. He won't be 27 in "only his second year". It'll be his 3rd year.
