    I bet JVG would love to have a young Vernon Maxwell on his team. He was always good for intimidation.:)

    I think that Scotty is coaching a NBDL team or something like that.

    I heard Memphis traded Darko for Otis. So you can expect good numbers from Otis this year. :)

    I'm not sure what he is currently doing, but the last year of the CBA, he coached a team that included Juaquin Hawkins. That's how Hawkins got invited to Rockets camp.

    Elie and his wife, a news anchor on channel 13 (Gina Gaston I think) recently had twins or triplets i forget which. They were on a news report about a month ago.

    I remember that a year ago, during the offseason, Ellie was trying to recfeive a call from Miami about signing him up.

    Mario Ellie usually picks a nightclub in Houston to have a party with his ex teammates from all over (yes, including Portland). He was instrumental in Houston's two championship runs, and said it's always "personal" when he played against us during his years at San Antonio (he was also instrumental in their championship with an asterisk).

    WHere'd you see Vernon? Was it near Huntsville (prisons)? :D

    Mad max was a baller! Had alot more street game than people knew. He used t go play pick up games at Hofvienz Pavillion and he would dunk over the biggest guys in there. He was ruthless and talked **** during the whole game. He had no problem getting nasty over guys way taller than him and going around guys with ease regardless of size. We need a thug like that on the team, just not starting. Once me and friend ran into Max at eh bar in Pappadeaux by the dome and gt hammered with him. He still had the cast on his arm and he was buy Ceurvo 1800 for the whole table. We stayed there for awhile then he asked us if we wanted to follow him and Thurman Thomas to Red Square. Of course we did, when we got there they were just like normal joes and partied all night. It was cool to hang with them one night.

    So Mad Max ended up as roadkill? That's a shame.

    like i said.. "take it for what it's worth... not a whole lot."

    this is hearsay, if anything, from some dude who went to my college who claims to be elie's neighbor... i'm just relaying what i heard. oh well, sorry for that one...
