    Whose were "harder" ..... Kwame Brown or Roberto Duran's? :Magic Brows:

    The movie is out this weekend I think. Wonder if it will be any good? Duran in his prime was amazing. Loved watching films of his fights.

    I'll never ever forget 24's account of how Brown told him not to pass him the ball. I don't think I've heard of an NBA player say something along those lines.

    I like the Auguste signing. He'd keep practice lively with his energy...probably get in some games when the squad needs that spark.

    I'm not big on August, but he certainly is high energy.

    Why not

    I think he and Black will make practices better...keep the incumbents ahead of them focused.

    Slow the role, we need to see his dance moves first.

    To Me the Order of Recent Top Bench Dancers:

    1) Ronny Turiaf - the passion, hand movements, throwdowns (of towels), the guy brought it all every day.
    2) Mark Madsen (was going to put him first but he made his fame to dancing in the Championship Parade. Not during games based off my memory)
    3) Rob Sacre - He was great but its tough when you're going up against two Titans of Dance in Ronny and Mark.

    Now that everyone on the roster is officially signed and the Olympics are over, any chance we get press conferences soon? I wanna hear from Mozgov, Deng, Calderon, and Yi.

    yeah, i'm curious about the thought process here, but in the end, this is a guy who shouldn't see the floor unless catastrophe strikes, so i'm not going to invest much time in trying to figure it out.

    I don't know if anyone remembers this, but in the Fox Sports West days, but they once had a pre-game show where they surprised Ronny on his birthday. He entered the room yelling out a "WOOOOO" and doing knee-highs before the Laker girls could even say surprise, it was just awesome.

    Hey I was just checking out the LB Facebook site for the first time. Very cool!! But back on Aug 17 there was this post that said we signed Jonathan Holmes to a contract. He was on the C bag SL team. Is that just a contract for the D League and probably camp?
