    My initial nickname for him was "Spider Man"... long arms and all legs.

    ...aside from his cliché answers which appear that Ingram is sincere about, the above comments stand out. There's a quiet confidence about this young man. He can't possibly get advice from the guys since they are mostly his age...and why Deng has been signed on.

    Love this kid! He too.....more even than DAR last year coming in first couple of days. Has IT. Not to say that D'Angelo doesn't still have IT. My gut test, not to be confused with eye test or pulled from butt test ....thinks this.

    Intangibles are difficult to measure. Fans can see things that do not show up on the box score and not for the casual. Russell is probably now thinking that Ingram would pair better with him than Simmons from what he has experienced up close.

    I "liked" it ^^^... pulled from "butt" test. Though I'm not quite sure what the meaning is. My wife loves the show though. :Headbang:

    I'm not exactly sure what LT is referencing with 'butt test' but for me its a comment I mostly see on car forums. People usually use it as a term to judge modifications they do to their cars when they dont have any empirical data.

    Just meant my butt felt Mark's successful face up there was not being used to mock me. Seems it was OK with that.

    You fools.

    That's NCIS special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He gets gut feelings.

    Agreed. And I like that it's his older brother, not the father, filling that role in LA. Smart.

    He missed his prom to be in the gym. Hopefully he won't change his passion. I hope he does get a place close to the practice facility. Can't believe he's taller than Randle.
