I know he gave the explanation why his nickname is Flip, but I honestly don’t see any resemblance between the two.

Rafer Alston - where is he now?

Now almost a decade into retirement, Alston — AKA Skip to my Lue — is now taking on a new chapter in his life. The 42-year-old now serves as a scout for the Minnesota Timberwolves, scouring the amateur ranks in search of the next big thing.

Speaking of heat with Daniel Ewing, who is a non Jordan Brand member. Jordan Brand did ALOT of promotion for the Jordan 20. Somehow he got them early and was the first NBA player to wear them, and cut off the straps around the ankle. All that anticipation/promotion etc., for them to be worn by a non Jordan Brand member and then modified by cutting the straps off.

Couldn’t shoot a lick...but could pass the F outta that ball.

RE: Doug Christie

Well he was a solid 3PT Shooter during his prime (SAC). He was a Secondary Ball-Handler, good passer, good defender. So I would call him a Handling 3 & D Wing.

A lot of y’all are posting role players that had solid, lengthy careers. This should be guys who just randomly dropped off the face of the Earth.
