**Rafer Alston Appreciation Thread**

[royster]

Man from all Skip's been through and the road he took to get to the League it's just uber incredible. Now he has the chance to lead a team to an NBAchampionship, very much appreciated

AND1, Get Yours lol

, even though I questioned his shot selection while in Houston and heconstantly used to piss me off. He played hard, he played D, and he knew how to run a team.
Glad to see he's doing well with his new team.

Everytime I hear Common '1999' I flash back to Skip.

I'm sayin. I was just listening to that this morning and I all can think is a hazy video of skip skipping behind a ball .

 

[infinite04]

def skip had a great game last night....but dude is still inconsistent...he just has to keep things in check aka not taking bad threes, unneccesary passes etc

It's good to see him do his thing.

 

[raptors29]

He's definitely appreciated. I was kind of worried when Jameer went down with that injury and we got Alston. I didn't trust his jumpshot/decisionmaking.

"It's been a challenge for me, all throughout the playoffs. Philadelphia dared me to shoot it, and I burned them. Boston dared me to shoot it, and I burned them, too, at their place. This is a make-and-miss league. Right now I'm able to knock them down.'' - Rafer Alston

The article was nice, I remembered having that SLAM issue. Everybody was like who the hell is he? lol When i seen him play at Fresno i was like this cat hassome serious handles. Happy for him. He has really started from the streets to the league

Skip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kvn]

Glad he's finally getting what he deserves! Bout to rock my Raptors ALston jersey this weekend! Still waiting to get my rooking bucks jersey done.....Yup Istill rock jerseys!

 

[sickwitit]

Appreciated. Especially that crossover/spin-move thing he does to make dudes look foolish. I remember when he was a Rocket he made Sasha all mad towardsthe end of the game with his moves.

 

[hampisaboss]

Why are teams loafin on him like he's Kevin Ollie
