Both the NBA player & the NT persona are lame.

 

[lazyj10]

saw this yesterday and thought of the dude who posts in S&T

1) Hard to believe/remember he was a 1st Round Pick....got the best court side seats though
2) The Bulls may have had the worst draft in 2000.......all the way through 2003. They basically went 0/10 (not counting Jay Williams).
