a sad day

Thursday June 23rd, 2005 one of the greatest Mormon centers of all time decided to call it quits on a great NBA career. That is right I am talking about 7 foot, 6 inches, the Massive Mormon Shawn Bradley. Drafted 2nd overall by the 76ers in 1993, the greatest shoot blocker of all time played 16 years for three different teams. Spent most of his career with the Dallas Mavericks as a back up center, averaging 8.1 points and 2.8 blocks per game.

Now what will Shawn Bradley do next, will he follow the footsteps of the last great big man Manute Bol . Maybe a Celebrity death match between the two great centers. May Shawn will do great things after his NBA career like sell Volkswagen bugs in Dallas or maybe start a chain of Shawn Bradley big and tall store for men.

Remember as we watch the college world series and the NBA finals this Thursday that one of the great big men in NBA history is calling it quits. He is truly a great American Mormon hero to all of us.

First of all, Shawn Bradley really, really sucks. Second of all, can you say any MORE times how mormon he is? Here's what SI.com says about the "great" Shawn Bradley
"No player in NBA history has been picked on as much as the soon-to-retire Bradley. While he developed into a so-so big man in limited minutes, he had "B-U-S-T" written all over him from the time he declared himself eligible out of BYU."

Looks like they forgot to mention he's mormon.

Ya....hate to be a prick, but Shawn Bradley sucks. A 7'7" tall monkey would have the same amount of basketball skill. You BETTER be the greatest shotblocker of all time when your wingspan puts your hand above the net.

However, he did provide years of entertainment as he tried to coordinate his ridiculously gangly self into successfully running up and down the court.

I guess nobody cares about Shawn Bradley being a Mormon in the blogosphere. They must have considered that detail to be a blogtastrophe and blog-oring. Lee gets so drunk.
