You must learn obey before you can command.

The last I heard CB, Charles Barkley is 6'6".
You must follow before you lead.

Funny anecdote at the beginning of McCoskey's game write-up:

What's interesting is the implication of being "soft" to begin with. Since they lost Ben Wallace, the impression has been Detroit has been Charmin. Maxey is changing that.

^^^^^^That was a person talking about Phoenix. they are not soft anyomore because they have Shaq now.

That's why it cracks me up when people talk about the new Pistons & Celtics rivalry before they even played a game against one another. DET v. BOS wasn't a rivalry in 1986. DET was a joke to them at that point. It might be safe to say it didn't become a rivalry until the series where Zeke threw the ball away. (Going way off the top of my head here, might be glossing over huge details.)

Now they just weigh more.

An Oscar to the Pistons for their performance in "No Country for Old Shaq"

AJ's Magnificent Block on Stoudemire



Sorry, when I cut and pasted the photo, it would not reproduce here; instead, the above web address appeared. But the photo can be found at that address, and is really outstanding.
