to pull of something like this:
That's one of the better college dunks you'll ever see. It certainly stirred
something in Drew Neitzel. The way he congratulated ...

Congrats to Patrick Ewing!!!
mvn.com 4/7/2008 — I was a little concerned leading up to this because he never won a title so some people forget how GREAT Patrick Ewing really was (even if he played a guy named Michael every year and Starks was fouled at the end of game 6!!!!). Thankfully the voters aren’t as stupid as everyone who thinks Ewing isn’t a Hall of Famer.

From the "that's obvious" department: Hakeem Olajuwon elected to Basketball HOF —
The Dream Shake
Hakeem is a Hall-of-Famer. Officially . This is not exactly "news" or "surprising" or even the slightest bit informative. We've known Hakeem was a Hall of Fame basketball player since 1994. (Okay, *I* knew before that, but the world couldn't debate me after 1994.) Why 1994? Because Olajuwon destroyed some chump named Patrick Ewing. While Ewing's coach sat idly by and did next to nothing except ...

I’m sure Michael Grange thinks highly of Hakeem Olajuwon but unless you have a probing sense of humor you wouldn’t know it by reading the first sentence of his latest entry . Hakeem was sent to the Hall of Fame and I’m positive that the game winner he hit against Atlanta (you know what I’m talking about) had little bearing on the voters. Truth be told, he had very ...

We all remember the incredible, marvelous season Patrick Ewing spent in Seattle, don't we? Of course not. But Ewing has become the second former Sonic player to be inducted in the Hall . In addition, two (or three, depending on how one looks at it) former Sonic coaches are also in the Hall of Fame. It's bizarre, in a way, that a franchise with 40 years of history has such little ...
