I read it and enjoyed a great deal. He was an U21 star and a possible NT player so it is sad that at age 25 he is retired. Even more odd that just a month ago someone paid $3,000,000 for him and now no-one would pay $1,000,000. here have been a couple of other Aussie legends go the same way recently as prices for players have come down so much that the $1,000,000 free agents rarely seem to attract a buyer.

Dee Bana (4725967) is another legend recently retired.

I saw Donald Gatt and just scrolled right past him. I wouldn't even spend half a mil on him if he had proficient gameshape let alone one full million... and he was on awful gameshape which made it worst.

Good read though, I enjoyed it. Hope you do a few write ups like this one. +1 ball for you.

Yes, that was we would always yell at the TV when Luke Longley would put up a little flipper from two feet and miss or get blocked instead of exploding towards the ring and slamming it down hard like Ewing or Kemp would.

"Luuuuuuuuuuuuke, why didn't you dunk it? You should have dunked!"

One crucial difference here. Ewing and Kemp were black.

Then how do you explain Chase Budinger and his 38 1/2" vertical? Air Bud as he is known can really fly.

He's a ranga so all rules go out the window...They are like the 4 leaf clover of people.

This may also be true for rad_ranga
