Yeah, I remember the dunk contest.

He became pretty popular after that, but he never did all that much in any actual game. Hopefully, he’ll be a good role player for the Clips. We definitely need some depth, and a 7.5 career ppg scorer sounds good on paper, but you never know what’ll happen when the Clipper jersey goes on.

Good signing

He’s a proven rotation player in the NBA. We needed some offense off the bench and he is able to provide that.

I actually met him waiting in line to go to Body English (the Club at the Hard Rock in Vegas). Nice guy, didn’t even have a entourage as he was alone. Dwyane Wade showed up later with a much larger entourage.

BTW, anyone know how the VIP cards NBA, MLB, and NFL players flash to get into places work?
