Not sure if this team will be good at all, but at least its entertaining.

I can't believe that they didn't call me. Probably couldn't find my cell number.

Sterling Gibbs?  Was Martez Walker busy?

Yeah I don't know who Sterling Gibbs is.

All the other guys were prominent players and not good enough to play in the NBA. Makes sense for the most part.

I wonder if they invited J'Covan or if he's sticking with his squad from last year?

Need a guy like Deginald Erskin

He played at Texas one season, then transferred to Seton Hall, and then UConn I think. He actually ended up being a solid scorer towards the end of his career.

Knowing Dexter Pittman is still in good enough shape to play competitive basketball will be a nice extra kick to the balls when I look in the mirror and think about my fitness trajectory since college.

I mean he hasn't played for a legitimate club since 2016. I doubt he's in great shape.

dexter pittman vs unc in 2009 was awesome. a man amongst men that day. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

we had the best team in america at that time, as proven by our win two days later against Sparty. and then as you'll all recall they canceled the rest of the season and no more games were played.

Clowning UNC in hoops. A Texas tradition so strong, not even Shaka could fuck it up (3-0 vs #3, #7, #14) .

i loved the way roy williams would always insist on playing his own style, aka making it a track meet with his large athletes, aka playing right into the hands of coaches who themselves recruit large athletes and who happen to struggle with half court offense. instead of forcing us to score in the half court, he lets us run with our athletes, and ends up making kerwin roach look like prime russell westbrook:

Damien James was having a NPOY season and then just fell off.

Damn I used to think Kemaka Hepa was gonna be a bad ass. Where did he end up after Texas?

[HookEm 2463]

Hepa wound up at Hawaii. Last year he averaged 11.5 pts, 6.6 reb, 2.0 3s with pretty solid efficiency.  He is now out of eligibility.

Open to any feedback for our Tbt team!!!!
