EDIT: Also I don't know if the 10th is good for me or not, I won't know until friday the 8th if I am not playing a tourney or not that weekend. I will do everything in my power to make this one, if to only sit and drink some of sweets adult beverages. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Watch your words, One Blue, or you won't get your allowance, much less make the Mavs-Jazz game in Mexico.

Murphy3 · 07-14-2003, 09:55 PM

6'2, played everywhere from point to the 3 spot..as a freshman/sophomore, alternated from down low to the point..depending upon the need of the team

can't really shoot as well as i used to..but can get to the basket better..better finisher around the goal than I have ever been (that's what years of being single can do for you)... good rebounder..

Murphy3 · 07-14-2003, 10:32 PM

and please..don't be perverted

southern_sweets · 07-14-2003, 10:36 PM

Expect several more years of Murph being better finishing around the goal, the basketball goal. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

OutletPass · 07-14-2003, 10:51 PM

Ok...the pictures are up and captioned...

I'll keep a list of everyone who wants to play...but do try to PM me before the game to actually, really, authentically, genuinely RSVP...i'll set up a list and we'll go from there in picking teams.

Sorry but no pics of me or Mffl...we were "hosting" and photgraphing at the time...readying ourselves for the 4 on 4 and the Mexican food that followed.

I hope that, by reading the players posts, that you know we all had a HELL of a lot of fun. All, save Rhylan (wedding excuse) will be playing plus many, many more.

Mad, stay away from Hooters next time will ya...that's understandable but not acceptable !

Evilmav2 · 07-15-2003, 12:17 AM

Man... I need to hit the gym...

Rod1975 · 07-15-2003, 03:28 AM

Count me in for the 10th
6'2 205 I've been described as 'versatile'

Big Boy Laroux · 07-15-2003, 10:14 AM

man, if there were ever a time i wished i lived in dallas, now is it. that really looked like fun. lots of quick players! how old is Sock?

anyway, so i can be the future #1 pick if i can come down some day...

6'8"
255 lbs.
range out to 3-pt. land. not much hang time at all, but can throw it down and block shots. good rebounder, on both the offensive and defensive side. possesses a myriad of post moves. well, maybe not a myriad. maybe a plethora. not the best ball-handler, but I do ok for my size. can both run and lead the break.

negatives: although i have size, i sometimes fall too much in love with the perimeter. and i can be lazy with man-to-man d (a result of getting older and having less time to work out), although my help side d is pretty good.

geez, i just re-read that, and i sound like raef... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Chicago JK · 07-15-2003, 11:06 AM

Thanks for the pictures. Those are great. Where was OP? Was he on the bench in foul trouble? Looks like the Dallas-mavs team may be best when they go to the small ball lineup.

Big Boy Laroux · 07-15-2003, 11:09 AM

you know, mandy's post per day average probably took a big hit since she was away from the computer for so long. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

OutletPass · 07-15-2003, 11:25 AM

BBL...Sock just turned 14 on May 18...he's headed into 9th grade...but his coaches are going to start him on the JV "a" team at first...

JK...I was taking the photos...with one hand on the camera and the other on the cell phone. I played when we went to 4 on 4 full court. I'm definitely rusty...had to have a ligament transplant in my left thumb last October and was in a cast for 6 months....other than working Ryan out...this was my first game back on the court.

OutletPass · 07-15-2003, 12:06 PM

Evil does have some "Bad Bill" in him...now that you mention it....Good call.

but you'll have to ask him if I was bothered by him.

Evil = Good. And respects the thumb....we're buds...on and off the court.

As for the sock, yep he's passed me up... ABSOLUTELY no question about that...I just happen to be on the cusp of turning 53.

I love to play WITH him...because I know where he'll be...and where he likes the ball...makes my passing look VERY GOOD. but we still play 1 on 1 a lot in training...I think the Sock scares most everyone...if you'll look back in the posts...I think that MFFl said something about him "abusing" the high school guys that joined us.

I had my time in the sun, guys...it's his turn now !!!

Now if he can do the Ironman and the Boston Marathon in his 40's...I'll know it's genetic.

OP,
Off topic, do you do Marathons and triatalons? I have done one marathon and would like to do DC or NY next. I have also done a couple of international triathalons. I think the triathalons are a lot more fun to train for. BTW if you have done Boston and the Ironman, then that is some pretty sick stuff. Congrats.

I try to watch the Ironman telecast every year. Very motivational.

sturm und drang · 07-15-2003, 12:58 PM

Oooh, I want in too!

5'9"
120 lbs.
Haven't played since HS varsity... but wasn't even very good then.
In good shape, running-wise, but a little lacking in strength. Scrawny, perhaps?
A little bit like a girl version of Shawn Bradley, actually. Minus the dominating height. Which leaves me with... um...

OK, now that I'm thinking about it realistically, I'm going to get my ass kicked.

I suggest a nce, civilized, contact-free game of HORSE to complement the rough-and-tumble game. Please?

OutletPass · 07-15-2003, 12:59 PM

JK...I don't do them anymore...I was hit by a truck during a bike race...had to have 4 operations.

But yes, I did them into my 40's ...i've done 5 Ironmans (1 in Hawaii, 3 in Canada, and one in Europe); about 40 half ironmans...and more marathons than I can count (5 times at White Rock...the one in Boston...Chicago...some others) but I never had the right schedule to do DC or NYC, both of which I dearly wanted to do. JK...if you get the chance to do them...jump at it...you never know if the chance will come your way again...I'd still be doing them if I could.

I was doing triathlons when Lance came on the scene (before he went to the bike exclusively)...he was an ultra cocky...almost obnoxious 14 year old...who we all called "Junior" (with some affection and sarcasm mixed in)...Lance was a real triathlon prodigy...we used to ride together out of the Richardson bike Mart...but that's a half truth...Lance would ride with the pack, on long training rides, for about 15-20 miles...talking to everyone...then ZOOOOOOMMMMMMM.....he'd take off and drop everyone in a flash.

So, if you see my posts about him in the tour de france thread....just know that I've got an extra special rooting interest that goes back many years.

GO JUNIOR !!!! Ride for 5 !!!!!

Ok...back on topic....

Ummmmm Ok · 07-15-2003, 11:34 AM

OutletPass · 07-15-2003, 11:54 AM

Nah, UMMMMMM...Mandy, the Sock and I played together with a friend from Coppell in the 4 on 4....

BTW...WHO in the HELL do you think has trained and coached the little shiznik....?????

ANOTHER BTW....he's in camp again this week...and absolutely tore them up yesterday...Coppell HS had a more than decent 7 footer this year on their varsity (who's hanging around watching the 14 year olds)....he approached Ryan yesterday and said "Who the hell are you ??" --- long story short...they've arranged to play together at the Y over the coming weekend.

I'm betting that he comes away with the Camp MVP again this week...I'll keep ya posted.

Oh I knew you trained him, but it looks like the student has overtaken the teacher in skillz, and maybe you was afraid for him to school you. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

mavs_afroman · 07-15-2003, 01:15 PM

Hey, what happened. I got there at 2:30 and everyone was gone. Of course there were still other to play with but not a Dallas-mavs soul in sight. Can nobody go for more than 2 hours?

Ummmmm Ok · 07-15-2003, 01:16 PM

thats fine outlet, as long as my team can be called the BREW CREW and every time down the court we get to stop to drink a nice cold beverage. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

madape · 07-15-2003, 01:30 PM

I'd like to go ahead and commit.

Here's the scouting report on the ape:

6'1" 205
Position: Forward

Experience: Started for his fraternity and his MBA class in college intramural tournaments.

Game: Not a whole lot of athletic ability or skill. Poor ball handler. Very poor shooter. A handful of awkward interior scoring moves. Fearless in the key and aggressive on the glass. Enjoys physical contact. Plays with a lot of energy but becomes winded quickly. Needs to lose about 25 pounds to compete at this level. Once was an average player. Now very below average. Appears to prefer women and beer over athletic activity.

Sounds JUST LIK ME, except I was never an average player, and I can only shoot for being a below average. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The Brew Crew selects Madape. Report to the beer tent.

u2sarajevo · 07-15-2003, 01:47 PM

I'm in iff'in the date changes to another weekend.

5'10 1/2" (yes, I am claiming the 1/2 inch because, you know, it sounds more impressive)
190

Game: Najera like heart. Only known to shoot particularly well when playing with MJ types, loves to get inspired by good game play. Overall not a good shooter. Tries to play D, but his wife often proves that he can't play a lick of D. Known to be distracted from game play if he smells beer on or near the court. Likes to rebound, if he could only get his hands on the dang ball.

Chicago JK · 07-15-2003, 02:06 PM

If I could ever get back to the metroplex, I would love to play[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

height- 5'10.5 (I am with u u2sarajevo)
Weight-180- trying to lose 10 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Present- haven't picked up a basketball in 2 years. Terribly slow and can't jump to save my life. No interest in defense. Will look good occasionally in the lay up line and will be glad to supply team with refreshments.

Past- '92 All area in HS. Boy that seems and feels like a long time ago. Your basic washed up HS basketball player.

Perfect for Nellie though: Short, absolutely no interest in D and if I get the ball it is going up. A match made in heaven.

Ummmmm Ok · 07-15-2003, 03:30 PM

OutletPass · 07-15-2003, 03:33 PM

totally cool UMMMM....that's them.

Two other great books "Iron Will" and "the Road to Kona never ends".

Both still in my bedroom bookshelf !!

signoftimes · 07-15-2003, 03:42 PM

I thought only crazy people ran the Iron Man. just kidding OP

- I'm actually VERY impressed. My girlfriend started runnig tri's for team in training last year and I thought that was impressive until I started meeting people training for the IronMan.

u2sarajevo · 07-16-2003, 01:39 PM

I'll take an elbow from Evil.... can I wear pads?

OutletPass · 07-16-2003, 03:40 PM

Looks like there's going to be so many on the "Brew Crew" that they'll need two teams....can I suggest that Team "A" be made up off the severely hungover" and that Team "B" be made up of the "currently drunk" ?

i've never been hungover <fingers crossed, knock on wood> (even though by all standards, i deserved to be hung over like Victoria Falls) so i am on Team B by default..

but i don't ever want to be so "currently drunk" again that i can't remember most of the events that transpired... can't afford to run that kind of risk (what could that do to prospects of a political career [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])... not to mention i'd like to avoid making an unbelievable dork of myself!

good idea. I'll play both sides.

Ummmmm Ok · 07-16-2003, 03:50 PM

yea right......like they will ever be hungover......better think again.

Team A: DUFF BEER
Team B: STRANGE BREW
