The hands, the body, the legend, that is Kwame Brown signs with Detroit

I think the title almost says it all, but if you want some gory detail, Brown reportedly signed a deal, according to his agent, for 2 years and 9 million. If Brown keeps at it he may end up becoming a servicable player if he wants to stay in the League. Given how poorly he lived up to the "First Overall" hype, that Michael Jordan seemingly gets no blame for, like Joe Smith and Dave Twardzik for instance, he manages to stay in the league. I think it's proof, if nothing else, that big bodies with talent will always be coveted because they are so rare.

He is still athletic, he is still big

And in the NBA, that’s worth at least three mill. He plays defense, so that means he’s worth an extra mil and a half. If Detroit gets anything more, it would be a shrewd deal.

And if not what have they lost?

Yeah that’s what I think too. Kwame didn’t select himself first overall. MJ did.

well, he sorta did

Didn’t he walk up to MJ and say “if you want to win, pick me”? Pithy on MJ for liking that he did that, but I heard that was a big reason why MJ took him – he liked his aggresive attitude.

Apparently

MJ also screamed at him and it bothered him. I heard about that during Kwame’s rookie season. Basically MJ screamed and berated him about how much he sucked thinking it would motivate him, and all it did was scare the living shit outta Kwame.

So in essence, what you heard may be true, but I think Kwame is living with the story I just brought up.

Apparently

MJ questioned Kwame’s sexuality in front of the whole team. If you though that was a big deal in 8th grade, it’s 500 times worse in pro sports.

Yeah that ain't cool

MJ is a true blue dick in all reality. The guy is not somebody I would want to be my friend.
