Re: walker's immaturity

[kevincyphers@juno.com (Kevin S Cyphers)]

This is an interesting article, but where did it come from?
I'm not doubting the validity of the article, but before I believe
anything I would like to know the source. Is it your opinion
AW's name won't be on the All-NBA ballot? For AW to be left
off the All-NBA ballot would be a great shame.  Walker may
be a bit immature on the court, but there are much older
players (i.e. Barkley, Rodman, even Jordan) who do just as
much complaining and nobody seems to notice anymore.
