Everyone,

   Well, I have a bit of b-ball news to report.  This past weekend there was a
   charity basketball game sponsered by our local CBA franchise the Grand
   Rapids Hoops.  Becuase of the lockout no huge names showed up, but two people
   of interest to me and I think to this list did show up.  Keon Clark and
   Charles "Bo" Outlaw played in the game.

   I think I've read on this list in the past how people wanted to trade for
   Keon because he could be the defensive force that the C's are mising.
   Seeing this guy in person really makes me doubt that.  Keon walks around on
   two toothpicks for legs and I think he has a problem with his left knee 
   since he had quite the knee brace on it.  He was very athletic, but I think 
   will end up like Shawn Bradley, on the floor every time he gets bumped. 
   During the course of the game, he gaurded "Tractor" Traylor and was just
   destroyed underneath by the Tractor, even though Keon has at least 3
   possibly 3.5 inches on the Tractor.  In the end, I stick with DQ and Travis,
   at least they have some weight to push people around.

   On the other hand, Bo Outlaw was quite impressive.  I do realize that this
   was just a charity game, but Bo looked real good.  He can dribble well for a
   big man, get out on the break, and rebound like a madman.  He looked
   stronger than last year with the Magic.  He easily handled the Tractor and 
   a couple of other washed up NBA centers (mostly CBA products that have been
   the 13th man on someones bench).  I would love to have Bo on our team.
   I spoke to him a bit after the game and he said he was very happy in Orlando,
   I mentioned that I would love to see him in a Celtics uniform, and he said 
   thanks, signed my book and went onto the next person.

   Anyway, these are just some basketball realated things from this weekend.
   Talk to you all later.
