Re: Zo is really that stupid?

Bentz,

I don't rate him as one of the best centers, although, at times, he can play
solid defense.  He's not even in the class of a Tom Boerwinkle either.  Do
you remember that great old Bulls team?  Norm Van Lier and Jerry Sloan at
the guards (one of the toughest defensive tandems in the history) with Bob
Love and Chet Walker at the forwards (one of the finest set of forwards)
alongside TB in the middle.

Zo is a prime example of today's spoiled brat athletes who still has that
streetball mentality and feels the game owes him something besides the
salary some of us wish we could pull down on a regular basis.  If Hunter
wanted to help the players, he would speak to them about how comments like
those attributed to Zo don't endear them to the public very much.  But at
this point, I don't think he cares about that.
