Hi Joe,
Wow, Larue Martin, Jeez, I forgot about him, he was a stiff. I was
thinking more in the Benoit Bejamin category. Sarcasm, Moi, never, just
elation he ain't our #1 pick.

the distinction of being a #1 pick. I just scratch my head in disbelief
that any team (even the fabled Clippers) could draft him as the #1 pick.
