I believe this is true about Jabbar also. How many other teams have really
considered him ?  Wasn't he coaching high school or some small college a
year or two ago ? Being a great player dos not mean you can coach, just as
being successful in college means you can at the pro level.. Although some
players get opportunities while other don't.   I have to disagree on Elgin
Baylor. He is the worst GM in pro sports and pretty much clueless, and would
have been canned with any other team years ago.  He's like keeping ML on for
10-15 years. You can't blame Sterling for his horrendous draft record, and
year after year of top 5 picks. It is not like they have not had some
talent. The Ferry , Benjamin & Olowokandi picks have not helped the
franchise. If he were in Boston the press would have eaten him alive.

Yeah lets add DJ bring back Minor and add a few other wife beaters !

Didn't the Clips also just hire Mr. Jabbar as a coach?  Was this the only
place he could get a job?  Certainly Baylor is no chump he just works for
one (see this weeks SI, before you criticize that comment). DJ has the
ability, to cut him down because he works for the Clips and because WWR
feels like you do, doesn't make your comment worth a hoot.

Bring on the Celtic pride and let the list losers slide.
