Re: all-time teams

["Simon Kean" <simon@jkean.freeserve.co.uk>]

the Xman! Now there's one tough fella. Aside from Anthony Mason (who X
taught), I can't think of one player in the league as nasty on D and
downright tough at the moment even close to like X was. That kinda player is
exactly what we need right now.......along with a Center, Point Guard and a
6th man who can generate some consistent offence.

Cheers

Simon
