Newell is famous for his camp as well as his hype. I've seen the same
comments attributed to Olowokandi in years prior. As we all know Kandi is
just barely coming along. A more telling story on Jake is his 7.4 point 5.6
average put up in that summer league the rocky mountain revue. If he was
really that good he shoulda dominated.
