Rockets Coach Adelman and Olajuwon? Wells and V-Span are exciting.
Former Kings coach is head coach? Hakeem is the asst coach?
Adelman is the former coach of Bonzi?

that would be a nice senario, but Hakeem isn't going to be an assistant coach. He is past basketball and working with his Islamic duties...

BS started his BS posting career here in the same year when Yao made the NBA and right now Yao is fluent in English but BS still writes his "creative" English, why is that?

Didn't Hakeem say he was willing to help train Yao during the summer?

Re: Rockets Coach Adelman and Olajuwon? Wells and V-Span are exciting.
What the heck is "V-Span." I seriously hate these kind of nicknames, such as "T-Mac" They are pretty uncreative. Nicknames that just shorten the person's name are not creative, nicknames that have not been done to death and are not just shortened versions of the player's name are much better such as Clyde "the Glide" or Hakeem "the Dream" those rhyme and make more sense.

t-mac and v-span have good reasons for shortening their names though. tmac has a girl's name and no one wants to v-span's full name

I believe one of the recent Chronicle articles inferred that Yao would seek Hakeem out this summer whether it is at Dream's Big Man Camp or visiting him somewhere for private training.

I'd just like to note that Tracy has a tattoo on his arm that says T-mac.
"I believe one of the recent Chronicle articles inferred that Yao would seek Hakeem out this summer whether it is at Dream's Big Man Camp or visiting him somewhere for private training."
I tire of articles inferring things, like inferring that Van Gundy cares about winning when Bonzi Wells wasn't even on our playoff roster.
