Who am I?

November 22, 2008 by Paul Gotham 9 Comments

images53Too bad endorsement deals were not as rampant during my playing days as they are now. With one of my nicknames I could have easily represented Chips Ahoy pretty well. I was another one of those first guys to make the jump from high school to the NBA. All but four games of my 14-year career were played for three Eastern Conference teams. Five times I played for a team that advanced to the finals. Three of those teams loss to the Lakers. It wasn’t until my final season that I earned a ring. Too bad I was nothing more than a bench-warmer for that squad. I rank in the top ten for all-time field goal percentage. I also set a record for most fouls in a season.

    Guess I stayed up too late…waiting and waiting for the Who Am I 😉 …and wasn’t the early bird this morning.

    Wow, was I caught sleeping. Actually I never sleep, but I certainly did not watch for WAI until way too late. And I knew the answer this time. This new guy is STREAKING up the board; watch out Chas!

    He looks like he’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. I guarantee he’ll never catch me, though.

    Yeah. He’ll probably disappear right after overtaking me for second, but then there is always some OTHER sleeper out there.

    Maybe Greg Robinson can hook up with the Irish after finishing things with Syracuse…

    Pete- I’ll have some M & M’s ready to go on Monday for you- if you can make it in…

    Wow…
