I don't know Marvin McIntyre, but I am going to go ahead and assume that he is influential in the A.
Damon knows that James is kinda like the GT basketball Godfather around Atlanta. CDS probably connects with these dudes slightly better than Josh..lol
Oh yeah, you can get away saying that. I say it and it’s inflammatory

Could it simply be that CDS actually played the game?Oh yeah, you can get away saying that. I say it and it’s inflammatory

That's just because you're mean.
Sorry for the snarky response. I read that folks don't like it when people don't keep it 100% business in threads.
As opposed to Pastner who won a national championship as a player?

Did CDS's son play for JF AAU team?

And was basically the trainer for some of those Arizona players when they wanted to get shots up?

Pastner was a member of that team. It's a bit of a stretch to say he won a championship. He averaged about 2 minutes per game.
You can’t arbitrarily decide what counts and what doesn’t. Remember?

I’m sure Pastner uses the ring and his personal stories in recruiting.
Likewise, Stoudamire gets an NBA championship ring if the Celtics win the NBA title this year, and I’d count that too

I agree with all of you to some extent. The point was the acceptance of CDS in the Atlanta basketball society seems very different than what Pastner experienced. That was my point. Nothing more.

For what it’s worth, Stoudamire’s story isn’t that he was a championship player, or even that he was in the NBA. The dude was the guy you played on the video game—he has star power

Well, it looks like the NBA will almost certainly be cancelling regular season games due to what's shaping up to be a nasty lockout...
