Other than that, let bygones be bygones.

I'm embarrassed to say I had no idea that happened in '72. Looked it up on a few websites.

I guess I was a few years from even being a glimmer in my dad's eye, but still, you'd think I'd have heard of this sort of scandal...

That is funny. I remember playing GI Joe and Russians instead of Cowboys and Indians.

Hansen is a basketball failure, washed out of the NBA, and now accepts citizenship from Russia personally signed by Putin, one of Satan's top lieutenants.

Way to represent Travis.

but in a game of nuclear missiles would conventional forces have mattered all that much?

Making a difference in the lives of numerous orphans. Or does that not matter since they aren't oppressed FLDS children?

He is helping orphans? Good. Now I like him. But he is still basketball failure.

He's made 7 figures in his career. Sucks to be a failure, I guess.

You should challenge him to a game of one-on-one. Maybe you could take him.

ah, if only basketball success and glory was based on money....

He will be remembered as a wasted pick for a bad franchise.

Didn't Atlanta try to re-sign him?...but he opted out due to the more lucrative offer from the European leagues?
