Kwame Brown

OK. It has been two months since my last post. This is what happens when you lose a sponsor and need to find a new one. We have a potential deal with a new sponsor and I hope to announce that in my write-up on the MD win over Duke on Wednesday.

This is a quote that was posted on cbssportsline regarding Kwame Brown's recent play for the Charlotte Hornets. Yes. I know Kwame has no ties to the Terps. However, there is local relevancy as MJ threw away the Bullets' first overall pick on him in 2001. Gasol went #3. Zach Randolph went #19. Overall, it was a very weak draft year and the trend started with the first selection. Here is the quote from Paul Silas after Brown had a 13 and 18 game last week:

"He's getting better, I tell you," Bobcats interim coach Paul Silas said Monday. "He's shooting that little jump shot. He can make layups now. Free-throw shooting, he's getting a lot better."

The use of the word "now" makes that one of my favorite quotes in a long time. I am not sure that sentence has ever been used in reference to an NBA player. Or, college player. Perhaps, even high school.
