I went down to the ymca on the westside of town tonight and gerald was there playing ball. I got into the game and played with him. He's freaking amazing. Discuss.

i'm extremely glad he didn't go to OSU.

i can not stress how amazing he was tonight. i guarded him a little bit, he was just unbelievable.

yeah mitch i have heard he is really awesome. i seen him play a couple of times on tv. he is supposed to go high in the nba draft next week. portland might pick, the lakers have been reported as trying to trade up to take him and charlotte is looking at him

i'm surprised there aren't some draft camps he'd be at right now. i've heard he's possibly a top five pick, probably a top ten. but still, this close i'd think he would be trying to improve his stock as much as he can, though maybe he's just between workouts or maybe all that stuff is already over. what's the competition like at the ymca you went to?

i posted these in the random sports thread a couple of weeks ago. hey mitch you didnt get dunk on tonight did you? :

that last one is sweet.

yeah that is my fav also

it's pretty stiff, one of the best places on the westside.

he was saying that he had already worked out for a few teams

is the west side of dallas ghetto too? all i know is dealey plaza is in the west side of downtown and it used to be a pretty rough area just west of that, but has that changed?

mitch if you had to compare him to one player in the nba. who would it be?

he's going to be a very rich young man in about three days. did he say who he thought he'd go to, or badmouth eddie sutton?

i don't know much about the westside of dallas

At our local YMCA, they drained the pool because the levels were way off and found then there was a thin pink layer of film on the tiles of the pool, and it turned out to be fat that had dissolved off of peoples bodies because the chemical levels were so high.

The moral of the story: never swim at the YMCA.

Then they told me I wouldn't get any more hours because I'm a student and not available enough even though I had worked ever Saturday and Sunday for the last 4 years and the odd Friday night shift.

The moral of the story: the YMCA can kiss my ass.

So the fat dissolved through people's skin? This sounds highly questionable.

ya, people just sat in the pool and lost their fat.

That guy in Nebraska that weighed like 1000 pounds last year should get a membership.

I think the best players I've competed against were probably Curtis Borchardt and Luke Ridnour...Borchardt is no Gerald Green, but Ridnour was freakin' dominant in high school.
