So I'm in town for a couple of weeks, grandpa just passed away a month ago, we got things to take care of, and now I have a new 2006 Lincoln truck to drive back home, yada yada. Anyways, I was pretty excited because I get to go to the Hornets game on Saturday, just found out about the Pat Green concert after it and then we also have tickets to the Houston game on the 6th, five days before I go back home to Myrtle Beach.
But anyways, when I was here for my grandpa's cancer I was going to the Lifetime Fitness at The Rim and was seeing a personal trainer there a couple of times a week. Figured since my gym is small at home I'd take advantage of an opportunity to go to a nice one like that.
So here's the point to the story, you could've just skipped the stupid background part. :lol So I'm at the Lifetime today because I just got in town, me and my personal trainer are warming up, and all of a sudden he's like "Hey man check it out, there's Michael Finley." So I turned around and sure enough he was working out as well.
One thing I noticed, he's not as tall as I expected him to be. I'm right around the 6'4 mark and he didn't tower over me, if anything he seemed to be around 6'6, when I always thought him to be around the 6'7-6'8 mark. He might be 6'7 though and I'm just misjudging it. He was definitely a tall dude and he looked to be thin, athletic, and in just good shape. The rumor between all the personal trainers who were just as starstruck as me was that he's looking for a team right now, no surprise. What did interest me was my trainer said he's seen him in there doing a lot of Yoga lately, now maybe ya'll know more than me and that's something he's done throughout his whole career? Or maybe it's something he's just started to get him back in shape, a la Bruce Bowen.
Anyways, I doubt he'll ever get another chance to play with Spurs unless he really has worked on his athleticism a lot and has started to speed back up, but I thought it was a pretty cool story and I was pretty starstruck. :flag: Any other cool Spurs stories?
