Baby Noel Felix

[Kori Ellis]

Baby Noel Felix entered the world at 2:07am this morning. :spin

:elephant :elephant :elephant

[Kori Ellis]

And before someone asks, no he's not married.

[Oh, Gee!!]

so you gave birth this morning and now you're posting?

[Kori Ellis]

:lmao

I'm not the mother, freak.

[Solid D]

does the father know this? poor guy.

[ShoogarBear]

so you gave birth this morning and now you're posting?

Oh, Gee!! is smoking them out of the yard today.

[Kori Ellis]

He's my second best friend next to my husband. So I was just making the birth announcement.

Noel's team let him have time off to go be there when the baby was born. They gave him 10 days. Fortunately the baby was born this morning, so he'll only miss two games and be back with the team tomorrow.

[spurschick]

Congrats! Do we get to see pics?

[Kori Ellis]

Congrats! Do we get to see pics?

Yes. I should get them tomorrow and I'll post some.

[angel_luv]

Congrats to him and his girl friend. =)

[tlongII]

Who is Noel Felix?

[Kori Ellis]

My friend who is "almost" an NBA player. He plays in the CBA.

[Spurzilla]

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing those adorable baby pics.

[spurschick]

Congrats to him and his girl friend. =)

That would be his "babymomma"
:lol

[ChumpDumper]

Congratulations!

Stay sharp, 10-days are coming up!

He's second in the league (CBA) in blocks right now and playing great defense but he needs to improve his rebounding. Brandon Hunter steals them all. Did you know that you can watch some of the CBA games live on the net?

[ChumpDumper]

I knew they had live scores but never checked the site at the right time for a webcast. I'll have to check again.

I think it's just the Stampede homegames. I've watched them twice so far. It's like a home video camera with the radio broadcast. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

They have them archived -- pretty cool. About as good as one could expect.

Maybe this is how Josh Davis got scouted.

Noel says there's a lot of NBA scouts at games pretty regularly. The Bulls have been eyeing him a lot this season and giving his coaches feedback. They have some deal in the CBA that if an NBA team calls you up, the CBA team still holds your rights in case you get sent back down. Has it always been like that?

[ChumpDumper]

To my knowledge, yes -- it's always been that way since so many callups are temporary. I can't remember a player being cut by an NBA team and joining another CBA team.

Yeah I'm sure scouts are all over the place. I'm impressed at the talent level the CBA has been able to maintain in the light of some of the D-League changes. I guess since ithe D-league's not a true farm system, the CBA is still a good option.

[Kori Ellis]

I think the money is a little better at the high end in the CBA than it is in the DLeague. That might be a factor to some guys.

[ChumpDumper]

I was just thinking about that. Do they get room and board too? The Toros live in a pretty decent apartment complex here for free, but Fizer is the only guy who doesn't have a roommate.

The French might be interested to know Turiaf's first pro game is archived on the Stampede site.

[Kori Ellis]

They get room and board - but they stay at a hotel not apartments. They have no roommates at home, but they do have roommates on the road.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Congrats ! :elephant

[easjer]

Oh, wow!

Congrats, "Auntie" and certainly to the new parents as well!

He's on a plane on the way to the CBA All-Star game. But I'll talk to him tonight and tell him.

:wow :tu :spin

[Kori Ellis]

:)

He was an alternate (they don't like defenders on the A-S team for some reason :lol) but one of the guys left for Europe, so now he's on the team.

[angel_luv]

:)

they don't like defenders on the A-S team for some reason :lol


:lol

My friend and I were just discussing yesterday how learning from Pop's fundamental basketball has tainted us against the all star game.

It's so sloppy I can hardly stand to watch it.

Last night Noel had 39 points on 14-for-20 from the field and 11-for-11 from the line. That was his biggest scoring game of his life (other than junior high YMCA where he scored 60 :lol).

He also now leads the league (CBA) in blocks. Hopefully Seattle will give him a 10-day contract.

And before someone asks the relevance of this .. I'm just propping my friend.

[tlongII]

Shouldn't he be married?

[spurs=bling]

what a cute baby.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Did you get the baby a mini-spurs onesie?

[angel_luv]

Way to go Noel! :elephant

[ObiwanGinobili]

:tu Noel.
I hope he gets that 10-day!

[Das Texan]

i would still love to have noel find a way to get on this team.

[Kori Ellis]

i would still love to have noel find a way to get on this team.

Me too.

But at this point, he just needs to get into the league, play well and feed his baby.

[Kori Ellis]

I hope he gets that 10-day!

:elephant :elephant :elephant

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

With who, Kori?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not sure I should say til he signs but he is flying there now.

The obvious team.

[Peter]

Phoenix?

[Kori Ellis]

Phoenix?

No. :lol

And not the Spurs.

[Peter]

N.O./OKC?

[Kori Ellis]

No/okc?

It's one of the two teams he played for this summer.

I have it confirmed from a source that Kori indeed has no comment.

[spurschick]

Maybe longer than a 10-day and we get to meet him on April 11.

Yeah that would be awesome if he could stick all season.

They only have 11 players plus Danny Fortson who is out for the year. So he has a chance.

His first game is Friday against the Pistons :wow

[Slomo]

:) No comment.- No comments means yes!
- No it doesn't.
- Do you masturbate?
- No comments!
- See, it means yes!

Best to get it out of the way first. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Congrats to Noel! This is a great opportunity to get some real PT on a team that's willing to develop players.

[Horry For 3!]

Awesome! Good luck to him
