[GooberNuts]

No where.

Can't customize on NBA.com due to "no current or past player's name can be used."

Actually, you can put any name on any team jersey on nbastore.com. It even has the drop down arrow where you can choose a player that is on the current team:

"SELECT A PLAYER: Use the menu below to select the name and number of your favorite professional player. Image will automatically display."

I was going to order a Mason jersey soon.

Wait, so you went from saying Gooden allowed Oberto to score, a lot, in the series to Gooden allowed him to go ape (7 points) in one game where all I can remember is he got an And1.

lol +1

If they are actually on the team!

From the video it sounds like hes a compe or that will leave it all out there. I love the signing. Lets hope his injury ( if there is one still) doesn't get worse.

Rewatch game 4 again and see who made the cluth points in that quarter other than Manu.

In the final minutes of game four Oberto scored twice, one of those being an AND1, but the problem with your assessment is... Gooden wasn't in the game during that time.

Gotta love archived game play by play.

T Park makes me laugh oh so much.


What number is Gooden wearing? RC should make him go back to 0 since they are both from Kansas.

[SpursFanFirst]

T Park? Eric B? T Park? Eric B?


I hope this Gooden fella works out.

[Buddy Holly]

So not only did Oberto not go ape during the series but he also didn't go "clutch" on Gooden.

90, and he sure looks bigger than i remember. the pics on spurs.com. He sure can't hurt.

Rewatch game 4 again and see who made the cluth points in that quarter other than Manu.

Here's the play by play of game 4: http://www.nba.com/games/20070614/SA...laybyplay.html

Oberto was 2-3 from the field and 1-1 from the free throw line. He played well, but it's not like he tore Cleveland up in the quarter. In the first three quarters of play he scored 2 points. Again, I like Oberto, but the fact that he hit 3 shots in the entire game and 2 in the 4th quarter does not equate to "scoring so well" in the finals. He was held below his already very low regular season average, as was Duncan. If Gooden is absolutely incapable of playing any defense whatsoever, this would probably not be the case. Oberto was still essentially a non-factor offensively in that series.

How could you miss the fact that Gooden was on the bench when Oberto went uber clutch on their asses?

Yet another fault with Gooden! He can't guard from the sidelines either! Damn him!

and 1, then another basket, multiple offensive rebounds.

Sorry to bring reality into your world.

Kind of paraphrasing, but in the video he says something like "no one can take away my compe iveness, my will to win, and thats what I hope to bring to this team. Im tired of being a casualty of the business and Im ready to make a home someplace in a team and Im going to attempt that here. Im looking beyond just this year to stick with the Spurs."

I hope he holds true to his word and works his ass off. I still have some skeptisism about his rotation defense, but now that he is on board, he's got my full support. I hope he proves himself to the league, to the Spurs and to us fans. Welcome aboard Drew.

[GooberNuts]

I'll be even more excited once we get Manu back. The Gooden signing is great but we'll really have no chance if Manu is not 100%.
