Wow. What are you smoking?

So Tony Massenburg, 1 ring > KG, ringless??

massoman=rasho 1 ring >KG, let the truth be told

Well, everytime I say something good about him, you try and find a way to say he sucks.

Someone has to counter your extreme homerism towards Wisconsin players

I lived in Madison, WI for five years during the time he was there and he was a special player at that level = very athletic, and a good defender.
I would not be surprised, but Terry is also a pretty good PG.

Dude my extreme homerism fits right in with everyone here and their extreme homerism toward Spurs players. I just happen to love the Spurs as well as love the Badgers.




And, even though I am a Badger Homer, I do believe that Harris has all the skills and potential to be a really good player in this league.

see the in my post?

That means I'm playin. It's all good, as I said I think he can be a solid player, a poor starter or an ok bench guy, but I don't think he'll ever warrant a no5 pick.

I actually sort of enjoy reading Dre's various pro-Wisconsin threads in the same way that I like reading about players from Europe. After all, I think that the only two Badgers in the NBA are Fin and Harris unless that Kiwi kid made a roster.

As I said i don't mind i, its a different spin on the Spurs homerism where used too.

I know you were playin, I was also (even though its true ). I also think he was takin a lil high. I was shocked when I found out he was 5. But I also was pissed that he didnt stay for his senior year. We could have done some serious damage. We almost beat UNC in the elite eight with Alando Tucker. I cant Imagine what we could have done with Harris AND Tucker. But Oh well, he made his choice (one that I would have probably made as well) and now I want to see him suceced (sp?) in the NBA.


Why did he have to go to Dallas?!?!?!?! Thats the only thing I dont like.

As of right now, Fin and Harris are the only Bagers in the league. Caron Butler is from Wisconsin, but played college out of state, so that doesnt count. There have been a few Badgers in the league, but none of them made it like Finley did. Paul Grant was drafted by Minn, but never developed. Mike Wilkinson was on Utah's Summer league team, but didnt make a roster spot.

Wisconsin is not like the other Big States (ie. Cali). We dont have too many players that make it in the NBA. We are a football state first. Basketball is secondary.

To my knowledge Harris and Butler are the only Wisconsin born and raised players in the NBA. Although D. Wade and Michael Finley went to college in the State of Wisconsin (Fin at UW and Wade at Marq.), niether were born here. I think both were from Chicago.

Speakin of the Kiwi Kid, anyone know where Penney is playin right now? He could bomb those threes while at Wisconsin.

He was with Bogut and the Bucks and they became goof friends during training camp. I don't think he stuck though.
