Don't let it ruin your day buddy.
I was listening to the Jim Rome Show and a caller from Detroit called in stating that Jim having Sean Elliot on the show yesterday gave KARMA to the Pistons
He called Elliot a Sandbagger and didn't even try while he played there
Well here are some facts:
The year he was there is when his Kidney Problems Blew up, he talked about it after he retired how he didn't have any energy and started having major side effects from his kidney failure, he gained weight, he was very lethargic I remember he called a news conference because some people in Detroit thought he had AIDS.
Get your FACTS straight PISS-ton Fans
Spurs In 6
Don't let it ruin your day buddy.
Actually that's a good issue to bring up since we have a few Detroit folks in here. What was your take on that trade? And the subsequent drama after it? Was there a massive fan upheaval over the Worm leaving, like there was from Spurs fans when we found out Sean was going? And how did Bill Curley work out for you guys after all?
pretty awesome irony coming from piston fans.
i suppose everything is lighthearted after a win?
sean elliott is a local hero around these here parts. dude helped win a championship. and this is a spurs board, not a pistons gloat board. you know what i mean buddy?
I thought it was great. Hey 6 finals appearances in the last 18 years compared to the Spurs 3 in much longer than that. A 33% showing in an almost two decade period is impressive, don't you think?
Ouch, man. That's cold.
Relax 'bro'. I've got more posts here than you, don't go claiming this as your 'home turf'. I'd like to think I've been pretty consistant throughout the entire playoffs, and I've been here through the 2 losses. Not much gloating was going on during those times. Excuse the out of me for finding something funny.
i used to post on spurs boards probably before you knew boards existed. dont go by post counts "bro". this is home turf. lol
find whatever you want funny btw. just as long as you know right after he won that championship... like a week later or something... he needed his kidney taken out. the guy was just saying he thinks some piston fans are idiots if they dont keep that in mind.
Didn't the Spurs get Rodman in that deal? Rodman showed up and off during his tenure with the squad if I remember correctly.
Not trying to be a , but if I laugh at something, I'm not trying to hope that some dude dies. Do you cheer for Alonzo Mourning? He had health issues too, but I hate him on the court. A surgury does not make you off limits for laughing. I can promise you I wasn't sitting next to him on the cutting room table clanking two butter knifes together singing songs.
And somehow I doubt you were 'around' before I knew about messageboards. Do you remember the days of telnet being the 'big thing'? If so, we're running with the same horses here. No need to compare sizes.
you wanna buy a 1200 baud modem? settle down.
taco posted the fact that the piston fan who called in got his wrong. i dont think you were laughing at a guy getting his kidney replaced... that would be... tasteless. as for alonzo mourning, i never liked him before he had his kidney troubles, but had respect for him after for going through that... which was what sean was dealing with when he played in det... and in sa. (get a clue)
oh and i remember rodman fondly... the dresses... madonna... madonna undressing... rodman wearing better dresses than madonna. etc.
Yes.Didn't the Spurs get Rodman in that deal?
Elliott for Rodman rivals Brickowski for Pressy as worst trades the franchise has ever made.
Looks like somebody fell off their horse.
Telnet? WTF are you talking about? Yes, I do know what telnet is, but do you know what usenet is?
Sean Elliott conducted himself in a very classless manner in Detroit. He never gave a good effort, he slacked off on defense, he was happy to collect a paycheck and go home. He didn't have to love the team, but he owed it to the fans to PLAY. He didn't. He pouted like a baby.
He's a saint to you guys, but nobody in Detroit has a high opinion of him, and rightfully so.
i still blame rodman for killing our chances at a championship pre 99.
all the Sean Elliott haters.
Maybe if Detroit wasn't such a hole...
nevermind, the trolls arent worth ing with.
How is what you're doing any different?
did everyone know about his kidney problems back then and take that into account... or that he and management never got along (one guy in particular) or that bill laimbeer was the only guy who sean thought was on his side... and he retired after that year.
he was being blamed for everything. its funny too because piston fans are scared to blame players like sheed now... fearing they'll crack.
Elliot flat out dogged it in Detroit. Seems like he's a good guy and all, but expecting any love for him out of Detroit is too much. Part of the reason they dealt him off for scraps because his at ude was so poor.
I have heard that from a lot of Pistons fans. I didn't pay much attention to Elliott when he was in Detroit, but if that's the case, then that sucks. People call Vince Carter names for not trying because he wasn't happy in Toronto. I can see how Pistons fans could see Elliott the same way.Sean Elliott conducted himself in a very classless manner in Detroit.

Didn't read the first post?
No, he played 158 out of 164 games the next to years for the Spurs and averaged 18 and 20 points a game.
It is not.
TPark has no tolerance whatsoever.
He has anger isses...that is a fact....but he is OUR TPark so we all love him anyway.
FUnny, Sean's kidney problems didn't seem to hurt him in San Antonio for the next 3-4 years after he got sent back.... sorry, nobody buys that for a second. After seeing his production when he went back to the Spurs, he was clearly dogging it here.
And he wasn't being blamed for the losses, he was being blamed for being a sandbagging jerk. Pick a Pistons game from 1994, any game. Sean was always the one Piston on the floor that clearly didn't show any interest in playing.
