Yeah, Bruce Bowen was once...I think it was 2003? I can't think of anyone else since then. According to Timmy's bio, he's wone POW 17 times and Player of the Month 4 times in his career.

[Kori Ellis]

Actually Bowen won it just last season in the first week of January.

Aren't you the one who said would not post for a year if the Spurs won the championship and when they did, you were here posting the next day. When people point this fact out you basically brush them off by with a "F*ck You, I do as I please!"

Now I don't believe I can lower myself more than that, Tpark.

[T Park]

Aren't you the one who said would not post for a year if the Spurs won the championship and when they did, you were here posting the next day

Yeah I did.

Whats your point??

When people point this fact out you basically brush them off by with a "F*ck You, I do as I please

Oh pardon me.

I will do as I please, I do not need you all's approval. Thank you.

Now I don't believe I can lower myself more than that, Tpark

Oh yeah, me and Clinton are in the same boat, no question.

[smeagol]

If I'd done what you did, even in a www forum, I would be ashamed of myself.

Your credibility is half a notch above The Writer's

[Jimcs50]
