How did you know him? What did he do? |
His father was murdered right after he started University, holding a grudge 40 years later because he was a 'jackass' during that time is kinda weird. |
Kind of weird to judge people's interactions when you were not even there

this is such a telling stat... we got the best duo in the league even with Bron at 38 years old... he is such a smart player, picking his spots, knowing how to pace himself |

Do what exactly the second technical was (bleep) |
I agree it was trash but you gotta restrain yourself. |
Go back and take a look at what happened if somebody sticks a ball right in your face |
Come on man, address the whole action. Schro ran over and got in Green’s face so Green put the ball in Schro’s face to get him out of his. Refs gave both players a tech because both players were wrong. Unfortunately it was Schro’s second tech so he got tossed. That’s the truth about what happened. Still…faulk draymomd. |
They didn’t double technical only Schröder received a technical there
My issue is with the inconsistent ref green, literally got in vando’s face last game and vando walked away from it but there was no technical for green so you’re gonna turn around and you’re going to take the defender. They were using off of curry and tee him up that second time and get him out of the game come on. |

Green DID get a tech on that. |

Our guards finally came to play and we will need them to get to the next level
Brilliant game, Bron looked young again.
Congratulations to them for getting this far. |

| Austin's 6/10 shot was huge IMO. Before there was down energy heading into the half after another crappy end of quarter, but his shot lifted the energy right back up. |

I hate Kerr
But, I knew him in college and he was a jackass
and worse |
How did you know him? What did he do? |
I ran the sound system at McHale stadium and knew all the players. For example, Brian William (Bison Dele) was one of my best friends, and we dated 2 girls that were roommates.
anyways, this girl Pam I had previously dated who was a gymnast and a Pom girl, she asked me to go to a party with her. Kerr got way (and I do mean WAAAY) out of line with her. I'm 2" taller, 20lb heavier, and a blackbelt since I was 12. Kerr didn't like that encounter at all.
Nobody F'd with either Pam or me after that, though |
Definitely fits the description of my small encounter with him.
Kerr was really good friends with my Nike Traveling team coach back in my high school years.
Tyson Chandler was one of my teammates.
Trevor Ariza was supposed to join us but was deemed too young to be part of our group at the time.
Kerr was super high when he came to visit our practice one evening. Crazy thing is he wasn’t even trying to hide his weed scent LOL
Maybe he was messing with us at the time as he seen most of us where Lakers fans but he made it clear his dislike for the Lakers. Pretty much the same rants from what you’ll hear from any Lakers haters around the globe. We’re spoiled, all the greats force their way to the Lakers. We are cheaters. We’ve ruin basketball. All our championships is the best money can buy ext.
A cool thing he did was let most of us check out his 98’ Bulls championship ring! It was heavy and you can tell not your average piece of jewelry LOL
After the show and tell I fed him the rock as I watched him sink 30 threes in a row while wearing flip flops LOL
Complete shock for me as a teen watching a pro shoot the ball.
Can’t imagine how it would be with Steph |

Dillion Brooks poked the bear. He said LeBron was old and "I don't respect no one until they come and give me 40", Results; Bron gave him 40 twice, the Lakers sent the Grizzlies fishing and Memphis isn't going to resign him.
JaMychal Green poked the bear, called cap on LeBron James tweeting, #Lakers don't practice flopping. Bron dropped 30 on the Dubs and sent them fishing. JaMychal's future with the Warriors is tenuous.
I wonder if the Nuggets got the message?
To rephrase an old adage LET A SLEEPING BEAR LIE.

He'd traveled the world for a few years, and then bought an ocean going sailing catamaran.
BWill, his girlfriend Serena, and a professional yacht captain were in the south Pacific when BWill's brother joined them.
There's an involved story and several theories here, but the short answer is that apparently the brother killed the other 3 and dumped their bodies in the Pacific. No bodies were ever recovered, of course.
Later, the brother was draining BWill's bank accounts and buying gold bullion in Phoenix. They figured this out about the same time they found the boat (about 2 months after anyone had last heard from BWill, Serena, the captain). There were bullet holes in the boat, and the name had been changed.
The brother was found with ID that identified him as BWill. Law enforcement begin an investigation, and the brother gave a pretty fantastic tale of what happened...
But, no bodies were ever found and the police couldn't arrest him right away - although they had him dead to rights on theft..
Not long afterwards, the brother killed himself in TJ through a self-administered overdose of insulin.
He was the only surviving witness, so all they have is his obviously fabricated account of events, no bodies, and no hard evidence.

Thanks -- BWill was a great guy. He was also a musician, played 4-5 instruments, and was a great singer (his father was a member of a 50's band with a handful of hits). BWill used to casually entertain people by playing and singing in bars and at the student union - everyone was always amazed that he could do other things than just dunk a basketball.

I dont think anyone can hate on Kerr. |
I hate Kerr
But, I knew him in college and he was a jackass
and worse |
How did you know him? What did he do? |
I ran the sound system at McHale stadium and knew all the players. For example, Brian William (Bison Dele) was one of my best friends, and we dated 2 girls that were roommates.
anyways, this girl Pam I had previously dated who was a gymnast and a Pom girl, she asked me to go to a party with her. Kerr got way (and I do mean WAAAY) out of line with her. I'm 2" taller, 20lb heavier, and a blackbelt since I was 12. Kerr didn't like that encounter at all.
Nobody F'd with either Pam or me after that, though |
What ever happened to Brian Williams after he retired early? |
He'd traveled the world for a few years, and then bought an ocean going sailing catamaran.
BWill, his girlfriend Serena, and a professional yacht captain were in the south Pacific when BWill's brother joined them.
There's an involved story and several theories here, but the short answer is that apparently the brother killed the other 3 and dumped their bodies in the Pacific. No bodies were ever recovered, of course.
Later, the brother was draining BWill's bank accounts and buying gold bullion in Phoenix. They figured this out about the same time they found the boat (about 2 months after anyone had last heard from BWill, Serena, the captain). There were bullet holes in the boat, and the name had been changed.
The brother was found with ID that identified him as BWill. Law enforcement begin an investigation, and the brother gave a pretty fantastic tale of what happened...
But, no bodies were ever found and the police couldn't arrest him right away - although they had him dead to rights on theft..
Not long afterwards, the brother killed himself in TJ through a self-administered overdose of insulin.
He was the only surviving witness, so all they have is his obviously fabricated account of events, no bodies, and no hard evidence. |
Yeah that's what my "oh wow" was about thinking about how tragic his story ended. Sorry for your friend PK 😞 |
Thanks -- BWill was a great guy. He was also a musician, played 4-5 instruments, and was a great singer (his father was a member of a 50's band with a handful of hits). BWill used to casually entertain people by playing and singing in bars and at the student union - everyone was always amazed that he could do other things than just dunk a basketball. |
Thanks for sharing, P.K. I watched the documentary about Bison. Truly tragic. Wonder what really happened on that boat to cause those senseless deaths. We will never know. RIP Bison. |
Thx PK for sharing .. just saw the documentary & Brian was living a great life till his brother stepped in. RIP Brian W et. al. |
I had no idea there's a documentary, so thanks for telling me about it..
now I'll have to find a stream

Yeah I saw a documentary on TNT not too long ago part of that series "Rich and Shameless". I mean you know… It wasn't terrible at all actually. A little sensational list as the name "rich and shameless" would suggest but actually not a bad telling of the story and certainly did not make Brian look bad or tarnish his image in any way.
You can stream it off the TNT website. |
