Babay is off-the-charts tall (>97th percentile) for his age, while his height-to-weight ratio is perfectly average (50th percentile.)

Looks like we're headed straight for the NBA.

He is white. Make sure he can hit 3's.

 

[Matty]

There's a half-court in our condo building, I'll have him try some 3's tonight.

Maybe from the college line to begin with.

Old basketball camp drill, have him drill 5 in a row up close, then take a stride 5 in a row from there, etc. etc. Works like a charm he'll be Larry Bird by age 4

 

[Mudcat]

Some resemblance to Charles Barkley too though.

We need a little Monday morning JL to help get us thru the week.

 

[plommer]

Hell yeah!

Moustache time!!!!

Has the NBA ever had a French Canadian player?

Has the NBA ever had a French Canadian player?

A handful of them, I believe. I don't know names but I know there were some.

 

[Matty]

And if you include the African-Canadians who grew up in Montreal, there's been a lot more.

My bro was at the Raptors's last preseason game in Montreal a couple days ago and he says he shook hands with Samuel Dalembert (Haitian-Canadian from Montreal)

 

[MrMonkey]

Matty, just sayin but the kid doesn't appear to have any black in him to go along with the French so NBA might not be his calling!

 

[MrMonkey]

Sammmmy D! The guy cashed in big time for one lousy (he was good) playoff series against the Pistons when with the Sixers and is wanted in Philly on theft charges! The new do he showed off for that series should have been the sign not to sign him!

Ron Crevier? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Crevier

I guess he had some black in him too.

 

[Matty]

Actually I can't find a single French Canadian with no black in him.

Fok.

Babay is auditioning for Arcade Fire

Just kidding, he hates them filthy hipsters

 

[reno cool]

stylish

 

[IAG]

Sweet. That's crazy. I had never heard of Arcade Fire before but I just happened up on them doing a cover of California Uber Alles the other day (which sent me down a whole crazy high school memory lane )


Was having a mini anxiety attack out of the blue. A little JL is just what I needed.
