Ray Gordon was a bit hard and very edgy. Apparently did more damage to teammates at training than he did to opposition in a game.

once saw troy pilon dunk, hang on the rim and kick a defender in the face whilst hanging. During a 90s state league game, when you could get away with that sort of caper!

anyone remember Alex Morganlowe from the 1993 Newcastle Falcons, smoked a pack a day and was frequently drunk at practice? Epitomy of the 90s basketball hard man.

There's an interesting profile on someone called Bonnie-Jill Laflin on SI.com.

She's a former cheerleader and model who's apparently the first female NBA scout, and is also an assistant GM with an NBDL team.

Snippets from her resume:

She cheered for both the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, owns a Super Bowl ring and multiple NBA championship rings, was hired as a female scout by an NBA team and become the assistant general manger of that team's developmental team.

In between all that, Laflin founded Double Play Sportswear, a women's clothing line, worked for ESPN, had reoccurring roles on Ally McBeal and Baywatch and did photo shoots for Playboy, Stuff and FHM.

Two questions: what sort of first name is Bonnie-Jill, and why, oh why won't my network administrator allow her personal site through the work firewall?
