Oh, come on.

1. Don’t give Ringo to Greg. That’s not fair.(at least not yet) LaMarcus has a little Ringo in him, talented, but way to passive about the whole thing.

2. Rudy seems the most like George Harrison to me. I don’t know why.

3. Kobe Bryant doesn’t even deserve Mick Jagger. At the most he would be Steven Tyler.

4. Clyde Drexler could be Lou Reed. Insanely talented, but overlooked because he played in Michael Jordan’s shadow. MJ could actually be Mick Jagger. Sort of a jerk, but people still love him.

5. Darius Miles and Zack Randolph?

I gave Clyde Elvis because he is the one who came before.

I could have been more complimentary to Walton and Steve Jones, I suppose . . .

3.

I gave Jagger to Kobe because he’s the front man of the competition.

I couldn’t come up with a Keith Richards on the Lakers though – what do you think? – Elgin

1.

Greg got Ringo because of their sense of humor – and because both play the same way, solid but not spectacular.

We all expect Greg to blossom into a Buddy Rich or Billy Cobham or Virgil Donati, that might happen later on and it will be fun to watch as it happens or not. Our hopes remain high while we try to keep our expectations low. – Elgin.

Who is the Walrus?

I think the Egg Man is also the Walrus

So the question is Who is the Egg Man?

Maybe Shavlik is the Egg Man because his stat line looks like a bunch of goose eggs. He also seems to mutter strange things when he sits on the bench. Stuff like “Ko koo ka choo.”
