I mean I knew that Amir could ball... but i didn't know he could sing so good. After his basketball career he should for sure go into singing. I mean look at shaq, he's made a couple of songs. Keep on doing you think Amir. This shit is so funny. I mean I knew that Amir could ball… but i didn’t know he could sing so good. After his basketball career he should for sure go into singing.

Amir is more responsible at 20 than half the league. ESPN ranked the free agents this summer and had Amir ranked right behind Andray Blatche, who is 21. Andray and a friend got caught by an undercover cop trying to pay for sex after they were out clubbing, just days before he was supposed to sign the offer that was on the table from the Wiz. Relative to other players Amir is a choir boy. microwave,

And by the way, I've never been so excited to spend $159 on NBA League Pass as I have been in this off-season. To get a chance to see Amir, Maxiell, Afflalo, and Stuckey grow from nobodies into budding all-stars will be better than any of the most compelling TV shows by far. The fact that I still have to wait as long as I do to see this team in action is just plain depressing. I'll most likely be heading to both the Sonics game and the Trailblazers game when they come out to play on the West Coast on their first trip West of the season. CAN'T WAIT!

Very complimentary. I, of course, agree with the article, but I did note that it was written by Granderson... a native Detroiter. So, I don't know if his view is skewed or not. Of course his quotes from scouts and what not were pretty impressive statements. 12 teams contacted the Pistons about trading for Amir? I don't get why they just didn't throw a MLE at him. That would have been tough for Detroit to step up to. Anyways, thanks for the tip. It was a good read. btw, for anyone interested, its in the latest ESPN the magazine... probably still on store shelves. Jeff,
