Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement on Wednesday, because nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky, and all we are is dust in the wind, and even the realest stars among us must fade away eventually. 'Sheed is headed to basketball heaven now, and if that doesn't necessarily include a trip to Springfield, Massachusetts, it will definitely involve a life of surprise cameos at the Raleigh Pro-Am and a lot of chilling in sweatsuits and talking shit.
Rasheed Wallace will stay retired........ Until he signs next year for one last playoff run with the 5th seed Detroit Pistons!
Andre Drummond pranks Kim English. Hilarious for its creepiness.
Yeah, he got off beat a little bit towards the end, but he did damn well.
This is all Swedish (sorry) of highjumper Patrik Sjöberg visiting Jonas in Detroit. You get to see his house and the Palace. It's taped in the summer of '12 but was just aired here.
I would figure that even on a rookie scale contract, he could afford to hire someone to do his shopping for him. (beat you to posting this, PS!)
Vince Ellis at the FREEP reports that Greg Monroe has Larry Frank's back as the team heads into the post off season.
Just playing nice to the media or a genuine Frank supporter? Does it matter?
There are now 18, 000 people with US$100 million or more in disposable assets in Southeast Asia, China and Japan, according to Knight Frank’s estimates – more than North America, which has 17, 000, and Western Europe with 14, 000. Still, these ultra-high net worth individuals are not completely confident that their large masses of wealth will be completely unaffected by turbulence in the world economy and changing political situations, according to surveys conducted by Knight Frank. In Singapore, the wealthy are most afraid of the impact of the global financial crisis on their wealth, but those in Hong Kong are more worried about the devaluation of currency and those in India are most worried about domestic inflation. With its high density of Louis Vuitton boutiques, luxury nightclubs and multi-million dollar property, Singapore is also growing in importance as a city for the world’s high net worth individuals. Surveys asking über-wealthy individuals to rank cities in terms of "economic activity, political power, quality of life, knowledge and influence" found that Singapore was the fifth most important city for the world’s wealthiest individuals. Here, the city-state was beaten by London, New York, Hong Kong and Paris, indicating that the world’s most global cities continue to lure the rich. According to Knight Frank, even respondents in Asia-Pacific put London and New York ahead of Hong Kong and Singapore – an indication that economic growth may not be the most important factor when a high-net worth individual chooses his city of residence.
