whats with his facial hair? It's like he has a hitler stache only on his chin a chintler. chintlers list starring isaiah austin and the 10000 neon green baptists. band name isaiah austin and the 10000 neon green baptists I call it

I think that might be a floor burn from when he faceplanted against us. Or it might just be a chintler. :dunno:

All the white midwesterners had Oakleys like that when I was in high school
Yeah I had several. I should probably just go ahead and post this in the shame yourself thread.

A lot of cops wear those and shave their heads, but I haven't seen any of them shooting free throws indoors with them.  Don't know who the bigger dork(s) is (are).

I never had those ugly things, so you must've gone to high school before 1975, or sometime in the future after I'm dead.

Oakley Blades or M Frames were on huge display at my high school. 

They are also a staple of lake ppl.  The kind that cut tank tops out of old bar shirts and cut the sleeve holes with in 4"-5" of the bottom of the shirt and walk around with a yellow floaty thing on their car keys even though their boat key isn't on that key ring.

What a cruel genetic joke to be seven feet tall and then have a medical condition preventing you from playing basketball.  Best of luck to him

If Baylor doesn't honor his scholarship until he graduates, their heart must have an aortic dissection.

 :frown:

But... :love:

In February 2008, everything came crashing down. It was the last game of his middle school basketball career, and Austin had never dunked during layup lines. That's because there was a strict rule against it: two technical fouls, and you're out of the game. But working off of adrenaline, Austin took off, cuffed the ball back with his left hand and jammed it down.

The crowd went wild and a double tech ensued, but no one but Austin knew what he immediately saw out of his right eye: red. It was blood. The powerful nature of the uncontested dunk had detached his retina, which was the diagnosis the next morning when he went to the emergency room

That's pretty mumped up.  I guess that kinda explains why he chose Baylor.  He believes that God punishes.

I never saw him as a guy that would up to the grind of the NBA. Too soft to play down low. Not enough handles to play on the wing

I asked my doctor about marfan because of that thread and my doctor ordered testing after an initial screening. Clean bill of health tho :bracketmouse:

Is it expensive to test for marfan?  I though that was why they didn't do it with a bunch of athletes
