He and Anderson need to bulk up big time for this team to have any real shot of winning rebound battles next year.

These two guys will bring some excitement to the floor next year. :billypopcorn: (<---miss him already)

Bienvenido a Mee-ah-mee.

Post by: doom on March 27, 2008, 05:18:20 PM: Mercury sucks. Notcie how they left out why he really left (kicked off team.)

I've heard his name both ways, but he's Rican, so I lean toward Deni.

Post by: Skydog on March 27, 2008, 05:19:59 PM: Is it one of those things where his real name is pronounced Deni but he doesn't care when us ignorant white people call him Denis?

I didn't know he was that closely related to Roberto, the greatness is within him. I'm waving la bandera as I type.

Yes it is pronounced den-nee. When there is a word that ends with an s,(such as estás it will come off as está) Puerto Ricans don't really emphasize the s. I had Luis in a Spanish class last year and he would always leave off the s, much to the chagrin of the teacher.

Not Rican. Boricua.

I've heard Frank say "Dennis." He's adapted to Kansas quite nicely.
