back then i always wanted this guy to play more
i cant really think of why. maybe i didnt like championships. seems like the kind of player you cant really pinpoint as having done one thing very well at the nba level.
amazing that he was a double first rounder, however. didnt realize it was that high in baseball

I like Scott but always felt he could have been better had he been better conditioned. He always looked flat out fat. I rember is cameo in Eddie the movie lol.

Classic Scott Burrell story.
After one of the Bulls' practices in 1997, Scott Burrell, Jordan's teammate, challenged Jordan to a game of one on one. They played and Burrell had a good chance to beat Jordan with the score tied at six a piece (going up to seven). Burrell had the ball, but Ron Harper who was watching the game on the sidelines called Burrell for traveling. Jordan got the ball back and without hesitation drove past Burrell and dunked the ball making it a 7-6 victory. Michael got the last shot to win, but Burrell was right up in MJ's face trash talking. MJ didn't say a word and just walked off the court. A few days later Burrell convinced MJ to play again, but Jordan won easily this time. Again, Jordan just walked off the court without saying a word. But Burrell couldn't keep his mouth shut. Burrell said to MJ, "C'mon, let's go back out there and finish this!" Jordan replied, "You just want to play so you can go tell your kids when they grow up that you beat Michael Jordan once. What am I gonna tell my kids? I beat Scott Burrell? Big deal. They'll slap the hell out of me."

Wait...we broke into your original programming schedule to bring you this update. A seldom used NBA player is an assistant coach for a college team you've never heard of. That is all.
What a shocker.

Awww...that's almost too easy. I can tell you without even looking it up that he's still active in the Aussie league and you will likely get a chence to see him play in the Olympics.
Nonetheless, I will do an Official Update.
