Posted January 16, 200421 yr Hardwood Classics baby!!! We're gonna have the spirits of Dantley, Green, Griffith, and Eaton on our sides tonight. Get ready to be respectfully whomped.
January 16, 200421 yr Mark Eaton. Damn I remember him. He couldnt run. He couldnt shoot. He couldnt jump. He could block shots. He was what 7 4. He could get rebounds sometimes. And yet his number was retired for just being able to do what any man his size on the baketball floor should do. PS...I like those Jazz uniforms more than the ones now. PSS...I am glad they moved out of the Great Salt Palace.
January 16, 200421 yr Too bad my main man Ben Handlogten is out for the season. I've been looking foward to see him on TV for quite some time now. It sure is amazing that in one month on one message board, two different people (me and you) can put Big Ben on their avatar. He is the man!

He still does the pregame shows for the local channel. And, yeah, everyone, even in Utah, hates the new uniforms. The old ones were great. Handlogten is one of the fiercest warriors I've ever seen on the court. 9 rebounds on a torn ACL. He should be back next year.
January 16, 200421 yr Yeah he scored a basket immediatley after tearing an ACL. I was looking forward to seeing my boy in the Rookie/Sophomore game!
January 16, 200421 yr Author Heh, I was at that game. He rocketed out of bounds to grab an offensive board but slipped and landed awkwardly on his knee, and he collapsed onto the floor. Then, as play resumed on the other end, after like eight seconds he slowly got up and started walking towards the Jazz bench. But Lopez stole it and saw Big Ben all by his lonesome at the other end and connected. The next game he sat out. But the game after that, he grabbed NINE BOARDS. Then a day after that they told him his season was over. He'll be back, though. Sloan really liked him.
