    If it is a long time NBA player such as pippen you should ask him if he believes that the NBA should have a min. age limit to enter the draft which it was reported recently could come into affect in the near future.

    Not Pippin, but I'll ask that question. image So, now I have 3 of the 10 questions.
  • LAdude465LAdude465 Posts: 2,435
    Can you ask him what it will take to win the series against the lakers? plmk thanx
  • autobiliaautobilia Posts: 4,803


    << <i>Can you ask him what it will take to win the series against the lakers? plmk thanx >>



    Heh, got that as question #5:

    It seems that the biggest hurtle for Portland to win a championship is the Lakers. What do you think Portland needs to do to get over that hurtle and head toward the ultimate goal of a championship ring?
  • ColtColt Posts: 605
    If I knew who the player was i would be better prepared to submit a question.
  • LAdude465LAdude465 Posts: 2,435
    o i got another one image can you ask him what it will take out of him to contain the player he is guarding. Is he a starter? Who will he be guarding? plmk thanx
  • ilyailya Posts: 740
    guys you might want to realize that the questions might be answered after the playoffs, since i'm sure this person got more things to do right now then answer our questions

    so i'm not sure that asking about the la series is worth it, but i don't know though..

    p.s. i know who it is :-D

    hehehe you are the type of person I was avoiding. But the 10 questions have been submitted which are the following:

    1.) How tough was your transition from high school/junior college to the pros?

    2.) What is your most memorable matchup that comes to mind?

    3.) What are your thoughts about a minimum age limit to enter the draft and do you think its a good or bad thing?

    4.) In the last couple of years, which high school to pros player do you think has the most potential to become a dominant player in the NBA?

    5.) It seems that the biggest hurtle for Portland to win a championship is the Lakers. What do you think Portland needs to do to get over that hurtle and head toward the ultimate goal of a championship ring?

    6.) You've been criticized a lot after coming to Portland. But this year, especially in the 2nd half of the season, you have been one of the most important players on the team, and one of the reason Blazers got over the slow start. You had some great games when Rasheed Wallace went down. A lot of players let criticism affect their game. How were you able to cope with the criticism and stay focused on your game?

    7.) I know there is a time and place for everything, so for you, what is the best time and place for fans to obtain your autograph? Also, what is a bad time/place?

    8.) Who is the funniest person in the locker room? I know every team has to have that 1 "class clown". image

    9.) As a veteran, what advice would you give a rookie about the NBA?

    10.) Whenever you decide to put down the basketball, what do you have interest in doing after the NBA?

    Can you tell us who it is now? image

    I would ask Pippen if he feels good getting $18,000,000 a year while playing half-heartedly. Also I heard from a friend that he is real cheap. He had like a $200 dollar meal and tipped $2.00. That is a 1% tip. That is how he has gotten the name "No Tippin Pippen".

    It was Shawn Kemp image . I contacted them on March 25th and they responded today.
  • ColtColt Posts: 605
    You should ask him if he has kicked that nasty crack habbit he has.

    Also his eating habit. The only thing the former "Reign Man" will rain is sweat from bending over to put on his shoes.

    heh, now you see why I didn't say who it was until I got the 10 questions.

    auto, what kind of work do you do? are you in the journalism field?
  • uwftke26uwftke26 Posts: 3,002
    Don't waste your time with the age limit question, the NBA could never legislate that and anti-collusion laws would prevent teams from just getting together and refusing to draft them. It'd be a wasted question, beause most players don't even realize that. The answer is theonly way to stop/slow highs chool defections would be for a few to fail.

    If it's Ruben patterson, ask him why a reasonably good looking, athletic multi millionaire has to resort to raping his maid to get a piece.
  • uwftke26uwftke26 Posts: 3,002
    I AM in the journalism feild, and if you want to replace that worthless age limit question with one you can ask that will hard-hitting without insulting, ask Kemp if he has any regrets as to the way his career has evolved.
  • uwftke26uwftke26 Posts: 3,002
    autobilia, just wanted to add that I am very impressed you go this locked up, I know that team PR people can be bears so here's to you for your diligence. it's going to look awfully good on CE!
  • autobiliaautobilia Posts: 4,803


    << <i>auto, what kind of work do you do? are you in the journalism field? >>



    Not a journalist. I am in the music business and business works the same in every area. Just contacting sports athletes for interviews for CE. I'm good with tracking down information.

    You never know. They could keep players from entering the draft to even be drafted. The only drawback is that not all people are college material and won't go to college.

    I bypassed the team PR and went directly to Kemp's representative. She forwarded the message to Kemp. After he answered, she forwarded me his direct e-mail. So, it was quite simple. I made attempts to contact Kemp and Derek Anderson. No word on Derek Anderson as of yet.
