Love it! ESPN posters have heard this story, but I was in Redondo Beach for work during the Syracuse-Kansas NCAA Final (Carmelo Anthony's team). I was in Sharky's with some friends, and the only table was in the raised area. Well, about 15 minutes before the game, the manager tells us that it's reserved for a Laker party. We're walking down the steps, BShaw is walking up, and I told him I loved what he did when he was a Blazer. We didn't have a place to sit in the bar, and then a few minutes later, security came up to my group and me and said "Mr. Shaw would like you to join his group". Devean George and Jannaro Pargo were also there, and by the end of the night, we were kicking back tequila shots until 1am, and I got some great stories from BShaw about 'Sheed and some others that helped changed my view of Wallace, Patterson, and a few others (I went from apologizing for them to being sick of them). Anyhow, a great night, and the funny thing was that BShaw went out the next night and put up right around 20 points, his season high, on whoever they played. My buddies and I were so hungover we could barely move, yet he goes and puts up 20 off of the bench in an NBA game.
He'd be cheap for Portland, he's a hard worker, and I obviously have a favorable bias toward him.
He gets my stamp of approval.
