What does Sean Marks do for a living?

[mook]

The answer FOR DAMN SURE isn't "play basketball."

 

[bodyman5001]

I think he is paid to keep the officials attention. Not many players can or will travel just by holding the ball over their own head.

His baseline jumper is money.

 

[Nikolokolus]

His baseline jumper is money.

Yeah, but is a wooden nickel really money?

Yes: $1,256,733

 

[hasoos]

His double travel at the 3 point line move is completely awesome!

 

[Elvin Jones]

I was impressed at how he grabbed a board, held the ball out to AJ just awkwardly enough for the Grizzlies to steal, then look super-confused as someone came down the lane and, instead of getting in position, made a perfunctory swat at the opponent's hand as he sailed by.

Sean Marks: basketball wasn't his favorite sport.

 

[mook]

He's like a white, shorter, less ugly version of Ha.

Actually, I'd rather have Ha. He at least could commit a pretty violent personal foul.

 

[Natebishop3]

Be tall.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Professional BBWAP - Big Body With A Pulse. That's all he needs to be to earn an NBA paycheck.

And BTW, that comment is NOT meant to be insensitive to Fabricio Oberto and his heart condition. I wish Fab all the best. He's a great guy, a class act and a true professional. I wish his time here in Portland could have lasted longer.

It's just a phrase I've used for years for any tall player of limited talent who is brought in to hold down the end of the bench, serve as practice fodder and only play in a game when there is absolutely no other option. Thanks to the internationalization of the NBA, the term BWS (Big White Stiff) is outdated. Now big stiffs come in all races.

We've had worse scrubby white big men. Tough to get any rhythm after being thrown into the fourth quarter cold in a tight game, when you're not very good to begin with.

 

[jlprk]

Mills threatened to leave if they didn't find someone to say, "G'day, mate."

 

[LittleAlex]

The D-League is literally full of big men who are better the Marks.

Then again, so is the NCAA.


I am hoping to never see him on the basketball court ever again after Joel comes back.

When Walton's greatest remarks are listed, you always see on the list, "What would the Clippers do without Sean Marks?"

 

[MIXUM]

Win?

He ruined the Clippers' championship possibilities that year!

Which is hard when he never played for the Clippers...

I'll go look up the quote. I just saw it last night on Ball Don't Lie, too.

 

[MIXUM]

marks was a hornet last year. making my case stronger that the blazers are this years hornets.

oberto makes him look like an all star

Here's what I was reading last night. Comment #1. I got the wrong Sean.

"Where would the Clippers be without Sean Rooks?!"

I once heard him say the same comment except with Keith Closs... which is at least as funny

You are such a homer. This year's hornets are fantastic!

 

[mook]

Enough is enough! I have had it with this MOTHER FUCKING Sean Marks in these MOTHER FUCKING games!

 

[jlprk]

Marks is even worse than Rooks was. Lifetime PERs:

Sean Marks 9.5
Sean Rooks 12.0

The guy has had a 12 year NBA career and only started 11 NBA games.

He must have a great personality.

 

[jlprk]

The guy has had a 12 year NBA career and only started 11 NBA games. He must have a great personality.

He has played 2104 minutes career, now in his 13th year (11th season, since he missed 2 seasons).

2104 minutes for 1 season would be 25 minutes per game. In Marks' 1998 draft, Vladimir Stepania played 3726 career minutes. Jelani McCoy played 3824 minutes. Jerome James played 4771 minutes. Michael Doleac played 8789 minutes. Michael Olowokandi...All these centers are available.

Former Blazers in that draft included Tractor Traylor, Ruben Patterson, Bonzi Wells, Raef LaFrentz, and Brian Skinner. All played a lot more minutes than Marks and all are available.

How did Cho decide Marks was the player to get?

When did Tractor Traylor ever play here?

 

[jlprk]

Oops. I always get him mixed up with that Blazer with the same build. I always forget the guy's name. Like right now.

 

[andalusian]

Bring back Shawn Kemp. He is like Tractor Traylor. He plowed his way through women, booze, food and drugs.
