But, this one ...” it’s Mullin’s fault that Ponds is staying,” is the Gem of Gems! Yesterday , was a HUGE Day for St. John’s Basketball !! Yet, not a lot of credit thrown to the Guy who unquestionably had the ear and support of Shamorie and the Ponds family all through this Process? You hit it square on the Club Face with that one sentence ! And , thanks too, to all the other guys stepping up . Guiness, AlBovino, Otis, Ohio Fan, SSG,NCJohnnie, ChiDays, WASJ , and more than a few guys who stood up too, that i just cant recall right now . It is good to see many who have been silent thru the Negatives step up yesteday . Thanks guys .. and, if i did not mention you specifically , you and i know where your support lies .[/quote]
Not to put a damper on your fine missive but a week ago in a back and forth with Fordham96 I said:
"WHY would I need a poll to question Chris Mullin's professional opinion that Shamorie Ponds, his player, is not going to be a first round NBA Draft pick??
Chris could have easily asked Golden State to give him a look. He did not. Mullin is not on board with Ponds leaving if he is not drafted. It has nothing to do with having to provide for his family.
As for you, when you say " I know I am not the one who wants to be able to provide for my family", you should be ashamed of yourself!
Other than being left off the combine lists and the fact that those who have watched his game closely don't think he is draft ready this year, his freedom to do as he pleases is the only thing you got right."
If giving your star player sound advice should be credited to Mullin then good for Mully, but Mullin has been in the Bay area with his family through all this drama. His advice to Slick was given before he left. All the real credit goes to Shawn Ponds for navigating through all of this with his son.[/quote]
Do you have a picture of Mullins mailbox? Any pictures of him having coffee with his wife?[/quote]
