I'm gonna just come out and say it:

I would fuckin love to drink with Don Nelson.

That dude's so damn funny when he's sober; imagine the story's this guy would bust out over a bottle of wine. So many people are tightly wound about how he enjoys his alcohol; but I could care less. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of life's pleasures that Nelson's never let interfere with his business. That being said, I'd love to just sit at a bar with this guy and have a few cold ones.

Besides... something tells me I could drink Nelson under the table. I know he's got the weight advantage and the experience, but I'm repping Chico, dammit, and that's what we do.

Dude was funny, again, yesterday with Ralph and Tom. He got some great comments off on both Barnes and Monta (called Monta a pouter and said that he sees why Barnes has moved around the league). Talked a bit about Marques Johnson's drug problem, too.

Our team may suck, and our coach may not give a darn about having his players rebound or play defense, but our coach is truly a breath of fresh air.
