As of this moment, Sammy Mejia is dominating in the Turkish Basketball League and occasionally clubbing "hooligans".

On January 7, 2015, in a Eurocup away game against Budućnost Podgorica, he was involved in the incident. With two minutes of game remaining, a hooligan ran into the court and hit him from the back, after which his teammate Rowland KOed the hooligan. Mejía later joined Rowland in the brawl. Referee later ejected both players from the court.[6] He was fined by the ULEB for taking part in the incident with three games of suspension and 30,000 euros.[7]

Ninety-five percent of you will have no idea what this is about - this post is not for you, so go away.

I do remember there was a poster who was really high on Millsap coming out of HS, wanted uconn to get him badly. Was it Dogmania?

Yes, I tried to make a reference to this classic contest of prognostication, but mixed up the non-Millsap one (Mejia) with another Big East guy who did not pan out as expected.

I wonder if the loser in this contest is plucky and gritty enough to own the massive fail here.

Fishy used to write and "odds and ends" recap and was high on Millsap from Day 1. If I recall correctly, nyhuskyfan (now Gurleyman) was more locked into Mejia. I know I'm right on the Millsap piece though and always followed his line after that. Those posts. Yup. You were right, Fish.

Good for Milsap. His "Stranger in my House" was one of the first videos I remember on MTV.

It's not quite as good as money as some of the female singers are getting for their residencies in Vegas, but that money is nothing to sneeze at for a blind white guy of his age.

Ah yes...the old days of TOS. I used to post a lot more under a different handle in those days. But clearly remember Milsap getting to La. Tech and Fishy warning of an "I told you so".

It continues to feel like I lost a race I didn't even know I was in. I might have like, stretched or something, first.

Sadly, my actual point was brilliant - Sammy Mejia, who was backing up Mickey D's guard Mike Jones on their AAU team - looked like a better college prospect than Jones. I don't often have brilliant insight. That was as good as it gets from me. And Fishy ruined it.

This is why we don't exchange Christmas cards any more.

Drummond wants his extension now and I think the Pistons have to keep the big fella happy, I expect him to get something huge like 5 years 120 million. Khris Middleton just got 5 years 70 million, the money is insane and with the new tv deal the contracts are only going up in future years.

Did not pan out? (Granted "best player at DePaul" is a pretty low bar to hurdle - perhaps I am not doing myself any favors here).

i followed millsaps recruitment, wasn't on the yard though. i remember his uncle would put him through the craziest workouts for a high schooler....he was in the top percentile as far as physical shape in d1 when he entered, no wondered he dominated the ncaa rebounding rankings.

Did not pan out in the competition with Millsap in terms of who would have the better NBA career. That was the question, was it not?

Actually, I think when Fishy announced that he and I were in a competition, he based it on who would be the better college player. Which was still Millsap by a mile. I lose that head to head faceoff between those two no matter how you compare them - other than alphabetical (barely).

You realize Millsap just signed a 60 million dollar deal, right?

If you Google Mike Jones, and then re-Google for "Mike Jones Maryland" since the other way gets you a lot of rapper stories on the first couple pages, the first thing that comes up after Wikipedia is "Whatever Happened To Mike Jones?"

My horse beat the horses I was racing him against. Then someone entered him against Seattle Slew when I wasn't looking.

There's no other way to put it- Fishy had a Paul Millsap fetish

Sounds like revisionist history to me, but done with a nice touch.
