Uh oh, Adam Amin might be canceled for being a bully.  Don't let Gen Z know of this clip ;):

Adam will be a guest on a WGN TV news broadcast which is still on my TV system in Indy. I assume he will be interviewed about the Bulls broadcasts.

LOL, him and King were giving that guy the business.  The fan took it all in stride and the Bulls hooked him up with some better gear.  Too funny.

Great to see Rowdy back in action!

You jest, but had they been a pair of white males, the morally disingenuous virtue signallers would have been foaming at the mouth over this.

valpotx

Though I wouldn't use the exact words that you did, I believe that you are correct, that if it was a few white males making these comments, it would have drawn more attention

You'd be surprised at the amount of Mid-Con/Horizon League connections that our Basketball alumni have played with over the years.  It's fun to randomly search out our former players' EuroBasket/etc profiles, and see where they have been.  Sykes and Broekhoff playing together is definitely one of the more fun pairings.

Congrats to Vuuuuuuuuuuuuu.  I had forgotten that he had 1 season as a coach at Valpo.  I have to wonder if he still holds Valpo in high regard, or if he feels stung that he didn't get the HC job that went to Lottich, based on that whole BS situation with his former agent/Don Bosco rep.

Wow, $4.1m for Alize Johnson to continue with the Nets?  Alec Peters is better than Alize.  I would be curious what he is making in Spain.

The biggest difference is Johnson stayed in the US and played in the G League while Peters went overseas.

Looks Like Brandon isn't quite done playing ball! Thought maybe he was done considering he had started a business https://www.moboyllc.com and also The Brandon Wood Foundation.

And he's going for the James Harden look.

Congrats to BWood! Awesome to see him still playing and doing so much for his community. He really is a class act on and off the court

Let's just hope Brandon has found his path to be less unstable than in the past.

That was nine years ago, I think Brandon has proven himself to be an asset to his community and to the Valpo program. Here is a video just this week of him talking about telling the coaches that he wanted to explore the option of the graduate transfer rule. He has nothing but good things to say. This video is mainly focused on his time at Michigan State.

Brandon is a class act in everything he does.
Season Results: CBI/CIT: 2008, 2011, 2014  NIT: 2003,2012, 2016(Championship Game) 2017   NCAA: 1962,1966,1967,1969,1973,1996,1997,1998 (Sweet Sixteen),1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2013 and 2015

Good for him.  He got close to the NBA dream in the last few years, but is doing the right thing by finishing his career overseas.

This is unfortunate to see about Rowdy.  We are thinking positive thoughts for you!

My very best wishes to Ryan that he finds all the joy, peace, and fulfillment life can bring.

valpotx - Thank you for posting this.

It takes a great deal of courage for Ryan to admit this publicly. I sincerely hope he gets the help that he needs and is able to find happiness and peace.

Not sure how this hasn't been mentioned of if I missed it but E. Victor Nickerson is playing on Team 23 in the TBT.
