Travis Hansen made a very good living in Spain and USSR/Russia

If I remember correctly after he left the Hawks and after a few seasons in Europe he was given a chance to return to the NBA but with everything he had going on in Russia, and the fact he was making a very large salary he chose not to try it. I might be wrong on this part, it wouldn't be the first time I was.

I would be fine for him becoming a foreign sharpshooter...

I haven't seen him play in years, but someone said the other teams just isolate

Amazing considering some guys that have made it in the NBA

Going 0-6 in 15 minutes Game 1 and 0-0 in 10 minutes in Game whatever sure

It's like almost as if there's more to making it in the NBA than shooting and D

Hornacek's athleticism was vastly underappreciated. His hand quickness was great

Yeah, I think I said Hornacek was taller. Maybe it was just my imagination.

You did. But the two really aren't comparable as players. It was much more than

Absolutely. All-around Jeff was better

That, and he was one of the smartest basketball players in the game and is now

Heard whispers that his D is a lot better, but has trouble bringing the ball

Isn't Jimmer the 2spot though?

Probably seen as too short for that.

Haven't watched a lot of Penguins games. I"m not really a hockey fan.

If only he an Lemieux were on the same line

^^^ Bingo! His defense is not great, but it's not abysmal. The real problem...

I just want him to get a consistent, legitimate chance over time. He's getting

Europe Baby. He'll be a superstar abroad.

I agree

I understand supporting your boy.....but he is not getting the shaft.

He has shown he can score when he gets more than 6 minutes every 5th game. I

It would be suicide for the Jazz if they signed Jimmer.

Jimmer will make good money in Europe.

White guy, sharpshooter, doesn't play defense. He'll fit right in.

teams keep trying to use him as a spot up shooter he moves OK without the ball

Dr T-bone

I doubt he makes it much longer - they will part ways with a few more DNP's
