Tim James, a first-round draft pick of the Heat in 1999, is now stationed in Iraq. "I got my degree, lived the life I was able, have my freedom and became a professional athlete," James told the Associated Press last week. "I'm the example of the American dream." James is stationed 85 miles north of Baghdad. "In life, we all have different desires and needs," said Leonard Hamilton, James' college coach. "With the passion he has, he had to go fulfill this. I'm in total support of Tim and what he's doing. He's at peace. All we can do is hope he comes back safely." James played in just 43 NBA games for the Heat, Hornets and 76ers before a short stint in Europe. "I think of myself as a patriot," James said. "I wanted to give back to a country that gave so much to me." --------------------  "sex is like math you add the bed, subtract the clothes, divide the legs, and hope not to multiply"     |

I like this story because its about someone who failed in the NBA and didnt become a drunk, a murderer or a a crazy lunatic breaking into neighbors houses.

Let's hope he doesn't end up like that football player who did the same and died like a month later.
I think that's what happened?... I love how much research I use on my posts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) --------------------  |

Pat Tilman, he died a couple years later though and it was friendly fire. plus he joined ater 9/11 and went to Afghanistan.

Never heard of him, but good for him to serve our great country.
--------------------  3 more wins until the Dallas Cowboys are Superbowl Champions Next to lose: Minnesota Vikings QUOTE (Redneck @ Jan 9 2010, 03:37 PM)  I have joined the collective efforts of Buffalo Bills fans in rooting for Wade Phillips. Our hope is that if Wade wins than the curse that has been put on the Bills since he benched Flutie and starting Johnson will be lifted. So in that regaurd; Go Cowboys. |
