Vere Are Zey Now? Part Nein

Milone Clark is playing for the Colorado 14ers of the D-League. And, while we're on the subject of the 14ers, Matt e-mails in to say that the name comes from the 14,000 feet mountains that Colorado apparently has. Oh. Well, that makes some sense. But the Anaheim Arse is still a far better team name. So the 14ers should follow The Arse's lead, and have a team nickname that easily corrups into something childish. My suggestion - the Colorado Ballers, which easily turns into The Balls. The Arse against The Balls. Much better.

Mateen Cleaves is playing for the Bakersfield Jam of the D-League, and seemingly playing rather well, as he just recently earned Player Of The Month honours for March.

Jason Collier, if this news somehow passed you by, died of a heart condition.

Will Conroy was recently nearly signed by the Sonics, before they plumped for Eddie Gill instead. Conroy is playing for Armani Jeans Milano in Italy, one of only two teams in the world to be named after a brand of clothing and a Charmed actress. (The other is the Gimp Suit McGowans, who play in Honduras.)

Omar Cook is playing for Crvena Zvezda in Serbia, better known as Red Star Belgrade, and he still hasn't really done anything with his career except to win the heart of Scott Skiles.

Ryvon Covile is playing in Israel for Gilboa Afula Migael Haemek, but as far as I'm aware, he still hasn't pioneered a brand of cleaning detergent named after his first name. And that's a damn shame.

Chris Crawford hasn't played since leaving Atlanta, and that was freakin' ages ago. The chances are that he has permanently retired, even though he's only 32, and that's a conclusion that I come to based off of his 4 year absence from the game, and the fact that he was always bloody injured anyway.

Michael Curry has retired from playing, and briefly became the NBA's Vice President of Player Development (whatever the hell one of them does). He's now an assistant coach for the Pistons.

Erik Daniels is playing for Akasvayu Girona in Spain.

Antonio Davis has hung them up, officially or otherwise.

Dale Davis was nearly re-signed by the Pistons last month before they went for Theo Ratliff instead. He remains unsigned, and probably always will be.

Josh Davis was, once upon a time, threatening the most-NBA-teams-played-for-in-one-season record, after playing for 4 teams in the 2005/06 season. (Bobby Jones set that record this past fortnight after signing with San Antonio, his sixth team of the year.) Since then, however, ol' Josh seems to have fallen off of the NBA landscape. And that's a shame. Davis is currently playing for BC Kyiv in the Ukraine.

Justin Davis has not played for two years. I'm not sure that I even know who he is.

Hello, and welcome to this website, the best NBA website made by an English person, ever.

The point of this website is to fill the gap in the NBA fansite market that combines accurate data with an irreverent, humorous and frankly rather rude take on the league and its people, something that's only really been explored in blog form. Of course, the fact that we're now exploring this in blog form too is a little hypocritical, but never mind. There's more than just that.
