Gary Forbes: NBA watch
Yesterday morning, I was in Shanghai, China. I had a few minutes to burn waiting for my ride to the airport so turned on CCTV. The sportscast was on. And I heard, much to my surprise, about a new addition to the (Shanghai Sharks?) and how he contributed 15 points in the second quarter alone. He's going to be a great one, they said! Yes, it was Gary Forbes! Evidently he had a great game. He's getting serious airtime there and it was a great broadcast to hear. There is much excitement about his arrival.
Good in China luck Gary!
We hope to see you back in the NBA soon!

Big Springfield Armor fan. I went to many of their games when I lived in WMass. They should have a good team this year too, including the return of my favorite non-Umass player, JamesOn Curry.
It seems JamesOn also not a big fan of Travis Ford

Gary update...
He was playing with the Armor thru December, averaging almost 18 a game. Then on 12/27, he was deactivated and put on injury waiver, according to this page:
http://basketball.realgm.com/dleague/te ... on_History
The Republican said: "Forbes’ injury is undisclosed."

... but then a week later they reported a knee injury.

He tweeted 8 days ago that he had a "successful procedure", but not certain if he meant his knee.
