August 2002 AO has been invited to Seattle Super Sonics' training camp. AO came to Seattle's camp with his man Chris Hightower (AND1 baller). To impress Seattle's scouts AO did whatever was possible but the scouts thought that "... his IQ was none..." and it never happened for AO to play for Seattle. That stupid decision of Seattle scouts happened to be dicisive in AO's carrer and his dream never came true - he didn't make it to the big League. Afterwords now Seattle's got no good point guards since Gary is gone and the rest of those PG's in Seattle are not good enough to fit to the NBA game style. I'm sure that right now those scouts think of the last year's decision about AO and I can tell You for sure: those motherfuckers feel like shit, 'cause they've lost the opportunity of signing AO and AO himself probably would never by able to make it to the League. Feel pity for him... |
