That’s true, but he had less of an ego about his game, which is what I liked about him. He had no interest in retiring, or doing a one game stint with the A’s for his legacy. He was still playing with the Newark Bears for a year, because he could still play with them. There was something sort of pure in that I respected. A lot of people talk about love of the game, but it seemed legit for Ricky.
True, we can go into a deep dive on character makeup. But to @haney point I also think there was a pure part to Ricky or maybe it was he was so wrapped up in his identity as a baseball player that he couldn’t let go. Many of us suffer from the fear of not being “enough” so we come of up with personas, ideas, coping mechanisms. But my point was I think there’s a difference between Ricky’s behavior and a Dennis Rodman for instance. Where the behavior is a cry for attention as a mean to make up for something else.

I think you’re right it had to do with a bonus or a big moment I don’t recall which.
I know some of you want to relitigate the 21-22 roster arguments, but the real ones want to relitigate the 16-17 wing arguments (Hall v Shayok v Thompson). We narrowly missed a EuroLeague showdown, however as Marial just got signed by the Celtics, but likely on his way to Maine.

Devon playing for Milano
(and not involved in the argument, but Tobey playing for Barca, also in the EuroLeague)
Even after all these years they still can’t separate from each other!
He is the son of good friend from my UVa days. Cool stuff
Saw that on Twitter. That is a fantastic graphic. I’d buy that as a poster, no joke.
Am sure we can find him and get it printed. @Benrekosh made a couple things for me that were great
better graphic than most of the pros. Would be interesting to see recruiting ranking and guaranteed $ added to that
I legit did not know Braxton had a 2-way with Detroit. That’s awesome. Always felt he was criminally underrated as a Hoo and that broken wrist ruined what could have been a big breakout.

Plus Covid really put the kabash on that 2020 season too early, in which *nobody probably wanted to play us going into the NCAA tournament.
