Great article, very entertaining, except it brought up Peter Vescey, someone I never wanted to hear about for the rest of my life.
I remember once listening to KFAN and they had Frank Layden on there, who seems to be good friends with everyone, right? Well, Peter Vescey was brought up and Frank went into a Mr Hyde state and went crazy spewing his hate for Vescey. I mean, it was intense!
And since I already hated Vescey from all his appearances on TV, I pretty much enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it even more when Vescey said enough stupid things that he never appeared on TV again and nobody wants to hear what he thinks anymore. Ever.
It really is a curious thing that after all the things that Vescey said about players, that nobody ever said "Screw it" and beat the living snot out of him.
and I have to say, Simmons is way over-vauling Chris Webber. Sure, Webber was a great talent and had a couple of decent years, but he never came close to reaching his potential, flamed out very fast, and even when he was good, he was more afraid of the clutch than Trout is of showing up and showing his face.

....Peter Vescey, is without question, the most refreshing, honest, tell it like it is, NBA sports reporter/writer in Sports journalism history! He's the best in the business!
Sorry to burst your bubble.
My bubble isn't burst.
How come Vescey went from being one of the biggest voices on NBA on NBC to nothing?
The nice thing is that I haven't seen his stupid ugly smug mug anywhere since then.
Vescey may be good, but he let his personal biases get in the way.

Maybe they will be stupid enough to trade us Klay Thompson
Wow.. now that's EPIC.
Heard a funny story about Vescey from Dave Blackwell one time. Blackwell met Vescey's brother, who is apparently a respected journalist (as opposed to Peter). When Blackwell realized this, he asked the other Vescey to confirm that they were brothers. Other Vescey said, "I know. Same father. Same mother. I can't explain it." Seems even his brother wasn't his biggest fan.
Reminds me of a story from Jayson Williams, the former Nets center, who hated Rick Barry for some reason, so when he was playing against one of the Barry brothers, probably Brent, he was really hitting him hard. Brent finally said "Why are you punishing me so bad, Jay?"
Jayson answered "Cause your father is a dick!"
Brent said "Jay, I don't like him either"
Jayson said "Oh man. I'm sorry" and stopping playing Brent so physical.
