For the life of me I can't find a quote I've been searching for (I mean Lexis Nexis searching, not just googling). Anyway here is the paraphrase to the best of my memory:

Dumars reported having a sit-down with Rasheed after he traded for him. Dumars said he didn't want Rasheed to lose his passion while playing but drew a line in the sand. One technical, fine. But two techicals was crossing the line. Dumars said something like you can even dance on that line but we need you to not cross over it and get ejected.


Last night was the best dancing Sheed's ever done on that line and I'm not talking about cutting loose to Donna Summers' in the locker room.

I really love having a player on the team that everyone else loves to hate.

Great post Crastinator. I looked for the article but the web is a very temporary place.

Here is an NBA.com video that I liked.

Detroit's Big Second Half

great part at 1:43 in that video, tay goes to post up and draws 4 bulls' defenders, then drains the jump hook like it's nothing
