Drink one sip for every:
- "Wingspan," "long/length," "explosive," "runs the floor," "sees the floor," "bust," "motor," "franchise player," "posts up," "first step,"and "upside."
- Close-up shot of lottery pick relative
- Joke about Greg Oden's age
- Mention of Florida winning back-to-back titles
- Obvious smirk from David Stern

- Combination of any two of "tremendous/upside/potential."
- Time Greg Anthony says something obvious
- "Back to the basket," "Low-post," "rangy," "Footwork," "Painted area," [we can only hope Hubie's in attendance], "court vision," "streaky," "explosive first step," "(physical) specimen," and "National Basketball Association."
- Mention of hand size/softness

- Top hat
- Mention of the Spurs winning 4 titles in 9 seasons

Very nice.
Thanks.
And This is something new to you.
Oh my God, man. Thank you so much. I'm actually looking for a job right now. And it's not that big of a deal for me to commute to Nepal. Wow. Here I was thinking only my friends read this page, and I've got Nepalese readers so loyal that they're offering me jobs. What an opportunity!
