Terrific news.  Well-deserved.

Great people for him to be in company with:

Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Allen Iverson and Emeka Okefor.

Anyone know injury status on McNeal??

funny to see AI in there "practice... were talking about practice?"  oh boy AI, I still remember when in the NCAA tourney you got a 10 second call, while not being pressed, you just decided it would be a good idea to dribble between your legs the whole way, still one of my favorite NCAA moments.. and that was when I was like 10, most likely younger

Well deserved.  The guy is just a passing lane nightmare for teams. 8)

As to his injury, it sure doesn't sound like anything is broken.  "Day to day" status is something I can get happy about.

Interesting the Rosiak tabs McNeal at 6'1, when the roster has him at 6'3.
