Petro89

For the late, great basketball player Drazen Petrovic. Killed in a car accident when he was entering his prime in the NBA. 22 PPG, 52% shooting, 44% from downtown. He was easily the best shooting guard in the NBA not named Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, or Clyde Drexler while he was playing, and was only 28 and improving. The 89 is for his rookie year.


RIP Petro

:(


The trout is just cause I like eating fish. :)

ah, Petrovic...i loved watching him play. the guy was a flat out gunner. i remember being stunned when i heard he died in a car accident.

my name is randal :) I usually go by `rand0m` everywhere on the net, but it was taken here 4 years ago, so I went with my name. The smiley is because I'm a campfire-story-teller fun-time kind of guy :D

Funny, my dad just mentioned him the other night, maybe two nights ago? We were talking about the draft and he mentioned him.

Uh.. At one point I aspired to be like Kubo, where you could profit from being an Otaku, cuz that's just true fandom there, complete with OTAKULAND!!!

And I chose baghead so I can hide my face from everybody else. :D

As much as people think I am a fruit fornicator, it's actually just my name, as displayed in my profile.

Well I've had my name since way back in the day when I first started playing Counter-Strike, Beta 3 baby!!! hahaha! Well I couldnt figure out an original name but I happened to be watching The Crow(I think) and something in the movie about Death Becomes Us All.....I liked that....but I thought it was too long so i shortened it to DeathBUA.....hence my name on Anand....hehe

And as far the guy with the surgical mask....well I'm soon going to be a nurse :)

"Meltdown" was the name of a DJ for 101.1 WRIF in Detroit when I got heavy into Duke Nukem 3D. the handle just fit for the game and it stuck with me ever since. plus, people get to call you Melty sometimes, which is cool. :p

previous handles were Daredevil (c=64) and Smashed Pumpkin.

I picked my name because it's my name. Where else would anyone see "shilala"?
I picked the bag because I'm a n00b.
