Diebler sighting!
 
The player who was represented to us here on the board as the greatest basketball player in the history of civilization is playing on the Trailblazer NBA summer league team. The Blazers can't promote him to their regular team because the NBA doesn't allow "infinity" as a jersey number.

Trying to reconcile the words greatest, player and Trailblazer being used with NBA. Doesn't compute.

No, Houston!

Diebler played in the Blazers vs. Oklahoma City game tonight. He scored 122 points even though he was being guarded by Chuck Norris! :eek:

While doing research on the Higgs boson, I heard that Diebler challenged Stephen Hawking to a wheelchair basketball game, and beat him. As a result of winning that game, from now on the radiation emitted by a black hole will be known as Bekenstein–Diebler radiation, and Lou Gehrig's disease will now be known as Randy Smith's disease.

Even my daughter thinks he's overrated and mocks him along with all her friends. He's I still say his career will fizzle as his voice changes.

I don't know how he will be able to play in the NBA since their games go way past his 8:00 curfew. :rolleyes:

Mark Padgett Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:53am
Diebler played in the Blazer - Houston game last night. He scored "only" 104 points but that was probably because he was being guarded by the Incredible Hulk. :eek:

We have a Jon Diebler sighting!
 
This just in:

P.S. I forgot to add that one of my H.S. teammates played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

That's pretty funny. Some of the forum members in the original thread have become just as scarce as The Great One.

Caught the original thread. I just like to break out the "I once saw Bill Brasky ...." SNL skits.

JRutledge Wed Jan 23, 2019 02:27am
I never do this......
 
I could not resist.

Diebler and Carmelo traded

Peace

JRutledge Wed Jan 23, 2019 02:38am
And I never thought I would ask this question.....
 
Where is Mark? Has anyone heard from him in any capacity? I know he had some health problems, but I am concerned. He has not been on the site since August.

Peace
