Wicked. FreeDarko is a fantastic site. My friend and I have been calling Okur the white Shaq (meant to be ironic) - but the fat Elvis works better. Great stuff. Love the "curious bird" analogy.

The Great FireWall won't let me visit blogspot but are NBA players the fun guys of sports that you would most want to hang out with? Shaq, Okur, Scott Pollard, Shirley, Jayson Williams (before the, um, y'know), Tom Tolbert. Guys that really seem to be having fun and making the most of their situations.

Unlike Elvis, Mehmet doesn't have a postage stamp...yet.
