jjray Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I am not sure about the people close to him. You saw what happened when Airtime was out defending showtime. A damn shame.Not sure your point, Airtime was supreme when on air defending Showtime. That was some masterful PR work. Anybody see Airtime at SLU games prior to the incident? I suspect Airtime just helicoptered in for a cameo appearance in the drama that is the life of Showtime and that may explain a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It is water long over the dam and down the river, but I've seen 4 SLU games in person this season, and think from time to time, if SLU just had Willie out there blocking shots, as the last line of defense, the SLU goalie and rebounder. He was such a charismatic player, as someone once said, the "soul" of the team. I've posted this before- the first time I saw Willie Reed play was his freshman year at Chaifetz against GW. Willie blocked a shot at one end, ran the floor, and dunked at the other end. I exclaimed, SLU has needed Willie Reed my whole life. Really, with light tinkering here and there, the missing piece for these SLU Billikens is the 5, the true Center. Still, SLU is 13-3, and the sky remains the limit. Let's dance in March, as in the Big Dance, the NCAA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Willie is tweeting about lost love on Twitter when there isn't a league in the world outside of the NBA who wouldn't give him a lot of money to play ball. Boggles my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's dance in March, as in the Big Dance, the NCAA! Charismatic? Maybe. A thief and liar? Definitely. He was a plague to the team and needed to be gone. It took me a while to realize it, but I'm glad I did. We wouldn't be top 10 with Willie. Instead we would probably have a few more losses because he killed team chemistry. I wish him luck, but I don't worry about him being gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Loved Willie's athleticism and talent. Loved his fun for the game. Is obviously the "missing link" for now. You can focus on the positive, and the negative. What is obvious through it all is that this guy had no desire to be in school/stay in school. What is also becoming more obvious is that his priorities were and remain all screwed up. If the guy concentrates, he can maybe find a spot on an NBA bench somewhere or a D league team or overseas. What happened to Spain? If that happens, money would flow and the rest of his skewed life might fall into place. W/o a spot (i.e contract) the question becomes "would you like fries with that" or "is that for here or to go?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
