Finally.

This guy has been on the AND1 roster for 2 seasons, in which the only other recognizable player is a toss up between Rafer "Skip to my Lou" Alston & Carlos Arroyo. Monta is definitely big time compared to those two as of the 2007-2008 season, most def. Bernard Robinson doesn't even have a page filled out yet.

Also former warrior Speedy Claxton is on that list, but nowadays our boy Monta is the Speedy Warrior.

Associated Press Article via Yahoo:

A little long, a little repetitive since GSoM is up to date on all things "It Takes 5 Baby" but plenty of good quotes that show these guys are loose and confident in taking the last few steps necessary to get in the Playoffs. Nelson says "if we go down, we go down swinging" Baron saying "nobody cares about stats since if we make it, The City will love everyone on the team."

Jason Richardson with a first, being a fan like the rest of us:

But the Hornets pushed the Warriors into eighth place by beating the Clippers in overtime Tuesday night while Jason Richardson sweated out the result on his couch at home.

"That was the first time I ever watched a game and cheered for a team," said the swingman, a six-year veteran steeped in his only club's losing culture.

Playoffs Baby!

Felt in the mood to put together even more webpins for everyone's favorite Warrior young'n, humble as always, but as fierce a competitor as anyone out there at times.

-> Yahoo NBA article <-

Funny that they have Rashard Lewis running over Monta Ellis as the photo accompanying the article, a guard being run over by a near 7 foot forward, thus Monta probably got there first, planted, and took a charge. Lewis' expression looks like he knew there was nothing he could do about it at that point.

I dunno about you guys but I don't think Vlade Divac, Monta Ellis in that order.

We really don't need to have any more technical fouls for the Warriors sake for Gilbert to get more egomaniacal over.

If Iverson comes to town.

Okay hold on a minute, everyone loves to talk about New York, no matter how bad they are.

Iverson and Baron = Starbury and Francis?

Why don't we take a look at New Jersey for a minute, bear with me here.

Now at Eastbay.com/Footlocker/Champs, and hopefully a retailer near you and/or The Oracle Arena fan shops. $79.99 MSRP

(online you can find discounts up to 20% off at coupon distributing websites, most likely for Eastbay/Footlocker)

The quality on these sound better than the Reebok screenprinted thin mesh versions and the tackle/Sewn on name and number "swingman" jerseys, from reports I've read of people who have gotten the Jordan and Pippen/etc. ones.

Its closer to an authentic jersey of today with the polyester thicker than most mesh jerseys.

The inside is lined with gold and the player's stats of the 1992 Olympic Dream Team undefeated run through the games.

For some reason ball boy Laettner has his jersey for sale also, and our man Mullin might not be the best GM in the last few years, but he was a damn fine player in his day and on the Dream Team that was overloaded with talent.

Its been 14 years for someone to finally capitalize on this event with good quality jerseys, and now Nike has the rights.

So GSoM...

HOT OR NOT?!

Some skateboarding kids got up close and personal with Warriors backup shooting guard Mickael Pietrus out on the piers of San Francisco.

A short clip with some black & white color editing using a "fish eye lens" and photo overlays of him in action:

Care of YouTube.com and the user BIGPAULYFILMS

I love him admitting he can't skateboard and sits on it to be pushed around like Doug E. Doug out of Cool Runnings or something. And also the Golden Gate Bridge in the background!
