 29/01 - Cardell "Ballaholic" Butler had a blast.
Whatever the situation in yesterday's American Basketball Association All-Star game, Cardell Butler had fun. On the bench, he'd bob and sway his head to the blaring music. On the court, he'd hustle on defence and ham it up with his teammates. He even showed the pearly whites after Drew Washington made him poster material after an emphatic dunk early in the third quarter where the SilverVision at the Metro Centre showed the two playfully jawing at one another. "I just told him that he knows better than to jump with me," laughed the 22-year-old Washington, a six-foot-three guard. "I don't know why he was jumping with me. It was all fun." .. read more. |

"I think certain scenarios in streetball prepared me a little bit for the NBA because players would come out there and I'd have to matchup against them," said Williams, who played against several top-notch NBA players in summer streetball tournaments, including Sacramento's Ron Artest, Denver's J.R. Smith and Indiana's Stephen Jackson. .. read more. |
