Jeffrey Tambour, whooowhoooo. So, los clipper, have some things going on, on paper; namely Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby. I do my best to not discuss U of Oklahoma alumni outside of the Biggest Mexican, my hero, Eduardo Najera (self-imposed idiocy aside, Blake Griffin is not that good, rather, college basketball is pretty piss-poor in comparison to the level of competition the Western Conference's Pacific Division has to offer). We all know quite well how Mike Dunleavy pisses off the season-ticket holders, even if said ticket holders are kind of douches about it. Who else is out there, exile in the Staples Center?
You guessed it; FRED VINSON; aka sweaty freddy (I just made that up)
Lamond Murray sighting!
Highlights (for kids):
Rounding out the coaching staff is Fred Vinson, who begins his first season as an assistant coach on Dunleavy’s staff. Vinson’s primary responsibility in his additional role as Director of Player Programs will be to serve as a mentor to the Clippers’ younger players and to ease their transition to life in the NBA. Vinson served as a player development consultant for the Clippers during the 2007-08 season.
On the court, Vinson played parts of the 1994-95 and 1999-00 season with the Atlanta Hawks and Seattle Supersonics, tallying career averages of 1.3 points and 5.2 minutes per game. Vinson also averaged 3.3 points per game for the Clippers during the 2005-06 NBA preseason. A 6’4” guard out of Georgia Tech, Vinson also helped win the 2002-03 CBA Championship as a member of current LMU and former Portland Trailblazer coach Bill Bayno’s Yakima Sun Kings. Vinson also gained experience abroad, playing professionally with SLUC Nancy in Nancy, France during the 2003-04 season.
