Complainers Simply Bring Him to Tears
With the playoffs approaching, I would like to introduce my 1990-91 All-NBA Crybaby Team:
Coach: Rick Adelman, Portland. Every time the camera is on him, he is whining.
And now, the starting lineup:
Center: Bill Laimbeer, Detroit Pistons. He’s the honorable captain on this squad, or is it dishonorable?
Guard: Jeff Hornacek, Phoenix Suns. Hornacek believes he has never committed a foul.
Guard: Danny Ainge, Portland Trailblazers. Ainge speaks for himself.
Forward: Kevin McHale, Boston Celtics. Kevin is one of the greatest complainers.
And rounding out this All-Crybaby Team, at forward: Tom Chambers, Phoenix Suns. Tom, along with teammate Hornacek, are two of the best whiners.
And there you have my All-Crybaby Team. Any questions? Call Charles Barkley.
