I met Salim Stoudamire and NBA Super-Agent Aaron Goodwin today after work... Nice guys.
I recognized Salim Stoudamire because he's the cousin of Damon Stoudamire, PG for the Portland Trailblazers (one of my favorite teams). That and former GSW Gilbert Arenas also came from Arizona. I recognized Aaron Goodwin from his being in the news from being fired by LeBron James, but I didn't tell him that
I met Salim Stoudamire because he was in today for a workout with the Golden State Warriors and he needed a root canal, and the team sent him to my father, who's an endodontist, to do the work. (He does oral surgery for all the Bay Area sports teams, and sometimes others. Earlier in the year he did one for Billy Hunter, the executive director of the NBA Players Association)
Salim was quite personable and all smiles, which was considering the surgery he just got, lol... He also has good taste He showed me his ride, which is a silver Hummer with very nice chrome accessories... It has more of a tech'd out look than a bling'd out one. It has large modern chrome off-roading rims instead of spinners, for example. I'm actually considering getting an H2 now! As an added benefit, I can also keep up with Sue Bird, lol...
However, I found it funny that Salim was wearing Syracuse Orange basketball shorts instead of Arizona ones I suppose he must look up to Carmelo Anthony... Aaron Goodwin was wearing a black shirt and jeans shorts and neither had any jewelry on.
Well tomorrow, Salim goes to Sacramento for another workout. They should take a hard look at him, considering Bobby Jackson may ask for a trade... Unfortunately, the Warriors are going to be stuck with Derek Fisher's contract for a few years doing backup PG duty...
