Speaking of John Wayne...

This is a story that my brother told me about, related by a stuntman who worked with John Wayne on several movies.

Story was that Wayne and a group of actors and stuntmen were playing poker in a hotel room. One of the stuntmen (who'd had a few) decided to play a little game with The Duke.

The stuntman said he had a wager for him. He wanted to bet Wayne a thousand bucks that he could draw a line on the floor, stand directly across from Wayne on the other side of the line, and Wayne wouldn't be able to punch him. After thinking about it for a moment and wondering what the guy had in mind, Wayne agreed to the bet.

So the guy went over to the bathroom door and drew the line in the doorway. Wayne came over and stood on the other side of it.

The stuntman smiled, shut the door, said "Okay, go" and started laughing.

Wayne stood there for a moment, gave it some thought, looked over at the other guys still sitting at the poker table, and then looked back at the closed door.

Then he balled up his right hand, drew back his fist and punched the door with all his might :sosp:

The door came off its hinges, smacked the stuntman in the face, busted his nose and knocked him backward into the hotel bathtub.

The guy who told the story thought it was one of the funniest things he'd ever seen. he didn't know why Wayne didn't put it in one of his movies.

That's who John Wayne was :yesnod:

      I don't think it's a homer though when I really feel this team can beat anyone.  The points that can be scored in bunches when the big three are on has high potential.  Moose has effort for days and IMO is the heart of the team.  And didn't see Miles becoming the team "vet" in the starting lineup just roleplaying lol.   We have to limit the turnovers though (Brandon Miller I'm looking at you bud, you are a bad ball handler) and some little things.   Colby off the bench is a cheat code and him and Kaulk have a nice little game going with the picks.    Sion playing every game and just getting better each game.  He has grit.  Grant and Green also grit.  We need replace Tillman with PJ Hall though.  Tillman looks like someone that shouldn't be on an NBA court, or at least with this team, he's just too slow for this tempo.   Even McNeely looked decent tonight and can drive.   If Kaulk and Moose could even be like 30% 3pt shooters man....
