quote: Play well here, or be sent to Arkansas By STEVE BUFFERY -- Toronto Sun Young players on the Raptors roster will have extra incentive to play well this season. If they don't shape up, general manager Rob Babcock can ship them out to one of the more remote and less glamorous locations in the National Basketball Development League. The NBA announced yesterday that the Raptors new minor-league affiliate will be the Arkansas RimRockers. Under a new agreement, NBA teams will be able to send players to the NBDL for seasoning, provided that the player has no more than one year of service in the NBA. The RimRockers, who play out of the Alltell Arena in North Little Rock, Ark., will be affiliated with the Raptors as well as the Memphis Grizzles, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks.

FACT: The RimRockers were league CHAMPIONS in last year's ABA season, and iirc had top attendance and top profitability

FACT: The RimRockers play in state of the art Alltel Arena, which is across the river from Little Rock, a well known metropolis with its own skyscrapers, rich history, excellent standards of living, and museums and theatres up the wazoo plus a Presidential Library

Sorry to break it to you mrmitchell, but every part of this country has to live with its stereotypes.

Californians as dumb asses
Texans as gun crazy rednecks
Mississippians as cousin marrying hicks (ditto for West Virginians)
New Yorkers as insuferable jerks

so forth and so on.

And Arkansas is simply not every really on anyone's mind, outside of those from or in Arkansas.

For what it's worth, the Toronto Sun is our nearly bankrupt trash tabloid rag.

And looking at the NBADL, there ain't alot of glamorous locations: Albuquerque, Arkansas, Austin, Fayetteville (sweet!), Florida (Naples), Fort Worth, Roanoke and Tulsa.

I understand his POV. You live in a less travelled part of the world. You know it's a great place, yet every once in a while some clown from 'the bigs' writes or broadcasts some ill conceived and usually completely inaccurate crap about 'home'.

Being in Texas, I would expect you'd be familiar with the phenomena.

You couldn't be farther from the truth. Clinton put Arkansas on the map. Everywhere in the world, when I talk with people, they say, "Arkansas, that is where Clinton is from, right?"

There is a whole lot to do in Austin and Fort Worth (and neighboring Dallas) at least.

Roanoke would have to be the worst location. Nothing there. It's like a part of a suburb of a real city.

i am sorry they must be fans of the former president. Oh and by the way i am not trying to insult you or the state. I dont know much about his political dealings there but rather more of the dozen scandels that associate the state with a bad rap. The same was as texas catches the rap for bush. You emention clinton to me and a lot of folks and you hear of nothing but a few rapes and sex scandals and fraud.
