Raise your hand if you knew Adonal Foyle was still in the NBA? Believe it or not, the 1997 lottery pick bust is a member of the Orlando Magic.
In a blog for the Orlando Sentinel, Foyle predicts a Magic victory:
What happened is that a group of aliens took over our team (those of you who watched “Space Jam” know exactly what I’m talking about). These aliens took our guys’ abilities and placed them in separate places. So we haven’t been playing with our real team. I’ve spent the past couple of days hunting these aliens down, and I’m proud to say that I have destroyed them all, and I’ve restored all the powers to my team. I feel they are now ready to go and take the win in Game 4.
On a more serious note, what’s good about this team is that we understand that we have not played a good game yet. We have not put together a complete game in this series, and today is our last chance to do it. I’ve seen it in the guys’ eyes and I see hope there. They are going to go out and play an inspired game.
We are going to win this game because the aliens are all gone. What you will see tonight is the team that I am used to playing with – the same team that won 59 games and played great in the first two playoff series. The guys are going to leave it all on the floor and are going to take this series back to Orlando. This team is certainly equipped to do it. No other team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. But if a team is going to make history, it might as well be us. We’re going to simply work to win the first quarter, then the second quarter, the third and the fourth. And we’ll go from there.
A guy who has not played a second all season has the balls to predict a victory in Game 4.
Funny thing is, Foyle has impacted this series as much as Rashard Lewis. Zing!
