| 0:00.0 | All right, we had to take it to a part two because we had so many players we want to talk about these are the players who whether due to injury or |
| 0:07.7 | Unfortunate tragedy weren't able to fulfill their potential. We talked about number of players back in part one |
| 0:13.6 | I suggest y'all go back and listen to that if you haven't listened to it yet |
| 0:17.1 | And I guess we can get right into it here Danny |
| 0:19.8 | We can continue on with our list who you got let's go a little bit more modern |
| 0:25.5 | We have players from all over and talk about Gilbert Reenis arena sign you know was a early |
| 0:31.4 | You know the Creek you know the inspiration for the arena's role was after he assigned a two-year deal with the Golden State Warriors |
