Knicks · On the topic of centers: Where's Jackie Butler?! (page 1)

The dude is only 26 - and he's been MIA since 2007. What happened to him?

He sucks.

Jackie Blue ate himself out of the league.

What a random thought!

You're right, though; nothing post-October 2007 is mentioned

I'll give Larry Brown credit on one front, he had Eddy and Jackie Blue playing the best ball of their career.

Ummm, wasn't that Isiah who got the most out of Eddy?

No idea what happened to Jackie Butler, but the mention of him having eaten himself out of the league made me think of Michael Sweetney, who is currently training with Roger mason, Brendan Haywood and others- he looks pretty big still, shame (I can't remember whose twitter it was on, so I can't post the link sorry). Just to remind you of his decline:

And here's a pic from 2011- yikes! I like that the jersey is sponsored by Burger King

Pretty sure that was John Paxson.

This guy puts Big Sofo, Eddy Curry, Oliver Miller, Robert Traylor and Jerome James to shame.

You right, dude played 81 games in the post Larry season and AVG. 19 pts per.

Holy crap, Sweetney looks like a dead ringer for Robert Traylor....

Too soon?

Unfreakingbelievable. Eddy, you are no longer the biggest acquisition of the Isiah era. That now belongs to Sweetooth.
