Skinner!

PJAZZ19 · Mar 28, 2005

How about that Brian Skinner? And he sounded so thoughtful and intelligent in his responses in the post-game interview. I'm going to start calling him "Brain" Skinner.

IS THE MAN!!!!

Whats up Webb! The new boys grabbed 34 boards tonight!!!!!

BigWaxer · Mar 28, 2005

Amazing performance and the thing is he has consitantly played well for us. Considering he was one of the famous "INJURED LIST GUYS" that never got to play. He really has something to prove tonight and I for one was very impressed.

great game by Brian...i had a feeling he'd really have a "A" type game...good for him...

GO KINGS!!

I assume GP will travel to Egypt over the summer visiting the old pyramides.

Just in case - You never know

PejaFanatic · Mar 28, 2005

If a player is given a chance, he will definitely prove something.....and he did prove it to his former coach.

Skinner seems like a modest player which I really like.

Brian is the man

gilly420 · Mar 28, 2005

Skinner had a lot of good games last year, just didnt get the chance in Philly

Funny watching Marc Jackson tonight, that is the guy who beat out Skinn for the playing time. Skinn got his revenge tonight!

PJAZZ19 · Mar 28, 2005

Lets start calling him Brain.

He looks like someone who would read the encyclopedia, quizzing the team on the plane about their knowledge on various subjects.

Brain Skinner.

career high 19 rebounds i'm loving it!!!!

WTG brian!!!!!! and kenny, great games you two!!!!

KP · Mar 28, 2005

He really stepped up tonight, the guy just has a great all around game and great heart. Thats all you can ask for.

I cannot help but hum the "King Tut" song that Steve Martin danced to on Saturday Night Live years ago...

One of my faves.

I wish I remembered where I read it, but doesn't he have a degree in Eviornmental Studies or something? He sounds very educated. Skinner rocks.

Kev.in · Mar 28, 2005

Every good game he has (and especially this one) serves to drive home the fact that Jim O'Brien is a moron. When's the last time we had someone get 19 rebounds?!

GoGoGadget · Mar 28, 2005

There was an article that pretty much made it sound like he was a big ol' nerd as a kid.

Made me like him even more.

Great job by Skinner and Thomas tonight. These guys really have something to prove especially since they were riding the pine in Philly.

hey VF21, if it's not a secret, where did you dig out those stats ?

AleksandarN · Mar 28, 2005

Skinner should be called Ben Wallace light. He is our ben Wallace if only he had Ben's hops.

34 sounds pretty much like the no. for the whole team very often this season before the trade deadline...

I could tell you but then I'd have to ....

Oh wait. Wrong board.

The stats are from the 2004-2005 Media Guide, available for viewing online at www.kings.com.

There is a terrific thread in the Art Studio about Skinner:

I'm not so much selfish as I am self centered. There's a difference.

Also, odds are that I read the article here. Don't ask me where, because I'm lazy and that would involve looking.

Darn it I missed the interview.

I never heard Skinner speak (where have I been... Heheh) but he has this modest and sweet look about him that I really like. He plays hard and doesn't complaint.

Didn't know he is a brainy...SWEET.
