“When I think of Sam Bowie, I think of a guy like me – someone who was drafted high but never was able to fully demonstrate his gifts to the world,” Foyle told reporters in a Taco Bell parking lot near the team’s practice facility.
“I mean, without Sam Bowie, there would never have been an Alaa Abdelnaby, or a Duane Causwell, or an Adam Keefe,” Foyle said. “I’m starting a petition around the league to get other guys on board with this. Mikki Moore, Darko, Jerome James – hey, those guys all know the importance Bowie had to this league. We're all #31's little kids, you know? Growing up in the Grenadines, I had a huge poster of Sam on my wall – and I’m just living his dream now.”
While picking through the remains of a gordita supreme, Foyle dismissed questions about the meaningfulness of a player who has yet to get off the bench issuing edicts on uniform numbers.
“Hey, Sam didn’t get off the bench in the late 80s, either, but that doesn’t change how he impacted this league,” Foyle claimed. “When you think of guys with wrapped knees sitting on the end of the bench, you think of Sam Bowie, right? When you think of teams regretting wasted picks on useless big men, you think of Sam Bowie. I’d like to think I’m part of that tradition as well.”
NBA officials declined to comment when reached by email, and Orlando officials expressed surprise at both Foyle’s petition and the fact he’s still on the team’s roster.
“Honestly, I thought we had waived him during the summer,” a baffled GM Otis Smith told reporters. “I thought I saw him at the end of the bench last week, but I wasn’t really paying close enough attention. It’s nice to have Adonal around, I guess.”

You are so not funny.
Good article.
Ummm... Gorditas...
ROFL
It's not that this person isn't funny, it's just that he tries WAY too hard. Of all the mediocre players to ever wear 31, he chooses quite possibly the smartest man in the NBA. It's this type of ignorance that gives every reason why Seattle will never have an NBA franchise again.
Dude WTF? We all agree that PN is a big loser who has nothing better to do on a Friday night, but that was uncalled for.
Wow! I had no idea there were so many folks with man-crushes on Adonal Foyle. I guess that's why Seattle will never have the honor of lining Stern's pockets again--because we don't love Adonal Foyle enough. Sniff-sniff . . .
what's even more funny is the dude that uses a derogatory term as his name calls Seattle folks "ignorant".
