Former NBA'ers travel to Iraq to meet the troops
Submitted by Shanne Jones
Started off with a group of soldiers huddled up for a briefing by Greg Minor, Thurl Bailey and Shawn Bradley. They thanked the soldiers for the great job they are doing. Everyone was reluctant at first, but Shawn Bradley loosened things up with jokes about his height. It was very interactive with 10-to-12 soldiers competing in the scrimmages and shooting drills, The crowd was entertained and awed by the antics and height of 7â6â Shawn Bradley- they would jump out of their seats every time someone scored on the NBA players. The 3-on-3 scrimmage gave the soldiers some competition and a look at the NBA players up close. The guys did not stop until each and every autograph was signed. Then finished off their day with pictures for everyone
