I've been holding my breath since Thursday, when it was revealed that the Mavs
might make Kevin Willis part of their stretch run. Well, color me relieved. From
Mavs Full Court Press:
Kevin Willis passed his physical Saturday morning and will sign a 10-day contract with the Mavs, coach Avery Johnson confirmed...The 44-year-old, 7-footer won't be able to officially sign the deal until Monday when the league offices open for business so he won't be in uniform for the Suns game tomorrow...He will meet the team in Phoenix and begin workouts as soon as the contract is a done deal.
MFCP goes on to note that "more than anything," Willis is a great locker room guy and will be good for Desagana Diop. That's all fine and good, but give the guy some credit: he's about to become the oldest player in NBA history. From the
Dallas Mavericks Blog:
At 44, he would be the oldest player in NBA history. Robert Parish was 43 when he waved towels on the 1996-97 Bulls bench
Who cares if this contract lasts into the playoffs? What's important is that Kevin Willis has achieved immortality.
