VIDEO: Sam Cassell plays Hamady Ndiaye in one-on-one match

A lot of random things happen in the hours leading up to a Wizards game.  One of the most amusing of those things is when Sam Cassell inevitably shoots around as if he is still a player.  This always happens after he warms up whoever needs to be warmed up for the game.  The whole thing keeps players loose and eases their nerves prior to game time.

Often times, Cassell does this with a short, spirited game of one-on-one with someone.  Andray Blatche is sometimes involved, but before the game against the Knicks, it was Hamady Ndiaye who took his turn trying to stop Cassell.  Did he succeed?  Lets go to the video.


I guess you could say that Cassell won the battle, but Ndiaye won the war.  Until next time, at least.

Granted....

Ndiaye wasn’t very physical in this pregame “match up”…… why was he on the injury list for Friday’s game?

Thanks for the clarification

So why was he inactive? I heard Dave Johnson trying to explain last season, something about a certain number of players that must be listed as inactive each game. Is this so & if yes, why?

You can only have 12 "active" players

Minimum roster is 13, maximum roster size is 15….

So with 12 players active, the rest of the players on your roster (1, 2 or 3 players) must be declared “inactive”.

No less than 60 minutes prior to tipoff, the team must present to the official scorer a list of the players who will be active for that game.

He's "delightfully cranky"

Sam made Hamady turn all the way around.

Hate to see Hamady against a current PG.

TNT should've treated Lebron's return to Cleveland game like 2k11 and cut the game off after the Cavs were down by 30. lol

Man, I love the "NBA on NBC" theme.
