Khalid El-Amin: the dough boy who paid off

Connecticut head coach Jim Calhoun won his first national title with a beefy, cocky sophomore point guard from Minnesota named Khalid El-Amin...El-Amin scored the last four points for the Huskies 77-74 upset of highly touted Duke in 1999...

During his career in the Big East, El-Amin was an easy target for opposing crowds to taunt him with the chant "fatboy" or "doughboy"...that did not detract him as he finished with career numbers of 15.3 PPG and 4.4 APG...

El-Amin was drafted in the second round by the Chicago Bulls and played only 50 games in the NBA over two seasons...he found more success in the European Leagues...in 2006, he was named the MVP for the regular season and playoffs as he led Azovmash Mariupol of the Ukraine Superleague to the league championship...

Keep in mind that when you drink other beverages besides water, they are processed with fluoridated water. What all you need to do is search for the offerings that websites are providing concerning air conditioners, price quotes and their maintenance. Propane gas heaters are advisable in well ventilated areas and they are recommended to be used in your patios, working areas/garage, warehouses or stock areas.

Congratulations to El-Amin because he has been doing great and I hope that he can keep it up with that kind of passe.
