Rashad, lame

Rashad McCants’ stock continues to drop faster than a pair of Katie Holmes’ panties, this time during a stop over in Charlotte to work out with the Bobcats today.

Just 45 minutes into his warmups, Rashad pulled a hammy. He apparently sat around the rest of the time making faces, according to the video tape I saw on the news, while Raymond Felton and Julius Hodge and Deron Williams looked great.

I really want to pull for Rashad. I want him to succeed. But he’s really not doing himself any favors by not being prepared.

Then he’s got to go and open his mouth. Here’s the story from Charlotte.com’s website. Here’s a snippet:

Hodge, who also worked out with McCants in Toronto, seemed to question McCants’ toughness.

“My mom always said if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all,” Hodge said when asked about McCants. “I know when I come to the workouts, I come to work.”

McCants brushed off Hodge’s remarks.

“I think he’s a great guy. He just likes the attention,” McCants said. “Some guys need that attention all the time.”

Rashad, just play ball and make us proud here in Ashvegas.
