  • WordsnCollision, on 05/08/2008, -2/+40How many hits on his website since the story broke? Nuthin' but (inter)net...
  • UltraDavid, on 05/08/2008, -5/+42You could tell this was a joke just from the guy's name. Zach Feinstein? This is the closest my people have gotten to playing pro basketball for decades.
  • IDIGTHEDIGG, on 05/08/2008, -1/+37Too bad for Zach that Isiah Thomas got fired.
  • bicyclethief, on 05/08/2008, -0/+30Zach doesn't have enough off-court trouble to make the Knicks.
  • jordanmerle, on 05/08/2008, -3/+32If the NBA was an equal opportunity employer im sure they could find him a job.
  • dimmerswitch, on 05/08/2008, -1/+22Previous Team: 3rd Grade Rec League
  • adambadam, on 05/08/2008, -0/+20Methinks this will not be quite as easy a process next year.
  • Elissar, on 05/08/2008, -0/+15Well, let's put it this way, the Heat can't possibly get any worse...
  • inactive, on 05/08/2008, -2/+16I'll sign him for a couple bucks, he can play 1v1 against me in my backyard ^^.
  • greenlight2001, on 05/08/2008, -0/+13You just posted 5 comment above... and along the same lines.
  • skeletorcares, on 05/08/2008, -4/+16Equal opportunity only applies to non-whites. Get it? EQUAL.
  • a1cd, on 05/08/2008, -0/+10actually, there is no fee
  • peeinian, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8Well ***** me running; guess I should have actually read up on it. Thanks for the info. I'll be seeing all of you in the Draft next year.
  • xadamxwaltonx, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7I thought it was the onion at first...
  • inactive, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6So he declared for the NBA draft, made a website, and there's no way in hell he's going to drafted. Am I supposed to be laughing? Where's the joke? Sounds like another idiot craving cheap internet attention....
  • acdcfanbill, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Charles Barkleystein?
  • Gosunkugi, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6And what's the deal with airline peanuts, huh? Crazy!
  • JointheArmy, on 05/08/2008, -3/+8Lower? You mean how much did he have to raise the rim. *****'s got skillz.
  • z3r0c0O1, on 05/08/2008, -1/+6What the *****.
  • giangsing7, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5buried for being stupid.
  • peeinian, on 05/08/2008, -1/+5Fact: Pretty much anyone can apply for the NBA draft. http://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles/article-X.php

    There is a fee of course, and if you are reading this, it is likely you lack the skill to make the NBA. Now get out there and practice.
  • chrisbosh123, on 05/08/2008, -1/+5No offense but it even says on the draft express website "other "unknown individuals" who are likely entering their name in the draft as a practical joke." so I'm not sure if he saw that or not...
  • AmericanGunner, on 05/08/2008, -1/+5eww gross.
  • DroidBlender, on 09/18/2008, -2/+6Look at him go! That dunk is crazy...
  • citizenchan, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4So many ways to get famous these days.
  • rivalius13, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Still plenty of time to run over a hooker before the draft. He can blame it on GTA IV!
  • sovereign3, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4I do believe the NBA is an equal talent league.
  • BadseedJR, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Thanks for the completely unrelated comment to this story. Douche.
  • p0tent1al, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4IF you know what he means (wink wink)
  • whataboutdave, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4Zack wasn't on the team.
    (Just clarification for anyone who wasn't aware.)
  • SilenceIsFoo, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Probably the same way you declare bankruptcy.

    "I declare BANKRUPTCYYY!!!" -Michael Scott
  • ramunenke, on 05/08/2008, -2/+5dugg for intrigue. Hopefully he will become NBA's own rickroll.
  • tweedius, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Lol, nicknames on his site:
    http://www.draftfeinstein.com/nickname.php
  • Modestexcuse, on 05/08/2008, -3/+6Hey, I'm 5'10" and 160lbs, Caucasian to a T. I want in! I have 2" on this guy, and this is the first time in my life I can say that.
  • Gosunkugi, on 05/08/2008, -1/+4Perhaps the Sonics could draft him. Honestly, we really can't do much worse at this point.
  • threemagic, on 05/08/2008, -1/+4Apparently you've never seen the Utah Jazz.
  • midejitsu, on 05/08/2008, -1/+4What I read on his site doesn’t really sound like a basketball fan. It sounds like a bored college student who came up with this idea while drunk. Believe me, I am all for having ideas while drunk and I am all for being drunk even without ideas. I just happen to know that many things stop being funny once you’re sober. I really don’t care if the NBA has to spend a couple of bucks on this clown, but unless he recently broke his legs and discovered he can jump really high this isn’t even as interesting as the plot of a very mediocre ’90s flick.
  • indraneel24, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Jordan Farmar plays for the Lakers.
  • ironcrotch, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Sure you can get much lower, you might not have a team at all next year.
  • giantsfan134, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Surprising only 16 people thought to do this.
    I think I'll sign up next year!
  • Red05, on 05/08/2008, -1/+3eh... it happens every year
  • nick2, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2He should go to a local sports store and try to set up a signing, haha. He could just say that he's a college student that is in the 2008 NBA Draft and see if any people come for his autograph.
  • Tolzmaniac, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2He would still be a better draft choice than Darko Milicic was.
  • tacobellmanager, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Yawn. This kind of story happens every single year, and has happened for at least the past 15 or more. Every year someone thinks it'd be clever to do this, and every year a bunch of people who never saw the story the first time go OMFG isn't this cool and ironic haha dugg upmod.
  • rml1732, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Best comment of the week.
  • romistrub, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1go back to your corner you ***** spaz
  • Mahogany419, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Boy do I miss Rex Chapman
  • BadseedJR, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2Wow dude... just... wow.
  • walter909, on 05/09/2008, -0/+15'8 this has to be a typo...more like 6'8 if anything
  • timothiuz, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2wow
