TORRE JOHNSON CHOSEN AS MVP...

[soulchild66]

For those of you who believe in 2nd & 3rd chances, I just wanted to share the recent accomplishments of former Panther, Torre Johnson because Milwaukee is still home and there is still Panther pride! Torre currently plays in Denmark for the Bakken Bears and since joining the starting five; the Bears are on a 3-game winning streak, knocking off the previously unbeaten Svendborg Rabbits.

(Danish to English Translation)
Two home games in four days, two victories of different characteristics. Thursday, it was 92-85 over Svendborg in a gripping battle, and Sunday with the Bears won 115-69 over the entire Aabyhøj.

Common to the fighting was that the audience chose Torre Johnson as' battle-MVP Bears' in the Bakken Bears' and Danish Auditing vote.

In both games, Johnson was his team's top scorer by 22 points against Svendborg and 23 against Aabyhøj.

I've spoken with Torre recently and that year or so in prison did help him put things in perspective. I'm glad to see that he's moved on and has salvaged his talent.

Here's to hoping he becomes an MVP off the court as well.

Very good to hear.

The Svendborg Rabbits may have the coolest name in professional sports.

I hope this is the second chance (or third or fourth, depending on how you are counting) that Torre seizes. He was a fun kid and a heck of a talent. Some guys just don't get it until later -- I hope Torre has finally gotten it.

Good for Torre. Jail time sometimes change a man for the better.

Ya gotta love the translation from Danish to English..."two victories of different characteristics...Common to the fighting...audience chose...." Hilarious, at least to me.
