SEEING DOUBLE AT VERIZON CENTER
About an hour and a half ago, I picked up my trusty camcorder and walked over to the arena to grab some footage to post later today tomorrow morning. As I walked through the locker room on my way to the court I saw Donell Taylor in the weight room lifting. So I said hello and kept walking through wondering if practice was already over. Nope, locker room was empty and the sounds of basketballs could be heard from the main court.
So I walked out and watched the guys shooting around and noticed a few minutes later that Donell was back on the court. “How’d he get past me…”, I wondered, but didn’t give it much thought. I walked out a little further and and watched the team go through a spirited shooting contest when I turned around and saw Donell sitting in the stands….and turned again and saw Donell on the floor.
Twins need to let people know when their other twin is showing up*. It helps maintain sanity.
Anyway, here’s some footage of Donell and twin brother Ronell talking to Alex Parker from ABC7.
* Donell isn’t the only Wizard with a twin - Jarvis Hayes’ twin brother Jonah stops by everyone once in a while. But you can tell who’s who with the Hayes twins. Several of us did double takes in confusion today.

Me too W4L. I’m the resident car nut here. I’ll probably devote more time to blogging about that some time soon.

This is why I wonder Jarvis Hayes this season, honestly, he was not good this season, sometime I just wonder maybe the guy was in teh Floor was not him, maybe it was his twin brother, (because his brother play basketball as well) don’t you think so? wiszardsdotcom

Anybody know how good of shooter Hayes was in college? If he was good then, maybe the Wiz should offer him a contract to try one more year (but not the option the Wiz holds for $3.5 million).
