The World's Oldest 23 Year Old

Nikoloz Tskitishvili was just waived by the Blazers today after being picked up by them just last Friday. Nikoloz has now been under contract by five different NBA teams, and he is only 23! With career averages of 2.9 ppg and 1.8 rpb I think it is safe to label the man a bust. But is it too early for such a label? He is only 23! If he had gone to college he would have been drafted in this 06 draft. So maybe it isn't time to call him a bust yet, but it is awfully close.

And in an unrelated matter, this video is for your viewing pleasure. Watching this gives me such a nostalgic feeling...and yes "Bo Knows"!
