Rafael Araujo Shatters Backboard In Brazil
Remember Rafael Araujo who was selected ahead of Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, J. R. Smith, Dorell Wright, and Jameer Nelson with the 8th selection in the 2004 draft by the Toronto Raptors?

Where Are They Now: Rafael Araujo

Interesting recap on the Jazz' Rafael Araugo fouling the Hawks Marvin Williams late in the game with Utah up by 34. The Lion in Oil blog has video from an extremely non-PC Jazz fan and also the readio call from Hawks broadcaster, Steve Holman. Some of this falls into the Tim Hardaway category of putting your foot in your mouth.
