Where Are They Now: Wayne Simien
It’s hard to forget the name Wayne Simien. And I doubt anyone in Kansas ever will. This January, the 28-year-old had his No. 23 jersey hoisted into the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse with the hardware to deserve it. Consensus First-Team All-American. Big 12 Player of the Year. A 110-28 record from 2002-05 with the Jayhawks, [...]

Simien To Be Honored Tonight
Wayne Simien was destined for greatness after scoring 25 points and grabbing eight rebounds in his first exhibition game as a freshman in 2001 against EA Sports. Then, in his regular-season debut versus No. 23 Wake Forest, Simien was again all the rage with a double-double (10 points and 11 rebounds) in just 15 minutes.

Wayne Simien Is Just Fine Without the NBA
Remember Wayne Simien? Circa 2005, Simien was a double-double machine, averaging 20.3 points and 11 rebounds for the Kansas Jayhawks. He was a first-team All-American and the Miami Heat picked him No. 29 in the 2005 NBA draft.

NBA Players Betting on Teammates Fidelity? Sounds Like Easy Money
When I first read this story on Jocks and Stiletto Jill I thought it had to be a joke.
The reason being the odds of a athlete being faithful is about as a long of a shot as Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson.
As I continued reading the more interesting the story became. Take a look about former NBA Player Wayne Simien (Simien is now a pastor and to be perfectly honest I don’...

Five Player Trade Upgrades Heat's Talent, Gives Timberwolves Express Ticket to Draft Lottery
In the wake of an 0-7 preseason and facing the real possibility of not making the playoffs this season, the Miami Heat shipped Antoine Walker, Michael Doleac, Wayne Simien and a conditional first round draft pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ricky Davis and Mark Blount. It is amusing to see this referred to as a "blockbuster" deal--none of the players has been an All-Star in...

ASK IRA: Heat: From 15 Strong to 3 Strongest?
Q: In 2006 it was 15 Strong. Now is it 3 really strong? — Jeffrey.
A: Based on the approach at the end of the Bulls series, I’d say eight strong, with Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers also handling significant roles. But with Dallas likely to turn to zone defense, James Jones also could emerge as a factor. And don’t overstate the 15 Strong, with Wayne...
