Welcome back TJ! And thanks for posting some good Ovie news. :)
I LOL at the mention of the photo of him in the Buffalo Sabres outfit! Ovie says his Dad bought the jacket for $200 because Ovie liked the emblem.
I love how he will not say anything bad about Bykov. He's so good and classy (but still Ovi) in both of those interviews. LeBron, take notes sucker ;-)
