This is all making the Raptors dream of soaring high like the Trail Blazers did after acquiring Ah Gan, and the Raptors' general manager is none other than the former Pistons star, the "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas, who was almost elbowed to death by Ah Gan in the Finals.
No one understands the power of Ah Gan better than Thomas, and he hopes for Camby's growth, even if he could reach seventy to eighty percent of Ah Gan's level.
But time and time again, facts have proven that there might be a backup for Michael Jordan, but there will never be a second Ah Gan.
Camby, like many "Ah Gan II," can only mimic in form but cannot capture the essence, let alone replicate his performance and dominance.
Putting other things aside, a month into the season, Camby began to miss games due to injuries; the two are not even on the same level in terms of physical endurance.
