Mark there was someone on the team broke up with kim card yen. Darya jim cardand is not finding anyone today when she puts that she is single online. Shes obviously broken up about it. President obama is probably the best basketball player in the white house ever. Gary well i never seen Richard Nixon play so its just a guess.
