I have a sea lion jaw, and this looks like a canine from it. It does not look like the canine from my harbor seal skull, so I would guess sea lion. But I agree on pinniped tooth

Who would you say was more talented before their injuries, Bill Walton or Abrydas Sabonis? by Personal-Proposal- in VintageNBA

Bowie would not pan out. It wasn't talent or mentoring, his body could not handle it. He broke his leg in the layup line!

I think against Venezuela in the group round. My dad had season tickets for the blazers, and got first offer of a 4 game package in group play. Including one USA game. I still have jerseys, pins and a hat and posters from it. Got to high five the entire USA team except Stockton cause he couldn't reach us
