Yeah, he's doing his best Bill Walton imitation right about now.

Every sport has their share of shady characters, but for whatever reason, folks love to hate on the NBA.

BlackAdder7 said:

Even though they DON'T promote Ron-Ron, even if they did, he's ALL you can name?

uPtoWnNY said:

Oh, come on, dawg...You KNOW the reason some people love to hate the NBA.

uPtoWnNY said:

4 some BLACK reason?

BlackAdder7 said:

I don't know if the league EVER promoted Ron.....refresh my memory.

MuthaFunka said:

I feel bad for the dude....he's got skills, although he looked like he had some serious butterflies...

still, maybe its just me, but I'm thinking seperated at birth....

reneGade20 said:

Just wrong.

Ouch.....lol

MuthaFunka said:

yeah.. but even they too crashed and burned lol

Graycap23 said:

oh no... leave Iverson alone lol

Flowers2 said:

What? WHO crashed and burned? Not the Lakers!

MuthaFunka said:

... where's the ring? .. oh I am talking about this passed season

Flowers2 said:

Hey, youth was served, I'm glad KG got his ring, HE certainly deserved it, so it's all good. Now, it's time for #15 for the Lakers.

Graycap23 said:

c'mon..Ron was going to bring the bulls back to the top of the league. The game has become a showcase for not passing the ball, lots of dunks and little team play. What made the lakers so great? a great point guard who distributed the ball, named Erwin Johnson. What made the knicks so great? team play by frazier, reed, etc. Now it's all about who can make the fiercest face and act liked they've cured cancer after a dunk. Same thing with the NFL, after a cornerback makes a tackle, or a wide receiver catches the ball. It's selfish play and they are doing what their jobs call for them to do. Not who can celebrate nothing the best. That's part of the thug mentalitly.

BlackAdder7 said:

Dude, when in the hell was THAT ever believed?

BlackAdder7 said:

Your post made me think of this article from ESPN....kinda dovetails on what you're saying...http://sports.espn.go.com...ortCat=nfl

...I agree to a point, in that on Saturday, as I watched LSU get dismantled by UGA, one of the D-lineman made a tackle for loss, and got up doing all the air-punching and celebrating like he just recovered a fumble in the endzone for a game winner...and at that point they were down by 21...it just pissed me off because I'm yelling at my TV "You're losing!! Just make the fucking play and move on!!"

I don't agree with the thuggery image....I tend to drift to an "ass-holery" image...

lol at Eddy Curry for being 'stunned' at this news. They're paying this load millions, and he can't make a committment to staying in shape and working on his game. Waste of space. Another one of Isiah's brilliant moves.

reneGade, have you picked up NBA 2K9 yet?

uPtoWnNY said:

Is that the one with the daily updated rosters? Not yet...I'm prolly gonna get it for my son since he's more into the PS3 for gaming...as opposed to my old cheap ass using it for my blu-ray addiction....

Is it good?

reneGade20 said:

With updated rosters and the right sliders(I use Aaron's v.2 from operationsports.com), this is as close to NBA sim as you can get. On DEFAULT sliders, the CPU never misses an scores too much in the paint. F-ck NBA Live - EA Sports is garbage(only reason I play Madden is it's the only football game in town).

I'm so happy that the season is back! The Blazers looked pretty terrible last night, though. Let's hope the Jazz can stay afloat without D-Will for a few weeks.

Hawks 99 Magic 85

We're going all the way!


































To the first round of the playoffs.

The Jazz eked out a win in their opener over Denver. They need Deron Williams back with a quickness.

Lakers. Just beat some team. I think it was by a hundred points. Aw, who cares, eh? Ownage.

MuthaFunka said:

7 players in double digits for scoring and Kobe only played 30 minutes. Impressive, but still early days.

Fauxie said:

Yeah, it was the lowly Clips, but great teams are supposed to stomp the weaker ones, so at least they did that.

Last night; Yao(30 points, 13 boards), Artest(29 points) in Houston's 112-102 win over Dallas. Dayum. Rockets finally have that third scorer - I'm telling ya, these cats are dangerous.

...Until:

- Yao goes OW
- TMack turns into TBack
- Ron-Ron wants to rap again

...All will happen by the end of November.
