that was a good one, props

hockey ****ing rules you poser...

Yeah. Ironic thing about that shot was that Ron Harper was supposed to cover Jordan on the in bounds. Harper and Ehlo got crossed up on the play, and Ehlo was the closest to him. Harper was obviously a better match up, but Ehlo wasn't in position, anyway. So even if Ehlo had better defensive skills, it was more of a team breakdown than Craig's inability to guard Jordan. But as far as Lebron James is concerned, I do not see him very self centered at all. He always talks about teamwork and making sure everyone else is ready. That's why I think he's going to be different than Iverson or Bryant or any other young prodigy.

As for my streetball comparison, when I was growing up, players respected the game, their coaches, and the cities they played for. You never heard of them punching a coach, starting fights on the court, or getting in to trouble hanging around gangs or making a rap record even. They played basketball, and that was it. They trusted their coaches, played hard, and didn't act like jerks. Sure, there were a few rotten apples, but mostly they really were people you would not your kids looking up to. The NBA was magical in the 1980's. Just the Celtics and Lakers alone made it fantastic. But the Hawks with my favorite coach, the "Czar" of the telestrator, and then of my Cavs.... Portland had Clide Drexler, and yes, as much as I hated him, M.J. in his prime (should have never came back to the Bullets -- to me they aren't the Wizzards). I could go on, but I won't. Just wanted to gauge what the country thinks about Lebron.

Ah, yes, the good ol' days. Oh yeah, it's Clyde, hehe. He was my favorite player back in the day, definitely a class act. He carried himself back then like Tim Duncan does today. Everyone was all MJ crazed, I was Clyde "The Glide" crazed. I lived in Portland for about 6 years so I had it bad. Steve Colter, Kiki Vandeweghe, Jim Paxon, Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth, Terry Porter, Buck Williams, and Sam Bowie, those were the days.

:oh: i like golf... and you should have seen iverson in his g-town days he was a pure point point guard his game was well rounded... no braids no tats no money just playin the best he could for john tompison(sp?).. thats the iverson i love to watch

I disagree w/your Iverson statement. His game at G-town was the same as it is today, the only difference was he had more capable teammates and got them involved more. But it is a trip to look at pics of him in college, short hair faded up, no tats, no facial hair, I used to call him the babyface asassin cause he'd kill em on the court.

yer an idiot... :D

I think baseball has the best mixture of players. You have Whiteys, AAmericans, Asians (Japanese and Korean players), Hispanics and Pacific Islanders (I can think of a few).

Just last night I was at the Giants game and there where no white players in the starting lineup.




In regards to Basketball.

I still not intirely sure Lebron is going be successful. Besides the fact that he has a tremendous amount of hype built up around him, he needs a certain type of offense to use his passing skills.

Too much of NBA offense these days is throwing up shots 20+ ft away or going to one man and hopeing he does something.

:werd: and we are filling it up with europeans quickly :chuckles:
