Soulstation1 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4350557 Shocker LBJ smoked some weed in high school Who hasn't smoked some weed in high school? Quote
Matthew Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) The league and television schedule for the NBA was released yesterday -- geesh, just put cameras on Kobe and LBJ 24/7 and be done with it? PS: Nice pre-pre-season handicaping by Bruce Jenkins. Another PS: Did anyone catch Marbury's performance on his 24 hour webcast? I keep reading very strange reports.... Edited August 5, 2009 by Matthew Quote
Noj Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Marbury's webcast was high comedy. Put it this way: everything that's happened in his career made perfect sense to me after watching about ten minutes of it. Quote

How does Boston keep this guy after this? Quote
Noj Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Wow. That guy is seriously not all there. Quote
Quincy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) The league and television schedule for the NBA was released yesterday -- geesh, just put cameras on Kobe and LBJ 24/7 and be done with it? I find it amusing that the headline on Yahoo (courtesy of AP) is "Bryant, O'Neal To Face Off On Christmas." Isn't there some James guy on Cleveland? Edited August 5, 2009 by Quincy Quote
Matthew Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Quincy: Do you follow the Blazers? Supposedly Roy is going to sign a contract extension soon. I think that Portland might be very good this season. Edited August 5, 2009 by Matthew Quote
Quincy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Quincy: Do you follow the Blazers? Supposedly Roy is going to sign a contract extension soon. I think that Portland might be very good this season. Yup, I finally went "native" with basketball a few years ago (I've been a gypsy ever since the St. Louis Spirits disappeared. ) I'm kind of relieved the only big change was getting Miller at PG. He's a true point guard and a fine team player. While I like Blake a lot it would probably be better for him to with the second unit. The reports about Greg Oden's play during the summer gives reasons to optimistic and to not be at the same time. Oh, and yes, I have high hopes. I hope they can at least scare some teams deeper into the playoffs. Edited August 5, 2009 by Quincy Quote

Oden can't play as bad as he did last year, though he is getting close to forty by now. Quote
Aggie87 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Big Ben signed with the Pistons for his 2nd go round. Can he still contribute? He was about to retire. :bwallace2: Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Ugh. Can the Pistons get a real center for Christ's sake? Ben was great in 2004. He's declined every year since. He will be nothing but a money-hole for the Pistons. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 Happy 50th birthday to Earvin Magic Johnson!! The greatest player ever!! Quote

Matthew Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 Happy 50th birthday to Earvin Magic Johnson!! The greatest player ever!! Magic was the player I enjoyed watching the most. I third the sentiment! I loved watching Magic play, for me, he's the best player ever. Quote
Chalupa Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Love Magic, but I have to go w/ #23 from Chicago as best ever. Magic Johnson agrees too.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jAbDdCz49Y As does Kobe.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WxHQCZ4geQ&NR=1 Edited August 16, 2009 by J.H. Deeley Quote

paul secor Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 M.J. was great, perhaps the greatest. I just enjoyed watching Magic more than any other player I've seen. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 I saw Magic play in Phoenix two times The second time Magic and Riley were tossed from the game The other time we sat in the 13th or 14th row center court!! Magic would of had at least one more ring if he didn't get sidetracked by all the ladies Check over on espn for a pretty good article on Earvin Quote
Noj Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 As much as I hate the term, Jordan was the greatest "closer" ever. He was the most well-rounded player I've ever seen, with virtually no weakness. Prolific scorer, one of the most explosive dunkers ever, a lock down defender, efficient passer...Jordan did it all. Magic was the greatest passer I've ever seen, unsurpassed by any player in terms of floor vision. Magic was also as clutch as any player I've ever seen, and consistently won games from the moment he came into the NBA. His rookie season is the greatest season any NBA rookie has ever had, culminating in a World Championship and a Finals MVP award in which he played center for the injured Kareem Abdul-Jabaar to clinch the series. That's something that will likely never be matched. Quote
Matthew Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Ricky Rubio is staying in Spain until 2011 and not going to the Timberwolves. I don't think that's too bad of a set up for Minnesota, Rubio can work on his game for two years, get stronger and a better outside shot, then come and play in the NBA. T-Wolves not too bad off with Jonny Flynn at the point, he seems like a good draft pick. Quote

T-Wolves not too bad off with Jonny Flynn at the point, he seems like a good draft pick. I hope it works out that way - otherwise that's an awful high draft pick to spend on somebody who may or may not ever play for the team, and may or may not develop how they want him to. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 He can't be any worse than Darko. Or Kwame. Quote
Aggie87 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Bruce Bowen retired today from the NBA. Despite his reputation (some earned, some not so much, IMO) as a dirty player, he was a lockdown defender. 8-time all NBA defensive team. He was also a very good 3 point shooter. I liked the guy, and I'd venture to guess that every other team in the league would have been glad to have him back in his prime. Edited September 4, 2009 by Aggie87 Quote
