i am batman u die now

I just feel bad for Real Deal. This site is so clean looking. Why doesn't anybody wanna talk ball anymore around here?

Yeah, like I never was a major poster here but how hard is it to at least visit the forum every couple of days? Internet can be on your phone, computer, anything - what's the excuse?

Was ecstatic to find out that the sites back, bummed to see how dead it is.

Awesome signature.

http://themostrequested.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/130555482_crop_650x440.jpg Yes, we're all familiar with Allen Iverson. Iverson is one of the greatest players in NBA history. His prolific scoring ability and his leading aspirations where one of the things that made him who he is today. Regardless of his sub-par shooting percentages; his scoring was the only reason Philly made it to the finals. Mutombo obviously helped, but without Iverson, they'd be in serious trouble. Iverson had a 40 point game in that final series I believe. Iverson may be famous for his killer crossover and his ball hawk like hands, but what plenty of Iverson doubters remember about him, they remember him for his personality. Allen was born in a rough part of town, he was raised in a broken home and was a convicted felon before his arrival in the NBA. Remember when Iverson tried the rap game? Iverson famously annoyed NBA commissioner David Stern when an album he had made under the soubriquet "Jewelz" was said to contain offensive and hateful lyrics about homosexuals. That was a disaster, plus, let's go back a second, let's review his felonies. Some charges where dropped, others weren't. You could see his previous record would make you assume he'd be.. well, guilty! Now sadly, he can barely play in Besitaks, and is struggling financially, so I've heard. 14/02/1993: Given a 15 year jail sentence, with 10 years suspended, for maiming someone with a chair at a bowling alley. Served 4 months before receiving a pardon, and a quashed conviction. 4th August 1997: Convicted of carrying an unlicensed concealed weapon and marijuana possession after the car he was riding as a passanger in was stopped for speeding. In a plea bargain, pleaded no contest to the gun charge so that the drug charge would be dropped. Sentenced to 100 hours community service, 3 years probation and 2 years of drug testing. July 2002: Arrested and charged on 14 counts, including 12 felonies, after storming into his cousins apartment with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. All charges eventually dropped due to inconsistent prosecution testimonies. After reading those factual details about Iverson's lack of senseability, you can presume that he is, and forever will be, a drama queen. His play on the court will always be hindered by the legacy he left behind off the court. Regardless of how you think of Iverson, you will think about his troubles. Imagine what Iverson could of been, if he had been better off the court? He IS an iconic legend of 2000's culture, but is that a good thing? Was he an example? Was he a GOOD one, at that? Does his barrage of fans come off as people in denial, or people who're passionate? What if basketball was just a game? If Iverson wasn't hogged down by the media, would he have been such a mess? Sure, was it his fault he was badly spoken? Most of the time, yes. Iverson has swag. He had his very unique persona that can never be duplicated. Loud mouthed winner who would die on the court for you. The most impressive player at his size in recent memory. Truly athletic and truly talented, was Allen Iverson.

Me? I don't know, this isn't my opinion, I'm just posting the article.

JR better be coming on board, cause if not LAC is in deep trouble.

Agreed. I do somewhat miss George Hill, but I do realize Leonard's potential exceeds Hill's by a significant margin.

Oh no, I didn't mean to be sarcastic! I understand that.

Meh, made a more "attractive" title.

http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lc3wdl7mTl1qzx3jto1_500.jpg Greg Oden's allegedly suffered another setback, delaying his return even more, and undoubtedly causing uproar and doubt from Blazer fans. Oden was taken over future (if nothing goes wrong) hall of famer Kevin Durant. Greg Oden was very impressive in college, people and analysts where pegging Oden as one of this era's best big men, but sadly his very robust injury list caught up with him at the worst time. Let's look at the list. •In sixth grade, Oden underwent surgery to repair his hip leaving one leg longer than the other. (Not a physician, but have to wonder if this had any impact on the following knee issues). •His senior year of high school, Oden underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist which kept him out until December for his freshman year of college. •In September 2007 he underwent microfracture surgery to repair his right knee missing the entire 2007-2008 season. •In October 2008 Andrew Bynum land on his foot missing two weeks. •In February 2009 he bumped knees with Corey Maggette and chipped his left patella missing three weeks. •In December 2009 he landed without contact on his left leg and badly fractured his left patella. His recovery was projected to take him up to training camp of 2010. •After missing training camp, preseason, and the start of the regular season, it was announced in November 2010 that Oden would undergo microfracture surgery on his left knee and would miss the entire 2010-2011 season. Amazing. I'm not a huge Blazer fan, however I'm a little peaved at the Blazers organization for not being a bit more candid about his chances of playing this season. I feel like they kind of lead us on, knowing the whole time, or at least the last couple months that he wasn't going to play this season. Why bother resigning a players who's injury history would persuade you to barely give him an invite to training camp? Going back to his childhood , he had physical issues. His body is not rightly conditioned to sustain peak form during an 82 game season. He had a hip dysfunction in grade, making one of his legs (the thing that's bothering him the most and evidently ruining his career) longer then the other. Imagine how stressful that is on his joints? Doesn't that mean one leg has to support a larger amount of weight? Evidently, his career is most likely over. The tradegy of Greg Oden is on par with Dajuan Wagner, who (like Oden) was plauged by injuries and had his career cut insanely short. In memory of all these guys: Bender Wagner Livingston McGrady All those guys, who either where driven out of the league by injuries, or had their play hinder substantially, add Greg Oden to that list. In closing; here's a few things to remember Oden by.
