Nas sold 139,000 1st week, becoming the first rapper to ever have a #1 album in 3 different decades. G-O-D S-O-N they'll be none after.

Yeah, but that's when the camera is zoomed in. There's like 25 when it zooms out. Still a little creepy, though.

According to David Aldridge on Twiitter (link below). Awesome signing. Great value for an awesome defender, hustle player and athlete. Exactly what they need off the bench. http://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/

It had a 6 mile blast radius, but there is a much larger area that would be affected by the radiation. I'm just thinking it through too much, though lol.

He probably was. I'm sure they made him see a doctor ASAP to diagnose whatever illness he has (which could help the defense), and then medicate him properly. It's not just "the government" who forcibly drug people...go to any psych ward, they do the same thing.

I actually never met anyone who looked like me, but last year I met this old fireman from Hoboken, NJ and he said he has a nephew that looks just like me. I kinda laughed it off, but he showed me the picture and it looked EXACTLY like me, just with a clean shave and longer hair. Kinda bugged me out...

...well, I agree with that video more than his take on Nas' Life Is Good, anyway...

Yes, he was. With the Magic he had so little talent, and with the Rockets his teammates were either extremely old (04-05...Sura, Barry, Howard, Wesley, etc..), offensively incompetent (06-07), or Yao wasn't around for the playoffs (07-08...that year they had a serious shot at getting to the Finals if they were healthy). The issue that Melo has is that he really doesn't do much beside score. In basketball circles, T-Mac is far more respected as a player than Melo because he was multi-faceted. Melo's career path is more like Dominique Wilkens...great scorer, but didn't do a ton else, and he only got past the first round once I believe.

Absolutely. In 02-03 he was about as good as I've ever seen from a perimeter player since MJ. And his Rocket years are mad underrated because of the injuries and playoff failures. He carries those teams on his back.

I don't really consider that an excuse. Kobe had a few of his best seasons effiency-wise (including his best in 06-07) wish Odom, TRASH and company. And keep in mind, Wade was over .560-.570 TS% with a broken down Jermaine O'Neal as his 2nd option. And as I said in my first post, Mac's 02-03 season I'd probably give him the edge offensively over Wade's best season, but over a 3-4 year prime period, Wade definitely was the more effective offensive player IMO. And this is coming from the biggest T-Mac fan here. I understand that, but if the guy makes bad decisions because of that versatility, it results in him being less effective over an 82-game season (which T-Mac was). And as I said before, Wade didn't need that versatility in his prime years to beat some terrific defenses in the post-season, where everyone gameplans to stop you. So, in this discussion, that ability to score from anywhere isn't exactly as important as it usually would be. And there is no way in hell I would take Durant over LeBron offensively...not even close. Maybe as a scorer (maybe), but LeBron can do so many more things on that end at an incredible level that Durant can (ballhandling, playmaking, posting up, etc...).

Yep. That's another scene that kind of bothered me. If an atomic bomb blasted that close to a major city, that city would still probably get major radiation from the blast. Wish they didn't make it an atomic bomb, I wish they had some other form of destroying the city.

There's a pretty big difference in efficiency between T-Mac and Kobe. T-Mac, besides 02-03 (which I mentioned in my above post), hovered around .530 TS% during his best years...Kobe was at around .565 TS% during his best years. Wade's around .580 TS% during his best years. Wade got to the line more than T-Mac and was a much better decision-maker when it came to shot selection, and it showed up in efficiency, which ultimately measures how successul you are at scoring over an 82-game season. Do you take that over simply having more variety in your arsenal? I do. With Kobe, it is different because the efficiency gap is a lot smaller. The only time having more variety is important is when you face defenses that can take away your strengths. However, Wade has completely destroyed some of the best defenses we have seen the last decade in the post-season...the '06 Pistons, '10 Celtics, '11 Mavs (might be a reach there), etc... That Celtic series he did it with literally no help.

As much as it hurts me to say it, Wade. In their prime, they were both 30PPG scorers, with T-Mac being the more versatile of the two, and Wade being more efficienct. In that area. At T-Mac's absolute peak (02-03), I'd say this area is a wash, but overall in their primes Wade was the better scorer. Wade got more assists, but I think T-Mac had the better court vision and was ultimately the better passer. T-Mac was the better rebounder due to his height. The only area that truly seperates the two is defense. Once T-Mac had to take on greater offensive responsibility, his defense steady plummeted. Wade was the much more aggressive defender of the two, and also better when it comes to fundementals. He knows how to be in better defensive position than T-Mac did, is better helping alter shots coming from the weakside, and effects passing lanes more than Mac ever did. Also, Wade I think is simply a better leader. T-Mac has never been a very vocal guy, and when the Magic were good they had the voice of Darrel Armstrong leading them along. Wade, meanwhile, took the burden on himself to lead the Heat, and what that resulted in was two seasons where the team clearly exceeded expectation.

Lol what do you think math is for?

Just came back, was a little disappointed... -Movie fell into the same trap that Spiderman 3 did; too many characters to develop. They did a decent job of developing each character, but it made the movie too busy and unfocused, and took a little attention off characters that were worthy of more screentime. -Wasn't Catwoman a dyke? -Not a fan of them tying everything back to the Legion of Shadows. It makes TDK seem so out of place in the trilogy, and personally I wasn't a huge fan of that storyline in the first place. They should have went with a mercenary villain like the Riddler, who would have his own unique storyline. -Baine was really good as a villain, but because of the mask and how the story eventually unfolded, I just didn't get into his character a ton. Maybe I'm just greedy because of Heath Ledger's joker. -I didn't like how they made certain aspects of the movie a little too far-fetched and "super-hero" like. The beauty of TDK, besides the motorcycle, is how everything, for the most part, was completely plausible in real life (I mean, as much as any action movie can be, anyway). Overall, it was a really solid movie, along the lines of Batman Begins, but it definitely ain't in the same league as TDK. Not that I expected it to be, though.

3 of his 4 last full seasons the Nuggets were top 5 in the league in assists, too. When Billups came aboard and Miller dipped, they became more iso-oriented and the assists went from top 5 to 18th in his last full season (the season you mentioned), but Melo had his career high average (28.9PPG) on a team that was 3rd in the league in assists.

Before Melo, the Knicks played very similarly to the Melo Nuggets...Amare was getting a ton of iso possessions (averaged like 25PPG due to it), but the Knicks were a free-flowing offense predicated on ball-movement that primarily led to 3-pointers. That is exactly what the Melo Nuggets were, except Melo caught the ball in different spots, and did a little less than Amare as far as off-ball movement is concerned. Either way, neither of those 2 teams were iso offenses, despite the star player getting a ton of iso touches. Nope, just willing to see how far you'd go to press your opinion despite the facts and over-whelming majority disproving it. :glasses:

My tat's are already on the database <_< Sucks getting arrested.

I liked him at first, but he's growing a little weary on me. He's a very good lyracists with very good rhyme schemes and flow, and he's also a solid producer with some pretty eye-catching videos...but dude has to stop going after everyone else in the industry. It's getting redundant, and some of his shit is a little corny. In order to diss other rappers and people like he does, he needs a catelog to back his shit up, and that catelog can't just be him bitching about the industry. He has to make shit that changes and impacts the industry through his art, and that's what I am waiting on when it comes to him. Had I not heard any Hopsin before hearing this song, I'd say it's really solid.

I totally feel he should go to jail to be 'rehabilitated'.... By that, I mean his ass rehabilitated by a few jail [expletive]as and a shank to the kidney. Much worse than any current form of death sentance in this country.

Would you consider the Knicks before Melo, when they won 10 straight games or whatever, to be an iso offense? Because that's exactly what Melo's Nuggets were. Melo got his touches and iso opportunities, but the overall offense was based around ball-movement. The sky is blue.

WHAT!?!?!?!?! This is almost as bad as when they used that new ball at the beginning of the 06-07 season that would just die when it hit the rim.
