Cmon? Who's your pick? I'm not comparing but I've said it in the past that J.R. has Kobe moves, check Kobe's vintage 97-98 360 lay-up against Hawks (#4 countdown - 1:16) that I've wanted to find for a long time... compare that to J.R.'s own 360... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBJ1SLOVvuY J.R. just gotta develop mid-range game, post up game, defense, and he's easily the Next Kobe. Too bad, he's too stubborn.

Afflalo is not clutch, as much as I like the guy, he never seems to make big shots.

I believe flagrant 2 (if it stands), results in automatic 1 game suspension at least

1 game suspension... or maybe 2 for J.R.

Look at the sucker

How can she be a Laker fan without Shaq Laker jersey?

Outside of Pop, Phil, Doc, Pat Riley, I would entrust J.R. to Thibs. He is a great coach who can push the right buttons and one that commands J.R.'s respect. One of the things I wanna see is J.R. playing for the coach he respects, it will bring the best out of him. I'm a big believer he has a lot more to offer than just a 15ppg 6th man.

I think LeBron is the smartest. To go with vision: - knowing where his teammates are (and will be), - figuring out opponents' weaknesses and destroying them, - figuring out his own weaknesses (before his opponents do) and fixing them - seemingly getting better when we say it's impossible for him to get better Guy is still having games of 35pts, 14rebds, 8assists on a team with 1 more superstar (Wade) and 1 more All Star (Bosh)? And he's the one seemingly responsible for Wade, Bosh and everyone else getting their numbers. He's been impressive.

You can't just have a very good woman coach to coach in NBA... motivating unmotivated millionaires athletes is a tall task. However, I believe it can be done... but only a select few can do it, those who have "mystic aura" and command respect... Pat Summit comes to mind (actually she might be the only one that can do it). Nancy Lieberman looks clueless too often for me. Doris Burke lmao If anyone does it, it's Pat Summit.

I bet any money during those periods, you were highly irritable or easily annoyed by anything... than during when you have the weed in supply.

With what they have to offer in trades, the Bulls should feel lucky if they can get J.R. Thibs is a defensive first coach, so it explains why he likes Bogan, the way he liked Tony Allen on Celtics. But now he's a HEAD coach, not just a defensive specialist assistant coach, he has to think about the offensive end too. J.R. has averaged at least 15.2 ppg off the bench in the previous 2 seasons before this one. This season he's averaging only 11.4 ppg, but at this point last year he also was averaging similar ppg, and it's becoming a norm since he became a Nugget he had offensive explosions after the All Star break every year. No matter if he has brain irregularities, 15 ppg off the bench don't lie. HIs instant offense production would be welcomed with open arms by Bulls, but I doubt Nuggets would be interested in any Bull offer.

He probably felt he's not gonna do it again, once in a lifetime thing... which explains it.

^I did weed for a year... you're "cool" now because you got your supply in check. Now I know you're a regular user, so try this, when you run out, try going weed-less for 1 week... and see how well you can control your emotions. It's intensity + side effects of drugs. Everyone knows Shawne is on drugs.

I don't really follow their stuff, but I am definitely a fan of this. Video is well done. Even better than the video is the beat, is just nizze

I am impressed Mahorn didn't even flinch when Thomas punched him. He didn't even bother to go at the small guy... what a tough guy. And few years later Mahorn would join them on Pistons lol

You're much more likely to be emotional if you're on drugs... Some people are naturally emotional without drugs, but with drugs they can't control their emotions. Uncontrolled anger is a common side effect from virtually any drug... even weed (which is supposed to make you laugh & happy). Try this (if you smoke weed regularly), stop smoking for 1 week, and see what it does to you.

Shawne Williams' fights are stemmed from the anger and moodswings sidefeffects of drugs.

All I can say is stats don't lie, except the +/- stat (lol) You gotta be crazy to take Kobe Bryant (31.3%) over Melo (47.7%) in clutch. Melo has had his shares of double-triple teams in clutch.

^So if any NBA player is guarded by more than 1 player in clutch and he keeps missing those shots, he should pat himself in the back, "I should cheer up. I'm missing because they guard me with more than 1 player"? Get outta here. Are you saying, "Kobe is actually clutch, but because teams are sending 2-3 players at him in clutch situations, he's missing the shots he was supposed to make"??

I thought I posted this back then... They don't cover Kobe with 3-4 defenders in clutch like you Laker fans want us to believe. It's a large sample size of his career game winning shots. Only 7 out of the 22 plays (31.8%) below, was Kobe guarded by more than 1 player.

AIM is goat... I remember doing mock GM talking trades with members here :o)

http://espn.go.com/blog/TrueHoop/post/_/id/24200/the-truth-about-kobe-bryant-in-crunch-time Kobe Bryant is 36 of 115 (31.3%) when Lakers trail by 1-2 pts or tied, in the final 24 secs, good for 25th in the L. Carmelo ranks 1st with 21 of 44 (47.7%) when Nuggets trail by 1-2 pts or tied, in the final 24 secs.

This. --- I don't want to compare heroin addiction with cigarette smoking addiction, but I'm going to share my story how I quit smoking... perhaps it can help if you relate the two... after all they're both addiction/ temptation. So I had been smoking in the past 2-3 years and when one night I felt chest pain... and difficulty to breathe... it went on for 2-3 straight nights, and I began to fear for my lungs. I started imagining when I am 55 years old, with breathing support, lying down on bed, weakened by years/ decades of smoking. The visualization was pretty real as my chest continued to ache... finally I decided to quit smoking. Only... it was hard. How can I JUST decide to quit it, when I was pretty much addicted? This is when you can try this method: 1.) Most people want to quit their smoking/ drugs addiction but they keep doing their bad habits... so they actually try to do something right, but they seem to always fail. When you fail, you lose. So what defeats them? It's called "TEMPTATION". 2.) Begin to visualize this TEMPTATION as SOMEONE or a person. - And now imagine if you're a smoker, and want to quit, and you keep lighting that cigarette. EVERY time you take out that ciggy stick and light it, "Temptation" just beats you, yet again. - And now imagine if you have wanted to quit 500 cigarette sticks ago, and have still not quit now, "Temptation" just beat you 500 times IN A ROW!!! Ask this to yourself: "Where's your pride, man? You gonna let someone beat you 500 times in a row??" If it's still hard to visualize, imagine your favorite sports team getting beat 500 CONSECUTIVE times by the same bloody team!!!! You just wanna shoot the other team's best player/ kidnap him right...? You will do ANYTHING so your team actually beats them the next time. 3.) Also imagine that "Temptation" doesn't just beat you, he beats everyone ALL OVER THE WORLD who wants to quit, but "can't". Visualize billions of smoking/drugs addicts, and how "Temptation" beats ALL OF THEM with seemingly greatest of ease. Everyone seems to FEAR "Temptation", and everyone bows to him when he passes. He then turns to the people, laughs and screams, "I WANT YOU SLAVES TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE POWERLESS AGAINST ME." The powerless people are holding out hope there might be a hero one day that can stand up to "Temptation", beats him, stops him, and just show to them that it can be done. 4.) Build up ALL your RAGE, ANGER, your MOST DESTRUCTIVE HATRED, toward... this person called "Temptation" who has beat you time and time again. 5.) Visualize yourself actually beating this "Temptation" with your fists and brute force to a pulp. Imagine the "Temptation" himself and everyone (all smoking/drug addicts) who are at the scene seem shocked at the turn of events. Intensify your attacks, and punch "Temptation" so thoroughly he begins to yelp, "help". 6.) When you're satisfied (if not, you can always go back to Step #5 ), shake "Temptation" and threaten him, "if I ever see you again, I'LL KILL YOU! You feel me/ you understand?" 7.) Now it may feel great to finally beat the team that had beaten you in the previous 500 times. But are you going to celebrate this one LONE win and be miserable in the next 500 games again? Are you going to settle for 1 win? Of course not. Even more impressive than 1 win is to COMPLETELY turn the table and actually DOMINATE the team that had previously dominated you. Now that would be the ultimate satisfaction! Only, how do you dominate "Temptation"? By defying his orders. You beat "Temptation" every time you defy his order. You don't want to do this 10 times, you don't want to do this 50 times, you don't want to do this 100 times, you don't want to return the favor and beat him 500 times, no. You want to shut "Temptation" and so thoroughly dominate him that he wishes he'd never met you, and never has to see you again. --- Yep, I used this method... and it works for me for quitting smoking. I'm dominating "Temptation" right now... I even once found an opened pack of ciggies with even a lighter. I took one cig out and almost put it in my mouth before my pride in my accomplishments so far against "Temptation" took over, and I decided I meant it when I said I wanted to dominate "Temptation". If you can't stop temptation, it controls you, it dictates you how you should live your life, it controls you like a puppet, it bosses you around "light that cigarette/ shoot up now", it toys with your pride... you position yourself lower than this lowly thing. By dominating (not only defeating) your temptation, you place your entity-being higher than it. Your pride has to be the driving force, to never let anyONE/ anyTHING dictate how you should live your life. Remember, temptation is NEVER a part of you. You, your body, your soul, and your pride/ dignity are fighting a battle against it. It's up to you if it's a winning/ losing one. Me, personally, I don't want to only win against "Temptation". I want to dominate it. Hope this somehow helps my friend

Saw T-Mac... he can still take people off the dribble, although you can tell he's lost some of the explosiveness. But a 60% T-Mac is still better than the average SGs on offense.
