I was shooting around today and the most I got in a row was 21. Out of 100 I ended up getting 84/100. I was shooting pretty good today.

I like seeing them at the games because it's fun to yell things at them along with the old drunk bastards. Not to mention camel toe is never a bad thing! On a hot girl that is lol. Before I hit post I could already see someone posting that picture of the black girl who is Snorlax

6'1 170 Position: played either Forward spot when I played, but it's just the blacktop for me now. Pros -Good mid range shot and touch around the rim -good passer -Hustles, I dive on that blacktop for those balls -Smart defensive player making right handed guys go left and making players go to the baseline and things like that -good rebounder for my size still trying to bulk up though -great at posting up whether the result be a fadaway midrange shot, hook shot, or a mchale Cons -Bad three point shot, I probably shoot 25% from there and that's when I'm open. -Not the best dribbler when pressured(I'm spending a lot of time though doing dribbling drills recently to improve this) -Not the best slasher -Not assertive enough at times and relucant to take things on my own when I got scrubs on my team taking retarded shots. -feet arn't as quick as I'd like them to be so sometimes the really fast guys can do a move and get around me really fast defensively -when i'm in the post sometimes i hesitate to block a penetrator's shot or at least alter it enough for them to screw up. Well at least this helped me evaluate what I need to work on lol

OWNED!!!!! DON'T DROP THE SOAP PLAX LOL

Steve Nash was in the ending credits as an "Executive Producer" if I remember right. I was wondering what was up when I saw that at first since Nash was nowhere to be seen in the show, but I guess this explains it. Hardly anyone would watch the show if it was Steve Nash instead of Shaq and it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. Nash should be happy his idea didn't go to waste.

Boston : 2-0 Cleveland : 1-1 Magic : 1-1 Spurs : 1-3

Small nitpick, but the Hornets didn't reach the 2nd round both of the last two years. They lost to Dallas last year in the first. And if Brand returns to 20-10 form with solid defense and Iggy's game doesn't suffer, then they are definetly a a top 10 trio. That's a big If though. Good article

Yeah way to make a story out of nothing. I hope he doesn't leave though. The Nets got a nice young team and their going to have a ton of space. Harris, Lee, Wade, Lopez is a nice young core. Just need a 4 guy. New York though has nothing. I can't see him leaving Miami for that poophole. If Wade leaves the Heat though he is making my "[expletive] list"

-Noone here cares that he broke Wilt's high school scoring record. -Shaq threw elbows at Dikembe that entire series and performed way better than Kobe did then. However unlike Bryant Shaq did not get booed. In fact there were more cheers than boo's when Shaq was introduced this year when the Suns visited Philly. That's because Orlando has a reason to hate LeBron for the antics he's done. There's no real reason for Philadelphia to hate Kobe(a local product) other than his douschebag attitude which is what this comes down to. I'd be willing to bet that LeBron is applauded and loved mostly everywhere he goes though by opposing team fans. At least more so than Bryant. And I wouldn't put Kobe on Barry Bonds/TO level, but I'm not sure if there's any other athlete that gets more hate that isn't a team chemistry killer/cheater.

Can't wait to see the Vikings get owned. Favre is turning 40 in October and ended the year horribly last year. He is going to throw most picks in the league if he plays enough games. You can quote me on that. If this was 5 years ago though the Vikings would most likely win the Superbowl.

LeBron, because he is more likable, provides the most highlights, and is the most physically dominant player in the league right now. Not to mention he's much more exciting to watch than Kobe Bryant is at this time to the typical fan. When the Cavs came to Philly everyone was going "wowowowow" over LeBron doing his warm up dunks and what not. The reaction Kobe got was getting booed everytime he touched the ball. And this is in his hometown too. When the topic of Kobe is brought up to a bunch of guys the rapist thing is still always thrown in there somewhere. The reason Kobe sells more jersey's is because he's on the Lakers which is the most bandwagoned team in the NBA and he changed his jersey like two years ago. LeBron has become a bigger household name than Kobe. Other than haters on the basketball forums I don't think I've talked to one person who gave a crap over not shaking hands with Orlando and most people arn't aware of the MVP shirt or the check my stats shirt probably. I don't see how LeBron's MVP shirt is any different than Kobe's shirt of the 4 rings.

Too bad the Angels are still going to get owned in the playoffs.

I'm probably the complete opposite of shy when I'm around my friends because for whatever reason they give me confidence, but when I'm alone and don't know anyone I'm definetly a shy guy.

No Duncan, KG, Dirk are all clearly better than Gasol and you could make cases for guys like Bosh too. As long as KG's injury isn't going to be a constant problem for the rest of his career I will easily take him for one season over Gasol. Offensively I would give the slight edge to Gasol, but KG's defense is so much better it makes more of an impact on the game than Gasol ever would. Pau Gasol won 0 playoff games in Memphis as "the man". Until he joined a dominant team in the Lakers he made 0 All NBA teams and only one all-star team. If your telling me that the current KG couldn't do better with those Memphis teams than Gasol did I don't know what to tell you because that's just crazy. They had like 6 double digit scorers each year as well as being a very good defensive team. Pau Gasol isn't a franchise big and if he was Memphis wouldn't have traded him in his prime.

ITS ON NOW! ABC! I GOT MY LOTION READY! Big Ben is going to get raped

Why has Q been getting traded so frequently? If I'm not mistaken isn't he a double digit scorer with some size? Oh well good addition

Wow blair? It's definetly Taylor Griffin all the way. The team that got him walked out of draft night as the biggest winner

Portland They had one of the sickest jersey's in the league before the change and their new ones are pretty awesome looking too. I'm not a fan at all of the Red away ones we got. Let's get some pics in this thread for comparison. http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/55/fullj.097cb53cbc7951825fcfed24dfc59fa0/097cb53cbc7951825fcfed24dfc59fa0-getty-89643103jg043.jpg http://blog.oregonlive.com/blazers/2009/08/large_blazers-jerseys.JPG

Yeah, but you got to factor in the shooting numbers. B-Diddy averaged 37% from the field and 30% from three point land and that is a god-awful field goal percentage. Anyone shooting at that horrible efficiency belongs no where near the top ten. Jameer on the other hand shot 50% from the field as well as 45% from downtown. That's the difference. B-diddy had guys on his team that can score the ball also so his team didn't suck that bad. Kaman, Randolph, Thornton, Gordon are all capable scorers. Now defense and team chemistry is another issue lol, but no doubt those guys can all score

Racist. What does Bogut do on the basketball court to make him have a higher basketball IQ than Shaq? Shaq just appears as an idiot since he's always messing around on camera, but if you notice he is focused during the games. Here's my legit ones C- Shaq F- Tim Duncan F- Shane Battier G- Kobe Bryant G- Jason Kidd 2nd team C- Yao Ming F- Luis Scola F- Matt Harpring G- Brandon Roy G- Steve Nash

C- Samuel Dalembert F- Stromile Swift F- Antoine Walker G- Ricky Davis G- Sebastion Telfair

Dude you need to get your eyes out of the stat sheet. It isn't about getting a "sack" for one or two plays. It's about consistantly preventing pressure from being put on the QB and giving him ample time to make a play. And I'm not arguing that any offensive tackle is better than any WR. A guy like Fitzgerald makes more of an impact than any of them and no WR averages 10 passes/150 yeards/2 TD every game. You'l be lucky to see one guy have a game like that a year while elite OT keep their QB's healthy and prevent more than just one or two sacks.

1. Deron Williams 2. Chris Paul 3. Tony Parker 4. Chauncy Billups 5. Derrick Rose 6. Steve Nash 7. Devin Harris 8. Rajon Rondo 9. Jameer Nelson 10.Andre Miller I don't get why everyone is overrating Jason Kidd. I watched a bunch of Mavs games last year and he doesn't look like anything special anymore. His shot is alright now, but that's it. A lot of times they play him at the two-guard to allow him and Barea to play together so that takes some of the playmaking ability out of his hands. He has slowed down a lot and gets owned by the quicker guards now. He isn't as good at penetrating and running the break as he used to due to his loss of quickness.

Impacting the game should be the biggest factor when comparing players at different positions. And yeah I'd say a dominant OT like Roo's makes a bigger impact than a star WR like Calvin Johnson by the way. Eagles missed Tra Thomas for a game(and he's def not on Roo's caliber) and his backup allowed something like 6 sacks alone from Umenyiora as the Giants owned the Eagles. Just because Roo's doesn't catch the TD passes doesn't mean he impacts the game any less than Calvin Johnson. The game is won in the trenches and skill position players are some of the most easily replacable positions in the league.

I don't get why Tony Gonzalez is ranked 29th. So he impacts the game more than Westbrook and all those over guys? No way.
