LJ also only had like 3 good years, but he was as explosive as anyone for those years. man those years on the knicks were an indignity.

LJ made people think Converse was going to make a comeback as a shoe company. Webber will ALWAYS be that dude who called that TO. His reputation was pretty much made before he ever played in the League, and he didn't do much to dispel that.

I think LJ had a pretty serrous back injury, no?

BTW the very fact that that's the best picture of grandmama i could find reeks of conspiracy

oh, and since i can, Iverson!

i have another question that i want settled: who's the modern analogue of chris mullin? two time olympian, brilliant college career, amazing shooter, smart player, couldn't jump over a phone book or outrun a nun. is that kind of guy gone forever?

fuck dude, I have NO IDEA. This may need its own thread...Bloor could probably help, and I may even run this boy my boy Scotty D.

Good Question, jocko.

well it's not like we're gonna have any new olympians for awhile...

true. i was just thinking about it today, reminiscing about my favorite players as a kid and realizing just how stellar mullin's resume really was. guys like him, reggie miller, guys that were shifty and clutch but honestly no damned good, they were my favorite. i still want one of those "Run TMC" shirts though. still, i think that peja stojakovic may be the chris mullin UPGRADE. i wish that drazen petrovic had lived another half-hour though.

well, two things are for sure:
1)if there is a new Mullin, he's European. or South American (give it time)

2)there will never be anything remotely resembling the brilliance of Run TMC. Tim Hardaway was so badass in his prime. UTEP two-step all the way.

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 2:28 am

the UTEP two step could only be eclipsed by that crossover that AI flipped in that one commercial, but the nash-marion-stoudamire break is at least as fun to watch.

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 2:29 am

is anyone watching this game?!

it's pretty fucking hectic. looks like you were right, though

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 2:32 am

yeah, these things i can call. Zambrano against Milwaukee? sounds like easy money, but no dice!

Mick · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 2:34 am

looks like Seattle's through

probably true, probably true. still i'd like to win a whole lot of money before i hit up the Anons.

fuck yeah then you can buy and sell their sorry asses

Larry Bird looked like he was gonna piss himself at that Pacers/Celts game

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 2:43 am

oh hell yeah. i bet that i could get him to sponsor me in handing out a Danny Ainge ass-beating, Blue Jay or no Blue Jay.

Cotton · **Joined:** Mon Oct 25, 2004 6:12 pm **Posts:** 17155

i'm sure Bird's list of enemies is pretty damn long. if i was zeke i'd sleep with an eye open.

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 2:54 am

Zeke's a dead man.

i just heard that Stern isn't ruling out a life suspension for Van Gundy...i've got a feeling there's a little bit more to this story that what Stern would have you believe...

that is so sad.

Mick · **Posted:** Wed May 04, 2005 3:22 am

but what i don't understand, is why this warranted the biggest fine in NBA history. Don't people mouth off about refs all the time and just get fined like 5 grand? What makes this case so outstanding?

Stern is the man, and in my opinion far and away the best commisioner in american professional sports (not a hard title to take, but still) with the most difficult job (in terms of scope).

I couldn't give a fuck about basketball or the playoffs, but I will not stand idly by while you traffic in open misinformation.

Stern couldn't hold Tagliabue's jock, my man. Just witness this controversy, vs. Tags' and Co.'s masterful performance with the Congress (So good, you barely even noticed.)

I'm with Chase on this one, though the NBA seems like it doesn't have the attraction of the NFL or MLB.

I just want to know if this column by Bayless was serious or a joke?

Surprisingly, Newman disagrees with me.

There was something in another thread that I did agree with you on, I just didn't post anything about it and I forget what it was. So yeah.

And did you read that Bayless column? I guess someone noticed.
