Of all the great players in the NBA that have retired I think Charles Barkley could be my favorite. Isiah is forever tainted. Michael Jordan is doing fine. Bird had a nice run. Magic is in management.
But Barkley just decided to get fat and be very very funny. I love this guy. By the way, if you actually listen, he knows his stuff in terms of basketball. The NBA on TNT is definitely worth a watch.
Walt Frazier definitely paved the way for slickness in the NBA
I decided to pay homage to some of the better dressed guys that I’ve seen in the NBA over my years.
Some guys prance around in jeans and gold chains. While that is certainly their right, I’m pretty sure that if I were to create a league of my own, these are the guys I’d want representing me.
Frazier, the Godfather of it all will be number 5.
I know that Chris Paul is getting attention this year, and rightfully so. But do people ever really stop to think how good this guy really is?
It’s one thing to have one of the top three point guard seasons of all time, yes, all time. It’s another to take a 2-0 series lead over the most successful NBA franchise of the 21st century.
Obviously it’s still a little early to tell who’s going to win the series, but is it too early to start saying this guy could wind up being a top 10 all-time player and a top 3 all-time point guard?
“Fellas, if you don’t get in there and find it, you know I’ll be diving in there myself.”
As a Knicks fan (for the last 6 years I’m embarrassed to say that) you can’t ever forget a player like Charles Oakley. He brought the kind of tenacity and work ethic ON THE COURT that is rarely seen in today’s game.
But as most players struggle with an off the court lifestyle, the Oak Man seems to be doing two things: playing golf and protecting Michael Jordan at social events.
And his latest rumblings? Calling Isiah’s tenure with the Knicks “garbage.” I love Charles Oakley. That’s really all I wanted to say.
“As long as I get to party with the Charlotte Ladycats, then I’m in Michael.”
In what might be his 10th coaching gig in the NBA, Larry Brown is reportedly being hired to coach the Charlotte Bobcats. When asked about the hire Brown said,
“I’m definitely psyched to be here. I just want to give a shout out to James Dolan and Isiah Thomas. You guys fucking suck! Ahahahahaha! Fooled you guys! I fooled you! Now I’m rich! Ahahahaha.”
Brown sealed the deal by being allowed to judge the 2008 Charlotte Ladycats tryouts in Greensborough.
“Come on man, what do ya say to a little rubdown later? Just a little one? You know you’ll love it. ”
Amidst all of this playoff drama, one player sticks out at me and he’s rubbing me a little funny. That player is DeShawn Stevenson of the Washington Wizards. One might wonder how this guy could possibly be gay.
DeShawn isn’t that great an NBA player. He ends up growing an incredibly long beard and then sports a mohawk. What does he do next? Talk an incredible amount of shit about Lebron James who is clearly a top three player.
Sure the hype starts, but he’s still an average player. But is the guy gay?
This August 26th-29th at the Mirage in Las Vegas, another season of the Michael Jordan Flight School begins. There are two camps, one for the juniors and one for the seniors. Obviously we’re talking about the seniors here (must be 35 or over).
If you want to get on the court with Air Jordan it’s gonna cost you about $6500 a day (cost is $17,500 pre tax and no expenses). From what I hear, if you have the funds it’s actually worth it. Jordan talks tons of trash, doesn’t give in, and steals all the money under your bed to gamble at the Mirage.
If you’re lucky, he’ll play you one on one. Apparently his airness was actually beaten once. So get out your savings and try to take on the best basketball player of all time.
Now does this look like the face of a guy who would drive drunk?
Hours after playing a basketball game, Carmelo Anthony decided to get his drink on. Unfortunately he also decided to get in his car and drive at 4 A.M.
“Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them.”
Another fine example the NBA is setting for our youth. Can the Knicks just get their shit together? I don’t even care.
