He's not trolling. Jordan and Malone are the types of personalities you seem to loathe. I was pretty much going to make the same point. Hakeem early in his career was a known hot-head. And Magic Johnson told Lakers management fire Westhead or trade me. And he has always been known for his 'smile'. Shit, don't even get me started on Shaq. I could literally go on and on with this list.
Alright, you aren't making sense anymore. You're also being a total hypocrite.
Way to list very specific things against only players you clearly have an agenda against.
So you're okay with guys like Laimbeer being thugs putting his foot underneath shooters on a consistent basis and sending guys home injured on purpose . Yet if you're gonna say that you don't care about being an ass on the court, then why did your original argument stem from a foul in an exhibition game where Wade didn't mean to foul the guy? Don't write this as I'm defending what he did, but don't support Laimbeer's asshole antics and then tell us that Wade is the devil for what he did.
You claim you don't like 'me first' stars yet tweeting his extension is okay, where twitter is basically a 'EVERYONE LOOK AT WHAT I WROTE BECAUSE I AM FAMOUS' platform.
Dumbass handshakes?

Welp. There goes your humble Stanford and Harvard grads.
Lack of loyalty? Free agents leave all the time.
Speaking of classy, getting someone to take the SATs for you is pretty classy isn't it?
Point is: stop caring about having nice guys in the league. They make way more money than you, have a different upbringing, and are better than all of us at what we do in our professions. You can't relate to them in any way. So enjoy watching highly skilled assholes and douchebags go at it on the court, and embrace everything off the court because it's really out of reality for us.

You still don't get it. There is a huge difference between "was know as" and the "the jordan rules" as opposed to "hey guys look at me".
They are being paid and they should act like it.
If you tell me you knew about any pf those players issues...with the exception of jordan's gambling..while they played you re just lying to yourself.
Also Lin isn't someone I enjoy, and he was a dick at harvard. His attititude was more hia issue than his game. Point not accepted.

Then quit watching this league.
Like seriously if that is the kind of stuff you enjoy, then go watch...I don't know, tennis or golf. A gentleman's sport sounds like it's your cup of tea.
And uh, I'm not talking about personal player issues. I have no idea what Jordan did in bed to Juanita. But all the stuff about being hot-head and getting coaches fired and talking shit about other people? Or Isiah leading a freeze out in an all star game? That stuff is documented. So I don't think I'm lying to myself or anyone.
So it'll be like any other day for us. $34M/5 years for a sub-par player? Gotta do it mang.

I love the game man. The 5 or 6 juvenile assholes who are ruining it...not so much..
But I'll just root against them
Not fully NBA-related but Michael Jordan's Chicago suburb mansion listed for sale. Come on Chicago GAF, lets pool our money together and make an offer!

You mean the 5 or 6 juvenile assholes that make the game and are the only reason anyone gives a damn about the NBA?
Sign me up.
I wish there were more assholes in the league. Everyone's too friendly now.

For sure. Maybe he can use that money to hire someone who actually knows how to run a basketball team!

Yes because pooling all the stars onto 3 teams makes it baseball. Sounds reasonable for the other 97% of the country.
And hey you know what? That's what the league was in the 80s and 90s, at the height of its popularity and lack of parity!

False...every team had a star.
What did I say that was false? Most teams now have marketable stars too. Except for like the Hornets and Raptors. But if you want to talk about stacked teams with no one else in the league having a chance to compete, the 80s and 90s ball is for you.

I'm okay with the lakers, bulls, and celtics. They were homegrown teams for the most part.

Hawks had nique...Golden state had run tmc...etc and so on. Exciting to watch and LOYAL...what a concept.
I should have listened earlier, based Dy_nasty.
Except that nobody actually cared about the Hawks themselves, only Nique's highlights.
And how long did TMC stick together? LOYALTY!!
Alright, we're done. If you're gonna keep adding qualifiers this is a waste of time.

Sorry my opinion varies from yours...lets move along.
BTW, I finally beat MGS4 last night. I applaud myself for sticking to the media blackout for so many years. I really enjoyed it, even though it got badanimetacky at the end. The last fight was so nostalgia though. MGS3 Snake Eater Theme is so good.
You're just rambling now. Do you even remember what your original point was?

Not to sound like an ass cause I like you but right now you don't have any resemblance of an opinion. You just have certain feelings towards certain things and make up things as you go along according to how it conveniently fits into your 'argument'.

I'm an old school put the game first guy...
Yessir...egos are not my thing. As an ex-athelete I have dealt with my own amd hundreds of others. Also I tend to ramble when I get heated. My bad lets go back to discussing Irving's ceiling.
He can't score quite as well as Rose or dish like CP3 but I'll take the little bit he has of both and say he's going to be a 20 and 7 guy.

Come back at me when he signs with Miami in a few years
It's already begun.

Absinthe is still the only dude I've ever blocked in this thread over the last, what, 6 years?
And in other news, can someone explain to me how Brook Lopez can only grab 3 defensive rebounds in an entire game while playing 36 minutes? Just... how is it possible? How could he average under 6? Is it really just because of Humphries?I know Lopez has had rebounding issues for a while but I just don't understand it and don't watch Nets games if I can help it. Is it just because he's like Amare, aka tall but a shitty, lazy rebounder?

Hey when we get LBJ back after his 3rd hairclub for men deal...you'll be sorry.. #shakes fist
I got rings (and NCAA violations lawl) but yeah, even back when I played I distanced myself from a lot of people. They'd go to the club after practice, I'd go back to my room and watch BSG and film. I was so humble.Yessir...egos are not my thing. As an ex-athelete I have dealt with my own amd hundreds of others. Also I tend to ramble when I get heated.

Irving still reminds me of Mo without the eMo.

I did a lot of dumb shit before we knew it was dumbshit. And egos? Try going to school and livingh the fab 5 ha ha.
There's no ego like basketball ego. Sharing the court with a bunch of TOs.
D1A basketball is pretty much a bunch of D1 rejects that still have the fuckyeaimdashit swag whenever they come down the court.
Our SG just knew he was Kerry Kittles before the injury. We'd call timeout, huddle up, work out a play, and right before we'd get ready to head back onto the court he'd look at me and say "fuck that shit - I'll be in the corner. You know I'm money".
I got some friends down with the blueprint on fb, apparently he was on the outside guarding Dirk a lot. Sure...

I am now convinced that VDN is a horrible coach. Just horrible.
Hogwarts Dog son!
I wanted to give VDN a bit of a pass for how his Chicago experience went, but he hasn't helped the clippers in the slightest.
racist
All Wolves like Ricky actually. Considering how he gets everyone shots, there wouldn't be any other possibility anyway.
