I mean, this is still totally insane 5 years later.

Javaris Crittenton Pointing A Loaded Gun At Gilbert Arenas Is Still The Most Insane Thing To Ever Happen In The NBA

Which brings us to this excerpt, which is wonderful. Caron Butler’s account is mostly about how much of a badass Caron Butler is. Here’s an, uh, excerpt from the excerpt:

“Oh no, you don’t need to shoot me with one of those,” said Javaris, turning around slowly like a gunslinger in the Old West. “I’ve got one right here.”

He pulled out his own gun, already loaded, cocked it, and pointed it at Gilbert.

Other players who had been casually arriving, laughing and joking with each other, came to a sudden halt, their eyes bugging out. It took them only a few seconds to realize this was for real, a shootaround of a whole different nature. They all looked at each other and then they ran, the last man out locking the door behind him.

I didn’t panic because I’d been through fa worse, heard gunshots more times than I could count, and seen it all before. This would have been just another day on the south side.

Lol at Fisher and Barnes fight.

 

[Liquidsnake]

This game is already more entertaining than all of Lakers' last season.

Roy is good people.

Yeah last nights OT game was better than anything I say through the first 40 games. I stopped watching after that.

Roy is good people
I was about to declare Randle a bust, I just hadn't seen anything from him prior to last night except a dude that plays too fast doesn't have the handles everyone thinks he has, and is a bust.

Lou is nice too. I like the roster a lot more this year. Scott got got in that final 4 min man. out coached bad again.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

I aint even gonna front, as soon as I saw Matt Barne's ex-wife I said GODDAMN.

 

[alr1ght]

The fuck did the Hawks do to their jerseys?

 

[Face it Tiger..]

The fuck did the Hawks do to their jerseys?

asked some EDM guys to redesign 'em.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes got into a fight this past weekend. Speculation is because Fisher is going out with Barnes's ex wife.

The ex-wife

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Really wanted to see Durant play today... ):

 

[Cheebo]

Had the Cavs/Atlanta game on in the background.

You know the NBA is back when Delladova is playing major minutes while making endless awful shots. It just wouldn't be the NBA without it.

Also those Atlanta uniforms look terrible in action. Wow.

 

[ViciousDS]

Anyone got a referral to ball streams they could PM me?

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Anyone got a referral to ball streams they could PM me?

Currently Ballstreams is icing out new folk, won't let me give you a referral.

for now only those who have become premium can give links, and I'm a non-premium.

 

[Lexxism]

Ballstream is currently not accepting any registrations now.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Fisher mustve gotten wrecked given that he hasn't played defense in like a decade.

but damn, Barnes punching above his weight there. christ.

 

[jmizzal]

Holy shit. I wanna see what Matt Barnes is pounding now.

Not Rihanna lol

wow that ex how you lose that lol

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

OMFG Karl Anthony-Towns....

How could you not be excited for Timberwolves basketball? I don't understand why they hate the Lakers so much, that has always disappointed me.

You kept the name after the team moved despite there being no lakes in LA.

And LA hate is universal. Embrace it like NYC has.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Andrew, you seem entirely too sensitive about the Lakers. Shrug it off, like Uga in the rain.

PS.> The Lakers suck.

STOP REMINDING ME OF THE ALABAMA LOSS!!!!!!!!! *Sobs uncontrollably*

 

[Fjordson]

I don't hate the Lakers. And Kobe is one of my favourite players of all time.

Only team I really dislike these days is maybe the Clippers.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I really don't understand why so many people hate the Knicks.

because never has a fanbase talked so much shit with so little to back it. At least the Kobestans have rings in their favor, even if they can be equally as obnoxious at times.

Not saying all knicks fans suck but the ones that do suck real hard

how the heck do you become premium lol

 

[Gully State]

I don't really dislike any team in the NBA right now. I couldn't stand Laker fans when I first moved to Socal but it's whatever now. I suppose the closest thing would be Spurs because their announcers are condescending homers. But then I have a huge amount of respect for what Pop has done with that franchise and how he's won championships coaching different styles of basketball. Plus the Spurs' execution is just beautiful. I'm eager to see how Pop is going to utilize LMA.

I don't have anything against Knicks fans. That franchise is so hilariously tortured, it's unbelieveable. What's even more amazing is that despite their decades long mediocrity, they still think that by virtue of NYC, they can attract the next big superstar and turn around their franchise in a hot minute despite 10+ years of history proving otherwise.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

How could anyone hate the Knicks after all the entertainment they have provided us over the last 10-15 years?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

i mean the knicks have always been who we thought they were

it's the fans that keep trying to make them some sort of legendary mythic team of the ages where every superstar will want to play in the big apple or some shit.

when the best thing you've done in the playoffs this millennium is punch a fire extinguisher you gotta start accepting that maybe your team isnt any good.

 

[Gully State]

Truly the TMZ franchise of the NBA.

 

[alr1ght]

yeah, this commercial...

[LyleLanley]

I hate the Knicks but in a friendly way.

 

[Fjordson]

yeah, this commercial...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PduXAn1cg1g

Okay maybe I dislike the Clips and the Cavs.

 

[Talon]

yeah, this commercial...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PduXAn1cg1g

Terrible.

 

[Liquidsnake]

I hope Byron Scott doesnt run his team into the ground. Its only pre season man WTF was Roy Hib playing 32 min?

Every decision this dude makes is so ass backwards.

 

[Megatron]

To get him in shape maybe? Roy isn't some surefire star. He may have to be pushed a bit.

Aren't the lakers named after los angeles? It's the LAkers

 

[Fjordson]

Aren't the lakers named after los angeles? It's the LAkers

No. Lakers is a reference to Minnesota and all the lakes there. They played in Minneapolis before moving to LA.

 

[LyleLanley]

Aren't the lakers named after los angeles? It's the LAkers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_A...2.80.9359:_Beginnings_and_Minneapolis_dynasty

Inspired by Minnesota's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes", the team christened themselves the Lakers.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Yeah but Roy is in shape, hes dropped some weight; and hes not 22 years old anymore.

I just don't like all the min. Starters should play the first 8 min of the first 2 qtrs, and then call it a night.

Bass probably has a torn ligament, we have had more injuries than any other team the last two years, D. Russ almost shattered his hip. I just don't like it.

 

[Bread]

Aren't the lakers named after los angeles? It's the LAkers

lol

 

[alr1ght]

some of you guys should learn how to read sarcasm.

 

[Gully State]

So, season's coming up soon. We need an OT tagline. It's brainstorm time.

 

[ViciousDS]

the youtube comments on the Cav's TNT commercial have me laughing so bad

Looks fake. Lebron would've gotten cramps on all four limbs with that temperature.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is there any way to watch this celtics game on my phone?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Damn the Heat are a deep team this year. People curious how the Dragic-Bosh pick and roll will be. Amare and Dragic pick and roll already looking like Nash and Amare.

Plus they look unstoppable in transition.

bruh

 

[MetalFearSolid]

bruh

Fine I exaggerated that part, but clearly Amare is fitting nicely with Dragic as primary ball handler. Spo can rest Bosh and let Dragic command the bench unit with Amare at PF and some good wing players that can run with him like Winslow and Green.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I hate the Knicks but in a friendly way.

But what about the Lakers?

 

[LyleLanley]

But what about the Lakers?

I used to hate them, if they ever get good again maybe I'll consider hating them again. As it is now I barely even think of them.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

how the heck do you become premium lol

err.. by paying for ballstreams?

I didn't pay for a sub, I only made an account while the option was still available.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Won't someone PLEASE be nice to the long suffering Lakers

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Won't someone PLEASE be nice to the long suffering Lakers

LOL even I don't think this is us at all.

Also, I do hope the Cavs make a run for the title. Cleveland is a city that really deserve a title and Lebron can definitely win another title. Despite how I feel about Dan Gilbert, anyway.

Honestly, it's Mark Cuban I hate the most. I like the Mavericks but Cuban can die in a fire for all I care. Ironic because I also tend to love Cuban...and hate him at the same time. Which makes no fucking sense.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Are you making the thread or am I? I don't mind collaborating. I got some ideas lol
