1984 Third Pick = Jordan
2004 Third Pick = Gordon

It's time.

Can Tom Tolbert be any more amateur? If you're a paid commentator you better know how to pronounce any first round pick; it doesn't matter if you can make a lame joke out of your stupidity.

Now that we're stuck with Rafael, I will embrace him with open arms...

Finally! America! the NBA!

America?.... *chuckle* Who said anything about that?

 

[AirBrian]

LMAO!

WTF?!??!?!

If David Stern doesn't need to know how to pronounce these names, there's no reason for Tolbert to learn.

 

[AirBrian]

#31 = Reggie Miller? That's some f'ed up wood art.

STONE

 

[AirBrian]

Bye-bye Jamison. You will be missed.

 

[Seth C]

The Sonics just got self-owned...haha.

 

[Cloudy]

The Sonics have needed a center for a while now lol

 

[Archaix]

SuperSuhSonics!

David Stern doesn't know the TEAM names, we can get off Tolbert's back for not attempting to butcher a player's name

 

[sc0la]

Mark my word. The only time you will ever see a white kid from bakersfield get drafted out of highschool is if he is 7 footer.

 

[Guzim]

WTF?!??!?!

OMG If you add the numbers of the jersey on the right, you get 4. BEN GORDON'S NUMBER AT UCONN.

DRAFT PREDICTOR!

 

[Seth C]

Mark my word. The only time you will ever see a white kid from bakersfield get drafted out of highschool is if he is 7 footer.

The real question is, will he end up playing more minutes in his NBA career or his HS career? Haha.

 

[Bat]

OMFG Portland is retarded.

 

[Cloudy]

How long till Telfair gets caught with weed?

 

[Seth C]

OMFG Portland is retarded.

Trading him back "home" to Jersey maybe?

 

[Fifty]

The Raptors are retarded for not picking Nelson. Hell.....They're retarded for picking this scrub instead of an actual player.

 

[Cloudy]

How come Nelson is still there. Dude is like Iverson lite....with a jumper

 

[Seth C]

By lite do you mean really, really short? Because he is. And stumpy.

 

[DMczaf]

The Utah Jazz draft a white player.

SHOCK OF THE CENTURY!

 

[Cloudy]

Are there any black players on the Jazz right now? lol

 

[ACE]

do utah have a white only draft policy?

 

[Fifty]

Hmmmmm. They traded a black guy for Giricek last year....I see their masterplan!

Uh.....They have Jarron Collins!

 

[Cloudy]

lol, i mean a slightly inferior version overall but i think they are like the same height tho...

 

[Cloudy]

Uh.....They have Jarron Collins!

He's not white? lol

 

[Fifty]

"What? Bitch"

Rafael's going to make the league his bitch!

 

[Seth C]

lol, i mean a slightly inferior version overall but i think they are like the same height tho...

Isn't Iverson about 6'1"? Nelson is 5"10" if he's lucky.

 

[Cloudy]

LMAO @ Vitale!!!

 

[Cloudy]

Isn't Iverson about 6'1"? Nelson is 5"10" if he's lucky.

AI wishes he was 6'1" lol

 

[DMczaf]

Another Hawks pick coming up, another bathroom break.

 

[Cloudy]

Bilas is fukkin BRUTAL lol

 

[DMczaf]

Bilas is fukkin BRUTAL lol

He makes up for listening to Tom Tolbert.

 

[ACE]

Pavel, Nelson and Monya must be having fun in the green room

 

[sc0la]

Another Hawks pick coming up, another bathroom break.

You Win!!
"what do you say about people saying you are going to be a bust"
"well my dad says i am good"


The best part about the expert opinion on the Sonics pick.
"He doesn't leave his feet on the fakes which is unusual for a high school player"
That is because he is a motherfuckin 7 footer! he probably never leaves his feet playing high school D EVAR

 

[Bat]

Nelson is like AI.....just shorter and without any of the athletic ability. And he's not even a better shooter....shooting over guys who are much taller than you (as he will have to do in the NBA) tends to reduce your FG %.

Undersized SG rarely ever work well in the NBA. AI is the exception simply because he is so incredibly talented and athletic (I once said that if he was 6'6" he'd be as good as Jordan). Jameer Nelson is a totall different story....he's even undersized even for a PG. The protypical "good in college, but doesn't work in the NBA" player.

Great pick by Charlotte; fills their biggest needs.

 

[Cloudy]

Nelson backing up Wade? DO IT!!!!!

edit: Oh no

 

[Archaix]

Dick Vitale clearly stroked out earlier when bitching about the Celtics.

He just said "This isn't the olympics, this is basketball" in the middle of his Nelson rant.

Anybody want to take a shot at what that meant?

 

[DMczaf]

Kara Leonard, one of the Cleveland Cavaliers' dancers, gets dunked in the "Dunk A Dancer" attraction

:O

 

[Archaix]

If one more high school kid is drafted, Dick Vitale goes foaming mouth-rabid.

This is shaping up to be the best bottom 9 picks of the draft ever.

 

[sc0la]

EARLY ENTRY

He can't shoot, he can't dunk, he can't pass, he can't defend but he sure can dribble!

upside upside upside potential upside uptential upside long term project

ROOFLES!!!!!!!!!

 

[Guzim]

I think that's a girl.

 

[mightynine]

I tell you what: all this potential isn't going to bring $$$$$. In my opinion.

 

[Flizzzipper]

Devin Harris is a damn good player. I think the Mavs can trade Nash now and not lose much down the road.

 

[Bat]

STFU Vitale. Obviously you are saying this shit, your entire career rests upon the health of college basketball. The players get hurt? No, they get paid, as opposed to being used by the colleges who reap all the benefits for their play. What the NBA needs is a true minor league, not an age limit.

EDIT- A steal by the Jazz. The 20s are always a crapshoot, so if you can have a crapshoot at a 7'6" player you're in good shape.

EDIT2- Nelson to Orlando....that's a good fit.
