Can you imagine the eruption that must have taken place during AC's wedding night though? His new wife must have had spunk shooting out of her ears.
DMczaf said:excerpt from Iverson after team USA's practice:
On his own championship prospects at age 29, after eight seasons in the league and with the rebuilding Sixers:
"I definitely feel like it's coming. And I don't want a championship where I'm 35, 40 years old, take a pay cut and go play for the team that everybody in the media is saying is gonna win it. I don't want it that way. I don't want that championship. I want the championship where I'm the leader on the team. I don't have to be the facial figure of the team. I honestly want to play with another All-Star or that type of player, but ... I want it in Philadelphia, simple as that. All the stuff that I've been through, that place turned me from a young man to a grown man, and I'm not talking about all the good things."
obviously im a homer and sixers fan so ill agree with AI but i really do like his comment. but then again he is 29 and he still thinks he can do it. what happens in 7-8 yrs if he is still playing and has no ring? im sure malone thought the same way at that age. but i respect for ai wanting to stay in philly after all he went thru and shit, tough town to play in.
One of the films I'll be seeing at this year's Toronto Film Festival is the world premiere of...........
THE YEAR OF THE YAO, from James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo, follows basketball sensation Yao Ming through his first year in the NBA as he battles cultural and language barriers, the pressure of representing a nation of 1.2 billion people, and Shaquille O'Neal.

Introducing the latest NBA DVD that pretends Kobe doesn't exist!!
"This 2 disc DVD set chronicles the careers and off the court lives of the 2004 NBA Eastern and Western Conference All-Star Starters. These foundation players have essential attributes that best exhibit what it is to be a player in the NBA and more specifically their respective positions. And for the first time ever on DVD the 2004 NBA All-Star Game and Rookie Challenge in their entirety on a bonus disc."
Their lives off the court huh? No wonder Kobe got ignored...most of his time off the court was spent in one.
Oh yeah, another fine DVD for Laker fans...
Buy them both today!

its freaky how Yao's legs are almost twice as big as Stevies, yet their arms are almost the same size. Boy needs to hit the weight room.
Even though I have DMCAFSGSGSZAF on ignore, when people quote him, unfortunately his posts are viewable. From those quotes, though, DM further proves why he has no business in an NBA thread. Comparing "I want to be the MAN!!!!, aka I'll be the man when we're winning, but when we lose, i"ll bitch and moan to get traded" Tmac to Kobe Bryant, a winner of 3 NBA titles is simply ABSURD. This is a forum for adult discussion, Dm. That means you're on the outside looking in. I'm sure he'll reply with yet another shitty picture with an unfunny caption, but thankfully, I won't have to read it.

i wouldn't be. Damp is a bum. You have to wonder about a guy that waited to have his best season at the ripe old age of 30 (and in a contract year no less). I wouldn't want to invest big money for the next 5-6 years on the guy, not by a long shot.
Report: Raptors offer Vince, Rose to Hornets
Vince Carter has yet to comment on the numerous trade talks surrounding his future, maybe now will be the time?
Sportsnet.ca - A trade involving Raptors' franchise Vince Carter and teammate Jalen Rose is lighting up the airwaves in New Orleans, according to WGNO, the cities' local sports radio.
According to the radio report, Toronto has offered Carter and Rose in exchange for P.J. Brown and Canadian Jamal Magloire. The deal reportedly will include an undisclosed amount of cash. It is no secret in Toronto that Vince Carter is unhappy with his exclusion from the Raptors' off-season revamping of its front office and coaching staff.
