Right now, I'm a Jason Williams fan; after seeing his old highlights.

all time is hakeem the dream. top 10 all time in points, blocks & assists as a 6'10" center (robert horry is 6'11") brought unreal athleticism & touch from his yrs playing soccer & handball while raping some of the all time greats on a nightly basis

currently: tony parker, dwayne wade, ben gordon - all 3 smaller guys who are fearless attacking the hoop and finish vs much bigger guys. saw wade play in person during some UH/Marquette games.

JoMomma you should purchase my Hakeem the dream autographed picture haha. But in all honesty my favorite player is Paul Pierce followed by Stevie Nash. Crawling up the list of favs are newer Celtic stars Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Yao Ming is starting to become my boy as well. Its too bad the Duke Jay Williams got hurt he woulda been up there at the top of the list as well.

Jordan is GOAT

I forgot a couple

MJ
Shawn Kemp
Karl Malone.

Shawn Kemp was teh Pwn.

Also, I couldn't help but smile every time I would sit down and watch a prime Shaq. I can't even lie.

Kenny Anderson was always my boy, too.

what no travis ford? really though, tony delk was a hell of a college player. ron mercer = way overrated

what no travis ford? really though, tony delk was a hell of a college player. ron mercer = way overrated


lol i was sticking to nba but yeah, tony d is also one of my all-time favs.


and mashburn and prince to name a few more

so your boys gave memphis a pretty good run for a while.


we just had the most embarrassing performance ever the other night at vandy. i don't believe gillispie's gonna make it.

Gillespie is a bum. The players are not improving at all under his tutelage. Anyways Jason Williams was the man in Sacramento with his flash but his shooting percentage was awful. Now hes had injuries and is a step slower. Riley doesn't give him the freedom to do what he wants. Williams originally toned down his flash in Memphis playing under Hubie Brown.

^^^^ true



ps... the original white chocolate was bob cousy... and auerbach encouraged his flash as long as it had substance.


War Red!

NEW ORLEANS -- Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing, who battled for NCAA and NBA titles, and Miami Heat coach Pat Riley were selected as finalists Friday for the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Holdover candidates Chris Mullin, Adrian Dantley, Dennis Johnson and Golden State coach Don Nelson also are among the 15 candidates for enshrinement.

Olajuwon and Ewing both played in three Final Fours, with Ewing's Georgetown team beating Olajuwon's Houston squad for the 1984 national championship. Olajuwon got his revenge as a pro, leading the Houston Rockets to the first of two straight titles with a seven-game victory over Ewing's New York Knicks in the 1994 NBA Finals.

Riley coached that New York team. He won four NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, then grabbed another one two years ago with the Heat.

"Having Patrick Ewing inducted with me would be incredible," Riley said in a statement. "To have one of my favorite all-time players that I coached, be inducted at the same time, if it were possible for both of us, would have a special added meaning for me."

The other candidates include: Richie Guerin and Johnny "Red" Kerr, both former players and coaches; ESPN announcer Dick Vitale; Detroit Pistons owner Bill Davidson; former Immaculata women's coach Cathy Rush; former Duke coach Victor Bubas; and international committee finalists Togo Soares and Maciel Ubiratan Pereira of Brazil.

The class of 2008 will be announced April 7 before the NCAA men's championship. The induction ceremony is set for Sept. 5 in Springfield, Mass.

shit, I forgot to mention Danny Ainge.

^^^^^^ Danny Ainge>Tree Rollins

Anyone ever associated with the Celtics is pretty cool (unless they were terrible and had horrible contracts like Vin Baker, Pervis Ellison and Vitali Potapenko etc.)

still pisses me off about Len Bias. he coulda/woulda been good.

haha Tree Rollins was the man. War "Miracle" Milt Palacio.

one of my boys is from boston and a C's diehard, I still give him shit about the time we heard someone on the radio suggest Hakeem for Dino Radja straight up...oh shit lol

so your boys gave memphis a pretty good run for a while.

we just had the most embarrassing performance ever the other night at vandy. i don't believe gillispie's gonna make it.

UH led memphis at half, 2nd halftime deficit for memphis this yr & shot better but 32-2 free throw disparity was a joke. we'll get 1 more crack at the C-USA tourney

gillespie is really gonna look like shit when the all american goes to the nba & if he cant recruit more. kelvin sampson & bobby knight might be available

one of my boys is from boston and a C's diehard, I still give him shit about the time we heard someone on the radio suggest Hakeem for Dino Radja straight up...oh shit lol

LOL

I went to some Dino games and he always had like 28 when I went. Guy was a pimp.

The dream was just incredible.

I watched a game of Bias vs. Jordan on STAGE6 the other day. Fucking awesome. Jordan was better, but Bias was right behind him.

Not to be Bias but Len would have brought a few titles to Beantown had he not fucked up. R.I.P.
Jordan was the best I've ever seen as a complete player. He could dominate defensively and his scoring obviously was unstoppable but he kept the defense honest with his passing and was the best at knowing when to take the big shot or when to pass to his teammates. No superstar had the judgement that MJ had. LBJ is one of my favorites just because there is no player in the NBA better than him right now.

lebron has more talent than anybody but he's still not better than Kobe yet

I am a big Kobe supporter but in my opinion Lebron has surpassed Kobe. With a terrible supporting cast Lebron tucked the Pistons into bed and got his team to the NBA Championship last season scoring 29 straight points for the Cavs to seal the deal. That alone did not put him ahead of Kobe. What has put him ahead of Kobe is his dominance in the 4th quarter, his dominance of Kobe when they play head to head (Cavs have beaten the Lakers 5 straight), and his unbelievable vision. Kobe is a score first player. Lebron is a pass first player that happens to average 30 points a game. Lebron has begun his reign as a lockdown defender as well.

i see what you're saying. i don't think he takes over the 4th quarter though against good teams. it's usually toronto and shit. kobe will take that shit over against anybody. kobe is also more clutch. but like i said i see what you're saying and i'm sure king james will be #1 in a year or 2. oh yeah and lebron even said he's not at kobe's level yet and says kobe is the best player in the game.

Lebrons a great guy and willing to give credit where credit is due. Last game they played sealed my decision though when Lebron and Kobe guarded each other in the final 2 minutes and Lebron outscored him 6-0. I think Kobe is the best scorer in the NBA and has the most venom in his veins but if I were to start a team and Kobe and Lebron were the same age I would go with Lebron. Certainly room for argument though as they are the best 2 swingmen in the game by far.

kobe is better than lebron. this coming from a guy that likes lebron better than kobe.

kobe IS the best ball player in the universe

Kobe is the most Jordanesque in the sense that his offensive game is very similar but in my opinion Lebron is the most well rounded player in the game. Kobe, Lebron, Garnett, Duncan, and Nash should be first team all NBA. Lebron> Kobe in rebounding and passing as well as scoring this season.

gillespie is really gonna look like shit when the all american goes to the nba & if he cant recruit more. kelvin sampson & bobby knight might be available


bwahahaha


I don't think Patterson's going anywhere for a while and at least the boys bounced back with a nice win on the road today.

World B. Free

Didn't see too much of World but I know he could put the ball in the bucket. The original LJ Grandmama Larry Johnson was a beast hes an all-time fav.

these 2 are my favorite players. kobe first lebron second. i called lebrons greatness before he was drafted.

that said, you have lost all credibility with sayng lebron is a lock down defender. he still coasts on D. therefore your argument on this subject is null and void.

kobe is still more clutch. lebron even says it. kobe will gut you and eat your heart in front of you. lebron is still learning this.

wow! you called lebron would be great before he was drafted??????? omg!

Yeah millions of people had no idea Lebron would be great when he was on SI as a highschool junior. Good call. But Lebrons passing is whats going to set him apart from Kobe and in my opinion it already has. (not by much though)

wow! you called lebron would be great before he was drafted??????? omg!

LOL I was going to say the same thing...

If you didn't think LBJ was gonna be money, you were retarded.

i was talking about his sophmore year when he was already in slam mag and 3rd team h.s. all american.

Barkley, shut up and jam

LBJ's a pimp coulda been in the NFL too. All-State or All-American (I'm not sure maybe both?) in highschool as a sophomore as a WR. Chubbs Peterson from Happy Gilmore tried to get him to give that shit up and play golf but he decided to go with basketball.

those all america lists are notoriously full of shit. I remember guys like schea cotton from cali & ronnie fields from chicago (hs teammate of garnett) being younger and considered better than kobe as a sr

its easy to look at a 6'5 8th grader & say he's good but a lot of them lack the mentality to compete when everyone else is the same size as them. I think it especially goes for the big men

Yeah they could be full of shit but I got a DVD of Lebrons highschool football and dude was like a 6'8 moss out there. He was jumping over people snagging ill catches and then running and taking it to the house.

its the same thing in all of sports and all levels. what about the draft? there have been busts all over the place. for every good pick for an all american list or draft, there are 3 bad picks. its the same in all of sports. there r no sure things. ask green bay how mandarich turned out

yeah, lebron is fuckin amazing, he is a freak. he is a runaway freight train on the fast break and he was sick in school, u know he woulda been one of if not, the best WR in the NFL right now, and in only his second year if he went the football route.

lebron is a pussy just like 98% of all nba players. he would take 1 hit in the nfl and never play again. this guy gets wacked in the face and lays on the ground for 10 minutes just to milk it like that pussy wade in miami.

Lebron could be hurt in the NFL maybe thats why he chose basketball but he certainly has a much bigger frame than a lot of receivers and would be a load to line up to hit and bring down as he weighs 245-250.

I hope youre kidding b/c you cant just say nba guys are pusses while nfl guys are tough. hell nfl players are padded head to toe. rugby guys are rugged forreal

lebron was smart, nba = guaranteed money & strong players union unlike the nfl union who gets raped on a regular basis & unproven rookies are often the biggest earners

nba players are bigger stars globally on par w/some soccer stars, I read how rockets scrubs have endorsements in china due to yao & can exceed their nba income doing that

Rockets players can have unbelievable endorsements because Chinas population is never ending and Yao is the biggest star from China in the United States. Thats why Yi was left off of the all-star ballot because they knew he'd be voted in unfairly. In the United States however the NFL is much bigger than the NBA. Globally NBA players are more popular because other countries are pussies and can't/ are too scared to play football. I think Lebron could have played in the NFL (anyone can get hurt at any time) but I think guys like Allen Iverson who they said could have played would have gotten crushed. LBJ is a locomotive.

dude all that is cool but doesn't change the fact that he and 98% of the nba are pussies. the toughest guys in the nba are point guards.

I'm in agreement that most NBA players are pussies but its probably more like an 80 to 20% pussy ratio. Toughest guy in the NBA has to be Brian Scalabrine though. :sifone:

Great book. I think in there it said 5'8 Calvin Murphy was the toughest guy and would beat on people repeatedly. He was a golden gloves boxer in Connecticut I think it was. No one wanted to fight him he use to protect most of the guys and Tomjonavich. Kermit clowned him though shit was brutal.

Scott Skiles is the toughest man on the planet, even though most NBAers are fags.

yeah he was a tough little guy, back in the old wild west days of the nba the commish was gonna throw him out if he even balled up his fists one more time.

Hell yeah, war skiles!


that hurt me when the bullies let him go. :(

Rumor has it, Skiles floored Shaq when they played together on the Magic. Supposedly, Shaq ran mouth on the team bus and Skiles whooped his ass.

Shaq denies it, but the story has some legs.

Last season apparently Skiles also issued a challenge to all players on the Pistons to throw a punch at him while he was coaching the Bulls. Guys a fuckin beast and needs to write a book. War Skiles and white guys in the NBA!

LOL my most hated player Jeff McInnis sucked balls all season, and got cut today by the Bobcats. I don't know why, I mean... I would of cut him before I signed this loser.

Yeah "Crackhead" Mcinnis always runs his mouth more than he contributes to his team. Hopefully his NBA career will R.I.P. I've had enough of watching point guards that absolutely blow get starts. This season it has been Anthony Carter and Mcinnis while in years past seasons its been bums like Eric Snow and Dan Dickau.

i hate bruce bowen more than any other nba player. that fucker tries to hurt guys all the time. somebody needs to ko that punk

i hate bruce bowen more than any other nba player. that fucker tries to hurt guys all the time. somebody needs to ko that punk

I have to agree. The refs have different standards for Brucey. Fuck that.
