How has no one mentioned Swaggy P yet? Hes a 100 on the entertainment scale.

These swaggy p "fans" are like hypebeasts, nobody cared about him until he got popular

Nick's been that dude since USC

No one was watching The Clippers when they sucked or the Wizards so can you really blame people? This is the benefit of playing on a large market team your name gets out there. Jalen Rose said it best, when you play on a large market team, your 15 points a game looks like 24. Plus hes easily the most marketable player on the roster right now.

I don't think Jalen Rose meant large market team. He meant playing for good teams. That's why he mentioned the Spurs.

DId I misremember that? I would say that the same applies for large market teams regardless of whether theyre good or not.

Swaggy P has to be one of my least favorite players to watch.

  Let's be honest here, this season is a huge anomaly.  He hasn't gotten attention before because he was horrible, it had nothing to do with the market he was in.

lets rank
kobe/lebron/mj

I get people's rationales on how pure jump shooting can be more entertaining than slowing the game down with post ups, etc. But I also want to point out how players like AI and Drose (when he was healthy) were

when they sliced through defenses going hard at the cup.  Watching Iverson light up everybody as the smallest dude on the court

.

Lebron's size makes what he does less impressive, but to say he's boring to watch is a stretch.  Coming from a Jordan fan and Heat hater no less.  It's all subjective anyway, intangible hustle plays don't make the box score but are entertaining nonetheless.

Lets talk about Mascots. The Orlando Magic have to be happy that Brooklyn came and stole the "Worst Mascot in the League" title away from them

You must be forgetting this guy

Pierre Gasol

 

[senorroboto2k5]

This is pretty cool...

My favorite mascot was this guy:

 The best.

[awwsome]

Man somebody gotta explain to me what happened to Steve Francis

 

[nelson999]

Damn really? time for Tyreke to thrive 

 

[noblekane]

Who thought it was a smart idea to charge 165 for a melo shoe?

 

[kevin cleveland]

Hayward a game-time decision with a hip flexor.

Really wanted to see how he responded after his best game yet, and likely against Deng often. Probably not going to look good now, if he even plays.

Or maybe it's just a tank "injury."

He played too well last game, messed up Utah tanking so now they're making him sit out a game to think about what he's done
