THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[lynchpin33]

Bonzi was one of the few guys that would punish Kobe on defense.

i remember bibby giving him fits a couple years later

To the point that Kobe elbowed him in the nose....

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Who requested this ?

 

[earldagoat]

Melo going to be listening to Future before every game and shooting 27 times per minimum.


Melo one of the best in the world at his craft and she cheated with one of the worst rappers to come out of New York, specifically Brooklyn.


The disrespect.

Poor Melo taking snapshots w/ dude & lookin like an excited fan.

 

[tomdiginson]

Is that Maino ?

 Shaquille O'Neal, former rival: “The Spurs won because of Tim Duncan, a guy I could never break. I could talk trash to Patrick Ewing, get in David Robinson's face, get a rise out of Alonzo Mourning, but when I went at Tim he'd look at me like he was bored.”

"I remember one time Kevin Garnett was mushing him, and shoving him in the face; and Tim Duncan didn't do anything, he didn't react. He just kicked Kevin Garnett's ***, and won the damn championship. You know what I'm sayin'? That's gangsta. Everybody can show emotion, dunk on somebody, scream and be real cocky; but Tim Duncan is a ... he's a pimp."
-Ron Artest

Greg Oden on Tim Duncan:
Everyone's been telling me that as a big man, no matter how much I prepare myself, you learn your toughest lesson when you go down to San Antonio. The other day [former NBA player and Blazers assistant coach] Monty Williams pulled me aside and told me: "That guy down there" -- meaning Tim Duncan -- "has had surgery on his left knee. He can only jump about this high [holds his fingers about an inch apart]. He won't say a word to you, and he will Bust. Your. A--."

According Sports Illustrated, in 1997 Wofford coach Richard Johnson, whose well-overmatched team would face Duncan and the Demon Deacons the following day, told his players: "Let me tell you guys about who you're playing tomorrow. Someday your six-year-old kid will ask you for a Tim Duncan jersey for Christmas. This is your chance to play a future NBA Hall of Famer, your turn to face the greatest player any of you will ever meet."

is that not a horse? 

If "horse" means "camel" in Canadian, then yes.

 

[friscostylez]

it will be a sad day when Timmy D retires

kinda random but people always told me how boring they thought the Spurs and Pistons finals was but that was one of my favorite finals ever

 

[MVP]

That series was a snooze feat outside of game 5.

 

[awwsome]

Best Spurs series gotta be 2014, absolute dominance.

 

[wavycrocket]

Watching the '85 ASG, and those stories about Isiah and them freezing Jordan out are definitely true.

Can't count how many times Jordan got waived off when open.

AR Smith back to the Cavs.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

AR Smith back to the Cavs.

Is he getting paid less than what he would have?

teamswishHappy to say that I am returning to the Cavs! It’s been a long ride this summer but I can say for sure, well worth the wait. When I opted out of my contract, I wanted to understand the landscape of the NBA and where I fit best. The Cavaliers had things they needed to do in order to piece together a championship caliber roster. I ended up deciding that instead of potentially securing a larger deal elsewhere, I wanted to rejoin an incredible organization in pursuit of the ultimate goal, an NBA championship. Thank you to the Cavaliers for making this happen. Can’t wait to get started! #TheLand

Looks like Earl's stupidity cost him 1.5 mil, plus he's in the worst city in America for another season.
