with a name like Seventh Woods it's almost impossible to fail

@HerringWSJ: A supermarket owner has to pay MJ $8.9 MILLION for using his likeness in a coupon that TWO PEOPLE used. Wow.

@HerringWSJ: Here's the link on that story. That is insane. http://t.co/383HFj0Pso

MJ the cold blooded killer

Watch out Ryan jumpman

"I'm pleased with today's verdict," Jordan said in a statement. "No one -- whether or not they're a public figure -- should have to worry about their identity being used without their permission. The case was not about the money as I plan to donate the proceeds to charity. It was about honesty and integrity. I hope this case sends a clear message, both here in the United States and around the world, that I will continue to be vigilant about protecting my name and identity. I also hope the size of the monetary reward will deter others from using someone else's identity and believe they will only pay a small penalty."

 

 Because this was the only way you could have resolved this...

we dont believe you mj, we know  that money is being donated to vegas instead of charity

BRUH!!!

Everyday it grows more and more obvious how little people grasp how big of an accomplishment making the NBA is. Let alone being an effective player.

QFT.

BRUH!!!

Rough time to be a Sixers fan

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wasn't even expecting Embiid to be ready anyway. Greg Oden if not worse. Too all those dudes who kept getting offended at the thought of him being done, I'm sorry 

 

[buc em]

Yeah I'm sure Complex has the inside scoop from Embiid and his doctors

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah I'm sure Complex has the inside scoop from Embiid and his doctors

Actually they've broken a lot of NBA news

If anything blame the Philly Inquirer who is the source

@rick_bonnell: I'm told Blazers and T'Wolves are working on a major deal. Could all fall apart, but something is going on with cap room.

Major trade brewing between Blazers and TWolves [emoji]128064[/emoji]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The Blazers just signed a bunch of new dudes and new pieces.. wut

 

[pastor glo]

two lotto teams, this isnt breaking news worthy

 

[Quincy McCall]

Dame 

 

[addict4sneakers]

Complex also said there were 20 rappers out better than big Krit.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

What do they mean "something is going on with cap room"

I've always been of the mind that if you're good enough it's really not that difficult. I know it sounds silly but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

@rick_bonnell: I'm told Blazers and T'Wolves are working on a major deal. Could all fall apart, but something is going on with cap room.

With their rosters I can't even imagine what a major deal would look like. I can only see rubio being a "big" name getting moved from minny

 

[Quincy McCall]

If they could move either Pek or Martin then they won. Rubio, Shabazz +__ for dame would be worth the hype (numbers prolly don't match tho). Likely going to end up being nothing anyway

 

[pastor glo]

no way portland is trading dame

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Yeah no chance in hell they trade dame. He is the franchise .

 

[leavemeglazzies]

BRUH!!!

It always amazes me how much teams disregard injuries when it comes to drafts and contracts. They always seem to think best case scenario. Great players with a rich injury history get contracts that are just as high as great players with no injury history. This guy had "Next Oden" tattooed on his forehead with all the stories about his injury prior to the draft and all they saw was next Shaq/Duncan.

It doesnt.

Being good enough means you belong to the 1% of people who aspire to play professionally and actually do.

To put it in simple terms, its difficult to become "good enough".

Was told Timberwolves explored trade options. It's dead.

"We will trade you Pek, Kevin Martin and Shabazz for Dame"
