Kobe won the Kobe v Lebron last night

lol when did Fan vote start 4 the game itself? the talk had me thinking what if the vote went 2 Lebron or Yao Ming

Not to mention that dunk when Lebron was chasing him down for the block. Awesome!!

I don't know when the fan voting started. I was thinking they had a fail safe that prevented something like Yao getting voted for. Anyone that didn't want Byant winning the MVP instantly voted Lebron as many times as they could.

Did I mention I've been a Knick fan since I was fucking born?

Well done on the Knicks doing the right thing and getting Melo. I was starting to wonder how the fans would take it if Melo joined the Nets instead. I'm just glad the drama is over. It was pretty obvious the Knicks were the ones that needed to get the trade going. Somehow they managed to do so. Looks like New York will be the next destination for any major free agents in future.

"If there's a dunk contest next year I'll do it. But not no prop dunk contest."

"There's no telling what might happen next year," DeRozan said. "Somebody might use a trampoline."

in a way you cant /shouldnt keep the prop shit up
2 be honest the hood of the Kia wasnt much more than a chair or Nate Robinson

so does anybody know if Melo's knick jerseys are sold out right now. im real close on ordering one.

 

[Kobe]

Jordan Farmar thought he'd be running the point at the Nets, so he left LA in a huff. He wanted to 'spread his wings' he said. I bet he didn't think he'd be competing with the best PG in the league for a starting position. Ha!! The irony is unbelievable.

The numbers are pretty crazy right now. NBA.com says they'll move a thousand Melo jerseys in the first week. But you live in Ohio, why not get yourself a crisp new Baron Davis jersey?

If you haven't heard that the Bulls beat the Heat, then you don't like NBA basketball!! This 'crying' comment is gonna be doing some rounds for sure.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said some players were moved to tears in the Heat locker room. This much is clear: He and the Heat are hurting. "This is painful for every single one of us to go through this, there are couple of guys crying in the locker room right now, it is not a matter of want," Spoelstra said.

"Inside our locker room, we stick together, we're like brothers," Wade said. "We win together, we lose together. Outside, the Miami Heat are exactly what everyone wanted, losing games. The world is better now since the Heat is losing."

C'mon D-wade, that analogy is a bit far fetched.

On other matters, Shaq thinks he could have saved Biggie's life. OTL: Shaq & Biggie - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston What surprised me more was the existence of footage seconds before Biggie got shot. The whole thing happened really fast.

[Kobe]

Look brother you know I love you to death but its not going to happen, there good, but there not championship good, they also play in the worst conference in the NBA there is not a single team over .500% in the division aside from them, you put them in the west and they would be 5 or 6th seed at best.

Teams they can not beat, Lakers, Celtics & Spurs.

Theres no competing, its Williams all the way, Farmer was still a bench player when he went there originally behind Devin Harris, he just got like an extra 3 minutes a game haha.

Ya pretty impressive but also explains why they suck year in and year out and why Don Nelson is a shitty coach and will never win a title.

[Kobe]

Following Saturday's practice in Charlotte, where Jordan serves as majority owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats, the legend spoke with some of the Tar Heels -- including Barnes -- about their sneakers

"Hey dude, next time I see you in those Kobe Bryant's, I'm going to cut you right off. I don't care if your feet kill you, you're going to wear those Jordans," Jordan said, before cracking a smile and laughing. "If you're going to keep winning, you can wear them ... but that Duke game, you got killed."

 

[EDouble]

Bulls can beat L.a butthey both have to get thru there respective conferences
personally itll be in business once L.a. & MIA r knocked out

the East have been worse in the past for large part the playoff contenders in both conferences are quality, I feel

 

[Kobe]

^^Chicago Bulls this season are just as hyped as the Lakers were in 2008 i.e

The Bulls have made a big leap from their previous season, losing in the 1st round of the playoffs the previous year and coming out of nowhere to lead their conference. They excel on one side of the ball (in this case defense), while being middle of the pack on the other side. They employ the likely league MVP. They have several players (and a coach) that are considered winners, but haven’t had a lot of success together as of yet. In the end, the Bulls have what it takes to reach the Finals. They might not have what it takes to bring home the hardware. Maybe it’ll be proven wrong.
