The Official NBA Thread 2011-12

[Kobe]

He's done the paper work. Time for Lebron to change jersey numbers and his fans to buy his jersey one more time.

Report: LeBron James wants No. 6, let Michael Jordan own No. 23 - ESPN

OK, now please go play for your hero's former team??

As for AI, he's always going to be one of my favorite players. I've rooted for him all season through his ups and downs but, I think he just may call it quits. I can't blame him though, nothing is more important than family to him. That I respect. I'm also thinking his career is coming to an end after this season.

Who knows anyway?

lol lebrons is strictly doing the jersey change for money. he was the number one jersey seller til kobe changed his number from 8 to 24.

 

[Killuminatii 71]

^True. And he might be going to another team as well. He's a business man.

 

[Kobe]

Artest's defense is getting plenty of recognition. He gave his all vs. Carmelo, which was sweet to witness. Then he passed it on to Granger last night. I felt sorry for Granger when he was on the bench looking at the overhead scoreboard. He was probably wondering how to get around Artest LOL!!

I still miss Trevor Ariza playing for the Lakers

 

[yak pac fatal]

yea artests play has gotten a lot better than what it was before. i wonder if kobes injury had anything to do with that lol.

 

[Kobe]

Cavs got sucker punched when Shaq went down with an injury. They had already completed the trade which involved Big Z, now they want him back. It was always on the cards anyway, even Phil Jackson had to comment on it. There are some downs during Big Z's "last" days with the Cavs but, he likes playing in Cleveland.

Ilgauskas first lost his starting job to O'Neal, an understandable move by the Cavs who felt they needed more interior size to dethrone Orlando in the Eastern Conference. But on Nov. 28, the night Ilgauskas was set to break Cleveland's record for games played, he was inexplicably benched by Brown.

Cleveland Cavaliers reach out to Zydrunas Ilgauskas - ESPN

He should sign with the Lakers

 

[Kobe]

While one or two Lakers fans on here are still in the Championship mood, I came across this.

So, whoever thinks raffles are their thing and, meets the relevant requirements. http://www.nba.com/lakers/media/LYF_2009_ChampRing_Raffle_Order.pdf

 

[Killuminatii 71]

Ah fuck, i wish i had like 1000 bucks to buy myself 10 tickets for this. I'd freeze my hand with one of those things.

 

[Kobe]

^^I was thinking the same thing. Damn shame the rules specify the geography of the participants. I'll be on the lookout for the winner.

Since it's one of those days in the NBA, I read up a link on the NBA's dirtiest players. Reggie Evans topped the list.

You'll get no argument from Chris Kaman.

Sports Illustrated polled 173 NBA players -- secret ballot, of course, that's how we do things in America -- and found that Toronto's Reggie Evans is considered the dirtiest player in the NBA (winning 21 percent of the vote).

WHO IS THE DIRTIEST PLAYER IN THE NBA?

Reggie Evans, Raptors F 21%

Ron Artest, Lakers F 13%

Andres Nocioni, Kings F 6%

Anderson Varejao, Cavs C 5%

Kobe Bryant, Lakers G 4%

Funniest backup story of them all Kaman: Evans pulled testicles, prompting outburst - NBA - ESPN

KOBE vs D-WADE..tonight at 8pm EST on TNT, we should beat the heat by at least 12 pts. my prediction 96-84.

Damn, that dude banged his head pretty hard on the rim.

 

[yak pac fatal]

[Killuminatii 71]

That's true. They would have won against the Heat yesterday. I bet they'll lose vs the Bobcats today smfh.

Pistons' Stuckey leaves in ambulance

Pistons' Rodney Stuckey collapses on bench vs. Cavs - ESPN

[Killuminatii 71]

I was right about the Lakers game.

Damn what happened to Stuckey? Hope it's not serious. I was watching that game today too. Pistons were doing well in that game, but i didn't watch the ending.
