The Official NBA Thread 2011-12



New Yorc — Today, the NBA announced the launch of its third annual Dyslexic Heritage Month, a program that recognizes the NBA's dyslexic fans and players (Bibby, Graham, Kaman, etc.). Dyslexic Heritage Month will take place in six NBA markets this season (up from eight in 2008-09): Loss Angales, Torontoe, Feeeeeenix, Minnesoda, Houstin and New Yorc.

"The NBA has one of the largest and fastest-growing dyslexic fan bases in U.S. professional sports, and we want to continue building their interest in the game through participation, programming and killer jerseys," said Robert Nordoff, the name of a guy I just made up.

Dyslexic Heritage Month, first launched during the 2003-04 season, will feature celebratory uniforms developed in conjunction with Jay Leno, to display the team name as spoken and written by dumb NBA bloggers suffering with the learning disability. (The Miame Heet, for example. Or the Charlit Bobkats.)

The festivities tip off on Tuesday, Dec 1, when the Loss Angales Lekers host the New Orleanz Hornetz.

Dyslexic jerseys, t-shirts, sweatshirts and headwear will be available at the NBA Store on 5th Avenue, NBAStore.com, and in-arena stores for participating teams.

probably his connection. the only game that lags for is 2k10 but that has to do with the 2k servers not ps3 or your connection. major games like cod rarely lag unless its your connection.

lol iphone would make sense since youll be using more than a 360 or ps3

PETA (an org with a good cause), need to chill out with the Manu bashing. Last time I checked, the guy who took the bat outside said it flew away and was ok. I mean, some of the comments on that link make no sense in my part of the world. What do PETA want Manu to do now? A press conference and a P.S.A for them? Just leave the guy alone, in hindsight he already knows he could have done things differently.

I watched the Lakers/Rockets game as a delayed transmission. All thanks to the World Series that no one here gives a hoot about. It was a great game. Ariza was the standout player. Mostly because of the way stepped up to prove a point to his former team. I thought his game tying 3-pointer was a bigger dagger than the one Artest made to take the lead. Then again someone (no need to mention names) had a chance to put the game away in the final seconds. Like I said, Dejavu.

Damn, Shaq sure is getting crossed up in the wrong stuff with women.
 
LeBron isn't the only NBA'er who muses about playing pro football.

In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, Celtics forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis said he wants to play in the NFL — but not before he becomes an elite NBA player.

Elite, eh? That may take a little while.

"I will try it," said Davis, who's on the injured list for six weeks with a broken right thumb sustained in a good ol' fashioned car fight. "When I become an All-Star in the NBA, when I become a great player in the NBA, then I'll try football. One of my dreams has always been to play football."

The 6-foot-9, 290-pound "Baby" was reportedly a terrific two-way football player at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge, LA, starring at defensive end, defensive tackle and tailback. (Yes, tailback. And you thought Jerome Bettis was a bus!) Davis chose to hang up his cleats when he accepted a scholarship to play hoops at LSU. Good choice.

"I definitely could have made it to the NFL," Davis

Should have pursued an NFL Career.

LOS ANGELES –- The Allen Iverson saga has taken another turn as the veteran guard asked for and was granted permission to leave the Grizzlies to deal with a personal matter, according to an NBA source.

Iverson, 34, met with Griz owner Michael Heisley Friday night following the team’s 114-98 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The pair met again this morning, and Iverson was expected to depart for Atlanta this afternoon.

Atlanta is where Iverson lives during the offseason.

This latest development comes after Iverson played in three games since returning from a hamstring injury. Iverson came off the bench in each of those appearances and expressed his displeasure over that role all week.

It is not known when Iverson will rejoin the Grizzlies.

Iverson has averaged 12.3 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 turnovers and 57-percent shooting in 22 minutes for the Grizzlies.
man i was rooting for this guy. he needs stop bitchin and let his game do all the talking. what u expect join the grizz? a goddamn ring?

Uh, if he has some personal issues to deal with it, he has some personal issues to do with. 100% of his life doesn't revolve around the basketball court.

^^That's true. If he really indeed has a 'personal matter', I hope he sorts it out soon and all ends up well when the matter concludes.

However, we are looking at the context of his departure in this case. After a week of making the news for the wrong reasons and then leaving for 'personal issues', we gotta assume for now its related to the hoops side of his life.
