Stern's (what a name) verdict is in. All that's left now is Arena's sentencing, then we wait and see if his contract gets dumped.

^^ That's one way to look at it.
Lebron got a gig with McDonald's. I've always wondered, do the people they endorse walk into any McDonald's and get a free meal? Or do they still have to pay for it?
On the other hand, this is a lot of money to pay just for kicking a bottle.
Arenas, Javaris, West........see a pattern here? Then you still have to wonder why Camron got into legal issues, for having the NBA logo carry a gun, as his proposed LP cover. Here's the ultimate 'you know you're old when you remember this' moment.

Lebronze makes a lot of dough. If he keeps this up, he's gonna be up there with all the billionaries and shit. And even the illuminati hahaha.
Yo, that picture is hilarious hahaha. Everyone seems to be overprotective now. Why's everyone carrying loaded guns and shit? It might be the only thing they CAN shoot... Haha.

The match was supposed to be live on ESPN my part of the world. Then, they broadcast the Winter X Games instead on its slot. WTF? Winter X Games? This is Africa man. The only time some of us see snow is when we........well, watch the Winter X games 
Ahhh, hopefully they will provide a re-run of the game as it appears on the schedule.
I read the game re-cap. Seems like it was good game. Gotta love the haters though.
Bring on the Celtics :wondering:

PHILADELPHIA -- When the Boston Celtics host the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday things are bound to get a little physical between the two bitter rivals who have combined to win 32 of the 62 titles in NBA history.
That's quite all right with Kobe Bryant. He'd like to raise the stakes and increase the contact.
"I'm old-school," Bryant said after scoring 22 of his 24 points in the second half of the Lakers' 99-91 win at Philadelphia on Friday.
"I'd like for us to go back to the old rules," Bryant said. "Get rid of the 'crutch defense,' known as the zone defense, and have guys guard man-to-man and stuff like that [and allow] hand checking and all that. I think that's better basketball."
The league started to allow zone defense at the beginning of the 2001-02 season. Before then, if a player attempted to guard a space on the floor rather than another player, the team would be whistled for illegal defense. The offending team would receive a warning from the officials for the first instance of illegal defense and would be charged with a technical foul for each subsequent violation.
Hand checking first became outlawed at the start of the 1994-95 season and shortly thereafter, in 1997-98, defenders became prohibited from using their forearms to guard against players facing the basket. In 1999-2000, the league eliminated all contact by a defender with his hands and forearms both in the backcourt and frontcourt, except on offensive players who caught the ball below the free-throw line extended.
