It's ok, I'm sure you didn't know about it. My computer is fixed now. I've noticed a few of the links people have posted recently has been directed to linkbucks first. It was called Anti Vir or something like that.

What did MJ say anyway? lol

 

[EDouble]

if this is ab the wouldnt have joined with bird & magic its funny how ESPN just takes it reports it like he issued a statement against Lebron

he was interviewed after american century tournament on NBC ab the bobcats/NBA and he said he wouldnt of teamed with magic & bird in all honesty he was trying to beat those guys


ESPN was funny compring Career stats MJ Bird Magic vs Wade Bosh Lebron , had "Championships line

its like 14 to 1

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry [Bird], called up Magic [Johnson] and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. The interview aired on the NBC telecast of the event. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

Michael Jordan on LeBron James' decision: I wouldn't have called Larry Bird, Magic Johnson - ESPN

 

[Kobe]

I'm happy Lebron moved, I don't agree with the way many people seem to have a problem with him doing it. I mean the TV thing was a fiasco but everything else is well within his right. If Jordan spoke more on how to improve the quality of his retro Air-Jordans, I'd be so happy. Anyway, he didn't bash Lebron, ESPN just blew the whole thing out of proportion. Now everyone is pointing fingers at Lebron laughing at something Jordan didn't say.

Scoop Jackson did plenty of interviews with MJ on Slam magazine. They were tight and some people hated the fact that Scoop had such unprecedented access to MJ. Even though he doesn't go at MJ he puts his points out in a reasonable way. Michael Jordan's statement that he'd have never done with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson what LeBron James did with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh is hypocritical - ESPN

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I think Jordans comments are being over analysed. I think its a difference of competitive spirit. But he's right I can't imagine Jordan becoming a Celtic or a Laker, it's easy to see that now that its all said and done but it made such a better story and made for a more interesting game to watch. And I'm getting sick of hearing people say the Cav's were a shit team and LeBron had no help, they won the most regular season games! They just had a horrible time in the Playoffs which nobody can solely blame everyone but LeBron for. I really don't like how cocky Wade/Bosh/LeBron are being, I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope they get shitted on next season lol..

Which reminds me I wonder how LeBron's mystery elbow injury will be next season? Hmmm....

The New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers are on Paul's list of preferred destinations, sources told CBSSports.com. The sources said members of Paul's "inner circle" have told the Hornets the guard wants out in part because "he feels like they haven't put the right pieces together."

if he gets traded to the knicks or magic, i doubt those teams will ever win a ring even with cp3 running the show.

heres some nba2k11 pics

graphics looks dope

 

[exrp765]

^^ i was sceptical about gettin 2k11, i have 2k9 and skipped out on 2k10 but now im getting it for sure

 

[yak pac fatal]

^2k10 was pretty bad, smart move skippin out on it. the graphics were dope but so many glitches and its way to easy to score. im gonna wait til one of my homeboys get it first cuz i felt robbed with 2k10.

Rumors about Michael Beasley's drug use dogged him during his two disappointing seasons with the Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves president David Kahn didn't overlook the issue when he traded for Beasley earlier this month.

But Kahn continues to speak highly of the former No. 2 overall pick's potential -- in part because Beasley has assured him he's done with dope.

"He's a very young and immature kid who smoked too much marijuana and has told me that he's not smoking anymore, and I told him that I would trust him as long as that was the case," Kahn said Thursday during an interview with 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.

"He has developed a really good support system around him this past season in Miami. He's hired people to help him grow up. He is growing up -- he's not grown up. He's 21 ... and he just turned 21 last January, and if you think back, as I do all the time, to when I was 21 and if you had given me this kind of money and put me in this kind of world with these kinds of pressures attached to it and some of the demands, I don't know (that) I would have handled it any eavsier than, say, he has.

"I think that if Michael was 25 or 26, maybe I would have felt differently about things. But I feel very strongly that some of these kids simply deserve the opportunity to make mistakes and grow up. The issue is, will they learn from their mistakes? Will they grow from them? In Michael's case, there's no evidence yet to suggest he won't, meaning that he should be able to grow from these mistakes.

"So far, so good by the way. He had a very issue-free season last season in Miami. So, we expect more of the same with us. We're very cognizant that we, too, as a club have to help him with some resources and make certain that we've got everything there to help him continue to grow. But I think it's going to be fine, and he's an incredible talent, and for us to be able to land him for ... two second-round picks -- that's the kind of risk that I'll take any day of the week."

lmao wow. i still think beasley can live up to his potential. just gotta get his mind right and b motivated

 

[ArtsyGirl]

you could tell just by looking at him that he smoked too much lol..

 

[exrp765]

^^ lol...

i dont know...

its kinda like the mike vick situation. If he associates himself with people that aare smoking weed, than its gonna e difficult to just drop if all of a sudden. no matter what its gonna be around...

hes a professional ball player. He'd rather end his career just blazing and then end up having no job in a couple years? thats stupid to me..

Matt Barnes signed 2 year w/ Lakers

 

[yak pac fatal]
