Basketball purists were stunned last night when that big slow white guy, Dirk Nowitski, blew right by Chris Bosh for an easy lay-up to win the game.

No, he didn't beat Bosh with a jump shot or a dunk--he beat him with foot speed! This may set NBA basketball back 50 years!!!!

:lol::lol::lol:
 
It was technique more then footspeed, hes still slow, just very skilled.

It was a thing of beauty. For a second I thought he laid it up too hard, but it hit the front rim and stayed in.

If Larry Bird didn't set the NBA back, Nowitzki won't either. Bird was even slower! (You probably have never heard of Larry Bird, because this country has a shameful habit of hiding the achievements of white males. But check basketball-reference...he was good.)
 
Bird wouldn't be the star is was if he played in today's NBA.
 
Bird? You mean the Bird-Man in Denver??
 
I didn't see the play or the game... but are you sure Dirk wasn't trying to run right into him and Bosh accidentally moved? ;)

After the series, a distraught Dennis Rodman made the claim that if Larry Bird were black, he’d be just another guy. Isiah then made a mistake far worse than his pass in Game 5. He went on record as agreeing with Dennis

You're right. At 55 and with a bad back, even Larry Legend wouldn't now be the star he was then.

That said, I think even at 55 he could almost pull off James Jones' role in MIA.
 
I missed a Scalabrine reference?

Then again, you have people today who never saw Jordan play in a Bulls uniform posting on here, so maybe you're right. HCP, however, doesn't have that excuse.

Bosh was moved all right . . . to tears.
 
holy cow. Thanks for that. I saw the video and am now too pumped up to go to sleep!

That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

That type of widespread ignoring of white players is why I wasn't sure people would know who Bird was without explanation.

On this board, white players aren't ignored--they're just mocked and ridiculed. It's racist and yet it goes on all the time.

See The Stache for example.

2 championship rings and he still doesn't get any respect.

It is hard for a white guy to get a fair shake in this country, but maybe this play by Dirk will get him some recognition as a good player.

Nope, just on this board. For some reason, a lot of the Einsteins here like to make fun of white players--which they would never do to black players, of course. They're much too "politically sensitive" for that.

I agree, it's pretty reprehensible to make fun of players for having the handicap of being white. What makes it worse is that it's mostly white guys doing the fun-making. They should know better, since they know what it's like to be white.
 
Yeah, black guys are never made fun of (coughcoughLaMarshmellowcoughcough)

I don't remember you ever making fun of Eduardo Nájera, though.

I do. He mentioned once how he used to sell him tacos when he was mowing beer-boys lawn.
 
The Census Bureau says the US will be majority-Mexican in 30 years, so you dumb honkies better move to Canada if you don't like it. Global warming is the most self-destructive thing conservatives could possibly back, because it's getting comfie up North. Today the Southwest, next we take the Northwest! As we say where I come from, tally-ho and away we go!

That's not how to spell marshmallow.
Maybe it's marshMell-o, like Jell-o (not jello).
