"OFFICIAL" Around the NBA - December Thread

[riverman]

I say we have them fight it out in a series of MTV's NBA Celebrity Death Matches!

They probably have the technology to do it with virtual reality programs now or if not, it won't be long.

 

[riverman]

To follow my logic, you have to understand I was never a Bulls fan or Phil Jackson fan. I wanted the Jazz to destroy them in both playoffs.

Kerr won 4 in a row from 96-99. Who was the last person to do that? And yes, Kerr won again in 03. Had the game of his life in Game 6 of WCF.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kerr also hit the championship winning shot in 97.

East jersey

West's jersey

Much better than the sleeved garbage from last year.

That's a neat story. Still doesn't prove he had more titles than Jordan

Wow... Well I don't feel as comfortable with our lead now

 

[illmatic99]

ugh. Why are they rushing him back with Russ playing already?

You mean like The Super Fight Rocky Marciano vs. Muhammad Ali?

Let me know when you find one. I'll watch it.

People call Ali the greatest but lb for lb, Marvin Hagler was maybe the greatest boxer to put on gloves.

I loved Showtime when I was a kid. You guys know this.

 

[THE HCP]

Worthy, Baylor, Magic, Green, Perkins, Scott, Rambis...that showtime team was deep. In that team's prime, the Bulls would've had trouble winning a best of 7.

Don't want to be like JinxSpeed and call you out for a mistake, but I think Elgin Baylor missed Showtime by a few years.

Good catch, surprised I didn't have West on that lineup in error as well....my bad. One day I'll learn to google stats instead of search my jaded memory cells. Apologies to Baylor.

This made my day! Terry would be a great assist coach too! One of my all time favorite Blazers!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Is an ambassador a paid position? I wouldn't think so but with the way teams throw around money....

Drake was (probably still is) TOR's team ambassador.

Can anyone name our current ambassadors?

Jerome Kersey, The Schonz, and Brian Grant are the only ones I can think of right now.

Not bad. Apparently you can add Harry Glickman and Bob Gross to the list.

That kind of makes me sad. Terry deserves better. Except not on the evidence of his coaching history.

This is not the move a playoff-bound team makes.

Babbit is so good he affects the offense of the team that inherited the old name of the Pelicans.

What is more likely? Cavs lose in first round, ESPN stops d-riding Cavs even though they suck?

Easily cavs losing the first round. To ESPN, they'll be no more playoffs, but plenty of kleenex to sop up their disappointment that they are a joke of a network that doesn't deserve to cover sports.


Oh wait, they don't cover sports, nevermind.

Maybe Buck Williams, Antonio Harvey and Chris Dudley

Buck disappeared after being an assistant coach for our team.

The Nets are apparently trying to have him become an ambassador for their team.
