Wow, Chicago beat Milwaukee last night! Check out the article!

Chicago Bulls Secure Crucial Victory Against Milwaukee Bucks as Alex Caruso Returns to Action - The UBJ - United Business Journal

For you old guys not in the know like us cool guys, the article inaccurately reported which team won. It lacked details, as if AI had written an article for either outcome days in advance, and someone had later pushed the button on the wrong article.

Anfernee might need 60+ to send that game into OT

You kids might need to ask the Google machine what that means.

I was playing in a very easy-going pick-up game when I was 44 and threw my back out making a bounce pass

I threw out my back sneezing once.

Good God that name brings back so many memories. That was my childhood sports broadcaster for sure.

This is from 2017, and I gotta actually read the tribune article... But man ed Whalen was fucking awesome.

Though in this article, his given name (IIRC) is Wayland boot? Or something close to that.

Dudes a legend.

Ok small statues then in Cleveland, Miami, and LA

No he’s probably not wrong but why Gilbert Arenas saying this? What team did he play for? When?

Why is that relevant? I don't have to be an NBA hall-of-famer to have a valid opinion on a topic like this.

I don't know? Just seems like he is playing for clicks on something like that? Valid opinion maybe, but to weigh in on something he has no real say about and actually never even played for the team in question seems a bit out of line? Now if this was Magic or Jabbar or even someone like Derrick Fischer or Big shot Bob? I could see it.
The fact is James did bring a Chip to LA. He did surpass Jabbar in LA. He did eclipse 40,000 points in LA.
Here's my valid opinion. James has earned the respect he gets. If the Lakers organization want's to build him a statue that is their prerogative.

Oh and by the way.

Big time asterisk.

 

[kjironman1]

Big time asterisk.

Interested if you would put that same asterisk just as big in front of that championship if it were Portland that won it?

I would. But that’s just me.
