I'm thinking that thanks to the possible lockout, it gave these guys a lot of time to state their case on why they should stay

and I like the fact that they are backed by a former NBA player-turned Mayor

 

[Xsyven]

I was so hoping the Kings would relocate to Vegas.

A man can dream.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Have the Kings been in Las Vegas, there Miami no?

 

[Orboknown]

I dont think the kings are or were ever in Miami florida

 

[The Real Gamer]

Too many things to laugh about in a 48 second video.

...Miami has the Heat.

Vegas has never had a team.

 

[LAW2222]

Spoiler

[Jane]

Zombie Sonic Fans still lurk on these boards...

yup seattle summers are top tier
but i also enjoy the rainy season too so i'm set year round
but sometimes the rain gets pretty awful lol

 

[Masmasher@]

Seattle should get a team back
they were robbed


i know im late on updates but are we still predicted to have a 50 game season

 

[Xsyven]

Lockout rumors have taken an unexpected turn for the better.

Both sides are very hush hush, but they've been meeting more and more, and apparently giving good vibes.

 

[theeboredone]

I always liked Gordon Hayward...now he's a top 3 player for me.

http://pc.ign.com/articles/119/1192769p1.html

Probably as cool as finding out Andrew Bynum enjoys building PCs.

 

[Xsyven]

Except Bynum is a terrible person. I don't care that be builds PC's.

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah I know. Bynum is a douche bag lol. Not saying Bynum is on my fav player list, but finding out he builds PCs for a hobby is pretty neat.

 

[The Real Gamer]

How exactly is Bynum a terrible guy?

 

[Maaaaaaaaaan]

He's a fake tough guy. Well, not too fake. That's more a Chris Bosh descriptor.

Anyways, set up a new Xat for all sports chat for live events. Watching the NFL opener right now.

[theeboredone]

Bynum parks in handicap spaces because he can "afford" to pay the tickets off. Class A douche bag.

 

[Jane]

i park in handicap spots because i have my grandmas handicap thing.

 

[Xsyven]

On top of parking in handicapped spots, he's a very disrespectful player.

When being blown out of the playoffs, he feels the need to tackle other players, take his shirt off, and walk away to the locker room.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBfvmJIxwPQ&feature=related

This is something he just does.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed3umTuRTqo

He even sent Wallace to the hospital.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbcjL7AVxMA

I dunno, just a very dirty player. Don't respect the guy at all.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Ahhhhh I completely forgot about the Barea tackle yeah that was definitely one of the dirtiest plays I've watched in the NBA.

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, kid needs to grow up. Has all the talent in the world to be great, but I'd rather him be a player with morals than a great player who's just a punk.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I'd personally like to see him try something like that with Dwight Howard.

 

[theeboredone]

So while I'm not interested in the NCAA, this part made me laugh.

[Host Change]

That's pretty pathetic... There are people who are hurting out there that really need those spots. I'm a Lakers fan personally but I have never liked him one bit...

I mean my sister is pretty bad off special needs, so we have a handicap tag for a reason. Other people that have money like that don't need to park in those spots... I mean he's a professional basketball player. It's not like walking an extra 10 cars length is going to kill him. And of all people to be lazy, why someone like that? :/

 

[theeboredone]

Yah who knows.

In other news, turns out Haslem was playing hurt in the Finals. He's always been my favorite Heat player and it only makes me like him more.

Morrison is gonna play in Europe. Morrison 2 rings > LBJ 0.

wow, im just shocked at this

 

[theeboredone]

Nash wasn't even trying...

If I was playing Bieber, I'd make it an effort to shut him down every single time he touches the ball.

 

[Jane]

charles barkley is a god.


also, why does everyone hate justin bieber so much? just cuz everyone else does it or what? lol

 

[The Real Gamer]

The fact that he's the most popular artist out there since real artists like Michael Jackson really ticks me off.

How can people worship such an overrated kid that looks like he's 13?

 

[Jane]

he definitely isnt the most popular artist out. he is very popular, yes, just like a lot of much stupider celebrities. not everyone can be MJ.

its just weird to me how everyone loves to pick on him haha. he never did anything wrong. just make pop music.

 

[theeboredone]

charles barkley is a god.


also, why does everyone hate justin bieber so much? just cuz everyone else does it or what? lol

He doesn't write his own music (this is my biggest one), his music is super generic, and he has the ego the size of the empire state building.

And his fashion sometimes is just ********.

 

[The Real Gamer]

he definitely isnt the most popular artist out. he is very popular, yes, just like a lot of much stupider celebrities. not everyone can be MJ.

You do realize he has like THE most popular video on Youtube, right? Unless something else passed it recently and I am unaware of it. He's also ALWAYS the #1 most talked about and active artist on social networking sites according to billboard.com. Needless to say, if he's not the most popular of the past couple of years, he's pretty damn close.

That plus what TBO said about him being cocky... Added onto the fact that the kid looks like he's 12. I just don't get what all they hype around him is about. There's obviously too many 13 year old girls on the internet.

IN OTHER NEWS, there are rumors going around that GMs and coaches can now talk to their players. My hopes for there being an NBA season are getting higher and higher as time goes on.

 

[Xsyven]

Report: Fisher sent players text saying to be physically ready for season.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....ext-saying-to-be-physically-ready-for-season/

What a fantastic headline.

 

[theeboredone]

my body is ready

 

[frotaz37]

Aha yeah right, it's been like 5 or 6 years since Fisher was physically ready for a season.

 

[theeboredone]

the last point guard that had his body ready for the Lakers was...

Derek Fisher during the 3 peat LOL.

 

[frotaz37]

It's so sad, but so true.
I dunno, I feel like he could get away with it in Phil Jacksons system but even in that he started becoming somewhat of a burden.
