who else in this bitch is all about the B-BALL?

new round ball answers!

KNICKS! GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!

Though Iverson is one of the coolest NBA players. Except for Spree ... Sprewell is the coolest basketball player of them all. And he is a Knick.

If the NBA doesn't do something about all the high-schoolers & college fresh/sophs jumping into the NBA before they're actually any GOOD, the league is going to suffer big time.

That said, I prefer NCAA basketball to the pros. It's "purer". Not to make it seem as though I don't mind a little pro action once in a while. But when Michael Jordan's shooting 9 of 27 from the floor, the big men can't put the biscuit in the basket, and all the other players think they're the second coming of Darryl Dawkins, I lose my patience quick-like.

This has been another sports diatribe by daver. Thanks for reading.

"purer"? hmmm...when i was at michigan terry mills and rumeal robinson had really nice cars and fur coats.

Did you not see the quotes? Do I have to litter my beautiful prose with 95 emoticons, or the words "I'M BEING SARCASTIC!?!?!" I mean, I was @ UConn - I heard how Donyell Marshall and Travis Knight and, oh, yeah, Ray Allen were treated. And, lordy, what about the women's team in Storrs? Ridiculous, yes.

Hence, said quotes.

Lindsay Hunter looks good so far. Mitch Richmond will get it going. Rick Fox is rocking a top-knot, samurai style, but his wife is really quite attractive. Robert Horry makes me grin. Shaq is showing that he can dominate at 384 pounds. Kobe is now in his sixth year, which is kind of trippy. It's a hundred-game victory lap for the Lakers and nothing could be more beautiful. Do yourself a favor and don't miss a minute.

The Lakers win in 5. They will win every Final until Shaq retires.

Basketball sucks. I've never met a basketball player that I didn't think was the biggest asshole alive.

Basketball = tedious and boring, but the only sport I don't think that about is hockey because of the ultraviolence.

The Lakers will win in THREE. Getting rid of JR Rider does them more good than securing Hunter AND Richmond. Zen Master my ass - give Rick Pitino the Lakers, and they'd still be a dynasty. (Just as long as he's locked out of the GM's office.)

gurls are dumb.

(all professional athletes - whether they're selling chunky soup and lovin their mamas on tv or not - are massively fucked consciousness- wise. but thinking about the futility and uselessness of professional sports is a bit like the whole universe-in-the-atom-on-a- dogs-tail deal...think about it too much and you will go insane. yay capitalism!)

and the lakers will probably take it all again, but they can still lick deez nutz.

Around 1991 or so, the NBA went from being "showtime" to being a damn show (produced by David Stern, starring Michael Jordan, and brought to you by Nike...I mean, the NBA is the only league where the players know the officials on a first name basis!). And then, just when teams like the Sixers and the Mavs start making it interesting again, and they finally get rid of that stupid illegal defense rule, back comes Jordan to fuck everything up. The season is way too long and doesn't mean anything since half the teams make the playoffs anyway. The crowd at an NBA game is like a damn yuppie convention. I miss Larry Bird (Dirk Nowitzki is my new favorite player).

Bring back the short pants!! (it wouldn't hurt the ladies' game either, r0Wr!)

Mr. Hand, I request that you keep your bestial fantasies to yourself.
