^^^it a cool tattoo, but I'm not sure about those tadpole looking things that appear in a few spots. Kind of random if you ask me, but hey, I'm not much of an artist.

Drummond living that life.

Chances are high that a train was ran that night.

Naaaaaaah, I doubt it. Dre is still a young boy. I think he is really trying to cuff. Shorty is cool in a quirky cute kind of way too. I aint mad at him

including shoes though, thats not even fair

True. Seemed like MJ got just as many shoe mentions as player mentions.

Side note, what other shoes have been mentioned in songs besides Jordan's? I remember Adidas, Ewings and AF 1s and that's it.

 

[airjordan jb23]

This sounds alot like VC 

Nope, Vince was the man for the majority of his career(99-09) and he made the playoffs more often and was a better scorer.

yup & he did more besides putting up points... his rebounding & assist #'s have always been impressive to go along with his scoring.

saw this on twitter

Robert Horry, '95 Finals: 18, 10, 4, 3 & 2 on 43%FG = "role-player"

Kobe, '00 Finals: 15, 4 & 4 on 36%FG = "his ring"

Brilliant.

That's 'brilliant'? Kobe was injured during that Finals series.



Kobe, '00 playoffs: 21, 4, 5, on 44% FG (in 22 games)
Horry, '95 playoffs: 13, 7, 4 on 44% FG (in 22 games)



And who says that first ring was "Kobe's ring"? Who ever says that?

Everyone knows Shaq was the clear #1 during that first championship run. But post 2000 there's an argument for them being 1a/1b, particularly in the West playoffs. Shaq was still the deserving Finals MVP each time but comparing Kobe to Horry is just stupid.

 

[sohi 23]

Kobe's average in the Finals was skewed cause he played like 6 minutes in 1 game due to his ankle

 

[CP1708]

Game 2.

And he missed game 3.

 

[seymore cake]

I really wish I could go back and watch those LA playoff runs.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Thibs said Rose added range to his game.

Rose is shook, he not touching the paint this season..

He is shook and not touching the paint because he made one of his weakness a strength?

AI made the finals in '01, but he beat a .500 Pacer team in round 1, an old Raptor team in round 2 with prime Vince, and a young Bucks team in round 3 (the last two series that went 7) all when the east was basically declining. AI definitely deserved MVP that year despite averaging 31.1 PPG on basically averaging 11/25 shooting for all intents and purposes. One of the main reasons why he got there was because of Coach Brown. When Brown left, Iverson didn't even get past the second round. 

That's the most excuses I've ever seen. During that trip to the Finals that they beat up on these "tired, old teams" they also beat the Lakers who hadn't lost a single game all playoffs to that point. One of the most dominant teams of all-time and Iverson singlehandlely wouldn't let them lose that game. One of the greatest performances I've ever seen in my life.

Lets not act like after that season they still never got him any legitimate help. They kept trying to get guys that had bad injuries or were way past their prime like Webber, Glenn Robinson and Keith Van Horn. You wanna talk about how bad Mitch Richmond's teams were....Iverson's sure as hell weren't any better. And he also did get to the Conference Finals with the Nuggets once after that year. I don't know why you're even putting him in the same sentence as Richmond to begin with. And no....Richmond was never as good as prime T-Mac or prime VC either.

I gave you actual facts. Everything I said about those teams were true. I looked them up and didn't make them up. I only mentioned one team as being old-the Raptors, which they were with the exception of VC. Iverson NEVER got help nor did they attempt to get him any real help once they figured out it wouldn't work. That entire team was build specifically around him. You can't say the same thing for Richmond. When I said Brown left, I meant him in Philly, I remember him going that far with Denver, which was the most talented team he's ever been on. KVH never played D, Robinson also wasn't a known team player, he was basically like AI, and Webber was already slowed by injuries, those hardly qualified as any real help if you ask me. He did play well in game 1 of the finals, but the Lakers made quick work of them shortly after. One of the most dominant playoff runs of all time? Yes, the record indicates so. Dominant teams ever? Pump your brakes. 

When I posted those numbers I wasn't comparing Richmond to AI, of course I think AI was a better player than Richmond, that goes without saying. His line was put for perspective in comparison to the other players. Any fool with two eyes can look at the numbers and see AI was better than all of them. The argument was for Richmond's career numbers vs T-Mac and VC. They are pretty comparable, no? Richmond was never as exciting as those two, which is the better word, but he damn sure was as productive or even more so.

Derrick been pullin' threes and long two's. I guess Thibs saying Derrick gonna bang em' at a higher clip.

Anthony Bennett tat is iiiiight.

Vinsanity was disgusting during the Toronto and early New Jersey years. Homeboy said Desmond Mason was nicer than Vince though.......

We will all miss T-Mac. Dude was an amazing talent.

How much is League Pass for the whole season?
