Need I say more?

Air Canada, K-Mart, and The Matrix are my favs.

kobe?

idk why i said vincanity, it just sounds cool.

Why the Hell isn't "Magic" Johnson on that list??

b/c, there are too many nicknames in basktball to list everybody. to me, "magic" isn't a really orginal nickname, it's generic.

"Air Canada" and "K-mart" are more like it.

Yeah, I also like K-Mart. Magic isn't really his nickname now, everybody calls him by it like it is his real name.

I chose King James. His nickname is KING for Christ sake. Thats a powerful title. Round Mound of Rebound is my fav btw. And Kobe's nickname is Mamba in case you didn't know.

Yep Myth it is, but I thought he had another one that he wasnt well know by. Thought.

When Ruben Patterson was a Blazer, my friend and I always loved pretending to be an NBA announcer and saying, "At Small Forward, standing at 6 foot 5, hailing in from Cincinnati.... RRRRRRRUUUBEN..... The RRRRRRRRAAAPIST..... PATTERSON!"

true, but i prefer nicknames that have a perfect fit for the players. nicknames like "magic" or "king" or "the answer" really don't define the player. "Air Canada" on the other hand derives from Air Canada Centre and Vince Carter being a toronto raptor with tremendous ups. See how the name fits perfectly and uniquely? And "K-mart" the chain of superstores, is short for K enyon Mart in.

I've always been a fan Bill "Dipshit" Walton or Bill "Dumbass" Walton.

THE BIG QUIT - Vince Carter

very clever myth. even i laughed at the vince carter remark. yeah, tractor trailer should be up there, but Ha Seung-Jin hasn't fully developed in the nba. give him a little break, at least until they let him play some more minutes. instead, it should be Jason "Shouldn't be in the nba" Collins. he's a friggen starter, and he's slower than a snail.

I'm glad you found humor in that.

I think you missed my speel(sp?) on Ha from a while back. Not many have actually got to see him play since Blazer games are rarely brodcasted to areas other than Oregon. Since I have watched him play about 10 times or so live as well as many games on TV, I have decided that he should in no way be in the NBA. Many people "haven't fully developed" in the NBA, but Ha will never at the rate he is going. He is only on a squad because of his height. Usually, "projects" should be large AND show some sort of promise. He has ZERO footwork on both offense and defense. He just slaps people as they drive by him. Though my biggest complaint about him is how he is physically incapable of catching a ball. Time after time when a Blazer drives into the lane, the defense collapses and the ball is simply dropped into Ha's hands. What does Ha do? He beats the ball around between his palms like he is a cat with a ball of yarn until he fumbles it out of bounds. It has been so bad that I have called it before it happened on several occasions. In the past Blazer fans would have been pissed to have somebody so terrible on their team, but its almost like the Blazers became so boring that the entertainment was how bad Ha is. People root and cheer for him, but it comes across as a sarcastic joke.

Pretty much this sums up Blazer fans cheering for Ha:
"Hey everybody. Lets go watch the sideshow freak try to catch a ball. It will be fun!"

mean, but totally true
to me (only cuz im a kings fan)
i like when they say bibbalicious

OMG that description of Ha so reminds me of Collins, because that's exactly what Collins does. he has NO footwork, just a big body, and he couldn't handle the ball if his life depended on it.

if Ha is that bad, than he's not so much of a good comparison to Yao Ming as people say.

He's tall and he is Asian. Thats about it.

he isnt
its just cuz hes japanese or chinese or whatever and he is tall as hell

my bad accidentaly double posted

I believe he is Korean.

what's the difference?
i mean really?

There is a guy in the NBA named Ha?

Ok, you did not just say that in front of me. That's a total disrespect to me and my Korean heritage and Asians in general. Maybe next time, learn that are more than just Chinese and Japanese people among what you broadly call "Asians." There are Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai, and Taiwanese, just to name a few.

What's the difference? Man, the ignorance and obliviousness of some people to think that there is nothing wrong with saying such crap. FYI, it hurts when people say these things.

And as for Ha, yeah he's Korean.
