NBA discussion thread

😆 My work is done then.

did you guys vote on the photo of the year on NBA.com? i know vince and kobe have dominated these contests, but this time, i think its Big Ben's block on shaq and lil' nate's dunk over spud webb that are facing off in the championship round. and i think nate's dunk will win it. cuz that was plain sick. even though i like ben's block just as much. i actually saw that one live. boy it was hilarious. 😆 not only did he deny the dunk and force a jump ball, but then he went and won the jump ball! priceless.

The Jamal Crawford one is pretty sick to.
Did you notice that Nate doesnt even have a proper handle on the ball? That makes that dunk even more amazing.
That was a very bad day at the office for Shaq.
Pretty lame photos of the high flyers like Kobe, Bron, Wade and Carter. Im pretty sure they could have found better.

they probably wanted someone different to win it this time.

I like the Wade one best. I also noticed they used a Shaq one. Its a cool picture, but it is just like every other pic of Shaq dunking so it doesn't feel unique.

youd pick the wade one over the Nate Robinson one? i mean people can vote for their favorite player, but i mean i hate the knicks, and i still give it to little nate hands down. i love the ben wallace blocking shaq one, it made me laugh, but i still have to give it to robinson.

they couldnt have presented a worse picture for kobe, because its showing that iverson is blocking him...yes, IVERSON.

I know thats just shameful, they obviously dont want Kobe to repeat. 😉

last year, that picture of kobe doing a facial on dwight howard was pretty sick, but i was surprised that the one with josh smith in the allstar dunk contest with the windmill over k-mart didnt go that far. i remember the picture showed him in the middle of the windmill where his arm was fully extended. i think that should have won, or at least made it to the final round

Apparently when I first looked at the picture, my computer must have screwed up and didn't show me the whole picture. The first time I looked, it cut off the pic from the middle of Spudd's head and down. I was thinking that it was bad in the sense of a pic because it was cutting his head in half. Though with a second look, I would pick that pic. The Wade one is still my second. The position he is in is simply crazy.

Also, why is Kobe's dunk on Nash not featured?

i guess they entered sucky pictures of vince and kobe because out of the 9 photo of the year contests, kobe has won 4 and vince has won 3. so, they dont want either of them to repeat. kobe's dunk on nash is not there for the same reason vince's monster jam on alonzo mourning isnt either. a lot of the pictures arent the best from the players. but obviously robinson's dunk over spud was his best this year.

The league is hatin on Kobe. Especially the 05-06 season. Billl Walton seemed to appreciate him tho.

Thats because Walton for no good reason has always loved the Lakers (yes, even before Luke was there). It makes no since because he played for the Blazers and the Celtics, two teams where the Lakers are enemy #1.

maybe playing for an arch rival of that team gives you a certain respect for them?

I think he just has good sense and a great understanding of the game.

I'd believe that if he didn't root for them OVER his former teams. I think he wants the Blazers to never have success again for the simple fact that he will stay the Blazers only Finals MVP. Just a theory.

sorry about this, but im about to blow. 😘

it seems such a long time since the finals ended, and yet, the offseason is still a month and a half incomplete. im trying not to think about it too much, but i cant take it. i dont know how much longer i can wait for this damn season to start, so we can actually talk about things that are happening instead of things that HAPPENED.

Bill Walton is the ultimate deuchebag, that's my theroy.

Thats a very good theory. The sad thing is that he is the only Finals MVP in the history of my life long favorite franchise and I still hate him.

Bummer, if Walton was the only Pistons MVP I would probaly have to cry myself to sleep after every Pistons game.

I know this has nothing to do with the NBA but since it's the off season and it's been kinda slow around here lately, just thought I'd post this funny clip I found..

I don't recall ever seeing this but it's pretty funny, especially for a commercial.
