sharing NBA Rumors and Stories Daily

I think he is, look on youtube

I think Orlando will lose. They haven’t done very well in road games this season.
What do you think?
Final Score 89 – 104 i think.
Closest score gets BA.
BQ: Who will score the highest for Magic, and Spurs?
Vince Carter, and Tim Duncan in my opinion

The thing that bothers me is that many commentators and fans alike say that Kobe needs to win one more title to be on an equal footing with Jordan. I will not even talk about stats that heavily favor Jordan. Let’s only talk about the number of titles. The first 3 titles Kobe won – he was not the leader of that team, Shaq was. Of course one can argue that he produced some impressive stats, 4th quarter heroics and game winners and could therefore be considered as some sort of a co-leader. However, for better or worse, Shaq was the one who bore the scrutiny of the media and the fans when things went south and he himself recognized as much. Kobe got to play the hero when they won and was mostly exempted of scorn when they didn’t. A good example is the 2004 Finals loss to the Pistons where Kobe freelanced and shot around 30% and didn’t pass the rock enough to Shaq who was having his usual dominant Finals (over 60% FG including 30+ pt and 20+ rebounds performance). Even Phil Jackson in his book recognized that Kobe should have gotten a big part of the blame for this disappointing end-result. However, it was Shaq that got all the blame because he was seen as the leader of the team. After Shaq was shipped out, Kobe got to see firsthand what it meant to be the leader of one’s team. After some growing up pains (missing playoffs or losing in the first round), he has embraced his role and lead the Lakers to 2 consecutive titles. And whatever the people are saying, he is the leader of this team and not Pau, although the latter has also had some impressive stats and performances like Kobe did during the Shaq years.
Long story short, if Michael Jordan forced his way to an already established team, such as Lakers or Boston (like Kobe did by refusing to play for Charlotte that drafted him, although he could have been “the man” there right from the beginning) instead of accepting his role as a hero and “the man” in Chicago, he could have easily won 3 titles or more alongside Bird and Magic just as Kobe did alongside Shaq. And after those all-time greats declined or retired, he could have gone on winning titles to challenge Bill Russel’s all-time record of 11 titles. That is why I feel that Kobe’s 5 championships are not really comparable to MJ’s 6, only the last 2 are. However, I’m not saying either that these (titles won during Shaq years) are Rober Horry’s titles (who was strictly a role player in all his teams) and that he has to win at least 4 to equal Jordan. It is more nuanced than that and that is why I’m asking this question here.

I have never seen DWade play so bad.
In his last 3 games he has made 11 of 47 shot attempts.
BQ: Is Wade the reason for the Heat’s struggles?

Deron Williams and the Jazz beat Chris Paul and the Hornets 105 to 87.
Deron Williams led all scorers with 26 points and 11 assists. DWill also added 5 steals and 3 rebounds.
Chris Paul finished the game with 17 points and 9 assists.
Deron Williams and the Jazz are 11-5 on the season DWill is averaging 21.2 points per game and 9.8 assists per game.
Chris Paul and the Hornets are 11-3 on the season Paul is averaging 16.6 points per game and 10.1 assists per game.
BQ: Who do you think is the best PG and why?

and you signed Chris Bosh & Joe Johnson during this past Summer of Free Agency period and one signed a MAX deal(Bosh) and the other didnt(Johnson), how would you fill out the rest of the starting 5? NOTE: Remember other free agent players and players you’d try to trade for.
Starting 5:
PG-???
SG-Joe Johnson
SF-???
PF-Chris Bosh
C-???
NO BRON, NO WADE, NO AMARE.

As all of you know I don’t like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or LeBron James.
One myth about Michael was that he made his teammates better.
Larry Bird and Magic made their teammates better.
If you think Michael made his teammates better then you obviously are in denial.
He punched his own teammate, told Bill that he won it all by himself, and called Kwame Brown a flaming *****.
His team didn’t win a championship in his first retirement but they didn’t lose a beat.
Michael did not make his teammates better.
Anybody that says otherwise is either a homer, jocker, stan or just plain ignorant.
My question to you is if you are ignorant or not?

i mean i didnt know who to chose so i just gave it to demarcus cousins. they should have added tim duncan,pau gasol etc to the centers ballot right? i realy dont think any of the guys on there deserve to be nba allstars dont u?

This is who I think will start in the all-star game, not who I want to start.
West
Chris Paul-Possibly the best point guard in the league. More popular than DWill.
Kobe Bryant-Still the most popular player in the NBA. Best closer.
Kevin Durant-Scoring leader.
Carmelo Anthony-I think Gasol or Nowitzki should get this but it’s a popularity contest.
Yao Ming-Yes he’s been injured. Think about all the China votes.
East
Dwyane Wade-Probably the most popular guard in the east.
Derrick Rose-Getting better and better
Lebron James-Best all around player
Chris Bosh/Amare Stoudemire-Not sure who’s more popular
Dwight Howard-Best center

That’s right DWill is 12 wins and 3 loses vs. CP3 in their careers!
That isn’t one game that is a career head-to-head matchup CP3 fan boyz!
BQ: What you got say now CP3 fanboyz?
