7/15/2009 JD: Who's your favorite NBA player -- past or present -- who never played for the Trail Blazers?

PrintFor me, this is an extraordinarily tough question. It gets even more difficult due to my inability to include any former Seattle SuperSonics, as I grew up a fan of the green and gold -- as well as occasionally red -- before the frachise's dismaying departure to Oklahoma City.
Anyhow, with regards to active players, my favorite guy to watch play the game is none other than Kirk Hinrich.
Unlike most perimeter players, his style of hard-nosed, yet smart defense is optimum in an era where hand-checking and bumping leads to foul calls on guards.
Hinrich, moreover, is capable of defending not only point guards, but also wing players -- both big and small -- which is an astounding quality to be possessed by a 6'3" guy. In fact, it's his most unique skill.
Lastly, Hinrich is versatile on offense and can fill numerous roles -- whether it's as a pick-'n'-roll point, a two guard who comes off of screens and hits jumpers, or a 3 who sits in the weakside corner and waits for the perfect pass to drain a spot-up three-pointer -- which shows that he's a real team player.
Oh, and when it comes to my favorite player as a kid growing up during the mid-'90s, here's an awesome highlight video to provide visual evidence as to the reason behind my choice.

Larry Bird.
Though that may change if I think about it some more. Dr J was definitely under consideration.
Duncan and Robinson both...
Those guys would have made great Blazers.

Yeah, I tried to copy his shake moves on the playground
Being about 2 feet shorter at the time, and likely committing a ton of travels although I did try to do star steps. Fake right, turn shoulder to fake left, turn over baseline for the layup. I wonder how long he was in the paint sometimes to do those moves, but it was awesome to watch.

"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Really tough question.
If I had to create an all-time lineup of my favorites, it’d probably be:
Chris Paul
Manu
Pippen
Duncan
Hakeem
I’ll have to think about it a little more, though.
draft the stache
I was going to say Pippen
But then I remembered his few tragic years with the B’zers
Dictated, not read. The management.
I still think of him as a Bull.

I'd've loved to see a frontcourt of Patrick Ewing at center, Hakeem Olajuwon at power forward, and ...
Robinson at small forward during the mid-‘90s. With a backcourt duo of Dan Majerle and John Stockton, that quintent would’ve ruled the 1993-1994 season with something insane such as a 75-7 record and an unimpeded run to the title.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
what robinson do you mean?
surely not david, but I’m not sure if Glenn Robinson was in the league that long ago
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I meant David Robinson, who played small forward at times when with the San Antonio Spurs.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
that would be bizarre, having htose three bigs on the floor at the same time. Talk about shot blocking ability.
draft the stache
It would be an interesting frontcourt, as well as one that I'd've paid to watch with my ...
own saved up allowance money as a giddy 10-year-old brat back in the day. Alas, it was a pipe dream.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
sounds like an awkward lineup
David Robinson can be the 6th man…..I think you should pick a different small forward…or not, I guess it’s your dream lineup
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
That lineup would win games by a score of 77 to 66 on a consistent basis, so I'd love it.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
well you certainly wouldn't want to go into the paint against them
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Yeah, the painted area would be off limits.
Oh, and for what it’s worth, I’d hire Mike “The Czar” Fratello to coach them.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yeah, I should've put Reggie Miller there due to his ability to spread the floor and come off of ...
screens to hit clutch shots. Yet, as it were, my love of Dan Majerle screwed up my rational thought.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
the thing about your big man trio
that sets it apart from other (read: ridiculous) big man trios like Oden, Pryzbilla, Aldridge is that each of them can step out and hit the 18 footer so floor spacing is less of an issue.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Ah, therein lies the coolness of Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, and David Robinson.
Those three guys could’ve theoretically succeeded alongside one another on a frontcourt.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
personally, I'd still go with a more prototypical wing player
plus it would just be badass to bring David Robinson off your bench in a non all star game.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
"it would just be badass to bring David Robinson off your bench in a [...] game."
Ha-ha!
Joe Kleine wouldn’t know what hit him!

Robertson
Roy
Hawkins
LeBron
Sabonis

Robertson
The Big O was the only guy to ever AVERAGE a triple double for a whole season. His athleticism is not really in question, I don’t think.
I wanna be Brandon Roy when I grow up!
In fairness
When you adjust for the ridiculous pace played back then, Lebron James also averages a triple double with like 40/10.7/10.4 lines.
I think Magic did too.

Nonetheless, good call on KJ.

Wow, if you haven't checked out Dave's new front page post, head on over
He drops a bit of a bombshell about the “unnamed sources” talking about Portland and KP.
Charles Barkley
I loved the fact that he gave hope for small guys like me to play big
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
As an example of how easily this goes down and how suspect it is, let me share this absolutely legit, yet anonymous, piece of information with you. I have it from two independent sources among the national media corps that much of the news and criticism attributed to the Blazers this year via “unnamed sources” has actually stemmed from Denver Nuggets GM Mark Warkentien. Naturally neither of these sources is willing to go on the record but they are in a position to know, every bit as much as every “unnamed GM” is in a position to know about the inner workings of the NBA.
Now, maybe Mr. Warkentien is a genius and has everything pegged as it is. Maybe Mr. Warkentien has lingering memories (of whatever kind) from his decade coming up the ranks in the Blazers’ front office. Maybe Mr. Warkentien is looking at a division rival with whom he is competing directly and that colors his vision. We don’t know…and that’s the point. If more of us were aware of this kind of ill-kept secret it would put the information we’re receiving in perspective as something to chew on, but not to swallow whole.
Check yesterday's junk drawer, I put in something about him. He praises Trader Bob for teaching him some things.
If you want to trade our spare parts for Devin Harris, I have three quarters I would like to trade for your dollar
To put it simply, Denver Nuggets Vice President of Basketball Operations has thus far been a more ...
successful front office executive than Portland Trail Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard. Aside from any anger the two men may share for each other, the success of the former versus the mediocrity of the latter is what’s of the utmost importance.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Ugh, I forgot to put the article the before "Denver" in that above comment of mine.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
That might be true, but y'all can call me mediocre.
My grammar is so hideous that I forgot to use an article!
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
You live for hyperbole sometimes, don't ya?
Both have done good rebuild jobs in different situations. This topic can’t really be judged for at least 5 more years.
I don't really "live for hyperbole," but rather absolutes.
If nothing else, my comments deal most often with absolutes.
My absolutes do occasionally backfire on me in the end, though.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Fair enough, arguably wrong terminology on my part!
But yeah, KP had his off-season plan backfire. But how he recovers from this will define him as much as the 2006 draft, and the big three contract negotiations will.
Way too soon for blanket statements about KP’s success or failure (or mediocrity).
Yeah, I do agree with your last sentence.
Well, at least the rational side of my agrees.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
He might be better on the negotiating and "fluffy" side of the business
Maybe KP is a bit too technical in some of those regards.
If you want to trade our spare parts for Devin Harris, I have three quarters I would like to trade for your dollar
I find it funny
that a quote is used regarding disinformation (and outright lies) of a rival GM and your conclusion is that the rival GM is better at his job than KP, the victim of the disinformation.

Regarding Mark Warkentien, Here's a post of mine from 2008.
“Mark Warkentien has done an excellent job these past several months.
With regards to the Marcus Camby trade, I’m shocked that people didn’t understand how amazing of a salary dump that was from the onset. Camby, who’s hugely overrated by unbalanced statistical metrics such as Wages of Wins, exemplifies how gobbling up numerous rebounds and tallying up eye-popping blocks via weakside help doesn’t make someone a great defender.
Warkentien, by the way, is currently on pace to win this season’s NBA Executive of the Year Award."
http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/12/7/684119/postgame-geek-out-thread#10526801
I’ve been consistent about my positive feelings toward Warkentien for a long period of time.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yes .....you establish that you were pro-Warkentien going in
but you responded to the quote regarding his disinformation about KP and the Blazers by stating that he is better GM than KP. I find this interesting……..since the quote (if true) shows Warkentien being ethically sketchy at best and also implies that you believe KP should adopt these tactics so he can as good a GM as Warkentien. If I have read too much into your comment, I am sorry…but that is the the way I interpretted it.
PS I don’t agree with you on your evaluation of KP’s performance in relationship to Warkentien. Keep in mind that this young Blazer team is a few years behind Denver on the experience curve and they still won the same number of regular season games and Denver got a much, much more favorable draw in the playoff seedings.

I have to say I also admired what that Utah team with Stockton, Malone (I rather hate him now) and Hornacek could do as a kid. And MJ with Pippen. I really liked whenever those teams met.

Basically a spot up shooter with and akward shot.
His mixes bore me to death.
Carmelo
Better than people realize.
Also he causes mismatches EVERY night and can score on anyone in the league
Was and always will be:
Scottie Pippen.
One of the most versatile, underrated players to play the game. And I’ll argue with anybody who doesn’t think he belongs in the top 50 of all-time players. Could guard the 1-4, could play the 1-4, did almost everything well (except taking the shotgun seat in one game to let Kukoc drive), and played the game the way it’s supposed to be played. Loved watching him as I grew up.
I don't think anyone would argue with you
and he is in the top 50 players and I don’t think anyone underrates him
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Underrated?
A lot of people said he was a top 5 player in the NBA… not sure how that is underrating a guy who played at the same time as some pretty amazing centers and MJ.
The Princess of Blazersedge
Because people still think of him as MJ's lackey rather than a legit NBA player in his own right
There are plenty of ex-players/coaches from the 90s who have a dislike for Pippen because he was not shy about criticizing other teams. Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson dragged him through the dirt once during an ESPN broadcast.
On the other hand, anyone who has played with Scottie has nothing but amazing stuff to say. Barkley has told Jordan numerous times he should kiss the ground Pippen walks on.

I guess underrating is the wrong word
Under appreciated? I dunno, there are a lot of people outside Chicago who don’t have much respect for Pippen.

Wilt no doubt
Best physical specimen ever to play the game.
Lot of Wilt stories people don’t know anymore. Want a big man to score? He was best for decades. Want a big man to rebound? How about a career average over 20 – best ever? Want a big man to block shots? They did not have stats then but the goal tending rules were for Wilt. Want a big man to pass? He led the league one year in assists. Want a big man who is durable? Wilt played every minute of every game all year every year but one. Strong? Wilt was extraordinary. He once offered to Box Mohammed Ali and Ali declined. With Wilt’s coordination and strength and reach it was a wise decision.
you know one huge difference between Wilt and Shaq?
the NBA changed rules to stop Wilt whereas the rules aren’t consistently applied to Shaq.
Opposing big men couldn’t defend Shaq because he was allowed to get away with knocking people over. On the other hand, opposing big men couldn’t defend Wilt because of how skilled he was.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
there have been plenty of big bruising guys...
who did not put up 1/10 the stats that shaq did. he’s an immensely skilled player. you’re selling him short. he’s not on the all time scoring list because he was “allowed to knock people over”.
wilt chamberlain is the most dominant player in nba history but i don’t see how that lessens shaq’s legacy.
fair enough
yes, shaq is/was a skilled big man, but he resorted to the old knock you down with my huge butt routine way more than he should have been allowed. Shaq is one of the best centers of all time, but my original point stands: rules were changed to hinder Wilt while Shaq got away with metaphorical murder.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Shaq annoys me at times
But there are many thousands of people alive built like him. Only one of them have managed to succeed in the NBA.

i grew up in new england
but even though i was supposed to hate him, i couldn’t because he was so amazing to watch play – Magic Johnson.

oh and lamarcus aldridge really reminds me of a youngish robert parrish.

ah, thanks for the clarification
when most people talk about Greg and name drop the all time greats they usually are implying they expect that of Greg. The use of the word benchmark is probably what did it. To me, that says this is the basic standard we are holding you to, it may be a superstar standard, but we are holding you to it.
When I think Oden’s bench mark next year I first think of 30-32 minutes a game. Then, I go along the lines of 14-11-2. I think that’s a successful year.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Greg was 8.9, 7.0, 1.1 in 21.5 minutes played in 2008-2009.
extrapolate to 36 minutes per game you get 14.9, 11.7, 1.8
Throw in the fact that they seemed to avoid Oden on some plays due to trust issues (or whatever other reasons), and I think you can up the extrapolation by 10-15% when experience is also factored in.
So I’ll go on record as 16.4, 12.9, 2.0 (this was based on 10%)
and since I’m not expecting 36 minutes per game I’ll stay with the 10% vrs the 15%

Here's my previously stated viewpoint on this issue.
“Yeah, the early comparisons some people made of Greg Oden to Shaquille O’Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon were far-fetched pipe dreams. Oden has neither the brute strength of O’Neal nor the insane athleticism of Olajuwon, who are two of the most unique specimens in basketball history. Regardless of that, though, Oden does measure out as mighty similar to Patrick Ewing during his upperclassman years at Georgetown. After a couple more seasons of NBA basketball under Oden’s belt — which, of course is contingent upon him staying relatively healthy — most folks will finally begin to see the light.”

Charles Barkley
Hands down.
Before EVERY Blazer game Charles made himself available to any kid or old folk who just wanted to say hello. All you had to do was stand along the baseline, and he would approach you. Never too busy to take a photo with you or have a chat. During all those years he played with Philly, we would arrive 30 minutes early just to watch him “warm up”.
When he would find himself in the stands while chasing a loose ball, it was only a matter of time before he would revisit those fans he had crushed earlier. Always asking if they were ok, and then shake their hands. Never saw once where he didn’t apologize.
For all his incredible talent, the man never took himself or life too seriously.
Obviously he still doesn’t.

As a comparison for Greg Oden, Artis Gilmore makes the most sense among those three men.
Dwight Howard is more similar to Moses Malone, while Nate Thurmond was inefficient on offense.
Regarding Thurmond, the stats would indicae he was overrated and Walt Bellamy was underrated.

The Bucks probably said they would match. But I want someone to test it so they must prove it.
I’m no expert on the clubhouse atmosphere, but while he might be no Roy I didn’t hear bad things about his leadership either. Only that he wants to get paid like Roy or Millsap now too after playing for the minimum until now.

There is a nice rumor on RealGM/Brew Hoops
Bucks allegedly have a deal in place with Ersan Ilyasova (to replace Villanueva) but are keeping it secret so as to appear flush with cash and scare off Sessions suitors. Reports from Spain and Turkey suggest he’s signed for three years and something between $6 and 7 million.

I think they would prefer Hinrich and maybe Miller (who still demands more than the MLE) because that fits the veteran demand from Nate and the Bayless timeline better. But I’ll be damned if we get neither and Sessions goes for little money to the Clippers, Pacers or Knicks.

I hear this a lot. Not just from my baby sister, but from people whose advice on books I generally listen to. And quite a wide variety of folks too..
And I usually don’t conform to anything.. even good ideas I try to rebel against. But every time I try to put my head into the place where I am going to read a Harry Potter book or watch a movie.. some sarcastic voice in my head won’t let me get over something to just give it a legit chance.
Oddly, this voice is entirely quiet when I watch cartoons/read comic books and even sing along with ABBA songs.

I read them not so much because I was into it,
but so that I could get a footing in contemporary culture—be able to engage in the conversation.
I haven’t found the same motivation to read Twilight. And, whenever I read something that is a contemporary hit, I follow it up with something classic and profound to cleanse my soul so to speak. For example, I read The Road last week; This weekend I started rereading The Republic.

I would say the first two Harry Potter Books are the same
just swap out the name of the bad guy. The third, and then fourth book, are where the actual style came into being—I think this is okay though, it takes time for writers to find there voice and develop their worlds. If you read Harry Potter in reverse order, the magic in the first two books wouldn’t make any sense given what is revealed later…

I'm tempted to reread the first 2 to see what you mean now
That’s a lot of work though!
But yeah, stuff that happens in books 3-4 was clearly done to set up book 7. This happened to a lesser extent in the first 2. (Minus some things like Harry’s playing card or whatever it was mentioning that Albus won a duel a long time ago.)
The Princess of Blazersedge
I didn't start reading them until the 5th book was available.
I went through the first 4 books in less than a wintry week, which helped me compare them. I don’t know if I would every go back and reread the first two though—unless I was reading them to a child.
But yeah, the magic in the first couple books seems pedantic compared to what is available later in the series.

Firefox vulnerability is in the wild
They can use malicious code to infect your machine just by browsing a web site. Be careful, consider NoScript, and cxpect an update shortly.
It's an add-on for firefox
It prevents a site from running any scripts without your permission. It’s a big adjustment for first time users, you’ll need to manually approve (white-list) sites that you trust (since almost every site uses some kind of scripting). After that, your normal sites work, and you’ll still have scripts blocked from other sites until you approve them (which you can do on a per-session basis if desired)

I like to keep it simple
I typically run Adblock Plus and NoScript, though I haven’t reinstalled NoScript on my fresh install. Still annoyed with the NoScript author.
As a rule, Firefox get slower as you add more extensions, so I try to keep extensions to just my favorites.
GreaseMonkey is a good extension, because then you can download all kinds of little scripts to do stuff (which I covered a while back with the BE ignore list post). There are some truly impressive ones, such as DownThemAll (Download manager), and VideoDownloadHelper (if you want to download stuff from youtube)
But right now, I’m keeping it pretty light with just Adblock plus, and probably NoScript during his vulnerability period.
I love a few simple add-ons, like the URL fixer and Undo Closed Tabs. Not a whole lot else, though I do have GreaseMonkey, DownThemAll, and Adblock.

Ditto.
I’ve been trying to avoid commenting when people talk about Kemp. He had a couple good years reliant on his athleticism, then when that was gone, he had nothing.
I expect people to immediately comment on how much better he was than that.
he was completely dependent on his athleticism… and he wasn’t the greatest player. It was just awesome to watch him when he was in his prime.

I can't say anyone would disagree that he wasn't a TOTALLY athelitically-reliant player
It’s just that, his athleticism and size was at such a level that he could do amazing things in games.
Which could be really, really fun to watch.
I was young when he was good, but I can imagine his lack of an all-round game would annoy me if he was on my team, but watching as just a fan, he was awesome.

But Kemp was eons above Miles both in athleticism and size, so he was way more awesome.
Miles hardly had one MEDIOCRE year in his short career, while Kemp was an Amare-like monster.
2005 Amare was a force of nature. Just ridiculous.

Kemp’s flirtation with a 2 block/2 steals season that one year is pretty neat though. Hardly anyone has done that.
And I know that because it is a trivia question in NBA2K9. Gerald Wallace did it!

Both age 26, 7th season, cumulative http://www.basketball-reference.com/fc/tiny.cgi?id=pzT2U
Amare scores a bit more (about 2 points per 36, Kemp usually only played 30), is better yet not stellar from the line, a bit more efficient. But Kemp is the better rebounder, passer, shot blocker.
If you want to trade our spare parts for Devin Harris, I have three quarters I would like to trade for your dollar

it is too easy to go MJ
And I never liked him when he was playing (jealousy and envy!), but his defense (esp. for such a dominate offensive player) was in a different class.. I really honestly couldn’t imagine someone better for a one-on-one game except maybe Wilt. And I think MJ’s versatility and showmanship would even trump Wilt.

MJ was other wordly
you can have all sorts of reasons to hate him, I suppose, but they’d be in line with the same reasons other GMs hate KP. Jealousy, anger over being denied, and so on.
The guy was otherworldly and Lebron and Kobe can’t touch him and I’m definitely an admirer of his.
In other news:
sources say Lebron is junked out on steroids. That’s why he looks so much like the incredible hulk. Sources also say that his woman wants me. These are very reliable. Got them off a fortune cookie. It didnt say exactly that, but you have to read between the lines.

T-Mac – Pre-injuries… back when he did this
That was so amazing. i remember watching that game at the Rose Garden just before a Celtic game (where ’Reef won the game off of a last second three pointer). I stopped watching the spurs vs. rockets game about halfway through that amazing 33seconds because tD was even making the free throws and it seemed certainly over… and tip off was starting so I went in to my seats and was dumbfounded to look over at some point in the game to see that the rockets somehow came back. I had set both games to record – they were the tnt double header and definitely consider those 33seconds. some of the best basketball footage I have ever seen.

It is a shame. When I first saw Martel play, I thought a lot about TMac.. mostly from the body and the stroke. Hopefully, M-Webb will trend on the good side of that comparison from here on out.
Not trying to make excuses for athletes paid multimillions, but I bet continual injury concerns quickly add layers of psychological hurdles to an already difficult rehabilitation process. Still, I hope we haven’t seen the end of him..

Diogu’s agent told the newspaper that he has no reason to believe his client is in the Kings’ plans.

Favorite Old School Non-Blazer:
Oscar Robertson. The triple double season average is probably my favorite stat line of all-time.
Favorite Non-Blazer Growing Up:
Tim Hardaway. Don’t laugh because people forget how good he was for a while. He is one of only 7 players to average 20+ points a game, along with 10+ assists. And, he did it twice. And, fell short by only a few assists of doing it two more times. Not to mention, who didn’t like watching his early years with Golden State. TMC, Tim Hardaway-Mitch Richmond-Chris Mullins. They could light up the highlight reel for sure.
Honorable Mention:
Muggsy Bogues. Ballin’ legit in the NBA at only 5’3". That’s crazy.
Favorite Non-Blazer Now:
Dwyane Wade. I don’t care how many free throws he got, I still haven’t seen any player put a team on his back through the playoffs and lead them to a championship quite like that.
The answer is ...

After the L.kers won (gag!), my mom sent me this message from one of her childhood friends. He goes on to talk about how much better the old teams were than the current team but that Kobe would probably still get 2 more championships (barf).. .but… i thought about you with regard to this piece..
I have been watching the Lakers since they came to LA for the 1960-61 season and here are some stone facts. Before Kobe, before Micheal, before LeBron, before Julius, there was probably the greatest small forward EVER to play the game of basketball. His name is Elgin Baylor! At 6’5" Elgin simply dominated the game with scoring averages in the 30’s, 16 to 18 rebounds per game and usually 5 or 6 assists. He was the FIRST to score more than 70 points in a game and his 61 points in a finals game still stands as the record today.

Chris Mullin
Besides a perfect jumpshot and a good back story, Mullin had a knack for blocking someone’s shot after they had blown by them off the dribble. I know it wasn’t great defense, but still the consistency in which he was able uncanny..
Plus RUN TMC was awesome!

Tom Meschery (a brutal power forward who fouled on every play and got called one-third of the time)
Elvin Hayes (beat Kareem in college)
Wilt Chamberlain (there was no answer for him – loved him as a Lxker though!)
Bill Russell (made the stupid Celtics successful)
Allan Iverson (we’re talking about practice)

re: “Bill Russell…..”
I remember Johnny. Havlicek making some pretty incredible shots in all the playoffs against the Lxkers in the late 60’s….this kinda’ made the Celtics successful too!
as did Tom Heinsohn, Sam Jones, KC Jones, etc.
Havlicek was a monster – particularly when the rest of them got old and retired.

is there anyway to not say Michael Jordon? The king of all things good, that’s all.
Pippen was my favorite, but he became a Blazer and that pulls him off this list.
I am surprised Jordan isn't dominating this thread.

"Everybody is crazy. It's just some people are more upfront about it." -fanfaraway
"love is only universal if you know what to do with it" -broyposse
lol back in my era
Yes, definitely. but Jordan came on the scene like a punk kid thinking that his dunks, his tongue, and scoring lots of points had anything to do with winning basketball games. Throughout the 80’s (until 1989), I figured he’d just be one more guy who couldn’t get over his own game well enough to elevate a team to the level of a champion.. so I considered Bird, Magic, Isiah, & Dr. J way better back then. Hell, I actually did believe Clyde was better Jordan because the Blazers were a tough team for showtime to take..
When the 90’s game.. I tried to reconcile all of this by looking for excuses. I rooted for any team that was not the Bulls and hoped Jordan would not come back to the NBA. I even hated Phil Jackson (and still am not over that hate) for helping Jordan take that step.
When I reconsider all of this . with the light of clarity and not just being a hater.. Jordan was clearly amazing. Scoring in the post as a guard, defending three positions without blinking while providing help, amazing passing, and being unstoppable when it mattered the most.. hard to argue with putting him on a best team ever. And if I could start a franchise with any player from any era, well obviously Jordan would be in the top 5 on that list.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C

"Everybody is crazy. It's just some people are more upfront about it." -fanfaraway
"love is only universal if you know what to do with it" -broyposse
completely okay!
I am still young enough to not be offended when I am mistaken for someone older than myself. I consider it a compliment to my nature. I remember the first time I was called “wise beyond my years” when I was like 14. Followed quickly by “an old soul”.. both traits I take some pride in..
Now, in 4-6 years, when I see the big 4 0 approaching like a train pointed at my face.. maybe this kind of statement would trigger a mid-life crisis but then I’ll just buy a small fast car and drive my wife crazy by looking at younger ladies, more so…
My first live basketball game was when I was 7 in 1985 at the GW Forum against the Nugz… good times.. it never occurred to me until now that LA played Denver in that wcf .. probably the last time that happened until this year..

We got sexism, Nazi’s, and religion discussions going on all over the place and there is a summer league game too.
are those 3 seperate subjects
or were they combined to form one super duper argument starter?

I love those
especially the way he introduces them… “here’s what I wrote on the subject back in 2002 on Sonics Central…”
I wonder how much time he spends looking back through his old comments
just to find something to quote himself on.
Yea but looking though 6K+ worth of comments just to see what you said
a couple months ago about DJ Mbenga seems like a lot of work
I never thought of that, it would bring trolling to an all-time high
Private messaging I don’t really get, it makes sense for uber-high volume sites like this or some of the baseball blogs, but the auto-refreshing comments means 2 people can have a side conversation without that much of a hindrance.

Good for getting banned
S4E got banned for e-mailing them. I am seriously not joking right now. I honestly would be afraid to e-mail any of them but Prez. I am 100% not joking.
No Joke
I e-mailed -ken and woke up the next evening (I work nights) with the head of S4E made out of Play-Doh next to me on the bed. They went so far as to put ketchup on his neck and totally ruined a set of sheets.
I received an e-mail from "-ken" after our contentious, yet harmless tiff recently, ...
which I promptly delted after reading it. If nothing else, I came to the conclusion that my best course of action was to fully avoid any type of confrontation with the powers that be at Blazersedge.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yeah, S4E did other things leading up to the e-mail, it was just the e-mail that broke the blogger's back.
I agree with you completely. Pretty much everyone knows I’m joking on here, I don’t know if it comes across that way in e-mails. Better to just avoid the confrontation all together.
I’d rather have the "Z" thingy
remember that I did not read all of the comments. Then when I log back on, my unread comments will still be unread.
i.e. if I have to log off mid stream it would be nice if you could pick up where you left off. Not possible if you close the window.
Can’t we all get a good "Z" thingy.

When we go to the beach, I play in the water and she sleeps on the beach. We don’t do that as often as we should and a lot of times we find a place in the shade. Her face is getting really freckly though.
Favorite player current and past
Favorite player of Alltime is Latrell Sprewell.
Favorite current player is Maurice Ager/JR Giddens
Spree and company
I saw Spree play in the tourney for Alabama and just liked his game and continued to watch him throughout his career, even celebrated his birthdays (my sister’s was on the same day, i am not that creepy).
And I loved Giddens when he played with the Demos at Kansas and Ager because I thought he would be the heir apparent in to Spree because he has a similar game (but not the attitude unforntunately).
I liked the part where he choked PJ… never did like that coach
by The Arkitect on Jul 15, 2009 3:30 PM PDT up reply actions
if you make a racist remark
you are going to get choked. I was always mad that GS traded Webber (Spree’s best friend at the time) because of Nelson, and then Nelson left after the following year. Spree and Webber would have been great. Instead, Spree got Joe Smith and and old Mark Price. I would choke people too.
was watching battle star galatica last night
and commented about how I like that when people were pricks, they got punched. People should really do that more often. Society might be politer. We might also be very black and… gghghkaaackkk… can’t… breath…

I blame Hedo
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
I blame our popularity
and the unique format that SBN uses
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
what about the format?
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
SBN vs. a more traditional message board
On the more traditional board you can post any random thought because people expect there to be 1091 topics and the most recently commented topic is at the top. At SBN we have limited space with which to view topics in the sidebar and they go in order of post date, not recent comment. So good topics (generally ones with lots of comments) don’t get bumped up in this system. So we end up with 5 sub standard fanposts, 4 repeat threads, 18 trade ideas and then the one well thought out post gets pushed past the top 10 or 25 most recent posts.
Basically, most other sites are quantity>quality whereas BE is quality> quantity, or at least that’s what we would like.

Is there a way for a skinny guy to gain 10 lbs without knowing where it went?
I weighed myself the other day and I had gained 10lbs, but I don’t look any heavier. I’m thinking the scale wasn’t calibrated correctly. 157 to 167 seems unlikely given no visible change.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
It just adds up
when I went from 150 to 160, couldn’t tell where it went
when I went from 160 to 170, same deal.

This summer is the first time i lived by myself in my life. I am enjoying it a lot. I cook and clean more than i ever use to do. One thing ive gotten into is tv shows all different types. I watch shows from The Secret Life Of an America Teenager to Real World Cancun to Cold Case, not the real Cold Case the one on CBS and TNT. Its so bad that i watch Cold Case up to 4 in the morning every week night, because it comes on TNT starting at 12 and they play 4 episodes back to back. It is my new favorite show it all i have on my dvr. Its sad sometimes but its cool and interesting, it would be sweet if i could be on that show.

Kinda weird, but it happens. One thing I like about Wipeout compared to MXC is the attempt to learn about the contestants, so you have a way to separate them and root for certain ones. Typically we’ve picked a favorite for the final segment, so it works for us.
Who won? It ran olng and cut off during the last guy's final course. he had just nailed the rotating wheel thing when it stopped taping

Although this junk drawer has nearly run it's course
I will have to go with Jordan for my favorite player ever. I started seriously following the NBA in high school (I graduated in 1985) and Jordan’s many amazing games and achievements are indelibly etched on my brain forever. My basketball fandom was forged in the Jordan era.
Runners-up for me are Sabonis, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson, Bird, Dwayne Wade, and Dennis Rodman (yeah, yeah, save it) for his ability to mess with the mind of his opponent. It’s an odd group, I admit.

my first was long.. here’s my second…
by idoltime on Sep 16, 2008 2:55 PM PDT
Don’t get me wrong… I like Nate
Nate has done certainly done a good job with a developing team. He will have a lot to teach the young guards, and it doesn’t heard that BRoy grew up in Seattle..
But let us just think logically here.. Nate has not done one thing that makes me feel that he is a lock for us beyond two years down the line. And if we are not seriously flirting with a Western Conference Final spot in 2010, he will probably be moving on..
I don’t think there is any reason to believe that a good development/training coach definitely makes a great playoff gametime playmaker type of coach. Will he? I don’t know. Mike Brown has done some great stuff with developing the Cavs and even got them to the finals. But how long will he have to prove that he hasn’t hit the ceiling on his ability to take this team? I think he has one year left personally!
I think that Adelman would likely join the list of strong coaches who have a lot more playoff coaching experience than Nate does if Nate were to be to sent along. Don’t get me wrong.. I would love it if Nate could prove that he is a great coach.. but NONE of us have seen the real evidence..

What about Beasley?
I know this a Rose thread but we’re talking about trading for the number 1 pick which could be used on either player.
Aldridge+other guy (probably martell/outlaw) +13th for Beasley, so Aldridge for Beasley.
Beasley is a 3 or a 4, so we could play small with him at the 4 and webster/outlaw at the 3 or big with Beasley at the 3 and Frye at the 4.
Lineup-
Blake/Sergio
Roy/Rudy
Webster/Outlaw
Beasley/Frye
Oden/Pryz
Frye has a game that is very similar to Aldridge and would make a decent starter. I personally think Beasley’s character issues are overblown so it comes down to the contrasting stlyes of Aldridge and Beasley. What does everyone think?
And then I followed it up with this comment, just so everyone knows i’m not insane
I like the inside out game that Aldrdige and Oden will likely have. Aldridge has built chemistry with the team and has no character questions, but I do like Beasley’s toughness and rebounding. I, actually, wouldn’t do this trade even though I mentioned it, I just wanted to see some other opinions on it. I’m a big Aldridge fan.

I honestly could not care less about Michael Jackson right now. He was a great musician, but that’s it.

Not much mentioned, but Magic!
Yes, he played for the wrong team but he was impossible to dislike because he played the game with such joy. Magic Johnson not only could, but at times in his NBA career did, play five positions! He redefined point guard. He made others on his team better. I don’t remember him disrespecting other players. He wasn’t the fastest. He wasn’t the quickest. He couldn’t jump the highest. Often he did not score the most. But he did everything well and, like other greats, saw the game as it was being played as if from Olympian heights—with astonishing vision. Magic Johnson had fun on the court playing the game he loved and reminded fans that basketball is, after all, a game. He infected teammates and fans with the shear pleasure of the game. I feel privileged to have seen him play a few times in person.
And that’s the truth.

But I haven’t finished the show of which I won’t name (that’s later this month). But, while we’re waiting, we did a marathon of the entire series of Arrested Development for the first time.
You mean for the unnamed show, or AD?
For the unnamed show, waiting for a way to watch it other than overpaying Amazon for On Demand.
For Arrested Development, we didn’t catch it from the beginning, so it never made sense. We have extra time to watch TV right now, so it was time for a marathon. Definitely worth the time, we need to do a second round already.
