Him going to Boston was one of the best things possible for me. As much as I hate Garnett AND Sheed (still don’t understand why Portland fans like him to this day) I still have my fingers crossed that one will knock out the other. C’mon KG, keep yelling at Sheed! Thats the way to motivate him! hahaha

how couldn’t I? all I watched was the games and he excited the hell out of me when he played, so of course he was one of my favorites. When he started getting into that indo stuff, I didn’t care either because I was in High School, and high school kids like to get high.

By the time I was old enough to realize what a douche he is, he was gone and all I had was the memories. I hate him now and would never want him on our team again, but I remember him as an awesome player, and I always will regardless of how much he bashed portland or smoked weed in a hummer.

but the train aint commin’.

The league thinks it can control what players say and think. That’s the only way to explain its policy of fining players who don’t talk to the media and then fining players who do talk to the media about things the NBA doesn’t like.

That’s BS, trying to have it both ways. A man should be able to say what he believes or say nothing at all.

The league’s policy on fining anyone and everyone that says anything they find objectionable is absolutely ridiculous and in most circumstances unneccessary.

It is one thing to not want sensative information out in the public, but when the officials are calling a game that is so totally obviously riddled with mistakes and just plain laziness the league has no right to silence the teams who had to suffer through the slog of playing a game in that type of confusion.

People have opinions, simply because they’re a part of the Association by contract doesn’t mean that they check their brain at the door and lose all right to have a mind of their own. I’d love to see more honsety from the players, coaches, team offices and commentators. That won’t happen when everyone’s so scared of being fined that they practically joke about it any time something controversial comes up.

And everyone has freedom of speech — except if you have a different take than David Stern. Then your * get fined.

In spite of the yellow hummer incident (and perhaps because of the Tim Donaghy incident) I still love watching ‘Sheed. He may be a lot of things, but he isn’t boring as a person or as a basketball player.
