Around the NBA - October 2017

It's so funny how I came to be the Official Laker Fan of this forum. Do you know how that started?

 

You got offered to work for the lakers during the holidays or something, quit bragging !

 

Yeah how did that start?

 

One year we didn't make the playoffs, Showtime called me and asked me to work with them. Shit, there money is green too, but i had to say no because I was already booked for a huge show. I think mentioned it on here and Denny is actually the one that started killing me for it. My family is all down there, so as a kid I'd rooted for them if they weren't playing us or my Sixers......but i was never a fan. I think that and me standing up for Kobe as being one of the best to ever play is where it all started.
Guess I'm not helping my rep on here by defending the Ball kid either huh? I just have too much respect for the game to let team allegiance blind common sense.

 

I so fucking hate the celebrity industry.

 

their, not there

 

Honestly as much as Lavar talks the guy gets a lot of shit he predicts right. Lol

It’s hilarious how accurate he becomes. Smh lol

 

Suspect isn't better than awful? What this place wouldn't give for our back court to consistently play suspect defense, instead of their trademark awful.

 

The Bucks are having "Return to the Mecca" night

 

See, I know everything about you HCP

 

I think it's entirely possible that their skillsets are what's hurting their chemistry.

Even so, each one of those three aren't as effective individually playing with the other two than if they were the only star on their team.

 

The blazers defense was better than the puppy defense last year

 

He did, but HCP is gonna HCP and won't regret anything, nor apologize when he's wrong.

I miss Doug. The dude was great and wasn't the one who escalated things. But whatever. I can enjoy the forum in spite of all the dead, beaten horses around here.

 

It's that smug cockiness. Beverly knocked him down and he didn't say shit, so what? I've seen cocky people get shut up by stuff like that.

 

It's pure luck. To act like this dude is some genius is silly. Remember how UCLA was going to the Final Four?

I bet Lakers miss the playoffs, and Lonzo loses twice in the same week at some point..

 

What's wrong with that?

Not saying you are, but I think it's funny that we can celebrate people like Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, RASHEED WALLACE, and Dave Chappelle (yes he's Muslim) and then denigrate their religion.

It was Ali who wouldn't go to war, and Abdul-Jabbar, who has lived his life as a pacifist, that are our most celebrated Muslims. I think it's hypocritical that a country that is supposed to be accepting of freedom of religion constantly denigrates theirs.

 

But if we were 0-4, you wouldn't have the same tune...

 

What smug cockiness?

You are manufacturing this. Again, I've never seen it and until you prove it, it's just you saying it. And again, don't post any video of him rapping.

So you haven't proved your point. You've only proved that you don't like him for a reason that you should be attributing to his father, not him. Show me one "cocky" interview.

I guess you can't stand Nurk then either. If anyone is cocky it's him. CJ's pretty cocky. He has a whole victims unit that you LOVE but he's not being smug and cocky? Evan Turner is MUCH cockier than most NBA players. Crickets...

You're reaching, trying to find something that's not there.

 

Are we just assuming why @Dougnsalem is not here or are we 100% sure? Who's talked to Doug about it? Are we making things up as we go along or what?
