In my case, I went with option number 4 after my statement, signaling to everyone that I was joking. The fact that you spased at me for that, even if I wasn't joking, makes me wonder why you are a member of this forum. You rarely post, and when you decide to post, you insult a member of the board for no reason at all. Didn't your parent teach you to think before you act my friend?You are retarded, a fact that has been proven by your inability to take a joke and lack of grammar. Oh well, why should I even care about you? Why should I even care about what you have to say?It's only an internet board, and throwing out random facts and insults only makes your stay here a little harder.Much love, KMart
The good things the NBA does gets overshadowed by things like the brawl in Detroit and some of the contracts players get and people like Spree saying things like 21 million isn't enough to feed his family.The NBA helps children read and helps them in there games, they do alot of good things but it all gets overshadowed by the bad.
Pretty niceI'm sure nobody will care unfortunately, a few players in the MLB used pink bats to support breast cancer awareness and although it is clearly a very good thing and the people who used them deserve credit. The media blew it wayyyy out of porportion, they rarely talk about guys like Dikembe Mutumbo who donates ridiculous amounts of money to help his native country of Zaire and also an award like the one the NBA is recieving.
