    Is that Miller? Whoever it is that is one HELL of a rolled ankle. That person is out multiple weeks... unless of course his name is Andre Miller then he would come back in 30s later.

    Yeah I've seen Durant do it too. Its like the NBA is finally just coming out and admitting stars get to do whatever the fuck they want and its ok.

    That's why it's soooo important to have stars. The nba favors them and you will never stand a chance with decent players.

    Bro...... bro...... come on. The NBA basically admitted over ten years ago that stars get to do whatever the fuck they want.

    Shaquille.

    O'Neal.

    The NBA creates a rule to neutralize a player like Barkley (the five-second backdown), then creates a rule to neutralize teams defending against Shaq (the no-hack-without-the-ball rule). There's no rhyme or reason.

    Watching Shaq play in LA was probably the darkest time in the NBA for me. He got away with so much bullshit. He could just lower his shoulder and knock you the fuck out of his way. He could also take four steps regularly. Two steps, bunny hop (which is a travel), and THEN jump up and dunk it.

    Shaq was crazy quick for his size, and a good passer. He was similar to LeBron right now, just on another physical realm from every other player in the league.

    Yes, and the league let him get away with murder. With someone that big and physical, you can't allow him to just push people around. You take away the rules from a player like that, and they immediately become unguardable.

    lmao. "I've been telling my wife for years, size doesn't matter." :lol:

    The middle of that interview is pure GOLD. "How do you go 2-11?! My wife... MY wife can get more than two buckets, and I swear to you, I SWEAR that my wife would do at least ONE pump fake!" Oh man, that had me going.
