    I'm tired of the NBA and their bullshit. I've felt this way for a few years now. You cannot win in the NBA without a superstar. The NFL is better. The MLB is better. Hell, I'm not really a hockey fan, but I would take the NHL over this garbage at this point.

    Let's move the NBA and their rigged sport out of town and make a push for an NHL team. I have not followed hockey, but if we got a team I would start. Let's start making a push for the NFL. There was an article on ESPN about how the league was thinking about adding two teams if they put a team in LA. I would LOVE to have us be that other team. I don't care what the play is. Just do what needs to be done to get the team.

    The NBA is no longer the sport that I grew up watching and loving. It's no better than wrestling at this point. Time to move on.

    How could I be self-destructing when I've felt this way about the NBA for years? Slow self-destruction?

    Check out? I'm saying get rid of the NBA altogether in Portland. Either that or just come out and publicly admit that a small market like Portland has no shot at ever winning.

    OKC is about half as big as Portland and San Antone is somewhere in between. Peace out.

    OKC is the hometown of David Stern.

    San Antonio is in one of the largest states in the country, with huge population centers in Dallas and Houston. Portland is easily the biggest city in Oregon. Try again.

    Call me crazy, but I'm 99.99999% certain that David Stern is a born and bred New Yorker ... not a lot of Jews in OKC I'm guessing.

    Gonna have to agree on that. No way he is some redneck from OKC. Even the way he talks has manhattan written all over it.

    I had heard his hometown was OKC. Maybe he was born there and grew up in NYC?

    edit - guess not.... don't know where I heard that.

    Who are you Mr. 1434 posts? I can barely hear you down there with that post count. Maybe I will be able to hear you better when you become a bigger part of this community :dunno:

    No you are right. I've heard it too. But he is nothing like a OKC hick. He is all New York baby!

    When someone who doesn't even have 2k posts is telling me to gtfo, I tend to think their opinion doesn't mean very much.

    Oklahoma City is Stern's adopted home town. He sleeps over there as much as he can.
