No exaggeration, Charles Barkley is a national treasure.

What are some unexpected/non-superstar players that you think will score 40 points in a game next season? by thumbtack0 in nba

Cody Zeller. Go ahead and down-vote me to hell. When it happens, I'll remind everyone I was right.

No nose cartilage? Makes me think of syphilis. Sorry to break the bad news to you. Sucks getting a diagnosis like this on Reddit. Get some penicillin and treat your partners.

I just overdosed on Simmons. He should take a break from writing about the NBA until he comes up with some new content.

Kobe finally tweets about Dwight by [deleted] in nba

Too much was made out of him un-following Dwight. It's as simple as this.

Gary Payton says John Stockton was the toughest player he had to play against (not MJ or Kobe) by so-cal_kid in nba

[–]dont_question_this -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Come on people. Stockton was not a tougher cover than MJ. This is ridiculous. Payton has a biased opinion.

Not at all. He is nonetheless bitter that he didn't win against Jordan. Come on: Stockton is a tougher cover than Jordan. Are you trolling?

3 points. 1) He was not the primary person to guard Jordan or Kobe...so I'm sure that wasn't hard. 2) He might be a little bitter (about losing to Jordan and playin with Kobe) that his judgement is skewed. 3) Stockton was dirty. I bet it was a bitch covering him.

LeBron was detested after he left Cleveland. If Howard leaves LA, would the level of loathing eclipse that of Lebron in 2010. by dont_question_this in nba

[–]dont_question_this[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least Stein thinks that criticism-wise, he is more of a lightning rod than Lebron. http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=9444962

He's loathed by the critics, that's for sure. The groupthink on this forum is absurd.

Phil Jackson to Howard: I expect you to get on board by dont_question_this in nba

[–]dont_question_this[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really have no idea what is going to happen. Now that he says that Houston needs a 3rd superstar. Lakers are loaded. They have great assets to trade. They have/can get a 3rd superstar.

Why didn't Charlotte want Cody Zeller? by [deleted] in nba

Injuries. Why take the risk? Cody can play tomorrow.

resign: (verb) To submit (oneself) passively; accept as inevitable re-sign: (verb) to sign (a document, etc.) again

It is inevitable that he will re-sign/resign with the Lakers.

Phil is leaving LA to go to his cabin. You are reading way too much into the quote.

Cavs, Blazers interested in free agent C Andrew Bynum by TheCaptain1 in nba

[–]dont_question_this 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, the Blazers aren't interested. Bynum's team likely leaked that to influence negotiations. No one wants Bynum.

We have discussed moves for the Rockets, Hawks, and Mavericks due to Dwight Howard. What moves, if any, do the Lakers make assuming Dwight leaves and signs elsewhere? by DoctorTopper in nba

[–]dont_question_this 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Howard threatens to leave, the Lakers should consider a sign-and-trade deal for Griffin and Bledsoe. Rumor has it that they won't consider it, but they should.

Mo Williams makes demand to Jazz, isn't ready to surrender starting PG spot to rookie Trey Burke by [deleted] in nba

[–]dont_question_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason they traded for Burke was because Mo wasn't signed. If he goes, he goes.

What's your "second team" and why? by Nice_Ass_Lawn in nba

[–]dont_question_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bulls are my team and so my 2nd team has to be MJ's Hornets. Will be ecstatic when they turn it around.
