Mailman telling it like it is

[Magic731]

Talking about the NBA as it is today:

"The biggest difference is everybody wants to give each other a hug and a kiss"

"I didn't like you when I played you, now they'll allow somebody to hit your teammate, I don't understand that"

"You can't touch anybody anymore there's no way you can guard a player like that. The offensive player has the advantage"

I don't have any problems if the NBA adapts the FIBA Rules. Melo, Kobe, Lebron, Durant, and even Wade put up good numbers in FIBA Rules.

They were both drafted to the Jazz.


LBJ was a free agent. The Lakers also didn't draft Shaq, Kobe, and Kareem and Wilt.

Dave Ramer - Rice University - elbow to face, never plays again

Isiah Thomas – elbow, 40 stitches

Derek Smith - elbow to face - almost ended career

David Robinson - elbow, knocked him unconscious

Brian Grant - elbow - 10k fine, but foul was called on Grant

Greg Anthony - elbow, in same playoff series as Grant

Joe Kleine – elbow, required plastic surgery

Othella Harrington - threw punch

Christian Laettner - elbow to head

Steve Nash - elbow to face, even though Nash was behind him and no one between him and any other player to pass it to

Shawn Bradley - Knee to stomach after elbow thrown at his head earlier in the game

Dirk Nowitzki - Pulled on already injured shoulder

Derrick Coleman - Malone throws an elbow at Derrick Coleman who throws a punch and is thrown out, fined and suspended

There was a time teams hired 'enforcers'. Players that tough and wouldn't have any problems doing the dirty work. Mainly in the East to stop MJ, these players were defensive 'specialists' that came in different sizes, more often than not they were front court players.

Malone wasn't the only one, almost every team had at least 2 of these players, willing and ready to take a hard foul/cheap shot.

It was a different era back then.

[brain drain]

Someone should've just hired Mike Tyson for one game against the Jazz. All it would've taken was that one "good hard foul" straight to the chin followed by some ear-munching while Karl's lying on the floor, knocked unconscious.

It would've been disgusting, but it would've saved us from decades of Malone's fake tough-guy posturing and lots of stupid internet fanboys fapping to the comments of that retarded cheap-shot artist.

[Andrei89]

None of those three guys said that, it was Artest, and even he was obviously joking when he said it.
It's not like LeBron. LeBron left a team, that he promised not to leave until he won a championship to team up with a top 3 player and top 5 PF in the game.
Kobe, on the other hand, welcomed a 38 YO PG and a brokeback mountain. In what way is that even similar...

How do you know it's an 'obvious BS story'? Apparently it's coming from a former Bulls coach and seems to be in line with Jordan's overall M.O. He was insanely competitive and even Van Gundy accused him of conning guys that way- falsely buddying up to them in order to get any advantage on the court. Charles himself has been on record many times about Jordan's competitive nature:


"I think Clyde has always been jealous of Michael (Jordan), to be honest with you," Barkley said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "I think he's always wanted to be compared to Michael.

"Hey, we all want to be compared to Michael, but we're not. Clyde was a great player, but there was always that jealousy of Michael. That was one of the incidents and things about the Dream Team, Clyde was trying to play like it was Game 7 against Michael, and that's probably not a good idea. When Michael is driving his kids to school, he thinks it's Game 7."
