[QUOTE=1987_Lakers;14749506]Don't know if it's true, but I heard the dude who got dunked on by VC in the Olympics had NBA offers but refused because he was too ashamed about the dunk.[/QUOTE]
He actually got drafted by the Knicks in 1999. I remember watching the draft and being so upset. I believe they drafted him with the 13th or 14th pick. It was horrible.

Yea because otherwise he would have totally locked him down:oldlol:

Knicks and their retarded history of drafting Euro trash or trading for Euro trash. At least Porzingis looks promising all these years later.

maybe being the best defender of his generation? I believe it was the same injury that kept him out a month 3 different times in the regular season. He certainly wasn't as mobile as he usually is

Yea, we had some pretty bad ones. That one had to be the worst of all.

That would be crazy considering how much he would have made in the league.
Definitely Pip on Ewing
That transition in-your-face jam then the lick my balls stepover followed by telling Spike Lee to shut up and sit the f*ck down was the most toxic disrespect to a mainstream team ever happened

What does being the best defender of his generation have to do with defending one of the most nimble guards of his generation on the perimeter.
That's like saying Ben Wallace could've guarded AI out at the 3, because he was the best defender of his generation.

not really. Ben Wallace could stay in the paint. The game has changed. You have to be able to guard in space. They made it tough on him and Klay last night

Lost in space would be a fitting nickname then for Rudy.

I was talking about Curry w/ some kids. Dudes said they thought it was outlandish that I said Curry is not a great ball handler and that Damon Stoudamire was way quicker and better at handling the ball. It's like... watch how often his back gets turned. His talent is... saucing big men like so... and catching off picks or throwing up wild shots off the dribble. It's not like the dribble usually gets him good space, it's just part of his shot motion. It's not like he's stepping back, he's just launching it in the air. He's more like mobile artillery than the probing quick guard you guys make him out to be. Even in his prime.
Once you get a 'good defender', if Curry isn't just wetting everything, and the defender has the IQ to realize Curry has weakness in his dribble game and has to step into a certain shot, dudes do better. But NBA is in general bad at D and Curry gets mad screens.

He's still one of the greatest perimeter scorers, but dudes are tweaking if they think that you run a game like Ivo just give Curry the ball at the top and be like DO IT. That's why IMO he had trouble in some of the finals, cuz he is a B level dribbler.

[QUOTE=Patrick Chewing;14749518]Shaq was clearly in the wrong there. He should have been suspended for several games for that disrespect.[/QUOTE]
Shaq has shown himself to be a insecure, petty, malicious mean-spirited person.
He has a carefully cultivated TV image as a charitable loving goofball but he has a bad history of doing stuff like in the video as well as constantly mocking Dwight Howard, racist remarks about Yao Ming and a bunch of other stuff that genuinely kind and decent people just don't do.
Screw this pathetic low-life culture that puts creeps like this on a pedestal.
Disrespect the wrong dude and you will end up fertilizer.
