I encourage anyone who's ever watched Space Jam to watch this:

HAAA!!!!! that was awesome

I hope the Warriors and Thunder play in the playoffs.

JP Tokoto picked UNC over Wisconsin about 2 years ago. No doubt in my mind that he ruined his shot at the NBA with that choice. One coach develops his players, the other coach rolls out basketballs. Abysmal day for him today, singlehandedly losing the game for UNC against Belmont. 4/16 from the charity stripe in a 3 point game.

 

[Bobby]

Belmont knew after about two trips to the line to just foul him all day. Blew my mind that Roy kept him in instead of going with Luke Davis, at least Davis can hit a foul shot.

Edit: I see Grinnell got Carlos Taylor another 100+ game against another bible college.

I feel bad for the guy

Derrick Rose suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee and will undergo surgery, according to sources.

Rose injured his knee on Friday.

Rose missed the entire 12-13 NBA season as he recovered from a torn ACL in his left knee.

Rose averaged 15.9 points, 4.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 10 games this season.

Marc Stein of ESPN reports that the "vibe" around the Bulls is that they're bracing for Rose to miss the remainder of the season.

Wow, that's some shit luck.

 

[Filipower]

Yeah, that's fucked up, he could be really huge but it seems injuries are going to destroy him.

 

[Hisashi]

He could end up like Greg Oden :/

 

[Back Door Skip]

He's a modern day Grant Hill.

Basketball's Darren Anderton.

Kennedy Meeks' outlet passes.

Kobe signs a two-year extension with the Lakers oh yeah!! I do hope lakers fuck up there season this year and have a bad win-loss record so we can have a decent draft pick .



Ohh also I feel sad for D.Rose his out for the remainder of the season :/ bad luck .

 

[ShiftyPowers]

LOL, Kobe takes a ridiculous amount of money. At this point in their careers, Duncan and KG took 50% to help their teams.

 

[yoyo913]

All-time scoring record > Championship

 

[Filipower]

I read somewhere Kobe's the only guy in the NBA who gets his paycheck all at once. Which is another indication he might be the smartest player in the league.

 

[yoyo913]

Why? It's not like the NBA doesn't pay their guys.

 

[Filipower]

But getting $80M all at once is much better than getting $20M each year for four years. Invest, invest, invest!

 

[MaestroZidane]

Which proves again, he's one of the most selfish players in the game. Lakers should be looking and preparing for the future, not on Kobe hopes that he will be back to his old self.

 

[yoyo913]

I've read that before and I believe it's that he gets his yearly paycheck all at once, instead of monthly/bi-weekly.
