no ramifications. he was jawing at fans who were jawing at him. btw the final of the game was 64-54 and pryor had 24 points, 24 rebounds, 8 blocked shots, 7 assists. he's a pretty good athlete. lol, is he playing in the christian school league or something? damn.

i would kill any 10 people for the right to be carl pavano

it annoys me that every dumb kid with a basketball will spend hours perfecting his "put the ball in his shirt and spin it around" dribble move, or whatever other And 1 nonsense he sees on espn2, but soccer hasn't taken off when you can do even more ridiculous moves in the context of the actual game.

He was a bad man. Supposedly he lost to Ronnie Fields though in a high school dunk contest. Look at this one. :shock: i'm even more ashamed of my whiteness now. that boy has hops he's canadian so it doesn't count. gerald green does all those dunks, gets higher, and he got obliterated last night. But he isn't white. That makes a big difference, just ask Brent Barry. Also, Green won a three point shoot out in high school, why the heck hasn't his game developed anymore than it has? You've got me. You know how these kids can be, he probably just fell in love with his athleticism. Really, someone his size, with his athletic ability, should not be a 10th man on the Timberwolves. I remember when he signed with OSU and I was terrified of having to go against him twice a year. Now it seems like he gets worse every year.

Yeah, there' a lot of talk in here about basketball from people that don't know basketball. I know it to the extent that I played it in college and have helped coach it. I don't really understand the per issue. I guess it includes defense, or at least hope it would as it is a pretty big part of the game. I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about people commenting on players when it's clear that they don't even watch basketball. I still think that Kemp was as much a freak as Howard. Howard just has the fortune of not having to dunk in an era with other superstars who want to try the dunk contest. I would love to see LeBron and Kobe and Vince go at each other one time. Although Vince's knee might prevent that from happening at this point. Kemp had the benefit of moving like a guard while still being 6'10 or whatever he was. No doubt about it that he was a complete freak. But Dwight does it at 270 pounds. If Dwight had done his off the back of the backboard windmill in the contest that jordan and dominique were jumping from freethrow lines and doing two hand reverses, Dwight would have won by 20 points. Those dunks wouldn't get you out of the first round any more. For the record, LeBron says he's not a good contest dunker and neither is Kobe, really. Not in the vein of what we saw last night. There's only so much innovation you can do with a ball in your hand, and I think we both know that Kobe is going to be putting on a Superman cape and dancing at midcourt. Gerald Green can get higher than Kobe by a good 6 inches. Lebron dominated a HS dunk contest on ESPN, but he was dunking against white guys and just throwing the ball off the backboard. The dunk contest has been innovated now. I am aware of this, but the superstars make the thing. Tomorrow Gerald Green goes back to being a nobody at the end of the bench for the Wolves. I still think Vince had a better performance than anyone last night and didn't have to resort to using props. He just wrong way 360ed with a huge windmill and looked like he just easily did it. I agree that superstars can ratchet up the excitement - I can't imagine what it was like preparing to watch Dominique and Jordan go head to head - but in the end, i think most people would rather watch nobodies do incredible things than superstars throw down game dunks. That being said, the VC contest was the best single performance in anything ever. The two handed FT line dunk doesn't get enough respect. But seriously, you think Gerald Green couldn't do that? He did Vince's between the legs dunk (actually it's Isaiah Rider's) with no shoes on. I see high school players hook their elbows in the rim. Things have changed. All this being said, no superstar like kobe or lebron is going to enter a dunk contest and risk being embarassed by Jamario Moon. I sitll think Vince had more. It was rumored he could pull a 720. The Jordan vs Dominque thing was pretty bad, but too be honest the Spud Webb one stuck with me the longest. The superstars didn't mind losing then. I remember when Isaiah Rider did that in the college dunk contest. The East Bay Funk Dunk, then proclaimed he would be winning the NBA dunk contest the next year. No one can do a 720. Not a legit one, anyway. Even the guy that "does one" starts out with his back to the basket.

this has all the makings of a C paper in a freshman level marketing class

god, baseball players are idiots. how in the world could you believe that you had been traded to japan

Howard's much stronger and can jump a heck of a lot higher. Moreover, unlike Kemp, Howard's never had weight issues. i don't know if there are many people in the world could jump higher than kemp in his prime. Dwight jumps higher, but no one was fiercer than Kemp. Remember the lister blister? Or the story about how Kemp made a chain link net spark after a playground dunk? Watch this video, the warriors player (I think it's chris gatling) high fives him after getting dunked on. also, the "bad MFing DJ" song halfway through is tiiiiiiiiiiight.

Oh yeah, when will people start to include Jerryd Bayless in the "Beasley, Rose, Gordon, Mayo" foursome? Three straight 30-point games? What a freshman class this is.

any statement that includes the words "ARod is ok" is immediately deemed worthless

I missed that. I'm happy for OU. They would have been an above average team if Griffin and Longar had been healthy all year. I'm hoping OU can still slip in to the tourney. What's the status on Longar? Longar is back. He's not 100%, but he's back on the court, which is important since OU is about three deep this year. I would have posted about the Godbold bomb, but I had a game to cover and I was already running late since I had to stay for the end of the game. For the record, OU inbounds down two with 20 seconds left, and 10 seconds into the possession Big Blake ends up with the ball at the top of the key. No problem, call a timeout and get something set up. So what do we get? Godbold 30 feet out with a hand in his face. I'm glad that Sampson is in Indiana, but I'm not so sure Capel is cut out for this. Though to be fair to him, most of our players are terrible.

LOL this thread took a turn for the hilarious Deron Williams is a great, fantastic player, but he is no chris paul.

13. Grady Sizemore 14. Prince Fielder 15. Jake Peavy 16. Troy Tulowitzki 17. Victor Martinez 18. Carl Crawford 19. Alfonso Soriano

im glad that austin johnson has hit 6 threes and kept us in the game today, but he looks like an aids victim

Maybe the Lakers should offer up some shoes and a bunch of used basketballs. Or a little bit more than they gave up for Pau Gasol. I'd rather have Derek Fisher. Really? I would think Artest to you guys would make you very, very tough to beat out. Especially since Farmar is more than capable of running the team. he's talking about fisher over bibby

copy paste go get a beer

wait a minute is that rosie odonnels head on saddam husseins body omg thats the funniest thing ever im lmao how did you do that wait is that real does she have a hairy chest omg im grossed out im literally puking my intestines up oh my god i think thats my liver or something oh my god what in the world curse you rosie odonnel and curse your gross hairy body
