Kobe v Jordan.

Kobe says this USA basketball team could beat the dream team because they are more athletic and past their prime. Wow????

Jordan responded by saying "this isnt' one of the smarter things for Kobe to have said. We had 11 HOF' ers. Most of us were in the prime of our careers. I was 29, Pippen 26, Barkley 29 and Ewing 29. They may have been more athletic but we were definetly smarter. If they have 11 HOF we can compare down the road but I guess we will never know.. Remember, they learned from us, not the other way around.".

The other thing Kobe ought to think about is that they haven't won the gold medal yet either and they aren't a slam dunk (sorry for the pun) to win it. They should and probably will, but let's not start the crazy comparisons before a meaningful game is even played.

Pippen and Barkley both say 92'ers win by double digits ... attack with bigs and play pressure defense. Lets not forget the Jordan factor either.

I loved Larry Bird's response: "Well, Kobe's right, they probably would win. Of course, we're all over 50 now" :lol:

Seriously, the Lynx likely deserve their own thread now. Back in the WNBA finals after taking 2 of 2 from the Spark.

They're the non-revenue sport of the state (that's my jab at how Gopher non-revenue sports are more successful than their revenue sports and the Lynx are more successful than the big 4).

Gophers drop game 1 of the WNBA finals to the Indiana Fever. Game 2 is still at the Target Center.

Awe poop... I need sleep... Lynx drop game 1... I'd edit the original - but what fun is that.

Now they changed the headline to "Pale In Comparison" :chainsaw: :chainsaw:

The thing that bugs me the most is that they say "The NBA was the most diverse of any professional sport" and in the very next line they talk about how 80% of the league has been black since 1991-92. That is NOT diversity. That just means it was/is dominated primarily by non-white athletes. You'd think a newspaper would have a dictionary or two sitting around. People are :censored: ing stupid.

"How did we get a roster that resembles the 1955 Lakers?" asked Tyrone Terrell, chairman of St. Paul's African American leadership council. "I think everything is a strategy. Nothing happens by happenstance."

That strategy, Terrell and others in the black community believe, is to sell tickets to the Wolves' fan base, which is overwhelmingly white.


Stupidity this amazing is quite a sight to behold. If this man is a leader in the black community, it's no wonder why poverty and violence are rampant.

You're right. Since poverty and violence have been solved in the black community, so called black leaders should spend their efforts on more important issues such as the optimum number of white players on NBA rosters. :roll:

Yes.

Not surprised by the move. The guy was clearly not endearing himself to the best player on that team and now is 1-4 with a roster that has 4 all-stars in the starting lineup.

To be fair though, there are only 77 games left for them AND they are 1.5 games out of the playoff picture! :roll:

No question that Phil Jackson is a great coach; given that, it WOULD be interesting to see him with something other than All-Star and Hall of Fame laden rosters.

I don't get this. The Spurs were playing their 4th game in 5 nights so they sent their 4 best players home early from the road trip. David Stern says that substantial sanctions will be forthcoming for the Spurs' actions. If it's their prerogative to concede one game to have healthier players, so be it.

Another example of pro sports leagues needing to make sure everyone realizes you don't work for a franchise, you work for the league. And, it's not "Sports", it's "Sports Entertainment". Do what maximizes your chances of winning, do what's best for your team in the long run...until the league tells you it's not in THEIR best interests. "Just make money baby".

The best part about this story is that the Spurs, without Duncan, Parker, Ginobli and Green only lost by 5 @ Miami and Ray Allen needed to hit a go-ahead 3 with 20 seconds left. It's not like the game was a blowout. Stern is just pissed because it was a nationally televised game.

Why is it a big deal now? He's done it many times over the past few seasons. Barreiro was bashing Pop for it yesterday. Stern can be a butt-head at times. In the comments section to the ESPN story, someone noted in a prior game Tim Duncan was listed as DNP - Old. If that's true, I love it.

NBA fines San Antonio $250K for not having Duncan, Parker, Ginobli and Green available for game vs Miami. From David Stern:

"The result here is dictated by the totality of the facts in this case. The Spurs decided to make four of their top players unavailable for an early-season game that was the team's only regular-season visit to Miami. The team also did this without informing the Heat, the media, or the league office in a timely way. Under these circumstances, I have concluded that the Spurs did a disservice to the league and our fans."


Well, maybe set up the schedule so that a marquee team like San Antonio isn't making their only visit to Miami playing their fourth game in five days. I get the whole deal about the fans not getting to see who they thought they would when they bought tickets to the San Antonio game, but a league basically telling a team who they can or can't rest leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Bahahaha. I don't follow the Wolves they pretty much have to have a season like the Conference Champ. run season for me to pay attention. All I have heard is what great strides they have made and they could finally compete in the West, blah, blah, blah. This will last about 6 minutes until they are right back to where they always are, a big sh*t hole.

I don't think this Love-Kahn-Taylor triangle is any major breaking news. Love said at the time of the contract that he was unhappy with the offer he got (wanted the 5 year max deal, Kahn and Taylor said that he hasn't proven he's worth it), he's also been unhappy with the direction of the team and the constant turnover. To me that gripe is an example of wanting to have his cake and eat it too. He hated that the team was sucky (understandable), Kahn and Taylor overhaul the roster and now he's mad that the roster has a bunch of different guys that are playing significantly better? Sorry we got rid of Beasley, Darko, and Randolph! :roll:

I don't think it is that new either but the timing entering mid-season when there might be some hope around this team makes it terrible. My hunch is Love is referring to 4 straight years of indecision, roster changes, no direction ect when he talks about roster overhauls. David Kahn is the biggest tool in professional sports and it baffles me how he can be the GM of a basketball team. I am sure Love sees the writing on the wall, great a 8-5 seed and first round elimination. And with the way Kahn drafts , ha.
