I believe it, I bet Chuck doesn't say anything about Oaks claims either.....

Reminds me Deion Sanders bashing LTs toughness and humbleness.....seriously dude?

Re: NBA Off Topic

Thought we were past the "(Insert player here)teams sucks, who cares about him" but apparently not. Damn Matrix, I understand what you have to deal with when it comes to Nash LOL.


Is that not true? Especially on here?

Just like in the game thread, you and some other dude were said "Oh, this was Deron's best game, he'll never have a game like this"(either you didn't know or didn't care to know), even though this isn't the first time he's had a game like this, at all this year. You for the most part have been defending Deron, but when I seen that comment I was hoping that wasn't the bitter side of you coming out.

The OSers who come on here with that "my PG is the bestest PG in the world" talk (mostly Bulls fans about DRose) have some sort of inferiority complex or something. The guy won MVP for goodness sakes.

DWill never gets mentioned frankly because his team sucks. If he made the playoffs...he'd get more mention. But to do it in the regular season on a losing team isn't gonna get much talk.

I simply questioned DWill's motivation. He got himself "up" for Jeremy Freaking Lin but I don't hear him having career nights against the better teams in the league...unless I missed it of course.

Dude GTFOH with that nonsense. Go look in the PG discussion threads and see how many of the Bulls fans on here that have posted in them have Derrick Rose as the best PG on their list.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Why Oak so mad? Hahahha.

Can't disagree with him, but why does anyone care if KG is a top 10 tough guy or not?

Him calling Chuck a fraud and coward though

WOW lol. If Chuck doesn't respond to that on TNT I will lose some respect for him. He's up there clowning everyone and LeBron's hairline, so when someone calls you out on a national show, you had better respond to that in some manner.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Chuck don't want none of Oak.

[Drewski]

Alright, was asking about Phil because clearly Jerry Buss didn't want Phil anywhere near control of LA , so he pushed Jeanie out of the picture and went with Jim l. Partnered with them eliminating anything PJ, clearly he pissed Jerry off enough to play keep away. Just wondering what things were like in Chi as he was on his way out in comparison. Appreciate it.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Chuck's just doing what he's paid to do. I don't see the big deal.

But yet everyone and their mama pumped up Kevin Love all last year despite the fact his team sucked.

Trust me, I'm one of the FIRST people on here to call somebody out for lack of motivation. I agree in that he should be motivated regardless(which from what I've seen so far he has)but I also don't ignore the fact that these players hear the same **** we hear and that pride/ego is a very sensative thing among people, especially competitve people.

This is like me and you playing a game of 21 and I'm up 20-19 and then you comeback and score the last 2 points to win the game and then afterwards, people are saying how you whooped my *** despite the fact I was 1 pt away from winning the game and that you're the best player in the neighborhood and I have to hear that for 2 whole weeks from everybody I know even though they all know that wasn't the case. Now, YOU may not have said all that yourself but that doesn't matter because the word on the street is you whooped my *** so of course that's going to give me a little more extra motivation to go out there and try to embarrass you.

I mean NBA Players do the samething everytime they play at the Garden, coming out with the "Oh man, it's the Garden. You gotta bring your A+ game there" comments but yet they should be doing that regardless of where it's at, am I correct on that?

And FWIW(which to you probably isn't going to me much)he put up 34 against Philly, 29 against Chicago and 29 and 34 in 2 games against Indiana.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Yes OS, we are talking about...Practice.

According to a report from NiuBBall.com, recently added Knicks guard J.R. Smith was fined over $1 million for missing practices with his Chinese Basketball team Zhejiang Chouzhou.
A report published by NetEase states that Smith had $1.06 million deducted from his salary over the course of the season for missing practices. Most of the missed practices came during preseason.
“This was the arrangement when he came to the team,” said Zhao Bing, the general manager for Zhejiang Chouzhou. “Every practice we let him know. If he expressed to us that he wasn’t going to come to practice, we’d tell him that in accordance with our contract, we’re deducting money from your salary. And he’d always get back to us with, ‘Whatever. If you’re going to take it, then just take it.’”
So not only was Smith accused of faking injuries and abusing the amenities offered by his overseas team, he was also pulling an Allen Iverson? Zhejiang Chouzhou should have known what they were getting into when they signed Smith to that contract during the lockout. I guess some things never change.
Smith was recently signed by the Knicks for a prorated portion of the $2.5 million veteran’s mid-level exception to solidify their back court. Hopefully Smith has learned a thing or two about saving money.

If it makes you feel better Pack, I have Deron as my #2 point guard behind CP3.

Love you buddy. :o

Yeah, I've seen them, it's usually preceeded with those same Bulls fans ranking Paul ahead of Rose on their PG lists. Like I said, GTFOH with that nonsense. Bulls fans on here myself included get a little ahead of ourselves with some things we say, but trying to say Bulls fans here are on some "my PG is the bestest in the world" **** when that clearly isn't the case is some bull****. I know Knicks fans are feeling themselves cause they finally get to show off that they know how to count all the way up to .500 and all, but baby steps. Pump the brakes a little. Don't finally get your water pistol after everybody else been shooting theirs for years and try to go at them with it when they got Super Soakers now.

[The 24th Letter]

You just mad he been clowning LeBron's hairline 24th lol..

Even I clown LBJs hairline...lol

Stuff like that just annoys me.....imagine TMac on ESPN in 10 years trashing a player for not getting out of the first round...

Re: NBA Off Topic

Don't really think Chuck does anything wrong really. You can't look at him not having a ring the same as you'd look at most other situations either. Pretty much all those guys of the 90's get a pass really. They just ran into Jordan, they were in a bad era. Barkley would without doubt have a ring if Jordan never existed. Ewing, Malone and Stockton, Kemp, etc. If a guy like LeBron doesn't win a ring in his career (I think he will eventually) there's really little such excuse as there hasn't been a team or player as dominate as what those guys ran into. Especially if he doesn't get one with Miami. If LeBron doesn't get a ring with the Heat however long he stays there, no matter what happens his legacy is going to take a hit unlike the others.

[The 24th Letter]

Oh, I don't care about Chuck not getting a ring....ish happens..... I think it's whack to say that stops him from sharing his opinion, he did play with greats like you said.

At the same time, many of these former players take advantage of sports fans short memory's.....all we like to remember about Chuck is he was a beast...but he has no room to talk on certain ****. TMac was just an example.....imagine Amare 15 years from now giving a player the business because of his lack of defense.....or JR Smith questioning a young players character...
