Yuichi.....even better.....being an L.A. guy I'd bet you would agree that Michael Olawokandi may be the biggest bust in NBA history(Forgive me LaRue Martin)...
Go compare the Candy Man's first 5 years vs. Kwame's....
If I was a laker fan I'd be ecstatic about Andrew Bynum, but I'd also admit that Kwame will never even come close to living up to his #1 pick status.
Heck, you couldn't get Milwaukee to trade Andrew friggin' Bogut for 3 Kwame's.
Everyone's believing that Bynum is gonna be on some mythical legend type shit in 5 years. I'll believe it when I see it.

Artest arrested at home on domestic violence charges[/b] ESPN.com news services
Last month Ron Artest was cited for neglecting dogs on his property, and his troubles have now escalated. The Sacramento Kings star was arrested on Monday morning in his home on domestic violence charges, according to a multiple media reports.
Placer County Sheriff's officials announced the charges and scheduled a 7 p.m. ET news conference to discuss the incident.
"We are aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering information," Kings spokesman Troy Hanson told the Sacramento Bee.
According to the reports, police responded to a a 911 call at 9:23 a.m. PT, and deputies found the woman who made the call at Artest's Loomis, Calif., home. After interviewing the woman and the player separately, police arrested Artest.
He was charged at the Placer County Jail with domestic violence and using force or violence to prevent his victim from reporting a crime, the Bee reported, citing officials involved in the case.
In early February, it was revealed that Artest paid $1,942 in boarding and impound fees because some of his dogs had spent a total of 77 nights at the Placer County pound since July. Animal control officers had gone to Artest's five-acre estate seven times in that period in response to callers' complaints about dogs being loose or not being fed.
Artest completed anger management for a domestic violence charge in 2004, and the mother of his children was charged with the same crime for hitting Artest in 2002.
some how this doesnt suprise me dood. did you see the need4sheed post on joe d's sons favorite basketball player? that girl really cracks me up.

Maybe, maybe not. Bynum is certainly off to a fast start. Kwame is still 25, that's relatively young. About the only Laker I truly hated was Chucky Atkins, and Lamar (when he was playing zero D, and was fitting in).
espn.com has this draft scenario generator up right now, i clicked on the button to see if the warriors would come up w/ the number 1 draft pick. no such luck. the mock draft has them picking 9th and selecting the tall chinese kid. hmmmm
Oh if Nellie is still there, you're gettin a foreigner. Write it down. 7'9" Chinese dood sounds just about right.

Absolutely....Nellie believes in the addage.."You can't teach height"
And he is infatuated with the mysterious foreign player.
For every Dirk that he hit on, there were 15 Chris Antsey's.
What he fails to recognize is you can't teach 7'9" guys to be athletic.
oh schnaps! my dubs beat the pistons!!! when the hell did baron come back? I was sure dude was out for the year. They sweep detroit for the year! small consolation prize for another disappointing year.
who knows they may now make a playoff push and go 20-0 and get knocked out of the first round. with the clip show w/o a point guard, the kings w/o artest, the nuggets playing w/o any cohesion and well the twolves being the twolves, we can do it!
i remember like it was yesterday, 93-94 warriors c-webb going behind the back on a fast break dunk on sir charles only to have charles go for 50+ the next game. haha
Man, what is up with Kobe and his bitchmade flail-my-arms-and-whack-another-fool-in-the-face bullschitt? That shit is so obvious. He clocked Marco Jaric last night. They gave him a game for the Manu shot, it should be two this time.

yeah that was pretty bitchmade. i remember when kobe had jordan mannerisms down to a science, his post game interviews were in his likeness, wearing suits etc. now look at him, wearing jerseys tattoos etc.
as a player that foll is great but i still think he's bitchmade. hahaha
if the lakers dont beat the mavs, my warriors surely will!
if the lakers dont beat the mavs, my warriors surely will!
11-0 on night 2 of back-to-backs. Y'all have had the Mavs number for sure for two seasons now. Plus the Nellie factor. I'm looking forward to these two games. Weird scheduling this week. The Mavs play ONE game from 3/4 to 3/10.
6pm is a good time. This works out for me, because by this time, I would have balled up some Japanese kids in Torrance, CA.
What can you say, I'd be the first to admit, Kobe's pride is sometimes greater than his game, and that's saying a lot. That slap to Manu was out of frustration. Although I doubt he intended to hit his face.
deezamn. Mav's are bout it. Can't wait for the playoffs. I'm already over the reg season.
Although I still watch every nuggets game. Camby was awesome last night. 8 pts, 11 boards, 6 assists, 6 blocks, and 4 steals. My dude Nene was nice too. 15 pts, 14 boards, 3 assists, 1 stl, 1 blk. We do well when the big guys are putting in work. Scoring distribution was also very good. I know it was just the Hornets, but hey, a game's a game at this point. Back to .500!
Denver Nuggets' coach George Karl is ready to bench Carmelo Anthony due to his poor attitude and inconsistent play, according to a Denver Post report.
"I think that's the next move," Karl told the newspaper, revealing that Anthony will be removed from games and benched if the All-Star forward fails to play smart, team basketball.
"I've told 'Melo in the last two weeks, 'I don't think you're listening. I don't think you're listening as well as you need to listen.' For me, the next step is to change the democracy back to a dictatorship."
What's more, Anthony has not meshed well on the court with Allen Iverson, whom the Nuggets acquired in December while 'Melo was serving a 15-game suspension for his role in an on-court brawl with the New York Knicks.
"The inconsistencies, we have excuses for. But I'm tired of seeing it," Karl said.
The Post's story claims Anthony is obsessed with scoring to the point of distraction and prone to moping when his jumpers clank.
And at age 22, he has not yet figured out how to be a leader in the Nuggets' locker room.
"I think what you're baffled by is you see a guy who could be a top-five player in basketball," said Karl, who claimed to have discovered a statistic he hopes to use as a motivational tool. Anthony recorded more double-double games of points and rebounds in a single season at Syracuse than he has produced in nearly four seasons as a pro.[/b]
What are Iverson's thoughts?
"If you're scoring at a high rate and your team's not winning, people come at you and want to know what more you can do. It's a lose-lose situation," Iverson said.
True, Anthony is a talented offensive player with the ability to score 30 points per night against almost any team.
Perhaps that's part of the problem.
"Personally, I think 'Melo should forget about scoring," Karl said.
As for emotional development, Karl suggested that Anthony should take a long, hard look at Rockets' superstar Tracy McGrady.
"Tracy McGrady has grown up. Tracy McGrady gets it," Karl said.
"And, right now, what you're saying is basically, 'When is 'Melo going to get it?' Is it going to be next month?' As a coach, there's no one more frustrated, there's no one more angry than me, because I feel the pain."
That double-doubles stat is pretty ridiculous, and not in a good way.

'Zo. The only dude in the league that challenges dunks.
I know you hate Sports Illustrated for whatever reason, but there was a very good article in there about a month ago about the dying art of blocking shots. They spent some time talking about the holy grail of blocks, the blocked dunk, and naturally, they asked 'Zo about it. He basically said that a big part of blocking dunks is the willingness to try even though it means you're going to get dunked on pretty nasty sometimes and that nowadays, dudes are way too image-conscious to make the effort. Very on point.

I do both. Everyone decides to just shut up when I drop truth (it's true!), so that's why it's probably not fresh in your memory.
I could talk about how he's highly self-conscious, a perfectionist, and one of the most misunderstood athletes in sports history. And how those attributes contribute to an overall negative image about him (not to mention, he's on the Lakers). But lately, he's silenced the haters too. And long time supporters like Mark Jackson, Scoop Jackson, and Steven A. Smith have had nothing but good things to say about dude. He has good intentions, works hard, and has flaws just like the rest of us. Only his are blown way out of proportion by the general public. He's asked Phil Jackson for leadership advice, and he's made conscious efforts to do just that. And it shows.

Los Angeles will have a great chance against San Antonio.
I dislike San Antonio as much as the next hater, but that is a bold prediction.
Don't know about any magical shit, but I'll bet Bynum has a better career than Kwame.

Whether she push a buck and a six, bumpin' some mad chips
Out on her own, or live out of moms and pop's home
