    You know what the game's been missing. All that tough inside play. .

    This is why Tim Duncan has rings.

    DUNCAN IS THE FUCKIN' MAN. I'M LIKE THE ONLY DUDE IN SOCAL, USING GLASS FROM 10 FEET, AND SHOUTING "TD!".

    Didn't know Willis Reed was such a badass.

    "Dude hits me, I hit'em back."

    Back then you showed your badass self on the court, not at the local Strip Club.

    Walt Bellamy
    Nate Thurmond
    Bob Lanier
    Willis Reed
    Wes Unseld

    All five of those guys would chew Ben Wallace up and spit him out.

    Just starting to learn that..........

    I would pay to see those dudes.

    Even the knicknames are . Talking about Earl "The Pearl" Monroe,
    Pistol Pete, Chocolate Thunder.

    "The Pearl" is corny--"Black Jesus" or just "Jesus" is much better.

    Now you got names like Mamba, T-Mac, Air Canada, and The Answer.

    "The Answer" is classic. "Mamba" is notable not just for its corniness, but for the fact that it is self-bestowed.

    I like the ring "The Pearl".

    The Answer, is more about the crossovers, dunks, cornrows, doorags, jerseys, and chains, and the Philly association, more than the knickname IMO.

    Agreed. Nobody calls Kobe, Mamba anyway. LA broadcasters say "Number 24" a lot.


    Also in the league: THE KING, THE TRUTH, BIG ARISTOTLE (What other self-indulgent nicknames?)

    Wes Unseld was a man and a half for sure. He was unfuckwitable when it came to snatching the rebound and firing that long outlet pass.

    Nate "Tiny" Archibald
    Marvin "Bad News" Barnes

    "Mamba" is notable not just for its corniness, but for the fact that it is self-bestowed.

    Sacha Vujacic calls himself "The Machine".

    I like the modern nicknames.

    The Glove
    Skip To My Lou
    White Chocolate..........
    The Microwave
    The Matrix
    Big Country..........

    and dont even go to the AND 1 muthafuckas......:breakface

    Willis Reed wasnt really talmbout str8 ass-kickin but really bustin a racist's ass in haff.
    "Im not w/ that MLK stuff, ill hit you back.."

    One of the best things about "And 1" are their nicknames.

    Sacha Vujacic calls himself "The Machine".

    In all fairness. He doesn't really call himself that. LA broadcasters used to clown around, calling him "the Sasha factor" and the "Machine".

    For a hot minute he was killin it off the bench.

    The old dudes definitely got better nicknames.

    The Dribbling Machine
    Main Event
    I'll be right back
    A.O.
    Black Widow
    Hot Sauce
    Half-Man Half-Amazing (Kenny Smith supposedly took Vince's nickname from him)


    You gotta give it to Duke Tango too for making And1 what it is today.

    "Hot Sauce, in slow motion!!!! IN SLOW MOTIOn.....OH BABY!!! OHHHHHH BABY!!!"

    "MAAAIInnnnnnn Event!"

    "SKip ip ip ....OH BABY!"

    Big games have proven, he ain't no Stojachovic yet.

    So the Lakers have lost that heat they had earlier in the month. What's you prediction, Telepath?

    Bynum & Gasol wont gel in one week - right?
  • yuichiyuichi Urban sprawl 11,332 Posts
    Yall are taking me back with that And1 shit.......that's my roots right there.

    Kinda shaky now. Kobe takes 60% of shots. They'll probably drop to 5th or 6th seed by the end of the season.

    Before a telepath was born, the boy was flying through the air doing triple axle double clutch dunks, feel me?

    It's pretty crazy that the Rockets went from 10th to first in their conference. Utah is lucky for their weak division, they'd be 7 or 8 otherwise. Shit is still tight like, well, a virgin.

    To get my Pessimist Fan on for a minute here...the Spurs are looking mad suspect right about now. A four-game losing streak when you're supposed to be shaping up for the playoffs? Blowing a 20-point lead at home? NAGLicious! Right now, my squad is looking like--at best--a second-round knockout even with Manu ballin' outta control.
