Allen Iverson, no doubt about it.

AI sucks.period.

Tyronn Lue owned him 3 years ago:lol:
 
Not my idol, but I used to like Shane Battier when he played for Duke. I haven't really followed up on him after he went NBA, but I hear he isn't doing all that well.

How much did Julius get payed versus Kobe? Nothing, including the matter of inflation. That, and what inventative move does Kobe have? Can't touch the skyhook.

Good answer. I hadn't thought about it that way.

The only thing is, I asked would Julius Irving be a legend if he were ACCUSED of rape?
 
I heard you Klos, it's just that if Julius actually was accused, he wouldn't have had the chance to become a legend, because he wouldn't have had the money to stay in basketball. But, that is way beside the point.

I admire that people like Kobe, it's just that, I don't. I never will. I was just describing my thoughts on him.
 
My cousin :) . He isn't pro or anything, but he's 5 foot 6 (approx) and just about everyone is taller than him.

See him here

You will have to sign up but you won't need to wait for an e-mail or such. Go to videos and 05/06/04 @ swansea Uni and he's in the videos at the beggining. He's the short guy in blue.
That's if you can be bothered.

Damn.

Well back then when I said greats, I meant people that were highly publicised(sp?). Nowadays, I realize that you can be a great and have almost nobody notice you.

EDIT:

You gotta be the greatest with a name like Loggins.

Ouch.:lol:
 
Vince Carter had his hype a couple of years back but since then, I've forgetton who the heck he is. Tracy McGrady isn't all that bad, but I think Shaquille 'O Neal pwns all. 👍

Miami Heat 2005 Champions. 👍

Just because they added Shaq they're going to win the NBA Finals? Ha! I'd be surprised if they won their division.
 
I'm sure Shaq being on Miami will influence the team alot, they will be pretty good contenders, that is if Shaq doesn't get injured.
 
My favorite player of all time is Rod Strickland. He and Sabonis played on 95-96 Blazers, it was simply amazing to watch them play together. Many weren't too impressed with Stric and Sabas, but those two were masters of ball movement and passing. My second favorite player of all time is Sabonis, Third is Pippen. My favorite active player is Sebastian Telfair.
 
The Ballers I Like are;

Tracy McGrady
Allen Iverson
Kobe Bryant
Michael Jordan

I should think that'll do it.
