Puhonix Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 In 6 months, when the 2 of you break up and you move out, let us know so we can tell you we told you so. 355288[/snapback] ouch... that's not the time to start with the "I told you so." Take your buddy out, but him a beer, let him cry some out, and then hit him with it the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Racist comments abound in this thread. Why not just lynch all these "criminals" and 'thugs". Go ahead and say it. They are thugs and criminals because they are black. That's what you all really mean to say. Some of you make me laugh so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fact that they actually get arrested or father multiple children with multiple women and then don't handle their responsibilities despite making millions of dollars. All of the status, none of the responsibility. The issue is in YOUR head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear anyone wishing the NFL would get cancelled and then start talking about the lifestyles of players. The NFL has PLENTY of these same personalities in their league, but we don't hear about those people in the same context the NBA players are referred to in. If ya don't like the NBA fine, but trashing on players getting arrested is pretty weak if you ask me. O.J Simpson - murderer Ray Lweis- also involved in a murder Onterio Smith - poster boy for High Times Ross Verba - Two instances of rape in his home Jamal Lewis- drug trafficer Kerry Collins- public enemy number 1 for M.A.D.D Travis Henry - child rapist Mark Chamura- likes his babysitter a little too much I could go on and on and on.

flomoe Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Someone told me that the NBA stood for "National Basketball Association", but last time i saw an NBA game, basketball was nowhere to be found...all i saw was a pointless game of dunks, attempted dunks, and 3 point bricks...and dont even get me started on the rules of the game, because you cant determine they from watching a game, because the rules are different for every player... 355205[/snapback] This statement is exactly what the NBA has become. The players march to the beat of their own drum, for the most part and the coaches are afraid to tell the players what to do. How many coaches have been axed over the last 10 years because his players didn't like playing for him because he told them what to do? The NBA is made up of criminals with enough talent to get paid. On another note, it's almost sickening to watch an NBA game because of the amount of whistles that are blown. The flow of the game can't last more the 30 seconds without one of the refs blowing the whistle on something, though not blowing it on the "star" players because they don't like being told that they did something wrong. The game has gotten into the pathetic stage and that's a shame for a game that used to be fun to watch. Sorry for the F-F-S type rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct to assume this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for generalizing but for the sake of ranting, the NBA is a game run by players, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 this is one of those philosophical dilemmas, like if a tree fell in the woods.... if the NBA was locked out, would i care? 355261[/snapback] Perfect. Exactly the way I feel. NBA is the biggest fraud in sports. Especially the part about being the "Best atheletes in the world" horsesh--.. Bunch of oversized geeks dunking a friggen ball. Total fraud. I'd rather watch soccer or for that matter, baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
