The NBA is apparently planning on banning the wearing of tights worn by many players begining next year. This comes after the NBA instituted a business casual dress code and started reguating the length of the shorts on uniforms. SERIOUSLY, ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO PISS OFF EVERYONE IN THE LEAGUE?!?
The recently-acquired Steve Francis says that he has no problems coming off of the bench this year, but if he is still doing it next year he wants out of New York. The Knicks guard says that the team should trade him next year, rather that have him come off the pine. He’s been with the team for about a month.
STEVE FRANCIS = DISENFRANCHISED?
Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest got the loudest chorus of boos he has ever heard in his first game back in Indiana Friday night. The former Pacer, who was traded to the Kings in mid-January, went 6-22 for 18 points while the man he was traded for, Peja Stojakovic, put up 20 points with 12 boards… WE SHOULD BE CHEERING THIS MAN FOR LOGGING MORE MINUTES ON THE COURT THAN IN THE CROWD…
Orlando Magic head coach Brian Hill was fined $25,000 by the NBA after he criticized the officiating in a 85-90 loss to the Jazz. He claimed that they would have won had they gotten the last minute foul calls that they deserved, and that he was disappointed that the game wasn’t decided by the players. NO, THE GAME WAS DECIDED WHEN YOUR TEAM REMEMBERED THAT THE ONLY “MAGIC” THIS FRANCHISE CAN PERFORM IS MAKING A PLAYER’S CAREER DISAPPEAR….
Kobe Bryant became the youngest player in NBA history to score 16,000 points on Friday night at 27 years and 192 days. He beat Wilt Chamberlain by 4 days. Just two months earlier became the youngest player in NBA history to score 15,000 points. IRONICALLY, KOBE IS ON PACE TO BE THE SLOWEST PERSON IN NBA HISTORY TO REACH ANY SORT OF MILESTONE FOR ASSISTS…
Was it because the Cavs lost? Nope. Did he insult the crowd? Nope. Was he human? Bullseye. LeBron James put up 25-7-9 in a loss to the Wizards Friday night, but it was his performance in the second half that brought on the jeers. He went 0-8 from the field and 4-12 from the line in the second half and was booed by the home crowd in the final minutes. REAL SMART, HECKLE THE ONLY REASON YOU ACTUALLY GO TO SEE THE CAVS PLAY. YOU DIDN’T GO TO SEE ERIC SNOW DISH IT TO DREW GOODEN…
King James commented after the game: “If these fans want to boo me, it’s on them.” NO ‘BRON, IT’S STILL ON YOU. IT ALWAYS WILL BE. TAKE A TIP FROM KOBE: GET RID OF THOSE STUPID ASSISTS; TEAMMATES ARE FOR PUSSIES…
Portland Trail Blazer’s guard Sebastian Telfair was suspended two games by the NBA after a loaded firearm was found during an inspection of the team’s plane earlier in the month. No charges were filed, but this violates the collective bargaining agreement which prohibits a player from possessing a firearm while on team or league business. Telfair said that the gun was his girlfriend’s and he grabbed her bag by accident. OBVIOUSLY SEBASTIAN ISN’T A TRUE TRAIL BLAZER YET…WHERE WERE THE DRUGS AT???
The 20-year-old came straight out of high school and was the 13th overall pick in the 2004 draft, and is averaging 8 points and 4 assists in 25 minutes per game. IF HE SHOOTS A GUN ANYTHING LIKE HE SHOOTS A BASKETBALL, THEN WE’LL ALL BE FINE.
