He should be starting the all-star game. Maybe if Dwight the whiner doesn’t play in the all-star game Tim will be the new starter. Popovich will probably be coaching it so there’s a great chance for that, and his former teammate Vinny del Negro will be coaching if Pop doesn’t. No matter who’s coaching Tim deserves the start, even if Dwight does play.

Worst would be the best.

You’re right, that’s probably why Stern vetoed the Chris Paul trade, cause he was trying to stack the deck for the Lakers…good point.

Your comment is bs. A simple google search shows that during the seasons Wilt played, there were 27 guys 6’11″ or taller. This lust doesn’t include men such as Russell, Petit, J.Lucas,W. Reed, Lovelette who were all about 6’9″/6’10″

Unseld was 6’7″ but built like a mack truck.

It’s tiresome to hear how Wilt and Russell did there damage due to everyone else being 6’6″ and under. Those guys in their prime would dominate stiffs that play center today.

Are you high man?
Have you seem Dwight’s post game? I guess that’s a product of Kobe shooting too much also. I never seen a “dominate” center get stripped or blocked so much in my life, and he supposed to break shaqs records scoring 17ppg and less then 20ppg for his career. Shaq was averaging 30ppg when he was was Dwight’s age. Truth to be told Dwight’s can’t even compare to Shaq. Bynum is better when healthy Demarcus cousins is better, brook Lopez is better, Lamarcus Aldridge is better, deandre Jordan is better, joakim Noah is better, Dwight’s probably not even a top 5 center, he a stat bum with no post game.

Now the league is full of really big players.

As for me, I’m having PLENTY of fun. This is like a dream season.

All the SMACK FAKER fans talk EVERY YEAR, when they know they :

1. Got favorable calls from the refs to win

2. Got help from stern and the league to get superstar players to stack the deck, in their favor …often times for FREE (Gasol and others)

3. The NY Yankees of BBall…they got the biggest checkbook, so they purchased 17 Chips. If you get the Buss checkbook ledger…..EVERYBODY has been on the payroll at some point !

So….I plan to carry this bag of salt around, everytime they get a new wound…I’m rubbing it in !!!

Kick ‘em while they are down, heck I’m carrying a sledgehammer to drop on ‘em …..ahahahahaha

Small market teams on the rise….thanks to the new CBA

If so, the eintire front office and team can get front row seats at the Clipper games next to Billy Crystal

How is he supposed to produce on offense? Either way I’m glad to see this happen to the lakers. This has to be the #1 EPIC FAIL…
I know my magic aren’t doing so well but they are supposed to be in rebuilding mode.

D12 is managing his PR image.

He’s trying to say the right things / politically correctness to avoid any additional distractions that would add to his bad PR from last year.

The guy made it clear, he NEVER wanted to play with FAKE MJ…especially after dude told D12, he would be the 3rd OPTION !!!

So, let me get this strait, I’m at the top of my career, franchise player in Orlando, All Star, I’m young -strong and ready to become the most dominant center in the league while breaking some of Shaqs records…etc, etc. etc….

BUT

I got some WEASEL lookin dude telling me, I’m gonna be the 3rd OPTION……REALLY !!!!

I’d tank the season too !!! Get me OUTTA HERE !!!

He did EVERYTHING in his power to not end up in la. He’s started to state his frustration publicly, getting only 5 shots.

FAKE MJ/ Harlem Globe trotter consistently is taking more shots than Gasol, Howard and Nash COMBINED !!!

I found it ironic, as soon as kobe went into FAKE MJ Mode….D12′s shoulder started hurting.

Trade the man already !

This newest injury seemed to be caused by the weight of “responsibilities.”

I bet this is a blessing in disguise for the Lakers as it simplifies things for D’Antoni and Pau will play like a man possessed. Then again, Kobe may take this as his cue to play like Nick Young on bathsalts. (Yes that is part of the Kobe System)
