Amazing Vanessa Bryant quote:“I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships. If you’re sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year.”

How out of touch with reality is she ?

[BigDMcGee]

She's just a girl that knows what she wants.. winners.

[Essay21]

i don't see the problem.

[Poppy_Hillis]

Is that real?

Seems like it.There's talk of 3-on-3 basketball being an Olympic sport. I don't know who is doing the talking, but I don't care. Let's say it's like beach volleyball where you can send a max of four teams. How would the teams be split up for team USA? Would you have a team A, team B, etc. or would you do it like choosing up sides? For example, do you have a team of Lebron/Dwight/Durant or do you put each of those guys on a separate team? And can we just go ahead and have this happen right now?

For 2016, some hypothetical teams:Irving/Lebron/LoveRose/Gordon/Anthony DavisWestbrook/Durant/BynumRondo/Melo/HowardCP3/Jabari Parker/GriffinThat's for spreading the talent around and creating interesting teams.If I only get one team, I'm going with your three above.

[Essay21]

lebron / durant / howard = can't be beat.westbrook / melo / anthony davis = also a good team.

I don't get it. It looks like Pau is getting beat, and tries to get a bogus double dibble call because he knows he just got beat. But then I'm like... wait... Suited is a Lakers fan and so why would he post that if it was anti-Laker. Now I don't know what to think.

[DJ Vu]

I don't know why you're assuming it's bogus. But Essay is also a big Blake Griffin fan. And it's just a funny gif. We can laugh at our own too.

He didn't say that. He said that McHale was the toughest guy he had to guard, and I have no question that's true. He had more offensive post moves than any player ever, and Sailey would have actually, you know, guarded McHale and not Jordan.

That gif is just really funny. Pau is flailing like a little nancy.

well i suppose that is what he said but he said he played with both Isaiah and Jordan and that Isaiah was better which is insane - he wants to argue that because his pistons teams beat the hell out of Jordan physically that Jordan isn't all that (and they played him super dirty as well as Pippen) - Jordan bulked up Pippen and Grant matured and they swept the bad boys who in their infinite class and wisdom walked off the court before the final game was overThey were bullies the guys they bullied got tougher and eclipsed them and he still can't handle it - plus despite all the Jordan Rules stuff - Jordan still put up a lot of amazing battles with them with little help from his team (until later) and they constantly knocked him down and played as dirty as possible and salley's only response is that Jordan had big hands and it helped him play defense because the rules were different thenThe same rules that didn't stop Dennis Rodman from nearly decapitating scottie pippenKevin McHale sure he was hard to guard but he talking about whether Jordan was the greatest player ever - what sense does it make to say he wasn't hard for me to guard when he never guarded him - Joe Dumars did and if he got past dumars Rodman, Lambier or Mahorn would knock him to the groundMy team the cavaliers might have won a title had not Mahorn completely gone over the line and nearly ended Mark Prices career and ruined that season for his teamRick Mahorn-- Nearly decapitated Mark Price with a hard elbow to the head during a game on Feb. 28, 1989. Mahorn was fined $5,000 for the hit, but not suspended, while Price suffered a severe concussion -- one of many injuries that factored into the Cavs' surrender of the five-game conference lead they built that nightIsaiah was a jerk and totally deserved to be left off that Olympic team even though I have some sympathy for his missing the 80 olympics due to the boycottIsaiah led a movement to freeze Jordan out of his first all star game - he reaped what he sowedSalley acts like the first dream team Jordan was just another guy "Drexler" lol - every time Jordan faced Drexler he emasculated him and made him look foolish - the organization of that dream team was all about getting Jordan on board because by that time he was the greatest athlete in the worldMeanwhile Salley still tries to fly the flag for his thugs and their two titles - sure Isaiah scored 40 on a bad ankle - they were a great team - they were also an embarrassment to the sport and Isaiah was their ringleader

[CaneBrain]

I feel confident based on the historical precedent of Cleveland that the Price/Daugherty Cavs would not have won a title even without that injury.
