[QUOTE=Ripper22]That brand of basketball is (or at least was at the time of the last Olympics) waning in quality though, because the emphasis was on stars like Kobe Bryant and other flashy one-man-teams, and so people argued that college basketball and multi-national, non-US basketball was better because it was much stronger on teamwork. And the US basketball team did get owned in the Olympics.[/QUOTE]

We didn't even send our best players to the Olympics. Duncan and LeBron were the only elite players that went, and LeBron was buried on the bench most of the time. And if you think the NBA is waning, you haven't followed it this year. And there is PLENTY of college basketball like the NBA (where teams stand around and watch someone take on the whole team).

[QUOTE=magicbus]Yea, not fake. Polished is a good way of putting it, and something about that just turns me off from the whole thing.[/QUOTE]

I'll take a polished Tom Brady over someone like Chris Rix any day of the weak.

Name change!!! Hell yeah!

:upset:

My request is never going to go through... but it's all good.

Sweet man! How did you get it done, "Cain" :lol:

I should change my name.. really.

Sorry... maybe it's too subtle of a change. Change your name completely. :)

kombucha: I reposted in "Ask the Mods," and DBJ just happened to be looking around the Site forum and changed it for me. It took like two seconds...

AH, what do you want to change it to?

I'm not sure.

I've been thinking about it for months.

What would you change it to, 307?

:eek: Never mind...

I wanna change mine as well. I think "The Kombucha" would be cool. You guys have any suggestions?

Shaq
Garnett
Kidd
Allen
Rip Hamilton
Kirk Hinrich
Mike Bibby
Brad Miller
Ben Wallace
Rasheed Wallace
Michael Redd

All of these guys would excel in international play, but they weren't there

[QUOTE=3074326]I'm not sure.

Any ideas?


(for the record, by AH I meant AntiHero, but its all good :p )

Wait, where do I post if I want a name change?

[QUOTE=magicbus]AH, what do you want to change it to?[/QUOTE]

I just wanted my "h" lowercased and the numbers chopped off, but apparently there's someone with the username "antihero," but he/she hasn't posted in six months, and that's frustrating, because I plan on having longetivity posting here.

Ray: go to the Site forum, in Ask the Mods.

Haha

Don't you forget it.

Ask the Mods is where I would do it.

Yea I realized it looked like that too. Oh well.


NP: Jeff Beck stuff.

Acronyms..:rolleyes: That kind of freaked me out when you answered my question before I had asked it. :eek:

EDIT: 307, do you have msn?

Haha

Have you heard any songs off "Who Else!" by Jeff?

My dad got it out for me, and I ripped it on to my computer, but I haven't listened yet.

Right now, I'm really diggin Blow By Blow and Wired. These albums rule. I'll have to check out Who Else! next time I'm at my dad's house.

On the first song, Jennifer Batten plays the most badass two-handed riff ever. And "Brush with the Blues" is one of my favorite JB songs ever. "Declan" is mighty fine as well, pairing Donal Lunny's Celtic compositions with Jeff's guitar. That album is one I like a lot better than his two most recent: those albums are much more hardcore-techno influenced.

I heard his newer ones weren't that great, but Who Else! stood out as a great album. This makes me want to listen to it even more.
