10.28.09 | i shouldnt say that i love my gonzaga bulldogs |

10.28.09 | never said the athletes werent better. Theres no money involved, they play harder, and the style of game is soo much better. Too much standing around in the NBA |
bungy
10.28.09 | perhaps...I would so much rather watch my favorite college teams than nba teams, but if I'm neutral the NBA is just more entertaining to me |
EVedder27
10.28.09 | maybe fromtheinside, but a lot of times these players are playing real hard because they are trying to make money somewhere down the line. Many of the NBA players have already made their money and they don't care as much. I guess its just what you're used to watching though. |
EVedder27
10.28.09 | yeah true. I guess my arguments would conflict with my preference of the NFL over college football which may have some of the same things happening. |

10.28.09 | Bball is definitely my favorite sport, and the quality of hoops in the NBA is sooooo much better than college it's not even funny. I see guys in college missing wide open jump shots and layups, missing defensive assignments, generally playing stupid and not to mention the college refs are even worse than the NBA ones.
Bulls all the way to the second round this year, WHAT!?!? |

10.28.09 | Yes, the Celtics have a better defense. But, they're also a bunch of douche bags. For now they have the better team, but they won't when The Big 3's knees all shatter within the next few months.
Just kidding, only Garnett's knee will shatter. But god, I hate the Celtics. |

10.28.09 | "But, they're also a bunch of douche bags."
So?
They win. |
Inveigh
10.28.09 | And all it took was a favor from an old friend (Kevin McHale) to get them there. They definitely didn't win before McHale traded KG for Al Jefferson (who wasn't that good at the time) and a pile of hot, steaming garbage.
But yes, they win. However, I never saw Michael Jordan get down on all fours and bark like a dog at a 6'0" tall rookie after he blocked his shot (I'm looking at you KG, and that pitiful display you put on for Jarryd Bayless last year).
I've never seen someone win with less class than KG. You'd think that a guy who couldn't get out of the 1st round for the first 8 years of his career would have a little more humility.. I mean, it only took 2 or 3 other All-Stars to get him a title... |

A favor from Kevin McHale? What better offers were out there? You could make the argument that right now, Jefferson is as good a player than KG.
"But yes, they win. However, I never saw Michael Jordan get down on all fours and bark like a dog at a 6'0" tall rookie after he blocked his shot (I'm looking at you KG, and that pitiful display you put on for Jarryd Bayless last year)."
No, instead Jordan decided to be a shitty teammate and a selfish person. Which I haven't seen out of KG. We get on Brett Favre for retiring, changing his mind, and being an attention whore, look at Jordan.

KG is less classy than Jordan (not that classy has any bearing on anything)?
What championship team hasn't had two or three all-stars on it? |
Inveigh
10.28.09 | Well, I said KG needed 2 or 3 all-stars next to him. That makes 3 or 4 (I'm counting Rondo, because he's all-star caliber).
The Pistons won it without really any all-stars. The Lakers only had 2 all-stars last year. The Rockets won 2 in the 90s with one all-star. All those Spurs and Lakers championships in the 2000s were won with 2 all-stars.
As for McHale, why did he even have to trade KG? It wasn't like he demanded a trade. He did it to cut salary, supposedly. But he also knew he was on his way out (worst GM ever) and wanted to throw a bone to his old buddy Danny Ainge. Just like Jerry West did to the Lakers in trading Gasol for Kwame Brown.
I don't think Jordan was a shitty teammate in the end. In the 80s, yes, he punched people in the face. But he also made people think Pippen was a top 50 all-time player. I mean, they won 72 games with Luc Longley and a washed-up Ron Harper in their starting line-up. KG is nowhere near Jordan, but he acts like much more of a douche. And didn't he make one of his teammates cry on the bench last year? |
