Basketball - May 2007

When people think of great dunkers, it's usually in the context of The Slam Dunk contest.

I want to know who do you think brought it best during the course of a game and why did you choose that person.

I think the bulls can make history this year by actually coming back from a 3-0 lead. The reason i think this is because the next game is at home and because I think it wont be to hard beating detroit at the palace...........What do u guys think will happen??

As part of the Jordan legend, he supposedly "willed teams to victory" and took marginal players on his shoulders, and through his 4th quarter heroics, he would help these average players win championships. This is not legend, it is myth. Jordan did have a lot of 4th quarter heroics. That is indisputable. However, his teammates were very good and that is why the Bulls won titles. Wilt Chamberlain dominated far more than Jordan did, but Wilt proved that one man could not win a title. Only when he got teammates around him did he win titles. The same is true of Jordan, only more so, since Jordan wasn't as dominating as Chamberlain, he needed even MORE! help in order to win a title...read on as I will prove he was all Myth!

1994 and 1995 are key years during the Jordan years. These two years are central in proving that Jordan was not as valuable to his team as the his peers in the elite class of basketball players were to their teams. If he is not as valuable, how can he be the greatest

I am a Suns fan; I live in Arizona. I applauded when Raja clotheslined Kobe. I would love to have done that myself. And this "hip check" from Robert Horry, who may be considered as one of the best clutch players ever, is making many Suns fan crazy. It's not like Robert put his hands on Nash. And it is only one incident, I don't see how that make Robert so "dirty." I don't even see why Spurs are a "dirty" team for just playing tough defense. Sure, that foul on Nash was dirty, but it's only one foul. If we were to use one foul to judge a team's "dirtiness," then Phoenix is a dirty team and Raja is a dirty player. So calm down.

I think the Suns might pull out. Amare and Boris are only out 1 game. And it's 2-2 right now, 3 more games to go. Don't be like Dirk and call it quits. Don't be a choker. Calm down, fans. Believe.

P.S. Duncan was standing before the foul. There was no altercation. I don't think suspending Duncan just to make it "fair" is a valid reason. Suck it up

I am a Knick fan (don't laugh) so you know I want him with the Knicks. But you know us Knicks fans are known to be crazy, ignorant and oblivious. I beleive the players we have to trade have more talent than what the lakers can offer or even the bulls, unless the bulls give up Gordon.

I don't like him. The rest of the Jazz are okay.

I think he's too arrogant because of his size. He should be thankful he's that big, because if he wasn't he probably wouldn't be a basketball player.

Which player had loads of talent but never made it big due to bad attitude, drugs, injuries, jail time etc.... Derrick Coleman came out of syracuse to me with the most talent I have seen in a big man. he was Dirk Nirwotizki before there was a Dirk Nirwotizki. He just had bad work ethic and really did not care for the game and he still put up decent numbers. Poor Harold Miner has to be the most disapointing. The poor guy never stood a chance once he became labeled " BABY JORDAN"

Do you agree with the Suspensions of Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw after the hard foul by Robert Horry in Game 4 of the Suns-Spurs series?

2007-05-16 07:38:05 · 10 answers · asked by reelniceaggie 2

Forget about wether or not the suspensions of Stoudamire and Diaw are "fair" or "right". What i want to know is are the suspensions really in the best interest of the NBA? Isn't it better for the NBA if the "exciting" Phoenix Suns advance in the playoffs, and play more games than the "boring" SA Spurs? I have no rooting interest in either team, but if given the choice, I would be much more likely to tune in and watch a Suns game than a Spurs game. I know that Spurs fans are going to reply that I just don't appreciate good fundamental B Ball, but i've got news for you...It's F'ing boring. If it wasn't your favorite team, and you didn't have a rooting interest, you would realize how truly agonizing it is to sit through a Spurs game. Anyway, let me know what you think. Did the NBA shoot itself in the foot?

I BELIEVE....that your team was torched in 5 games....The lack of leadership along with enept rebounding and terrible free throw shooting on that team is what cost you the series. I bet you feel pretty silly about dealing away Fisher. I am anxious to see all of you "wanna be, bandwagon fans" crawl back from whence you came...oh well, better luck next year!

Boozer and Kirilenko really know how to sell those phantom fouls. Harpring is a totally dirty player. The problem is that the Warriors would get technicals on the retaliation when the Jazz would be shoving the Warriors first and getting away with it.
I'm proud of how far the Warriors got this season, but I feel like we were on the cusp of getting to the Western Conference Finals. We were so close to winning the first two games and we could of won last night.

See Mehmet Okur and Steve Nash. Seems as though there might be a trend.

Stoudamire and Diaw didn't even touch anyone but they are given suspensions for trying to stand up for Nash who was a two time NVP and the best and smallest guy on their team. The NBA should be standing up for Nash but the refuse to.

The refs have been bribed, and Stu Jackson was obviously bribed so that the Spurs can advance? But why?

Its pure economics, if the young, energetic Suns advance people watch and Stern gets more money. So why does he want the boring, dirty team that hardly anyone likes to win this series?

My guess is that he's doing it to increase Tim Duncan's marketability.

- Handing out more Techinical fouls

- Calling more touch fouls then ever before.

- The new ball

- The ridiculous suspensions.

- The playoff games and some of the plays and sequences.

What do you think of the overall 2006-2007 season this year and the playoffs?
