layzie u are lazie, if your gonna bother to quote me on something, atleast get it right, and focus on eye point, i said, i haven't watched ball this yr, as of yet, therefore i judge on what i hear or what is see here and there. as far as ol skool ball, young gurl thats all in me, end of the chitter chatter. as far as AI trade, you know what i believe, the only team that would fit him best is sacramento for mike bibby and maybe somebody else. He can run the point in sacramento with his homeboy artest and yet things will work out. i dont' see AI going anywhere else, some teams, have superstars they don't wanna trade or they don't have anyone to give up for. and yea thx for backing me up on J Kidd, j kidd was the mentor for payton man, oregan men, so don't even try to take anything away from J kidd! j kidd is a tru leader, he put carter straight and he dont play that, he respected.

jaylani you crazy man lol. How can you say Jason Kidd's triple double is overrated, last night, at his age, 38 pts, 14 assists, 14 rebounds, with JUMPSHOTS and THREE BALLS as well just to add. AI is excellent but don't even say if three inches taller, ppl would say Michael who..because there will never be another Michael Jordan sxb, thats what ppl don't get. If AI was three inches taller i doubt he would be as good as a ball handler, quickness, when he does those football slips and gets right back up with dribbling, at 5'11 without shoes i think this is his best format, he is right behind MJ for career scoring ppg. AI is good with his size sxb. Why would you say, i would not put the ball in the hands of JKidd when you have all star shooting guards already on your team??? i think your comparison on AI and Jkidd, according to who you would rely on the game winner was a weak example. Anyways, i will again say Kevin Garnett helped carry the wolves man, sprewell was off that year totally, don't even give me that man. Cassell is always Cassell. David Robinson is amond the best 50 players in history and your telling me, he had nothing to do with Duncan's growth?? man, do you even watch ball, ruunti? KG is the ultimate man, for example fantasy games or what not, just in general, the best consisten player is KG, he will always give you solid stats night in and night out. Duncan is fundamentals, i watched him right through wakeforest sxb, but i'm not sure if you stay updated but charles, and Scottie pippen once said, they would rather have KG, point blank! As far as Isiah, he was my boy, but sxb he had dumars, dennis rodman, bill lambeer, and that other guard who played behind dumars, who was an excellent player. sxb detroit was packed as well...magic as a rookie started the nba finals and scored 42 pts, are you kidding me, at 6'9 and passing out balls like that, ask anybody, magic is the best point guard since now, isiah is not even close to it man, believe that, everybody wanna be like magic, how you figure he gets some many comparisons like MJ..neways im out, but thats that!

well you right jaylaani, hakeem is better, but i based my players on who i like, only with baker and patrick... I like your old school, but Magic Johnson for PG is more deserving than Isiah bro, if your gonna put Larry in there, put his buddy of legend also.. your new schohol i would change around... C-Shaquile PF-Kevin Garnett SF-Lebron James or Carter (WHEN HE WANTS TO WIN) SG-Kobe Byrant PG-Jason Kidd you kidding me, AI is not a true PG!!! he is a scorer.. jay kidd i think is close to the record for all triple doubles and he's only a point!! i'm sorry but garnett to me is better, he took his team to the playoffs pretty far for one person, that yr, when troy hudson was killing the three's..just a reminder that kevin garnett for his own team does everything, i like duncan but he had david robinson to guide him..and he has good players on his team...and i like wade too, but it's no longer about 'like' it's who deserves to be on there.

you right man grant hill was a tough player, but i never liked him because they labelled him as 'baby jordan' he was one of the first, and so that's why lol but his game was respected My starting line up compared to Jaylaani's..as you can see i've picked player's that most would say they forgot about..but patrick vs hakeem, i won, because hakeem had role players, so did knicks but dirty work defensive players only..shawn kemp again, i think i won, because when i compare malone and stockon, compared to kemp and payton, some can say it's fair because they each had the western championships two straight years, so my favour is the exciting team the glove and kemp..vin baker and pippen, you win there, but still u gotta respect the potential of baker..shooting gaurds, were tied...point guard u said stockton, i saw payton..he bad better offensive game and better defensive game. so i won there lool Vs playmaker..patrick ewing vs hakeem, i think i won, against david robinson i won despite his 71 point game and mvp yr..power forward we're tied..shooting guard were tied..yall forgot about mitchmond horta..man was hype all star mvp 94...come on man..as for poing guard..it's a tie because u also picked kevin johnson..but my starter was payton which will rip kevin lol

you right clyde was the man, he reminds me of the iceman for some reason, gervin. horta, there were a lot of great players man, who ran into some tought times. i'd like to name a few, danny manning was a big flop for the trade rights to my boy dominique..and one dude i kind of feel sorry for but wallahi was ill was my boy shawn kemp, yall remember the dunks..i was a kevin johnson fan, infact the whole phoenix squad, remember wayman tisdale lool ..but yea penny was my man, so was dennis scott and nick anderson, huge magic fan, there's too much too name man, my question is in the mid 90's only who would u pick as ur top 5 starters for each position..here is mine.. C-Patrick Ewing PF-Shawn Kemp SM-Vin Baker SG-Michael Jordan/Mitch Richmond/Penny Hardaway PG-Gary Payton/Kevin Johnson ps..note i'm talking about when they were in their prime, for example, when vin baker was on the covers and so forth..

nah u wrong and i doubt anybody remembers this, i was in maybe gr 2, watchin it my memory re-calls scott skiles against the nuggets..GOT IT? Now get Gone lol..i grew up watchin ball since superman draws lol ..but now fo real NBA now is kinda wack, there's no defense cause you see role players averaging 20 pts a night. back than if u avg 20 pts ur playing in the all star game, believe that. things done changed

my trivia: i doubt yall remember this, but watching this game, which magic player had 30 assists in that game...and dont google use ur brain.

haha jaylani and co signer layzie, u killin me here, pick the whole conference kulaha.. listen gurl, we can all be fans of certain teams, but i'm trying to play the role of an analyst to determine who may win it all... and wallahi i haven't even watched one entire half or full game of an NBA season this year, yet to come, I'm just using what I here or see..so cut a brotha some slack will ya

and yo playmaker..on da real..dwight howard 16.7 pts and 13.7 boards..wallahi the sky is the limit for this dude...ma boy jameer nelson..is also steppin up..his boy dalonte west keepin it real as well.

Originally posted by Just-A-Brotha: and yes if it isn't the lakers this yr, i believe Suns will come out for them instead..along with spurs from the west. I will stick with the lakers even though. Read what I said, before going off. It clearly says, Lakers are my favourite to go far, and if they don't than the Suns are the only team, I see besides Spurs that can take it away from them, especially with Amare back and Jalen. So if the Lakers loose it will be because of the Suns. There style of game is hard to defend against for the Lakers. We'll see how they do throughout though. Initially i chose lakers and spurs whoever they are to come out. The suns is just a third option. I dont know who will play against who because its only 1 month of ball to be played, so breathe out and relax, you ain't gettin paid to talk trash. Besides, i can be a lakers fan but i am predicting the outcome, i can not say Lakers will win for sure, even though i want them to go to the west finals. Even an analyst can't. So, I am predicting what is FAIR. So sit tight and remenisce about your 76'ers.

The Heat don't have the big fella and that puts them on a downfall, besides the first quarter or half of the season means nothing, for a caliber team like the Heat. With the Lakers, they will go through the first round with no problem, they will advance to the second rounds, and from there, we will see. But, they will surpass last year's success; the playoffs mean a different story. They almost beat the Suns, if it wasn't for Boris Diaw to step up, and they were a 500 team when the Suns we're playing well.

lol they don't sweat me, because they think they know but yet they pick 76'ers and bulls. 76'ers are short-term, trust me on this, they will most likely strive to make the playoff berth, quote me on that. Bulls have no offense whatsoever only role players, which won't help u carry ur team for 82 games. The addition of Ben Wallace gives them defense but they still need an eddy curry to give u 17 pts night out at the centre position. I never liked the lakers to be honest, but i've been watching them closely and you can't hate, here you see a young team emerging to be stars. they are upcoming but the good thing about them is when you have a great player like Kobe who expects to go far, than possibility is you will go far as a team, its like MJ back in early 90's, who carried his team, till he made his players better, and than they added a couple of drafts..which i believe LA will do. Clips are playing well also, so is Utah, but they have to stay injury free all year to continue. Quit saying flight 13's and Bulls, because Bulls weren't always good, they progressed to be elite, u hater, and i didn't jump on the bandwagon, die hard always...even though i don't like the addition of Ben Wallace, i really don't. he doesn't give them much, when they got blockers like young tyrus already. they need an all around scorer not shooter, maybe a michael redd lol

quit co-signing and young brotha "no comment" after that cooper statement

ameenah said everyhing for me lol, wallahi she's right....amin @ nuur's duaa

^^ yes ony if you have a car

looooooool @ shooter not scorer..waar shutt up young blood...first off, i am not gonna even argue with you, because you just said i'm a flight 13, does being here almost 2 decades still make me a flight 13, so don't put your weight on me. anyways, you slippin on your facts, shooter kulaha...a shooter is kyle kover since this broad likes da 76'ers..a scorer is redd who is avg atleast 30 now, named to all star team o4 i think and he avg 20 pts in his career, top 10 scorer last yr in the league..bla bla....if redd is only a shooter who do they go for to score??? are you really that demented sxb. get your facts straight. Bulls was classic, i never liked the Lakers or kobe, but homeboy you can't go wrong man, coz hate it or love it, kobe is fire at the end of the day. im still laughing at shooter looooooool man that was a flight 13 comment just so i may let you know..u gave me a laugh walee lol

i never said that, nor did i say u can abuse that excuse lol, you can still be of the successors and be wholesome at heart and excel in your deen and have a billion dollars, 'life is temporary' targets those who do things only for the sake of earnings and greed, who forget to cogitate on death and the root of islam

you can be whoever you can be, do it for the love, don't do it for the income, because when you go to Akhira, your savings account ain't gonna follow up with you. live to eat, live to survive, enough to get to the other life and make it simple. I say this because, most of us are focused on earnings and daily livings, when this life is temporary.

speaking of somali basket ballers, I believe like many of my friends, we could have all went real far in the sport, but we all got priorities man, life, families, drama, anything to really make you slip. big up to those representing the nation though. As far as Ping pong, lol, never knew somali's played it at all, there goes another surprise.

and yes if it isn't the lakers this yr, i believe Suns will come out for them instead..along with spurs from the west. I will stick with the lakers even though.

No, I ain't medicated, I'm just spitting what i feel may be the outcome. How far did the Lakers get last year, before losing to the Suns, Game 7 right! and it was their fist yr together as a young team. Kobe24 is different than Kobe8, check out his assists, rebounds, per 48/min. Kobe will not win the scoring title trust me, he will do it all around, assuming his assists, reb,steals will increase. In saying that, he won't win scoring title. Lebron can win it, but i doubt it because if he has to play point most of the season, he will dish out more and only adjust to that 30-31 pts a game, this is '06 it ain't enough to win the title. M.Redd can win it because he is in the same situation as McGrady was back in orlando, there's nobody else who can score besides him. that sums it up. As far as Miami, dont worry, they'll make it to the playoffs and watch out they will make a trade midway through the season before the deadline. quote me on that. as far as the west i say lakers because the west is any given team. Spurs are a component of greatness; they are hungry this yr believe me. Lakers core game is beautiful and great players like Kobe will make lamar and Parker step up mid way through and help kwame and bynum become better than ever, role players like turiaf, cook, mihm, my boy s.williams will definately give in this yr. Lastly, how are you going to go against what i said, when you got the lil 76'ers in your side, la illah, iverson is too small, webber is retired in my book, and that high flyer doesn't have a jump shot!

come again? so your saying, i can call whoever i like within north america, through a comp, and I won't be credited, if this was to work, whats the performance like for 'voice'.

jazakallahu khairan bro, lol@ valium, great insight though

you can never duplicate a ronaldhino dawg, but i'll tell u what, the kid is good but I still ain't get off my seat, so he aiiight lol
