The NBA is garbage. Give me Italy, France or Spain any day.
Kevin Durant actually has to live Oklahoma City.

I remember Lamont's junior year he was shooting damn near 50% from 3 point land and we'd go nuts anytime he'd shoot a 3 because he almost made all of them. No one game him any credit for his range.

I wish he would have hit the weights harder because he could have been a real beast with a legit strength and conditioning program.

great new feature Dave--keep it up

The money's good and so are the groupies.  But shiit, if I had a regular paycheck?  Have you seen Mallorca?  Or if a guy had a chance to play in Barcelona?  I'd turn down Ok City for that.  hell, I'd turn down Atlanta for Greece!

For me, I thought the thing was that his touch around the basket wasn't good, and it seemed to be a disease that went through all of Norm's big men.  Tomas could never get a bunny to fall, either.  I don't know how you teach that, but it was something missing.    Keep it up, Dave!
