Interesting tale on how the Denver Nuggets acquired one of my favorite NBA players, Chauncey Billups. And it includes a tale of LeBron James at the Olympics in China that's rather humorous: 'We're talking about practice!' Le Bron James declared as he led (Carmelo Anthony) and other rich, famous members of Team USA on a warm-up jog during the Summer Olympics. With a spot-on imitation, King James recreated Iverson's infamous rant about his disdain for workouts. … As the gym in Beijing echoed with laughter, even Anthony grinned."

That link was a very interesting piece.
Also, I really hope the Knicks beat the really lousy odds and end up getting the first or second lottery selection for Griffin or Rubio. That would be very interesting and make for a lot of fun. The New York media and the national media would go absolutely haywire. "FIX!!! Now LeBron is going to New York! FIX!!!" Then the local hand-wringing would begin, and guys like Windhorst and Pluto would go into one of their full-throttle LeBron-recruiting lovefests. But this time I could seriously envision daily print tributes. Or hourly print tributes. Or every 15 minute tributes. In the paper, in the blogs, wherever.
I pray the Knicks are able to beat the rotten odds and get Ewing. I mean Griffin or Rubio.
darn the Clippers and Memphis.
Sorry your dreams didn't come thru comaguy. What kind of awful, sad pathetic being takes pleasure on the misfortune of others like you do?
By the way, you know if you made a mistake spelling Ewing instead of someone else, you are typing after all so easy to backspace and put in the correct name. Unless of course you're trying to be stupid, er, I mean funny.
Stalkerguy, love the 'S' on your leather cape. Calvin Klein or Prada?
Ah, now I get it. I wasn't sure what you were writing. Actually, I'm never sure what you are writing while obsessing over me, but in this instance you had me far more befuddled than usual.
Well, Stalkerguy, let me explain it to you, since you were about 2 or so at the time. You see, it was a reference to 1985, when everybody and their mother screamed "FIX!!!" when the Knicks got the ping-pong ball to draft Pat Ewing, this despite the fact the odds were totally stacked against them. So, in light of the fact the NBA and David Stern want James in New York, and James would love playing with a point guard like Rubio in Mike D'Antoni's system assuming Rubio is as good as advertised, I thought I'd make the reference, since in this case it applied.
Accordingly, please accept my apology and forgive me if it was too obtuse for you. But of course, Stalkerguy, if you would spend far less time wondering what I am wearing underneath my Levi's, and far more time educating yourself in simple sports history, you would not suffer from such comprehension issues.
Actually, when I stop and think about it, I think I am mistaken about the ping-pong balls. I remember Stern sticking his hand in a hopper to pull out different envelopes, and there were rumors that the envelope was bent, or whatever, so I don't think ping-pong balls were used in those first lotteries.
You boys be nice and don't stay up to late in the basement playing those games on that internet thing!
