Round these parts there's a good number of senior military folk rocking the waxed handlebar moustache. It's incredibly badass, but I struggle to keep a straight face when I see it.
The stats can't be counted on 100% of the time only because there are plenty of garbage time stats. Championships frame the stats, especially the stats that count not vanishing in Game 5s of Eastern Conference finals against Boston at home depriving the world of the Kobe vs. LeBron finals...
Ron Goldman's dad Fred rocks the handlebar with conviction: And then I'll make your Badass Meter explode: ...even as a kid I wanted to be like Sam Elliot. And by that, I mean grizzled. You simply can't hate on the guy. You have never head somebody say "You know who I can't stand? That Sam Elliot asshole." He could say nothing, and still be King Of Awesome. Wade Garrett is STILL the best.
Just got done watching Louis CK's Live At the Beacon Theatre, its fucking hilarious. Totally worth the 5 dollars.
I just got done re-watching the first two Rebuild of Evangelion movies this afternoon (You are (Not) Alone, You Can (Not) Advance). Fuck they are awesome. I can't wait for the third one to come out. It has me as excited as a japanese schoolgirl in a Hello Kitty store. Shinji also isn't as much of a whiny bitch, which makes me extremely happy.
You're pretty smart for a 17 year old. Speaking of the 2004 finals, I think those Pistons are a great example of how championships are won based on more than the talent of the best player on the team. I don't think anybody on that team was in the top 20 in the league that season, but they all had defined roles and strengths that complemented one another.
A sharp reading, kind sir, notes that I said championships, plural. Last time they won consecutively was 89/90.
Oh, that's not one team. That's how I think the draft would go -- i.e., Russell would be the first pick to build around, Wilt the second, etc. If I had to build an ideal starting 5...that gets more interesting. PG: Magic SG: Jordan SF: Lebron PF: Duncan C: Russell It's hard to build a historical team like that, because so many of these players are used to having the ball in their hands at all times.
I have to head out to have dinner with the parental units, but this is a debate I always enjoy if you're interested in picking it up later. I will say that for pure basketball ability, I would put Wilt #1. However, as far as being a complete basketball player, I'd put Jordan #1 no question. I think Russell gets too much accolade for the number of championships just because he was such a great teammate, and in my opinion would get eaten alive today. Wilt shied away from big moments (and struggled at the FT line) that you simply couldn't give him the ball in big moments. People bitch about LeBron disappearing now, but Wilt was twice as bad. Kareem was basically automatic points. If anything I'd put him at number 2. People forget about his time in Milwaukee, were he basically carried a team on his back. But Jordan to me has to be the greatest ever. He played against great competition and beat them all. Off the top of my head the Pistons, Knicks, Blazers, Sonics, Pacres and Jazz all could've won championships had Jordan not cut them down. He had the most complete offensive game I've seem. Except for a sometimes spotty 3 pointer, he could go inside or outside with ease. He also made defensive player of the year something like 7 or 8 times? Ridiculous. And to top it off his personality faults translated to championships, since he would take every perceived slight, magnify it 100 times, and use it as fuel. AND he took 2 years off to tool around in a different sport just to come back and win three more championships with no dominant center. Good lord.
A sharp reading, kind sir, notes that I said championships, plural. Last time they won consecutively was 89/90.[/quote] I remember that well. With Isiah "Cunt" Thomas leading the way (I don't like him). Detroit burned both times, showing that the Lakers aren't the only city with basketball fans that are complete fucking douchebags.
Gotcha. I misunderstood. That is pretty damn solid first go though I bump Kareem and Jordan ahead of Wilt and put Magic at 5. Bird would be 6th in my world.
I've begun setting my beer on a coaster. My coffee table is made of unfinished pine, you don't want to get a ring. I guess this is growing up.
I have no idea why, but HBO is showing a 9/11 documentary right now. Pretty much no narration, just live videos and still shots of the day as well as press conferences. I find this stuff gets harder to watch with time. Why are they bringing down a long weekend Sunday with such sad things? They should be replaying Game of Thrones or something.
He doesn't, and don't ever speak like that again of a dude that does this: ...that, my friends, is masturbation fodder. Emo. Git tha fuck outta here, you crazy man.
This is funny. As a 28 year old I read this as "I've begun wiping my ass after I shit, don't want to ruin my favorite underwear."
