I'm pretty sure there are racist fans everywhere...

Playing ball last night I got into it with a younger guy who's a small forward who I elected to guard because I will shut motherfuckers down in the post.I was doing so and on the offensive end I was bringing him out to the three point line and crossing him over or posting him up despite his 3 inch height advantage.He's not happy and calls the cheapest foul ever.I call him a pussy and basically make his life miserable with my witty repertoire up and down the court.He signals he's had enough of me by telling me he didnt play basketball when he was younger and thats why I'm killing him and gives me the most classic line I've ever heard during basketball trash talk.He tells me to "Put a helmet on and grab a stick and play a real man's sport".I assume he's talking Hockey and tell him to go get his figure skates, he can't play any worse.He corrects me and tells me he's talking Lacrosse.Fucking Lax?I almost passed out laughing.

Interesting.I find myself pulling for Rose in this individual match up.Everything I've read about Turner is that he's a dick.

A Derrick Rose-Evan Turner rivalry has been brewing since high school

Shame about Rose.Was looking forward to the Heat series.Sixers still have no chance but will definitely win a game as I predicted.

I watched Memphis not score for 15 minutes last night to lose it.Fucking pathetic.

Rondo's a dumbass.He didnt mean to bump the ref but when he did he had to act like a tough guy.Way to cost your team the series.How's Ray Allens trade value looking?

I'm pulling for LeBron to get a ring.. fight the hate!

[BIRD33]

Its safe to say only assholes are rooting for Lebron.

[Anhil8tor]

I can handle that... he is the best player in the game right now hands down.

[BIRD33]

Not really.Rose brings more to his team.Durant is just as good on offense and actually shows up in the clutch.Lebron defers to Wade.What best player in the game does that?

Lebron averages 25.5 points, 6 assists and 3 steals a game.

He hasn't been clutch in the post season but his numbers speak for itself.

Does his non clutchness speak for it self?Kobe and Durant have better per game averages.

1. Kobe Bryant, LAL 34.5
2. LeBron James, MIA 27.7
3. Kevin Durant, OKC 27.3
4. Russell Westbrook, OKC 25.7
5. Dirk Nowitzki, DAL 24.3

In ten years the MLS will be more popular than Hockey.Book it.



Why does ESPN hate hockey?

Doria: We don’t hate hockey. When I worked in Boston (as sports editor of the Boston Globe), I probably went to more Bruins games than Celtics. There’s probably not a better in-the-house sport than hockey. Watching it live. My own personal feeling is that it never transferred well to television. I’m not exactly sure why that is.

Why does hockey get a limited presence on SportsCenter?

Doria: It’s a sport that engenders a very passionate local following. If you’re a Blackhawks fan in Chicago, you’re a hardcore fan. But it doesn’t translate to television, and where it really doesn’t transfer much to is a national discussion, which is something that typifies what we do.

Baseball fans are interested where Albert Pujols is going. NBA fans are interested in the Miami Heat. For whatever reason, and this is my unsubstantiated research on it, hockey doesn’t generate that same kind of interest nationwide. You look at national talk shows. Hockey rarely is a topic. People in Boston aren’t that interested with what’s going on with the Blackhawks.

Would it be different if you were a rights holder?

Doria: Well, we were at one time. It wasn’t that different. Listen, I guess if we were rights holder, there probably would be a little more attention paid to it. It’s typical that would happen. We might throw it to commentators who were inside the building. Now we’re not inside the building.

This highlight is more exciting than the whole overtime between the Flyer\Devils last night.

Great story in SI on LeBron...

[BIRD33]

I read it.Its total PR bullshit.He lost sense of who he was, huh?Actually he was always a spoiled athlete and got a dose of reality when he rubbed him leaving in Clevelands face.If being the villain was good for advertising he'd still be doing it.He's a contrived marketing machine who cares only about himself.Of course you ate that shit up.
