i go with the knicks-miami heat rivalry



Yoooo nba fans look?nba statistics





Boston LA.



1960's it was big.



1980's best show in all sports



2008 - David Stern's wet dream



Yoooo nba fans look?nba store ,nba teams



Rockets-Spurs



Hornets-Lakers (for now)
kings/lakers



"HORRY FOR 3!!!!"



Me: "F*ck!"



but seriously, probably Lakers/Celtics or Bulls/Jazz
Lakers-Celtics, goes way back
Of all time? Wow, probably Knicks-Celtics...or Lakers-Celtics...
either celtics vs lakers or



pistons vs bulls



present day



any matchup in the west
suns and lakers in my personal opinion
The Mavericks and Spurs is my pick for biggest rivalry.

Best front court in NBA?

what NBA team has the best front court starters,coming off bench..in the NBA....i'll go with Pistons ..R.Wallace,T.Prince,J.Maxiell,A.Johnson... Ratliff, thats a pretty good rotation of 6....



Best front court in NBA?nba shop





Detroit



Orlando: Howard, Turk, Lewis



NO: West, Chandler, Stojakovic



Best front court in NBA?nba schedules ,nba teams



im thinkin the wizards, THE REAL BIG THREE



C-HAYWOOD



F-JAMISON



F-BUTLER



G-STEVENSON



PG-ARENAS!!!!! Report It


In terms of balance I agree, the Pistons with Prince, Wallace, and Maxiell have a deadly combination of offense, defense, intensity, and chemistry. Honorable mentions should go to Orlando with Howard, Turkoglu, and Lewis, though they are a bit undersized so that hurts them, and Boston with Perkins, Garnett, and Pierce but I say Detroit still plays better together.



If the Lakers are healthy and learn to work together though, it's scary to think about Odom, Bynum, and Pasol with their length and height on the court at the same time.
a healthy laker team



bynum and gasol at c/pf, lemar at pf, ronni, chris mimh, rodmonovic, unstoppable
For now, Detriot, that front court has lots of versatility and experience. In the near FUTURE, it will be very different though..



I think Lakers will have something to say if Bynum comes back: Bynum; Gasol; Odom; Turiaf; Ariza; Radmanovic.
Are you a Pistons fan?



You said that the Pistons have the best backcourts (or guards), now you say they have the best front court.



The best Front Court would got to be the Rockets' club.



In case you don't know, Landry, Scola, Battier, Mutombo, Hayes, and Yao Ming.



That gives you the best defensive front court in the NBA.
Garnett, Big Baby, Perkins, Powe, PJ Brown CELTICS have a star youth, and experience on their frontline, any one can go double double on any night
Definitely a case for the Lakers with Bynum.
Best Frontcourt: When Lakers get Bynum back they will have 2 good 7 footers, and Odom(triple double waiting to happen)



Best Backcourt: Either Ellis and Davis or Billups and Hamilton.
What about Utah??



Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur, and Andrei Kirilenko have all been named to the all star team in recent years. Throw in a stud like Paul Millsap, and a tough guy like Matt Harpring, and that's a deep frontline. Even Jarron Collins is good on the defensive end.
Detroit has the best BACK COURT not the best front court.
Right now, I think it's the Lakers' Gasol-Odom-Radmanovic.
How about the Lakers?



C - Andre Bynum



PF - Pau Gasol



SF - Lamar Odom



SG - Kobe Bryant



PG - Derek Fisher



Off the bench:



C/PF - Ronny Turiaf



C - Chris Mihm



F - Luke Walton



C - DJ Mbenga



F - Trevor Ariza



F - Vladimir Radmanovic



I think the Lakers have a good frontcourt starters as well of the bench.

Who caused the NBA to widen the lanes in 1951?

Which NBA player is primarily responsible for the NBA to widen the lanes from 6 feet wide to 12 feet wide in 1951?



Who caused the NBA to widen the lanes in 1951?fan gear





Geroge "Mr. Basketball" Mikan. Mikan became so dominant that the NBA had to change its rules of play in order to reduce his influence such as widening the lane from six to twelve feet ("The Mikan Rule"). He also played a role in the introduction of the shot clock, and in the NCAA his dominating play around the basket led to the outlawing of defensive goaltending. Mikan set the stage for the Modern Age of the NBA dominated by tall, powerful players.



Who caused the NBA to widen the lanes in 1951?nba draft ,nba teams



Yes Thak you too for the 10 points. You know I just knew it. Ihave been reading lots of Basketball articles that somehow I knew some of the great players by heart, Thanks again! Report It


I'm quite sure it was Wilt Chamberlain, although I don't think he played his first year in the NBA until 1959 so you might be a bit off on 1951 being the year that happened.



I looked Chamberlain up on Wikipedia to make sure I had my facts straight before posting a response. This is from the Wikipedia article:



"The two-time NBA champion and 1972 NBA Finals MVP is holder of numerous official NBA all-time records, establishing himself as a scoring champion, all-time top rebounder and setting yardsticks in field goal accuracy. He was also responsible for several rule changes, such as widening the lane, regarding inbounding the ball and shooting free throws."



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilt_Chambe...



Edit: I may be mistaken about the 1951 change and could be referring to a 2nd increase in lane width that widened it beyond 12 feet, so the earlier poster may be correct.
it came from really bad players

New NBA age limit?

David Stern and other NBA officials have been talking about raising the age limit to declare for the draft to 20 (for most people that is after somphore year). My question is will this happen and if it does will it affect this year's draft?



New NBA age limit?nba gear





it will happen, but it can not affect this year's draft, that is impossible. Last time they were talking about raising the limit it happened, and David Stern is very adamant about this.



New NBA age limit?nba finals 2007 ,nba teams



I do not think it will happen this year but it could happen in next years draft. It would be not fair to put that rule this year because some players like Beasley are already preparing for the draft.

I'm sorry, but the NBA is League ran and it's a complete joke?

Anyone who doesn't think the league is ran by the league office is deaf, dumb and blind. No way in the world all these franchise players keep moving to more interesting markets if the league was in better shape.



The NBA lost alot of interest with the ref scandal last summer and now Stern and his goons are artificially trying to make the league more hyped and interesting with all these crazy trades..Shaq to the Lakers rival Suns for Marion!!Hmmm head shaker. It's a joke.



Not only that, but someone told me that Stern is paying ESPN big money to hype the NBA on their site and TV. All ESPN has been talking about the last 2 weeks is NBA. Barelycollegeb-ball, hockey, champions league like they used to which now are seeing barely any coverage.



I'm sorry, but the NBA is League ran and it's a complete joke?nba betting





That is just stupid if the leagues front office wanted to bust rating they would make trade in the biggest sports cities in the country NEw Yrok and Philly, neither have made any big maove before the trading deadline.



New Yrok and Philly are teo of the origainal NBa cities and are to big sports a b-ball cities in the world. ANd both teams suck .



Stop trying to create things in your head.



I'm sorry, but the NBA is League ran and it's a complete joke?nba fantasy ,nba teams



yes the refs and commisioner hav 2 much control
Hey, it's a business. What do you expect?
maybe, but i still rather watch the nba than any of those others you mentioned.
maybe, but i still rather watch the nba than any of those others you mentioned.
that sutff may be true but if the league office was making these trades dont you think that they would move all the superstars to the east so more people could watch them play. and the reason there talking about the nba so much is beacasue of all the trades and beacause all theother sports you mentioned suck and this is the only good sport in play right now
maybe, but i still rather watch the nba than any of those others you mentioned.

NBA Playoff Predictions?

Here's mine, what's yours?



Eastern Finals:



(1) Detroit over (2) Cleveland



Western Finals:



(5) Houston over (2) Phoenix



NBA Finals:



(5) Houston over (1) Detroit



MVP: Yao Ming



NBA Playoff Predictions?college football





Playoff predictions:



Eastern Conference First round



(1) Pistons over (8) Magic 4-0



Reason: The pistons swept the Magic this year...I can see them doing the same in the playoffs



(2) Cavs over (7) Wizards 4-0



Reason: The wizards WOULD win this series if healthy...But without Arenas....Sorry, Wizards, but your gonna get swept.



(3) Raptors over (6) Nets 4-3



Reason: Oh....My favorite first round matchup :). However, the Nets usually arn't very good come playoff time. If the Raptors had more experience i'd say Raptors in 6.



(5) Bulls over (4) Heat 4-1



Reason: The reign of the Miami Heat is over: in the first round. Shaq, D-wade, Walker, Williams, Haslem etc...How can they lose? Just throw them up against the best team in the east...All the games will be close, but the bulls will win the close games.



Western Conference First round



(1) Mavs over (8) Warriors 4-2



Reason: I'm worried about my favorite team: the mavs....But i gotta have faith and say they wont get upset.



(2) Suns over (7) Lakers 4-1



Reason: The Lakers shouldn't even be here.



(3) Spurs over (6) Nuggets 4-2



Reason: The Nuggets have A.I. and 'Mello...But they are going up against Spurs defense.



(5) Rockets over (4) Jazz 4-0



Reason: As you say, Yao is gonna be huge (although i dont believe he can be a MVP in the finals...but hey, you could very well prove me wrong)



Eastern conference semi-finals



(2) Cavs over (3) Raptors 4-3



Reason: The Raptors will be wore out from a very tough series against the Nets, while the Cavs are coming off the easiest first round opponent possible.



(5) Bulls over (1) Pistons 4-2



Reason: The Bulls proved they could beat, no, not beat, CRUSH the pistons in that humiliating loss at home to the Bulls.



Western Conference Semifinals



(3) Spurs over (2) Suns 4-2



Reason: Defense against Offense, and sadly, Defense wins championships.



(1) Mavs over (5) Rockets 4-2



Reason: The Rockets will give the Mavs a run for their money each and every game....But in the end the Mavs will be victorious.



Eastern Conference Finals



(5) Bulls over (2) Cavs 4-2



Reason: The Cavs just arn't as good. Period. King James is awesome, but even his team wont be able to stop the Bulls.



Western Conference Finals



(1) Mavs over (3) Spurs 4-3



Reason: Best matchup of the playoffs. Mavs will have a very tough time, but i believe they can pull it off.



NBA Finals



(5) Bulls over (1) Mavs 4-3



Reason: The Mavs will come in over-confident after being, what all the analysts say will be the NBA Champs, the western champs..Chicago will shock them in game 7 for its first title since Jordan.



Finals MVP: Luol Deng



Reason: He does everything, and does everything well.



NBA Playoff Predictions?nba.com ,nba teams



Are you kidding? The Mavs have the best record in the NBA and have homecourt advantage.



There's no way San Antonio will beat the Mavsin the series. None. Go MAVS!!!
West:



San Antonio over Dallas



East:



Cleveland over Chicago



San Antonio over Cleveland
The Rockets have T Mac, Yao, and...and....no one else. There's no way that can match up with Mr. Big Shot Chauncey Billups, Rip, a rejuvinated C Webb, and the best small forward in the game, Tayshaun Prince. Note that all the players I listed, with the exception of C Webb (who's just a role player anyway), have a ring, tons of playoff experience, and aa familiarity with the underdog role the Pistons keep getting tagged with. Pistons over Mavs in 5.
Your predictions seem feasible. I really hope the Warriors beat the Mavs. That'd be a sweet upset for decades to come. Houston seems to have everything together and it's either the Spurs or Rockets for the West and most likely Detroit to represent the East. I believe the Rockets would beat Detroit in the Finals and Tracy McGrady would have to carry the team, not Yao.



Tayshaun Prince the best SF in the league? I could name 10 better in a split second buddy.
Eastern Finals:



Detroit vs. Miami



Western Finals:



Lakers vs. San Antonio



NBA Finals:



Lakers vs. Miami
mark my words everyone.....



miami and houston finals......i telling you



shaq daddy the big chinaman



Houston wins the title....everyone loves the mas because of their streaks in the regular season...but thats all it is the regular season....



dirk choked in the finals last year and hes gonna lose to houston in round two if they even get there...the lost 7/8 again the warriors....and got swept this year by them
Matt D., you are retarded. Tayshaun Prince is not the best small forward in the league. Have you ever heard of a guy named Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Josh Howard, Luol Deng, Rashard Lewis, and many others I just can't think of right now? Gees...some people need to be realistic and quit believing that the players on the team they support are the best in the league. As for the playoffs, I think the Suns will beat the Bulls 4-2 in the Finals.
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! I like they way you think homeboy



...............................H-TOWN!...



.................but... i got it like...........



Houston vs Spurs



Chicago vs New Jersey



Chicago in 6 and Houston in 7



Houston in 5 games vs the Bulls



Yao.. MVP ....MVP....MVP.....MVP....MVP!!!
NBA Finals:



Dallas over Detroit



MVP: Dirk
i think for the eastern finals would be



miami over detroit



western finals



PHOENIX over mavs



NBA Finals



Miami vs PHOENIX!!!



MVP: Dirk deserves it but i hope Steve nash wins =D



GO PHOENIX SUNS!!!
WEST:



Phoenix over Houston



EAST:



Bulls over Cavs



FINALS:



Phoenix over Bulls



FInals MVP: Steve Nash
FINAL



HEAT -vs- MAVS and Heat repeat yea!



I love the Suns but I just want us to beat the MAvs and shut Cuban up for at leat 1 more year lol!

Shouldn't the NBA make AIR JORDAN the new NBA SYMBOL?

I think it's a crime to have West as the symbol %26amp; not MJ. Michael Jordan made a much LARGER impact on the NBA then Jerry West. Most of the time you think of basketball MJ would enter your head. To be honest I don't know how West became the symbol anyways. There been others players before West that was greater then him.



Shouldn't the NBA make AIR JORDAN the new NBA SYMBOL?nba lottery





Very good question. Back in the early 90's, i myself thought with very strong conviction, that MJ's impact on the league was so huge that they should very well change it. He has done everything that Jerry West has done.... 10 times over! Don't even get me started talking about the NBA as entertainment. MJ is the one who gave it global appeal. MJ is the one who boosted sales for NBA apparel through the roof. MJ's superstar level charisma and showmanship are the reasons that the NBA has been in constant search for the "next MJ". I mean anyone who can't see that, just hasn't been watching basketball for at least 20 years. His impact was not only felt even as a rookie in the league, but it transcended sports...let alone just basketball. He even raised the bar for other so called superstars in other sports. Look what he has done for NIKE and GATORADE. Please tell me WHO has EVER in ANY sport, (while actually playing) generated so much attention...so much respect...so much fear from would be opponents... so many ooooh's and aaaah's and straight up inspiring and heroic moments.... WHO HAS EVER DONE THAT??? i'll tell you who....NO ONE! do i think the NBA should change the logo? the answer is YES! but if they haven't even considered it by now, chances are they never will. Yeah....true basketball fans know who is Jerry West.... BUT people everywhere, including those who do not even watch sports, know who MJ is. I'm certain David Stern is enjoying the fruits of MJ's impact on the NBA.



Shouldn't the NBA make AIR JORDAN the new NBA SYMBOL?nba champs ,nba teams



WHAT!...the "air jordan"..symbol was a basketball with wings....too corny...(like your questions)



did you mean the "jumpman logo?"........you stupid bastard!!



ahhhhh!..haaaaa!..haaaaa!!!.....haaaaa... easy..to easy...
I know this may sound kinda weird and complicated but could the pigment of the player's skin might hinder from that happening?



But MJ %26gt; JW fsho big time in all areas of hoops and if I had the choice I would put MJ's out there.
No. The NBA should not make AIR JORDAN the new NBA symbol.
Every one think MJ is by far the best player ever. He's amazing and is the best all-around player ever, but not by that much. It's a photo-finish.



And Mj is still in the league as a GM. Wait for him to go from basketball completely, then you'll get your wish.
no. Jordan is one of a kind. HE IS A LEGEND. so thewre i answerr question
i agree 10000000000000%. MJ had the drive to be the best, and he was. he is a great representation of the game.
No, because the NBA symbol is too well known.



Jordon definitely had a bigger impact, but West really helped get the NBA off the ground as far as entertainment goes.
At this point, yes. The NBA stopped being basketball a long time ago with Jordan.

Are NBA players smudging off their tattoos or is it just camera trick that I see on TV?

I've noticed recently when I watch NBA on tv, a lot of players have smudged off tattoos. At first when I saw it on one player I thought how stupid the player is for not sticking with his tattoo. But then I kept seeing more players with smudged-off tattoos. Wait a minute, that can't be right. So are tv networks censoring the tattoos by smudging them off?



Are NBA players smudging off their tattoos or is it just camera trick that I see on TV?nba trade rumors





Let's hope the youth and the athletes are removing their tattooes and giving up their rock music. They are showing a dangerous example to impressionable youth. Tattooes frequently cause blood poisoning. You will have to type in to a search engine. I can give you websites but I would be accused of solicitation.



Are NBA players smudging off their tattoos or is it just camera trick that I see on TV?nba standings ,nba teams



no they arent smudging them.... i think you just need HDTV...cuz your pixelation is lying to you.

Nba all star game?

tell me what they should do during the all star weekend and to make it more entertaining?



i feel that they should come up with a one on one competition... like kobe vs lebron... iverson vs wade or whatever... or they can do like the video game nba jam where they pick the best 2 players on a team and play 2 on 2... to me i think that will be good to watch.... i know there are alot of cons to that idea but it can be fixed...



Nba all star game?nba finals





i think they just need more incentives for the players to participate whole heartedly in the all star weekend activities. It's no fun watching them play lazily.



Nba all star game?college football ,nba teams



pros's vs.college/ audience....... LOL
pro vscollegewould be a blowout
one on one sounds like a good idea...id like to see kobe vs anyone, jus to see kobe win....lol....id like to see like the and 1 team vs nba all stars, to see who wins....
really nice idea.It would be fascinating to watch lebron vs kobe,kidd vs nash(that should be interesting).yeah it's fun to watch.



also rookie challenge is really boring.



maybe they can put a match that international players vs Usa players why not hard but not impossible
Make the Dunk contest longer
They should get Lebron to do the dunk contest - once and for all. Why haven't we seen this guy yet? Also, I'd have to agree w/ the incentives part - give the winning side something they'll play for. Maybe x amount to each player to donate to their favourite charity or something.
instead of putting rookies in a dunk contest why not put the big allstars in the game of today.



like



kobe bryant



lebron james



vince cartor



dwayne wade
get monkies involved
One on One would be a great idea.



I think they should make the best players do the slam dunk contest.
yea Brown asked that a couple of days ago that'll be perfect

No OTs



TIm Duncan...26 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks



Lebron James...19 points, 11 rebounds , 7 assists



Refs WILL always side with Lebron and the cavs at home...juss watch and see how ridiculous some of the calls are going to be against the spurs in Cleveland.



David Stern wants to glorify lebron so i wouldn't be surprised if lebron gets the dwayne wade treatment and goes to the free throw line a a gazillion times.
? think its going to be tight but i would say the cavs will win



90-86



no Ot



LBJ will get 31 points and TD will get 24



the refs will be slghtly against the cavs
Score: 92-78 Spurs



OT's: 0



Duncan: 22pts 12 reb 4 assists 2 blks 2 TO



Lebron: 28pts 6 reb 8 assists 3 stls 5 TO



Refs: I don't think they will be extra fishy.
id say ummmm .... spurs 95 cavs 88



lebron 26 pts 5 assist



duncan 19 pts 3 assist
Cavs 88 Spurs 76



LJ: 35 Points, * rebounds, 9 assists



TD: 23 Points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks
Final Score: 98 - 62



In Favor of: Spurs



The only way this game will be close will be if the NBA sets up a handicap system for the Cavs each point will be worth 3 more then each point the Spurs make. NO OT.



Tim Duncan: 21 points, 11 reb, 2 blks.



LeBJ: 15 points, 4 assists, 5 rebs.



The refs will not play a part anymore then they already have and the Spurs have still killed them.
102-101 Cavs win, no OT. The refs called more foul on the Spurs.



LeBron scored 24, with 6 rebounds had 10 assists but had 7 turnover,



Tim Duncan scored 21 points, had 16 rebounds .



and 2 blocks, also 4 assists.



The Spurs were led by Manu with 27 points, I guess he took exception with that elbow.



I've simulated this game on my NBA 2k7.
Cavs will win 89-83



no OT



Duncan-23pts 11rebs 5ast; James-31pts 7rebs 7ast
1.103-95 CLE



2.No



3.Duncan 25 pts-7 reb



LBJ 40 pts-9 reb-6 assists



4.The calls will look like they are going towards CLE but the Spurs do a lot of things that you don't realize until you look at the replays. The officials will be paying closer attention so they will catch that sort of stuff.
cavs win by 6.



lebron has 37 pts, 9 reb, 8 ast, 2 fouls



duncan has 19 pts, 8 reb, 4 blks, and 7 turnovers.



gibson has 27 pts. 6-7 for 3 pointers.



GO CAVS!
89-85 Cavs



No OT's



Duncan 25 pts, 11 reb, 6 assists



Lebron 32 pts, 7 reb, 9assists
Spurs win 110-105



No OT's



Tim Duncan 32 pts 12 rebounds 5 blocked shots



LBJ 35 pts 7 assists



the refs will favor Cleveland in the calls tonight
Game 3 - Spurs 106......Cavs 92.....There will be no need for overtime.......Duncan 29 pts...14 rebounds....4 assists.....4 blocks....Lebron.....31 pts.....6 rebounds....8 assists....1 block......The refs will do the usual and control as much of the game as they can..

Most disfunctional franchises in the NBA ?

What are the 5 most disfunctional NBA franchise in the NBA ?



1.New York Knicks



2.L.A Lakers



3.Timberwolves - They are still problems within the organization



4.??



5.??



5 most disfunctional team in the nba right now?



Most disfunctional franchises in the NBA ?nba history





4) Seattle



5) Chicago



Most disfunctional franchises in the NBA ?nba trade ,nba teams



Not sure if Portland has turned things around but they may have the longest rap sheet.
bobcats!? new teams = new players... no superstars, it won't work out
Knicks #1- way, way in front



#4--sacramento (drafts too many slow white guys that suck--cant evaluate talent)



#5-phily (Igadala is over-rated, they overpay these bums/post players, cant evaluate talent)



honorable mentions- new jersey (bunch of creamy-puffs, choke artists), memphis (Gasol sux), charlotte (bunch of retards), indiana (no talent)
I'll give you my top three



1. The Knicks



2. The Knicks



3. The Knicks



They are a %26amp;%$#ing travesty.
1.New York Knicks



2.L.A Lakers



3.Timberwolves



4.Washington Wizards



5.Indiana Pacers
nah... you can't portland there. the randolph trade represents the last of the jailblazers.



i'll put the cavs because of their failure to resign verajao or find a suitable replacement. the spurs offered them scola and didn't take the trade because they'd have to accept jackie butler's contract too.



bobcats too. the FO likes to stockpile alot of wing talents and 2 guards which would have been great except they have no point guard. who the hell is running the offense for that team?



clippers. i don't think the management understands that elton brand, great though he is, can't carry this team on his own. get the dude some help will yah!



knicks takes the cake... and the plate too when its comes to dysfunctionality. at least they're good at something.
hawks



clipper
Knicks, Lakers, Timberwolves....agreed there. Everyone knows about the Knicks, the Lakers have had issues since Jerry West left, and the Timberwolves.....Kevin McHale has proven he can't manage a franchise and they pissed away one of the greatest players in the game today by not complementing him with the talent he needed to play beyond April, and they're only going to get worse.



Here's my other two:



A few years ago you could've said Portland, but maybe things are better there now that most of the "JailBlazers" are gone?



Sonics--all the turmoil with owner Clay Bennett wanting them out of Seattle...the city fighting them for the lease on Key Arena.



Grizzlies--have had issues for years. Owner wants to sell the team, couldn't cut it in Vancouver...now they want out of Memphis, Pau Gasol is always unhappy, never won a playoff game.
The 4th Right now I'd have to say Bulls because there 2-10 and can't get a win. Considering they were a threat last year there this years joke. All there players were playing great last year and there a very young team.



And the 5th goes to Seattle theve been a failure for a while and need to get a big player because if they can't do it with ray allen it will have to take somebody like Dwight Howard, LeBron or even McGrady.
1.New York Knicks



2.L.A Lakers



3.L.A. Clippers



4.Timberwolves



5.Charolette Bobcats
1. knicks (no brainer)



2. lakers (probably should still be knicks, but kobe drama is good for 2)



3. seattle (city issues and the team just sucks)



4. pacers (they really need a change, should rebuild)



5. chicago (somethings not right over there, I just can't figure out what)



portland has done an excellent job with their organization the past 2 years. They retooled with young promising players, and got rid of all their diseases. I really like where this franchise is going.
4.Atlanta



5.Clippers
Well, I have to say Knicks.. They have clueless GM Isiah Thomas
1. Knicks



2. Lakers



3.Timberwolves



4. Seattle



5.Pacers.
1. Suns - all that talent and never won a damn thing



2. Mavs - see above



3. T-Wolves - where's Kevin Mc ?



4. Knicks - there is always something wrong



5. Miami - Wade and Shaq two hall of famers surrounded by a bunch of selfish me-first players

NBA greatest franchise?

When you think of the NBA, which team come to your mind? Before you answer this question, look at the facts, like title and collection of players on that frachise history. Please only 1 team for this question.



NBA greatest franchise?nba draft





Boston Celtics %26amp; LA Lakers...



NBA greatest franchise?ncaa ,nba teams



crab people.
Los Angeles Lakers...when thinking of the 80's and 90's you think of the Lakers! (I'm in my 20's)
Even though I hate them it has to be the Boston Celtics. They have a ton of HoF's in their franchise history and I'm not sure about the total number of championships, but I know they have more than anyone else.
NBA greatest Franchise of all times I would have to say goes to the Celtics and the Lakers. They both have a great history in the sport and possesed some of the greatest plyers the game has ever seen. Currently the best franchise of the past five years has to be the Spurs and the Pistons. Both of these teams has owned their respective confrences for the past 5 or 6 years. They're also teams that are under the radar every year, and every yeear make a great run to the finals of the confrences.
Boston Celtic



According to Nba.com, Boston won NBA title years:



1956-57, 1958-59, 1959-60, 1960-61, 1961-62, 1962-63, 1963-64, 1964-65, 1965-66, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1973-74, 1975-76, 1980-81, 1983-84, 1985-86



More than any other teams...
Minneapolis/LA Lakers



14 rings, 28 Finals appearance.
1.Boston Celtics (Loads of Championship)



2.Los Angeles Lakers



3.San Antonio Spurs
Franchise...Celtics or Lakers



...I like some of the old 76er teams.



Cleveland is building a Franchise, the longer we can keep Lebron in the city, the better.



He can go where he wants, though... at least we made it to the Finals for the first time.
The Lakers. They've been in the playoffs more times than any other team in the league and has won 14 championships in 28 finals appearances which give fans something to cheer for every year.
Boston Celtics 11 nba champinships
well there was alot of teams in the olden days that were good because of the good players so one great team would be boston celtics
the Utah Jazz????? ;-)
Well the answer would definitely be the 90's Chicago Bulls.



No doubt.
the Detroit pistons
Boston and Lakers
LAKERS!!!! JUST LOOK AT THE PLAYERS THAT HAVE PLAYED THERE THE NUMBER OF TITLES THEY HAVE WON ALL OF THERE HISTORY IS GREAT!!!
Celtics have the most titles and hall of famers, but they were bad for 20 years -until this year... Lakers had a lot of great wins and players too, so it's a tough decision!



But if you look at the numbers, Celtics had the most success.
boston celtics



16 championships in 19 appearences in other words that is a championship record of 16-3 that is just plain awesome.

Entering the NBA draft?

Am 14 but in the future am entering the nba draft

Entering the NBA draft?nba season





Anyone can enter the NBA draft. All you have to be is 19 years old and one year out of high school. To enter you just have to fill out hours of paper work. You can read about this student at LSU that didn't even play for the team but entered the draft. This was back in 2005 when high schoolers could enter.

NBA championship, world basketball championship or olympic gold medal for basktball?

If you were a professional basketball player, would you rather have five to six NBA championships (or any professional league you are in) or 2 or 3 Gold medals playing for you country in the world basketball championships or only one Olypmic Gold medal playing for your country?



I would choose the Olympic Gold medal.



how about you? just want to know your opinions on this.



NBA championship, world basketball championship or olympic gold medal for basktball?nba 08





NBA championship is fine. However, being a World Champion/ Olympic Champion with your nation brings a sense of national pride.



NBA championship, world basketball championship or olympic gold medal for basktball?nba finals ,nba teams



NBA championships. That's where the best competition is and what you fight for year after year if you are in the NBA. With all the international competitions (at least for most countries) You don't play with those guy's all year so it's like an all star game. It's not the same. NBA championship all the way.
So am I . the Olympic Gold medal
Definitely Gold Medal



It makes a whole country happy



and also is "less commercial"
if i was a a player period, i want ALL!!
The prestiges of winning any of the competitions mention are different. But for me, if I am the player, it is the best if I could win it all. But the pride of representing your country and winning the gold will give great national pride.
NBA because that means money and people will still buy your throwback jersey 20 yrs later. Athletes need to be appropriately compensated for time sacrifices to represent their country.



World Champs? Olympic Champs? Very nice but who can name the current world champs complete squad? Probably not even the people in Spain.

Nba 2k8 question.?

Anyone know the ones that have come before? I just need titles, you don't have to know which song went with what year (but if you do, I'll be very impressed! :-D )

NBA Questions?

1. Who owns more? Kobe or Mcgrady?



2. What team do you think will win in the Playoffs?



3. Which player do you hate the most?



4. Which team do you hate the most?



5. Which player do you like the most?



6. Which team do you like the most?



7. Who would win?All the centers in the NBA or all the shooting guards?



NBA Questions?pro basketball





1. Well, both are fantastic players, but (reluctantly), i would have to go with kb24. He is quite talented in pretty much every aspect, and that can't be argued.



2. Phoenix Suns. We're going to get it done this season. and this time we won't get robbed (NBA MVP 06-07 season David Stern).



3. Kobe Bryant. not a big fan of him. Sorry, but it takes more than scoring 81 points to be MVP. which by the way i believe he has 0 of.



4. Los Angeles Lakers



5. Steve Nash. The ultamite. he's my hero! i can't believe i heard talks of him backing up jason kidd. how ridiculous.



6. Phoenix Suns.



7. Why shooting guards of course.take em out at the 3-point where they cant get to us lol. eh just my opinion.



NBA Questions?nba history ,nba teams



McGrady Owns. I could never root for Kobe.



I think an East Coast team will win this year. I think the west will get careless around playoff time.



I hate Kobe. His rape conviction was on my birthday. Happy Birthday me. I also hate Arenas, but he doesn't really back up his mouth, so he's pretty harmless.



I hate the Lakers. Always have, always will.



I really liked Greg Oden. Too bad he won't play this year. Brandon Roy can get it done though.



Portland baby!!!



Streetball, centers. Crappy ticky tack NBA garbage, Guards.
1. I like McGrady more, but can't lie and say he owns more than Kobe. McGrady has never even got out of the first round of the playoffs - pathetic; and that's with a decent supporting cast (YAO).



2. A solid team in the Playoffs will be the Dallas Mavericks. They lost the Championships two years ago and were eliminated in the first round last year. They will come back with vengence and go far.



3. My least favorite player in the NBA has got to be Antoine Walker. Overrated and terrible, theres just not much more to say.



4. My favorite player would have to be either Elton Brand or Kevin Garnett, both great players bent on winning and willing to work hard to get there. They each have a great personality, on and off the court.



6. My favorite team was and still is the L.A. Clippers. They have suffered a lot and will eventually be good and a true championship contender, but injuries are killing us. What happened to Livingston was terrible, and with Brand out now, we don't have much of a chance.



7. For every good center in the NBA, there are ten shooting guards, making the centers more valuable. And, no shooting guard can come even close to stopping a Shaq or Dwight Howard in the post whereas a center can play off a shooting guard and make them shoot jumpshots.
1. Mcgrady



2. Celitcs



3. tony parker



4. spurs



5. d wade and king james



6. heat



7. all the shooting guards
1. I like McGrady but the truth is that Kobe owns more.



2. Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, or Dallas Mavericks.



3. Tim Duncan



4. San Antonio Spurs



5. Tracy McGrady



6. Houston Rockets



7. centers.
1. Who owns more? Kobe or Mcgrady?



Kobe, Mcgrady is always injured ALWAYS but he can score 81 I mean he scored 63 once for the magic and he missed about 14 freethrows so he could have probably scored like Kobe but if you really think about it Kobe has no one on his team and almost got out of the first round by himself and McGrady had 2good teams and he couldnt get out of the first round



2. What team do you think will win in the Playoffs?



Honostly if Boston develops the right chemistry they're going to win it all.



3. Which player do you hate the most?



Tim Duncan because he's on the spurs



4. Which team do you hate the most?



Spurs because they cheated to get Duncan



5. Which player do you like the most?



Marbury



6. Which team do you like the most?



Knicks NY BABY



7. Who would win?All the centers in the NBA or all the shooting guards? All Centers lmao BLOCK BLOCK

NBA Fight?

There was a fight in the NBA yesterday, does anyone know what team the players were on, why and what happened?



NBA Fight?nba schedules





All 10 players on the court, including league scoring leader Carmelo Anthony, were ejected after the melee Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The mayhem began when New York's Mardy Collins flagrantly fouled the Nuggets' J.R. Smith with 1:15 left in Denver's 123-100 victory.



Anthony faces an automatic suspension for throwing a punch, and Smith and New York's Nate Robinson will be penalized for their fight that spilled into the stands.



With so much footage to review and players, coaches and officials to interview, the league probably will need time to make its ruling.



"We don't have timetable for when the decision will be reached," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Sunday.



Still, it might well come Monday since both teams play that night. The league's policy has been to rule on any suspensions before the teams involved play their next game.



The Knicks host Utah on Monday; the Nuggets are home against Washington.



Anthony could receive one of the harshest penalties. He twice escalated actions, shoving Robinson in the neck and throwing a hard punch that dropped Collins just when things seemed to be calming down.



Last season, Orlando's Keyon Dooling was suspended five games without pay and Seattle's Ray Allen three for their fight, which also spilled into the crowd. Dooling threw a punch that did not connect.

Nuggets and Knicks. Somebody gave a hard foul w/ about a minute left to go, and all 10 players on the court started punching eachother. Carmelo threw a couple of punches so he should be out. They're announcing the suspensions today, but all 10 players are out for sure.
Melo a man he took Collins down with one punch all the Knicks became bulls to chase Melo they know one punch to Melo wouldn't hurt.

NBA 07 Featuring The Life Volume 2 For PS2 Field Goal?

Ok i'm playing NBA 07 Featuring The Life Volume 2 For PS2 and i'm plaing "The Life" Mode and it says "Make A 1-2 point Field Goal With /SF" And i have done every kind of shot like half court and from every line and it won't say it's complete so how do i do a Field Goal on a basketball game?



NBA 07 Featuring The Life Volume 2 For PS2 Field Goal?nba updates





a field goal is just a shot from anywhere on the court...i'm not sure what's wrong with your game, if its street rules that your playing with, then its asking u to make a field goal from anywhere on the court, behind or in front of the 3 point line. If you're playing regular rules it could mean something else. sorry man.

2008 NBA Champs?nba street

Shaq is mad, when he's mad he's unstopable.



2008 NBA Champs?nba news ,nba teams



NEW JERSEY NETS
The Suns, cause if dey don't do it now, they will not have as good of a chance for a long time. I think they're talented and HUNGRY enough to win one, dey have too.
BOSTON CELTICS or DALLAS MAVERICKS
I hope that it will be the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs, can you say Dynasty? No one is even close Dallas chokes every year, Boston will be riddled with injuries and have no backup , Suns are trading Marion.
I believe it will also be the San Antonio Spurs. If they ever have a chance to win a back-2-back championship and once and for all prove that they ARE a dynasty, that this will have to be the season. Spurs in '08!!!!! The Suns can win it some other year.
dallas mavericks.



they'll come back with a vengeance.



they have talents, experience, and motivation
Headlines: Cleveland NBA Champs 2008



--------------------------------------...



I don't know check the Headlines hmmm......
Whoever it will be...there is a 95% chance it'll be from west.



Likely choices are: mavs, spurs, suns, pistons, celtics, bulls



I would have to say the phoenix suns will win if marion stays.



Hope this helps
suns
LAKERS! Kobe have matured already and he's more into passing than into pissing. Pissing when he scores more than 50 pts.
i hope and know it will be the san antonio spurs!!! mavs choke, suns got no defense, celtics have a new lineup and will take a few years to have good team chemistry, same with denver they made a stupid trade getting iverson coz that made more offense when they needed defense.



dont worry, you will soon see the spurs with gold spurs fans!!!
DA BUUUUUUUULLLLLLLSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freddy is right,



DA BULLS!!!!
Suns!
Two-words: Cleveland Cavaliers! It will be their fate in '08!!
i think the suns will win as long as they dont get rid of marion

Should the NBA set up a minor league system?

Let's face it. College basketball is little more than a minor league system that the NBA doesn't have to pay for. MLB and NHL have minor leagues which successfully train players for the pros. Should the NBA set up a minor league system rather than use America's universities to do it?



Should the NBA set up a minor league system?nba game





They already have one its called the NBDL



http://www.nba.com/dleague/



Should the NBA set up a minor league system?lebron james ,nba teams



They do, its called the Contintental Basketall Association. Although it might not be officially an NBA minor leagues, it certainly has served as one.
NBDL
they already have a minor league is NBDL is the national basketball development league it consist of guy that didnt make it as a pro fromcollegeand there scout who want them to play for there minor league and from there if there are good enough the nba draft them for there team, but it is easier to get drafted from college
already do its called the D-leage if u don't believe me that is how dennis green died, he was coaching one of those teams

Can the nba not have 3 teams in texas?

why does the nba have 3 teams in such close areas? i know texas likes their basketball but 3 teams cmon, same with california. expand nba



Can the nba not have 3 teams in texas?basketball





Markets, Money, and rivalries. Dallas/Houston, Dallas/Santone rivalries are interesting and intriuging. Denver and Boulder rivalries are boring. Just a mater of how many big businesses are willing to put up the big bucks and how much money will nba make.



Can the nba not have 3 teams in texas?hockey ,nba teams



In case you haven't noticed, Texas and California are the biggest states in the lower 48. Why shouldn't they have more teams?
yes they should expand...send the lakers to alaska
Whine Whine Whine



This is a big damn state. Maybe El Paso should get one too.
What's your argument for the East Coast?



A lot of teams on the east coast are in close proximity to each other and no one seems to care.



Or is it that you are sick of the fact that the teams from Texas and California make the playoffs on a regular basis.



There are 30 teams in the NBA, where do want them to expand, Idaho or Iowa (don't think you would sell many tickets)
Dude...hello. Texas and California have more big cities and are two of the top three highest populated states in the country. Simma down now! Of course they're going to have more teams than say...Montana or Wyoming.
i agree but Texas and Cali are the biggest so y not give them more the teams or good but the best are the Spurs!!!.....................GO SPURS GO
Dude, I could drive north for 20 hours and still not be out of Texas, it is a very big state. Look at a map man. I live in Rio Grande City, Tx, mapquest it and see from my part of texas to the pan handle border.
Yeah right, Texans like their football, not basketball. I don't get it either, and I live there. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are all in the eastern half of the state too.
Texas is huge and has populated metropolitan areas, and by the way California has 4 teams.

NBA plus/minus stat?

Can anyone find me a site that records players' plus/minus stats? For those of you who don't know what a plus/minus stat is, it's basically where they record how many points a player's team either leads by or trails by while that player is on the court to determine the direct effect that player has on the team's success. They use it in hockey a lot and it's becoming more commonly used in the NBA among analysts. It's still a new concept to some, so finding an updated site that lists players' plus/minus stats is hard. Thanks for any help.

Will the NBA again take heat for its playoff seeding/format?

You've got the Suns vs the Spurs in the second round and they're the 2 and 3 seeds respectively. IMO, this should be the West final (no disrespect to the Warriors and Rockets/Jazz) and the whole controversy about the higher ranked teams playing each other in the second round will come up again.



I don't think the format makes sense in the first place because what would be the point of giving division winners a seed in the top 4 yet allowing the 5th seed, which has a better record, to gain home court? (eg. the Bulls/Heat series)



I think the NBA should follow the same format the NHL has and have the same 8 seeds positioned by record, with the division winners in the top 4, and getting home court in the first round. In the second round, like the NHL, they should reseed according to their records to avoid the 1 vs 4 showdown and therefore the two teams with the best records would only meet in the conference finals.



I think the NBA is just lazy and wants to have its brackets.



Will the NBA again take heat for its playoff seeding/format?nba basketball





I do not know why the NBA cannot get its playoff format correct. They have more than enough examples to look at. The NHL has the same divisional structure as the NBA and always awards the team that played their best during the regular season with home ice and their opponent is the lowest seed team to reach the next round.



This isn't rocket science. Take a math course and figure it out. To me, the current NBA playoff format is the most stupid format I have ever seen which could result in the worst conference finals and NBA finals in History.



Will the NBA again take heat for its playoff seeding/format?college basketball ,nba teams



I think the NBA is lame. If I was 7ft tall and was allowed 5 steps, I'd be a superstar.
Yeah, it didn't quite work this year, but they'll keep tweaking it. We know the NBA likes to experiment, and they've shown that they're not stubborn. If something doesn't work even for just one year, they'll try something else.

Do you want the NBA off one these two networks?

I think its an Insult to have the NBA on ABC/ESPN and TNT as well, Are happy where their at or do you want NBA Coverage on another Network, Me Personally I want the NBA on FOX as well as TNT and TBS, needs to be off of ESPN/ABC.



Do you want the NBA off one these two networks?tickets





I think that it is fine on TNT. However I liked the old days where TNT showed games on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. ESPN would show any other games on Monday, Friday, and Saturday and NBC usually had a double header every Sunday. Sometimes a triple header. My beef with ABC is that they don't broadcast enough regular season games. Sometimes they show one game on Sunday and that just seems silly to me. Not every household has cable or satellite TV for many reasons. Some don't care for it, others can afford it. I think it's wrong to deprive a young fan whose parents may not be able to afford cable from seeing a good amount of games. Lucky for me I've got the Direct TV sports bundle.



Do you want the NBA off one these two networks?nba ,nba teams



love it on TNT. those guys are hilarioussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...
why and who cares?



as long as I can watch it on a channel I have, I don't care who's airing it.



I do prefer TNT broadcasts because Barkley, Kenny and Ernie's hilarious and accurate commentary.
It won't ever be off of ESPN. They dominate all sports coverage. I don't mind it on ABC becuase then I can watch games sometimes.(don't have cable)
I don't think it should be on any channel until they get rid of that idiot David Stern and there is an overhaul.
i want it off the air completely, what a waste. the nba is sinking to be the 5th or 6th highest rated sport in america.
I think that TNTis a great network for basketball. They do a tremendous job with their coverage. As for kicking the NBA of ABC/ESPN, I don't think that should or will happen. The local FSN networks pick up many of the games the big networks don't broadcast, and do a good job covering them. I think if a network such as ABC dropped their coverage it would be bad for the sport. Many people do not receive expanded cable or dish packages and would miss out on many of the games.
I don't mind that its on ABC/ESPN, what's important is that i can watch the game, not what channel the game is on
It's not that simple these networks have contracts with the NBA and unless the ratings fall to below acceptable levels, these networks will carry the NBA until their contract expires. There is another problem TBS just became the home of the NL playoffs this year and all the way through the playoffs starting next year. Not to mention NCAA football as well.

Should the NBA switch to non-guaranteed contracts?

The NFL is great becuase for the most part they can cut players that are no longer competetive and it wont hurt their salary cap. The NBA on the other hand is loaded with these lazy kids who have got a guaranteed contract so they can just mail it in every day without really working hard. They can talk back to their coach and even demand that the coach gets fired, which is easier for an orginization to do. The NBA needs to switch to an NFL format whereas if you suck you get cut. If you don't want to play hard, you get cut (no money). If you want to act like a clown and not listen to the coach Stephon Marburay, you get cut. Simple as that.

Yes Ben Wallace playd at Virginia Union, a small Black College, If you never played organized basketball before your son's chances of making it to the NBA is less than .01%.

You have to be 19
and one year ofcollegei believe, but your chances of being drafted are slim to none, even if you did get a workout with a team.
It'll never happen. Best bet is to try to get into a developmental league and hope to catch the eye of someone important there.

Ben played for the European league
You have to be 19 and at least one year removed from high school. Ben Wallace played for Virginia Union. You may submit your name into the NBA Draft even if you never played for a team and if you are good. You have to fill out a form and send them into the NBA League office. Most NBA pre-draft camps are by invitation only so it would be up to you to get a tryout for a team, either finding an agent or contacting a team requesting a tryout but most teams dont waste their time with people they never heard of. It is a long journey so you have to perservere and use every resource possible.
Ben Wallace went to Virginia Union, look it up and do some research before you post. And no you will not make it, and no not everyone can sign up for the draft, requirements have to have one year incollegebefore you enter the league (if you are from America) Europe rules I am not to sure of. And if you never played on a team than there is no point because in the end you are not really that good if you haven't even made a team. And if it is because you didn't tryout, teams will look at you and say you are not committed because you don't know what it takes, and what you have to sacrifice to be a part of a team. Plus you probably suck!
I believe the person would need some kind of agent to sign up for the NBA draft. They can sign up, but that doesn't mean they'll be drafted, or even noticed for that matter. ...and all that money spent on the agent just to sign them up will go to waste.



As far as requirements go, the only requirement for entering was that you needed to be 18 to enter. However, things changed last year when the NBA required players to have graduated high school and wait 1 year after their high school graduation to enter.



I don't know if Ben played in college, but I believe he wasn't picked in the draft. Wallace was picked up as a free agent during one of the summer leagues.



NBA teams hold summer leagues annually, as well as training camps. Getting into the NBA requires a LOT more than being a great player. Being in the NBA, evencollegelevel requires studying playbooks and literally memorizing hundreds of plays. It also requires teamwork, court awareness, etc etc. (while being VERY tired) Just being able to take on someone 1v1 in streetball won't cut it.



However, if someone was feeling really serious about it, I'd suggest hiring an agent first thing, then have them contact a team's GM or assistant GM about attending a team's training camp in the summer. Probably what'll happen is they'll have some kind of pre-training camp thing, just to filter out the guys to make it to the camp. After that, I think they usually select a few people from the camp to participate in the summer league. If they stand out in the summer league and they're liked, they'd have a CHANCE at get signed in for the NBA's minimum wage (about 250k or 500k per season).
Yes, you can sign up for an NBA draft but it doesn't mean you'll get drafted. First off, you need an agent or you can represent yourself but if you're an unknown project then it's better to get an agent. If you never played high school orcollegeball, it'll be very hard to get NBA team's attention. You'll need your agent to contact the teams individual and let them know you wish to schedule a private work out with them. You can also sign up for the Combine, which is a camp where they test your speed, strength, athletic abilities, shooting range, and even basketball skills. How you fare during these 2 tryouts will determine whether you get drafted or not. Ben Wallace did play somecollegeball but at a relatively unknown junior college. Here is a little background on his origins.



"As a high school player, Wallace achieved all-state honors in track, football, and baseball. He first playedcollegebasketball on the juniorcollegelevel at Cuyahoga Community College for two years. He then transferred to Virginia Union, a Division II school, where he studied criminal justice. As an undrafted player, he was signed as a rookie free agent by the Washington Bullets on October 2, 1996 after playing in Italy."



So just like job hunting, if you want an NBA team to take a chance on you, you need some kind of credential, either high school orcollegeresume. You're really going to have to WoW them with your workout and prove to them without a doubt, you are the diamond in the rough in this draft. The bottom line argument is why should they waste a precious draft pick on you vs. the rest of the kids in the country. It's a competitive sport and only the most athletically gifted and talented players make it out of the woods.

nike would win because they have the most and they have the best post players. Also, if you take the other brands that Nike has (Converse, Jordan, and the Starter brand (the make Shaq's shoes), Nike would win in a landslide.



To least a nike starting five (with some back ups)



PG - Steve Nash/Jason Kidd

Adidas team nba vs nike team nba?www.nba ,nba teams



who are they????
Adidas has some great talent, McGrady, Arenas, Garnett, etc., but Nike would win. Why? Because Nike has too many players signed to them. They could compete using like 3 different all-star lineups. They got Stoudamire, Kidd, Nash, Carter, Dirk,... all of that, not to mention the guy who dropped 81 points last season.
nike would win
Nike NBA team hands down
