If they do, it will be hard for them to succeed. The NBA is different from other pro leagues in other countries. The game is different, just like the differences between the NBA and College Basketball. Some of the best College Basketball coaches were utter failures in the NBA and vice versa. Any foriegn coach with little to no NBA experience as a player or coach, will be a trial by fire. You have to give a coach at least 3 years to find out if a coach can win or not. It's tough for anyone to win with a team they didn't put together. Bill Parcells said it best "They want you to cook the dinner at least they should let you shop for the groceries".

There are a lot of foreign pro basketball players who are the best in their league, but couldn't make the transition to the NBA.

If you don't give a foreign coach a fair chance to succeed by making sure he/she/it has enough experience to succeed and give the players a fair chance to succeed by making sure a coach can do the job, you could be doing more harm than good for any foreign coaches to come to the NBA.

Start bringing in foreign coaches as assistant coaches, so there will at least a pool of coaches to pick from. If the 1st foreign coach fails horribly, it will a while before another foreign coach will be given a shot at being a NBA head coach.

In every neighborhood there is that group of old ladies that they have the solutions to everyone else's problems, what everyone is doing wrong, and what they need to do and are not shy about sharing their unsolicited opinions...McNabb is that little old lady in the NFL's neighborhood.

Tebow hasn't given up on NFL hopes, but the NFL has given up on Tebow hopes

A player's contribution to a team isn't always on the field. Allen is huge in the community in the Twin Cities. From his work for "Wounded Warriors" Project to his Night Golfing events to his work with children's charities. If you ever get a chance to talk to him, between his size and his over the top personality, he seems a better fit in the WWE instead of the NFL. He's about having fun as much as possible as often as you can.

When the time does come when he leaves MN, he has already said he won't stop doing the charity work here just because he leaves the Vikings. He might come off as a "meathead", but he's more than that.

You hear the cliche from players all the time that they will do what's best for the team.

There are times when the players aren't playing well and the best thing they could do for the team is to quit playing or go and play for a division rival, but no one ever does

He should try a few new things with the mullet to change it up a bit and have his hair become newsworthy ala Dennis Rodman.

1. Dreadlock the back
2. Do his impression of white college chicks from small towns on spring break and get braids and beads and/or corn rows.
3. Jheri curls
4. Instead of the comb-over, go with the comb-forward
5. Krusty the Clown hair?
6. Charlie Brown hair?
7. "Afro puff" the back?
8. Dennis Rodman Hair Retrospective - each week sport a new 'do that Rodman had in the NBA
9. Princess Leia "buns"?
10. Andre Agassi circa 1991?

I have a sibling who puts money before blood. He has repeatedly been pestering our mom about getting his inheritence early before our mom passes away. After our mom passes, there is going to be a nice inheritence for all of us...except for one.

Our selfish brother asked our mom for the inhertience early. She then promptly donated 20% of his inheritence to the DNC in his name (He is a staunch Republican). Then next time he asked about his inheritence, she donated another 20% in his name to a group that supports gay marriage (he is as anti-gay as they come). My mom said that if he asks again about his inheritence, she will donate the remainder of his inheritience to PETA in his name (He hates PETA).

You can only imagine what it's like for person who comes into money, to have their family and friends feel they are owed money by that person. One of the benefits of making a lot of money in a short amount of time is you know who your true friends are...they are the ones that don't ask for money and when they are offered it, they turn it down.

"Y'all think I'm joking? They rolled right up on me and I hadn't been there for more than 2 minutes, tops"

We do think you're joking because we would expect the CIA to "roll up" on an unknown person who appears to be doing surveillance on CIA HQ in less then 2 minutes.

This is like walking into a store, acting suspicious on purpose, and then complain when the staff talks to you because they thought you were acting suspicious.

Not Letting a pro franchise team leave town is always cheaper than getting awarded an expansion team, or moving in another team later on.

The Mall of America was the reason the MN North Stars left town. THe Owners of the North Stars said they needed a new arena to remain profitable, but the owners of the Met Center where the Stars played sold the land to the developers of MoA, and MN didn't have enough time to get a new arena like the team owners wanted, and had no choice but to let them leave.

By the time it was said and done, The MN Wild cost 3 times as much to buy an expansion franchise and build the same new arena the North Stars said they needed to stay. The State didn't want to spend the money in the early 90's to build a new arena, but by the late 90's, the state was more than willing to spend whatever it took to get the NHL back in MN.

This is what Seattle is going thru now. They didn't want to spend the money for a new stadium at the time, but look at the amount of money they are willing to spend now to get the NBA back in Seattle.

It's the owners who vote to allow the sale of a team, not Stern. It's their way of making sure that the boat isn't rocked by an owner who puts the players and fans first and money last. They don't even need to give you a reason for the veto of the sale. The background checks on any potential owners is absuditily deep. An owner's group for another sport was turned down because of one of the ex-wives of one of the partners was questionable.

What would Al do?

If it's make sense, easy and will bring the desired results, then the Raiders want nothing to do with it.

No matter how bad it gets for any other team, they can put a smile on their face and think to themselves "at least we're not the Raiders"

When Geno cuts himself shaving, it's not his fault, it's the mirror's, shaver's and shaving cream's fault

If he walks into a door, it's the door's fault

With Kahn gone, that's at least an extra 5 more wins this coming season.

With Flip Saunders back as New GM, they should get back to winning soon.

Glen Taylor needs to sell the team. The best decision he made as a team owner is when he fired McHale. The worst decision he made was hiring McHale in the first place.

Then he hired Kahn. I didn't think it was possible, but Kahn makes you wish you had McHale back.

Former NBA Player.
Been Coaching at the college level or higher since 1977.
1 of only 8 NBA coaches with 1000 wins.
1002-707 record as a NBA Head Coach.
Any head coach is heavily involved with player evaluation for each year's draft.
As a head coach, his time is limited on how much he can spend time scouting and evaluating talent, that's why every team has scouts on their payroll.
You don't get to his level of experience without knowing the duties of the GM and being able to do the job.
No GM locks the Head coach out of player decisions, so he has experience doing aspects of the GM job.
No GM is an island, that's why they surround themselves with people who have strengths and experience that the GM lacks...unless your Kahn that is.

Kahn's experience in Pro sports is he was a sportswriter, worked on the business side of things for the Pacers, and he was a lawyer at the firm that represents the major Pro Sports leagues. When the most experience you have running a pro sports team is from a video game that let's you play the GM role, it's hard to find someone who is less qualified...you would have to really look hard to find someone less qualified that Kahn.

I think they are referring to longtime Adelman assistant coach Elston Turner.

So he's saying that "thinking" requires so much of him, that he can't think and do anything else at the same time?

What are the chances that he has a sign next to his toilet that says "Don't forget to Wipe", and what are the chances there is another sign under that one that says "Your butt, not your nose"?

I have paid for my Orthpedists 5 children's college out of how many times I have been in his office over the last 25 years. I have played in games where arms, legs and noses have been broken mere feet from me. I have no fear of blood or bodily harm, but after breaking my ankle and the replay of the injury, watching replays of other's leg injuries including simple "rolled ankles" make me cringe and leave the room like a 5 year old girl who is watching Jaws for the first time. I heard about this and I and everytime it was talked about on TV, I had to change the channel.

I hopes it's not's not as bad as I heard it was.
