Well stated!

Yes Kmart is a jerk..an undersized power forward..good defense..no offense. The players didn't sign him to that contract..the OWNERS did..another poor MANAGEMENT decision

Look..the thing is no business in America..has a GUARANTEE to make a profit. If owners are losing money SELL the franchise to someone who can afford it. These owners have these teams as status symbols..it's like us regular Mo's owning a high end Porsche. It's sickening to think that they would cancel the season..which will still cause them to lose money..and FANS. Players shouldn't have to pay for for poor management decisions. I'm thinking of boycotting the NBA for a few years...

If Bynum has so much VALUE the Lakes might get Howard and Williams or Paul in a threeway...

I'm from Southern Calif. and it's well known Sterling is just a terrible owner. You can look at the players who have gone elsewhere and blew-up. Not to mention the way he treated Elgin Baylor. The Clippers will always be the step child of the Lakers.

What's the big surprise? Basketball purists new there would be issues like this. Team game..remember the 77 Sixers?

My feeling exactly!

QUOTE(#37):


Dirk averages 10.9 rebounds in the playoffs... while bosh 9.0... what do u prefer come playoff time? wich is when ur supposed to step up, dirk does... bosh does not. Point taken...what does he average during the season? I'm sure EVERY NBA team would love to have a one dimensional (NO DEFENSE) jump shooting 7 footer hanging around the perimeter. Didn't Golden State expose that a few years ago?

Nope, they took out dirk by taking the ball out of his hand and double/triple teaming him. Supporting cast never showed up.

Always an excuse..that's why KOBE has rings..and Dirk doesn't. A #1 seed falling to a #8...yeah ok

QUOTE(#21):Another case of reverse racism. It's these kinds of examples that our forefathers such as Lincoln and MLK are shaking in their graves. Sad, really sad... Too many excuses on society when you should be looking yourself in the mirror first... AI had $million of reasons why he should have been succesful but here you go blaming it on the color of his skin... Sad, really sad....

I knew my comment would garner some dispute, but I HAD to reply to this one! LOL My FOREFATHERS? Lincoln? He only issued the declaration because the north was LOSING the war and they needed something good and right to believe in. MLK? If you're referring to Dr. King(My uncle is in the picture with him on his march on Washington) I commend his platform, but growing up pre civil rights, I was a advocate of Malcolm X. AI was always treated differently due to the cornrows..the tats etc. Please tell me how minorities in America haven't been exploited..Native Americans, Blacks, Chinese, Japanese(during WWII) I'm sure AI isn't broke...this isn't about $$$$$ it''s about being given an opportunity to apply his craft. Ok how many former MVP's were forced to play abroad: ZERO I'm a Laker fan..i've admired AI from where he came from to GET to the NBA..socio-political comments are welcome..LOL I'm juz saying....

If figures..the Baby..needs babysitters...the term "manchild" is in full affect with Lebron

Dirk I think the Heat needed a big man that could REBOUND duh..LOL

It's really sad seeing AI treated this way. Yeah he's had "prima donna" issues, but sshould be given a chance to continue playing in the NBA. He did alot for the league and made people money..I agree with the gentleman above..HE IS BEING BLACKBALLED..another example of putting a ghetto brother in is place...SAD
