JJs Workouts at Duke

[mhectorgato]

IMO any player would prefer the NBA over playing in Europe or the Developmental League.

And saying that does not make me any less a Magic fan. And if Redick were to leave the Magic I would still be a Magic fan sorry if that makes some so called fans upset.

You do know what that (IMO) stands for, right?

you didnt state the obvious...you stated an opinion...learn the difference...

exactly...

also, I dont support the JJ fan not Magic fan claim...

at this time at least...

So stating the obvious that someone would prefer playing in the NBA then playing overseas makes a person not a Magic fan wow that's really funny.
There is a place for you it's called the Yahoo forums where you can post to your hearts content and no one will ever notice you there since almost no one posts there. See found the perfect site for you.

lol

Tell that to Fran Vazquez, if he ever actually sets foot on U.S soil.

The NBA is without a doubt still the biggest stage for basketball for the majority of players and fans. But don't be fooled into thinking that it is the be-all and end-all of basketball.

You would, no doubt, agree that the majority of players get into the game of basketball to play the game? If I were a pro-baller, and was given the choice between sitting at the end of an NBA bench, or playing 20mpg for a team in Italy, Spain, Russia, or Greece (or any other country with a respectable pro league) then you could bet every last dollar of your pay cheque that I would be on a plane out of the U.S, and I am sure that a lot of others would be, also.

Good post. When it comes down to it, a baller just wants to ball, period. Of course any baller's dream would be to play in the NBA. That's a no-brainer, but if you aren't getting any looks here, you gotta do whats best for you and your family. You want to play, you don't want to ride the pine. You also need to make a living, and securing a future in a career to play professionally is a very hard thing to do. I'm sure Thief can attest to that. Good for him that the brother played ball, and that he had a chance to play professionally. He also got to do what I got a chance to do in the military, he got to see the world. He went overseas and played ball in a different country, travel and see countries he may never get to see again in his lifetime. That's cool.

Let me tell you, every kid who has hoops dreams dreams of being a Mike, or Lebron, or a Wade. They dream of making the big shot, or the big play, winning the game at the end. If you have the skills and you can get paid to play a game you love, why knock a guy because he played overseas. At least he got to play. PLAY. JJ isn't even doing that now. It's not a knock, but man, he should be cracking the starting line up, but coach has him on the pine. There has to be a reason for it. I still want to see the kid suit up and stroke his shot here, I want to see him play, but with the acquisitions made recently, I just don't see mgt keeping JJ.

And please don't compare the the leagues over there to the D league here, there's no comparison. Those guys embarrassed us during the games, so the U.S. team better be bringing it or we'll get embarrassed again.

In the immortal words of Rodney King, can't we all just get along?

Geez... Why does anyone even listen to cougar anymore, it's like it empowers her.

I like JJ, but like the rest think at this point he's not the man he and Cougar thinks he is... IDK maybe we, and 2 NBA coaches are all wrong and if so cool. I'd like to see him shine! No one can argue the stroke he's got... But between his whining and Cougar's constant attacks on anything she PERCIEVES as a sleight against JJ the two of them should team up to do a Massengill comercial or something...

I mean I know it's slow around here, and there doesn't seem to be any news in sight... But attacking a MOD, especially one that is a Magic fan who can, and is willing to answer alot of our questions and willing to share his experiences is just plain douchebaggery IMO... As far as who should go to the Yahoo forums I'm sure everyone here with the exception of 1 maybe 2 people would; if forced to a vote send Cougar to the deserted island (a.k.a. yahoo) before Thief. To coin a phrase... In the words of Richboy, "I could be wrong, but I doubt it".

Didn't attack anyone just stated my opinion, but I guess you and some others feel that is not allowed since it does not agree with your mind set. Get a life, because I am not going to change..
And now that part about Redick whining the only time he asked for a trade was this past season the other remarks that were said to be his turned out to be Brian Schmitz. Once does not count as whining though I could say your many posts about this could be counted as whining.

BTW you sound like you would really like the Magic board at Yahoo it's just up your alley they do love to tell people where to put it. Though right now the O-Zone might be up your alley they haven't posted anything that is close to the truth in a while, perfect place for you to post about this rumor or that and said they are nothing but the truth.

[TheRevTy]

Cougar, an attack constitutes belittling someone in any way. For example, tossing in "Get a life, I'm not going to change" is an attack. Saying "You're just jealous because JJ can play in the NBA and you couldn't" is an attack. Just for what it is worth.

And as a side note, is it really an insult to say "You should go to this other board, LOLZ!!!11!!"?

Man, I need to get away from the internet for a while. This is getting ridiculous.

[theTHIEF]

I thought your post about me was fact, now it's opinion? i'm so confused...

[sChOlaRlY_Magi]

Whatever Cougar... Whatever...
Just keep running your mouth and show how foolish you are with every word. It matters not to me.

WOW it worked now we are on the same level.
