I think it's obvious that Lance was more than likely the instigator. The sad part is that someone is gonna play that clown big dollars.

ET is a clown. Lance is an ass clown. IND has $65.7 mm in committed salary next year without ET and Lance contracts. They better pull it together this year. Good chance they have less talent on that team next year. The east continues to get weaker at "the top."

Evan may be a clown but he never struck me as a guy to fight teammates (whine at them but never fight)..so that shows you how much of a lame Lance is.

This is the same dude that threw his girl down a flight of steps after all.

Stephenson just reminds me of Ron Artest. Will never mature into a professional athlete nor give up that ghetto mentality. I actually smirked when he got snubbed from the All-Star game. Clown doesn't deserve the honor.

I hope Stephenson signs with the Knicks this summer!

MKG should drop kick his foul shots...WTH is he doing?? That is absolutely pathetic...

Kobblehead · Post #1029 » by **Kobblehead** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 1:05 am

MKG with a nice little showing tonight offensively.

Kemba Walker is hurting Charlotte right now. Awful on both ends tonight.

Dallas is a good team built around Dirk and a lot of guys that have been rejected in other places. I'd like to see them have success but that's going to be tough against a team like the spurs. Heard Cuban say we (teams that were tanking) were 3 years away from being 3 years away.

I think Dallas is going to beat the Spurs. It looks like all that energy the Spurs used to build up that winning streak caught up with them overnight. Dallas is first to every rebound, every loose ball, quicker first step, and seem to want it more. The Spurs are lucky this is going to be 1-1. They needed a miracle to win game 1.

And our own coach, Brett Brown, has said numerous times this is up to a 5 year plan.

Ron Artest never giving up his "ghetto mentality"? I don't even know what that means, but dude thanked his therapist in his post-championship press conference. Yeah, he is sooooooo ghetto.

PhilasFinest · Post #1035 » by **PhilasFinest** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 3:42 am

Artest isnt ghetto....hes clinically insane.

Kobblehead · Post #1036 » by **Kobblehead** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 3:54 am

Ron Artest is plenty ghetto. Aside from the countless incidents of thuggish behavior he displayed (mostly early in his career), he happens to have been born and raised in the Queensbridge Projects. One of the most violent and infamous projects in the US.

Artest would tell you he is ghetto. He's very proud of where he is from. In fact if you google it you can find times Artest has called himself ghetto.

I'm not sure what that has to do with Stephenson though. I guess he's from a rough neighborhood but so is half the NBA. Sure he plays selfishly sometimes but so what he's a 23 year old 2 guard whose coach asks him to handle the ball for a 50+ win team, it's not going to be perfect.

Get a clue, bro. Artest refers to himself as ghetto. Even referenced in Phil Jackson's book.

Exactly. Being proud of where you come from is one thing, though, and not maturing when you're a professional athlete is another. Obviously a good portion of pro athletes who come from rough backgrounds simply will never adapt because they weren't brought up well, but I've never respected Artest because he was always all talk about maturing and changing his image, but still reverted back to his old self (changing his name to Metta World Peace and then elbowing Harden in the head was the icing on the cake).

My comparison with Stephenson was that he has a bad history and acts like a jackass on the court. Like Artest, I doubt he will change. A lot of players grew up in rough neighborhoods, but you can kind of tell from a guy's personality and antics, like Stephenson, that he isn't changing for anybody.

Oh come on. Stephenson has never even been suspended. They're completely different cases.

Yeah he's a pest. So is Turner for that matter. How many times did Turner act like a dick to another team's star player? I'm actually shocked the two of them took so long to get under each others skin.
