Anybody else get obsessed with playing basketball at an older age (say early 20s)? Used to always just post up with a limited skill-set and play hustle basketball but now I'm suddenly shooting pull-ups, step backs, crossover followed by a drive and then a step-back.

early 20s is old now?

yeesh

jet, you've never seen godfather 1 & 2?

[Jetset]

damn thats some serious bad luck. still can't believe my launch Xbox is still going strong.

watching the David Stern AS press conference, a reporter owned his ass about the CP3 veto.

What was said? The gist of the question/answer?

Chris Sheridan:

ORLANDO — Shall we call him “Daffy,” “Donald,” or “Floyd Mayweather?”
Which “duck” moniker is most fitting?

Because NBA commissioner David Stern, asked a fair question tonight by yours truly at his annual All-Star news conference, did the finest bob-and-weave in NBA history while refusing to answer whether squashing the trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers was the right thing to do.

Here is a transcript of the back-and-forth:

Q. It’s been two months now since you vetoed the Chris Paul to the Lakers trade, and it’s given you two months of the benefit of hindsight and two months to look at the impact it’s had on several teams, the Clippers, the Lakers and especially the Hornets. Given the benefit of that hindsight, was that veto, since you’ve never done one before, the right thing to do, and why?

STERN: You’ve been around too long to phrase the question that way. I didn’t veto anything. We are acting on behalf of the owners, as the owners’ rep. New Orleans decided not to make the trade.

Q. Well, whose decision was it to stop the trade?

STERN: No, not to stop. There’s no superstar that gets traded in this league unless the owner says, go ahead with it. And in the case of New Orleans, the representative of the owner said, “That’s not a trade we’re going to make.”

Q. But that representative was you?

STERN: Correct.

Q. So in effect then, you said the trade is not going to go through?

STERN: I said that New Orleans would not make the trade that had been proposed to them.

Q. And was that the right move to make?

COMMISSIONER DAVID STERN: You know, buy a ticket and see. We’ll see how it works out.

Q. I hate to press you on it, and I don’t want to break decorum ‑‑

STERN: No, that’s okay, go ahead.

Q. The Hornets didn’t make out as well in that trade as they would have made out in the earlier trade in terms of talent. The best player they’ve got is injured and the draft pick is the same draft pick.

STERN: I could go toe to toe. It wouldn’t be breaking decorum, it would be taking a lot of people’s time. You’re arguing whether we thought Marc Gasol would be an All‑Star.

Q. I think we’ve always been in agreement on that.

STERN: You knew he was going to be an All‑Star?

Q. Absolutely, sir. I cover a lot of international basketball.

COMMISSIONER DAVID STERN: Okay, I have no further questions for the witness then. Next question.
And that was how the exchange ended.

No clear answer for Lakers fans.

No clear answer for Hornets fans.

Even if he gets it, i'm sure it'll take months before he even watches the DVDs because he's too busy playing another XBox demo after demo. Good luck getting those dvds back by 2024.

That was the nerdiest response ever.

Nice, I never would have believed there was a day where Chris Sheridan would be my hero.

But you laughed at one of my comments earlier.

[Jetset]

And yeah, Stern got abused.

[Sofa King]

Oh he got fired from BSPN and now works for himself. That's why he grew a pair and finally became a good reporter.
