Do you guys plan on watching Rockets games? I mean, at least the nationally televised ones? My strongest candidate to recruit alongside of Dwight was Harden had Dwight stayed in Orlando. I kinda want to see how well it will turn out.

In the history of Orlando Magic basketball players, who would you take (one person in their physical prime) with you in a street brawl/bar-fight and who could take the rest of the guys on this list?:

1. Shaquille O'neal
2. Ben Wallace
3. Corey Maggette
4. Shawn Kemp
5. Horace Grant
6. Matt Barnes
7. Marcin Gortat
8. Dwight Howard

My personal choice is Ben Wallace or Matt Barnes. Barnes honestly reminds me of the type of guys that will do anything when their back is against the wall. Ben Wallace could probably throw some people around.


Totally. I would get into any fist fight with Barnes on my side and take on anybody.

Dwight wouldn't be anywhere near my list. I think I'd even take Hedo instead of him. Dwight is too much of a bitch. He'd just run.

So bored, basically no real juicy magic news, stumbled across a funny video. Now based on what you personally think is funny then this vid will either make you laugh or possibly offend you. the vid has strong language btw but if you can handle the language in GTA 5 then you'll be alright with this lol....personally i found this hilarious especially the Dwight part

Personally I'd probably go with Gortat. His Dad was an olympic medalist in boxing and I know he does box too for training and stuff, so I bet he could land some good hits.


Good point. And1!

I'll watch a few but more for the Lin Howard combo than anything else. He intrigues me being so young and I'd like to see if he can bounce back.

I also am intrigued to see if Dwight will play some PF and how full time olajawon will help him.

If they happen to play another good team I'll watch, but I won't follow the Rockets whatsoever. Besides, I'm sure we will have more than enough Rockets chatter online.

He doesn't even have to play or be a part of the team. Just pay him to stay at home until he accepts a buyout for a lesser amount! You can't have your pizza and eat it too!

You're taking trolling to a new level on this subject :)

Well, Kemp and Howard would be too busy in the bar trying to get laid, so they're both out.
Horace Grant, while an enforcer on the court, isn't the guy to have with you in a bar fight.
Magnetite may be a pretend thug, but he's not brawler material either.
Barnes personally always struck me as a guy who was ready to start so,etching only so long as there was someone around to hold him back.
What about Gilbert Arenas? At least I know he'd come packing.
I guess I'd want either Wallace or Shaq. Course Shaq would be busy posing for the cameras.

Based on that, I think it has to be Wallace.

in a club ... +1 for Wallace

In war... Possibly Milicic (some ex-yugoslavians are cold blooded assasins)

Although if I could really choose, I'd choose no fight, I'm a pacifist (in principle)

Isn't Darko Serbian? Also, if we're talking war, I think Hedo is in the Turkish army (please correct me if I'm wrong) or something, so he has military experience.

Love this question.

Matt Barnes and Ben Wallace are at the top of my list. They both just seem like they could brawl. I hadn't thought of Gortat, but since someone mentioned the boxing, it makes sense. Shaq would have awesome intimidation power, and if he landed a punch, I'm sure he could knock a dude out.

The biggest dark horse on that list is Dwight. He's such a pussy that he probably wouldn't fight to begin with, but let's not forget he's got the most dangerous elbows in the league.

Oh, and QRich gets an honorable mention.

I read Bensational's post and added Greg Kite as an honorable mention...and then saw your post. LOL.

Pound for pound I would go with DA or Gritty Gutty Scotty Skiles. The thing about Skiles is there would be no chance of avoiding the fight. Da would obviously never quit. Since size would be at a premium in a bar fight I'll go with Neon Boudeaux.
