Re: Off Topic VI
Good vibes to LP
--------------------------------
So apparently tonight at the community rec center I was asked if I played for the Spurs (was wearing a David Robinson jersey), told by an opponent I'm "like Kobe" (maybe his sneaky way of saying I'm old) and consistently hitting shots from 15-18' anoints me the title of Nowitzki.
This community is a basketball talent desert if I'm getting these kind of accolades. :|

I'm pretty sure I broke this big kid's glasses when I faked him into me on an up and under. I feel bad about that, he was the one that said I was like Kobe.

Re: Off Topic VI
In the 7th game of my season, Noah Vonleh scored 10 points on 5-6 shooting @LAL (NBA2k15).
Vonleh moves really well without the ball and is a great finisher (including dunks and short-range jumpers).
Vonleh played the entire 3rd quarter, but I didn't play him in the 4th quarter (his defense and rebounding wasn't as impressive, and offensively I go to Jefferson and MJ mainly in 4th quarter anyway).
Hornets 97 (Jordan 41, Jefferson 24, Vonleh 10)
Lakers 94 (Bryant 22, Lin 16, Young 13)

Re: Off Topic VI
random event of the day - Roger Brown's son contacted me since I have some footage of his dad playing in the ABA on my YouTube channel. I can't imagine what his reaction will be like when he finds out that I'm from Latvia.

Hate to hear the news on Randle breaking his leg. Good young talent and that is a pretty bad break.

for me to send him one of the Indiana games I have from ABA. offered me the copy of the documentary on his dad as a gift, which was nice.

I think it's a foregone conclusion on this board. Probably be an international scout before most people here will have finished college.

I knew what you meant, but it was funnier to imagine you saying underrate and going all Ron Burgundy on us.

Remember being in attendance at the game with the Baron Davis dunk. I believe it was when they played Miami in the first round back in 01. He caught Hardaway backpeddling on a fast break and dunked on him two handed while introducing his nut sack to Hardaway's face

B. Diddy with all due respect to Kemba was probably the most talented PG in Hornets history. Never really hit his prime til in NO/GS years

Re: Off Topic VI
Ok, something for the new Hornets suggestion box:
I was disappointed last night that theyve truncated the beginning off the old buzz sound effect they would play when the team was rallying, heard here at 1:09:54
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFBcgJtDpOs[/youtube]
That sound was distinctly Hornets and needs to be reincorporated.
