man is the reigning MVP, should be this season's MVP and he gets picks what, 4th on Lebron's team? :lol:


I played enough pickup games growing up to know what being picked first means. All of this "strategic" bullcrap is exactly that.

When the PLAYERS decide who the first guy is who they want on their team, it means a helluva lot more than some jabroni self-selected poll on an internet site.

And Chuck totally fed off of it, "he is now, he was traded"

Fun to see LeBron cracking up with Chuck and just being light with it.

This is the most chill I think we've ever seen LeBron.

Calling Greece a Balkan state is a bit of a stretch. Culturally it certainly is. And Greeks would laugh at you if you said as much.


Yeah, same goes for Slovenes, Croats and even the northern part of Serbia - Vojvodina They all want to be left out of the Balkans.

How they want out of the Balkan when they geographically belongs there :-? Balkan is not the country, its the region of the European continent with the bunch of countries, state, whatever . You have mentioned Vojvodina , which is the province of Serbia , maybe your wish is for them to break up from Serbia which will not happen, since Serbs are the great majority there. If you are Hungarian or the Croat I understand your sentiment but it wont happen :wink:

Like all of us who love Nuggets know that Nikola will be perfectly happy if he goes like 10+5+7 and his team wins. He's not gonna put 20 shots like others'll do. But this?


There are players well suited to the All-Star game format and others who, well, aren't. Jokic has - in this three All-Star appearances - fallen into the latter category.

Every player who was picked ahead of Jokic is more likely to have a big game in an All-Star game format. It would be inane to pick Jokic early given the disinterest he has shown in the other All-Star games he has played in.
