Makes no difference. People take offense to it whether you are white or black.

Not playing JJ because of his Defense is BS.

Who plays Defense anymore?

ask All Star Antawn Jamison.

There's No "D" in Jamison.

PUT HIM IN ! ! !

I don't think he's depressed at all. Doesn't look depressed in warmups. I think all this is completely calculated by he and his agent to try to force the Magic to play or trade him. Giving all these media interviews talking about how his life is so unfair, reports coming out from some national media taking pot shots at the Magic as an organization. But on the other hand, the Magic have lost two games in a row at home....it might work out. And if it doesn't, what could it hurt if they played J.J. big minutes, it doesn't work out and they lose a few more, right? Home wins aren't a big deal, right?

When in doubt, go back to the place that worships you.

you need to read the whole article. if you did you could clearly say he makes it clear that he is not trying to complain its just bball is suck a huge part of his life hes doing everything imaginable to get in it, and its not working. imagine if that were you with something you loved so much and worked so hard and the results were their but you still dont get it. its tough, i think all of us can think of something in our lives that's similar. He has also stated in previous articles that it was never his intent for this to get publicized but because there are so many press conferences with otis and stan it leaks. hes not crying or being a bitch hes working his butt off to get in position.

Couldn't have said it better. Anyone who has played a sport at a HIGH level (i.e. college or better; don't give me that high school crap, who gives a crap about high school sports, they mean nothing) knows how badly it sucks to not get to play. You spend years and years practicing and playing, hour upon hour running and in the weight room, and you get really, really good. And then suddenly you practice but don't play. You work hard, but don't play. You don't even really get a shot to show what you can do; you just don't play? That would suck (never happened to me; I always started, and was captain my senior year D1, but I can imagine it sucks) especially for a guy who is so used to being The Man.

That wierd vocal minority on the internet that loves ragging on a guy is really annoying, especially when that guy has just said "This sucks. Wish I could play, or they would send me someplace I could play."

Until Dooling or Bogans is shipped, these dark days will continue.
