"What a joke that Kobe Bryant was to start his rookie season. Kid talks so much smack about going to pros. Young snot nosed kid had the audacity to have a press conference????!! Announcing he's going to the pros. What a joke. Im glad he took his ego and his Sonny Crockett sunglasses to LA. Ruin that franchise why dont you. Give me Antoine Walker over that kid anyday. Anybody see that little shimmy he did after making that 3 last night? Sign of things to come baby. A sign of things to come!"

Parish not superstar
3/10/86

>>> ..............Nobody expected Parish and Mchale to be superstars,

>>Does anybody really think that Parish is a superstar ? I for one am
>>never impressed by him.

>Finally somebody else who thinks the way I do, I have never been
>impressed with Parish. Now that we're on this line of thought,

Okay okay. I knew this would happen... I made the original
posting mentioning Parish and Mchale. I KNEW I shouldn't
have used Parish in the same sentence with the predicate
nominative "superstar" because I JUST KNEW SOMEBODY WOULD
PICK UP ON THAT OH GOD I'M SO SORRY LOOK I REALLY DO HAVE
OTHER THINGS TO DO THESE THINGS YOU READ ARE NOT LEGAL
CONTRACTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE HOURS AND HOURS TO REVISE YOU
SEE THE POINT IS THAT THAT...

anyway, no I wouldn't call Parish a "superstar". Mchale
yes I think is a superstar. What I meant, in the context
of the original sentence, was that people expected Mchale
and Parish to be decent players, but not be All-stars, okay?
Parish is an all-star, right? I mean he does go to the
all-star game? okay? I think at the time the celts got him
I expected him to play back-up to Cowens mostly, or let
Cowens play power forward.

Wow, looking at those old posts from the 80s makes me feel like I discovered ancient cavemen writing or something. Or like I'm some super advanced alien looking back in time and seeing humans communicate with inferior technology.

Tons of posts about how Jordan is a D-Bag and not a humble guy like Bird.

Pat Ewing and the Lottery

Tim Larison
8/14/85

I don't think the NBA fixed the lottery so that the Knicks would
get the number one pick. I think word of this would have leaked
out and some teams would have screamed bloody murder. I hope
the NBA has more integrity than to pull a stunt like that.

My complaint is with the whole idea of a draft lottery. As I
understand it, the NBA put in the lottery because the previous
year Houston deliberately tried to lose some games at the end
of the year in order to improve their draft position (and get
a shot at Ralph Sampson). The lottery supposedly would eliminate
this problem because the last seven teams draft position would
be determined solely by chance, not by the team's record.

So what happened? Last season teams like Seattle (in not playing
Jack Sikma) deliberately tailed off
at the end of the year in order to get in the lottery. The problem
of teams sandbagging at the end of the year to improve their
draft position got worse, not better. If you were a general manager
of an NBA team, would you prefer your team to make the last slot
in the playoffs, only to be eliminated quickly by the Lakers or
Celtics, or would you rather have a shot at Patrick Ewing?

I think the NBA should trash the lottery and go back to the old
"worst record picks first" draft order. The Golden States of the
league have enough problems without having to be discriminated
against in the draft, too.



And here we are, almost 30 years later with the same dilemma

Nope, can't side with you this one. Jordan's shooting percentage throughout
his career has been above 50% which as has been discussed at length on the
net is better then all but 2-3 teams in the NBA year in year out. This means
that generally speaking, (yes a gross generalization but just for the sake of
argument) if Michael took 90 shots in a game he'd hit at least 45 of em and
the team would win. (Assuming he hits 80% of the 40 free throws he'd get as
a result)
