Happy 45th Birthday Spree!


Angriest dunker in the past 20+ years? lol his tomahawks were so nasty.

It's between him and Kenyon. Especially New Jersey Kenyon..



God I miss them both.

This is one of the reasons I love Russell so much. He's got a lot of that raw passion, rage and fire that both of those guys did.

exactly how it should be.

That probably effects the west more than the east, at least it would have last season.

This article says he has no house, no family, and down to his last $50,000. Very sad if this is true.

For some reason Sprewell reminds me of the basketball version of Wesley Snipes. Cool as **** when he was in his game but...damn...what happened?

By necessity that means theoretically (though not practically) a division winner isn't even guaranteed a play-off spot, correct?

I think the next move should be to eliminate the conceit of divisions at all.

What's the point of playing teams in your division more than teams in your conference other than regional convenience? Doesn't it now more than ever present an unfair postseason seeding advantage to teams from weak divisions?

Ohh right Kenyon was nasty with the power dunks.

It's funny you say Westbrook, but there was something on Bleacher report last year & they had comparisons for all the stars. Westbrooks was Spree. I was hyped.

The only thing is that Westbrook is such a lunatic lol. Spree was always so composed. He just hated the rim. Spree's swag was insane. I know he had some issues. But he was such a favorite of mine.

People have to accept responsibility. Playing games, clubbing, drugging, scoring too many girls to remember who they are, they aren't really a good plan. Spree had some emotional difficulties, and I'm sorry they were worse than we knew.

I cant speak for Spree and I make no excuses for him. But oftentimes people who come from poor backgrounds never learned the value of money. So 1 million to them might as well be 1 billion. It's a shame really.

Sadly, you're right.

Next to KG, he's my 2nd all time fav player.

So many great memories of Spree. So much damn swag too. Hope he's doing okay.

One of the more memorable dunks in NYK history - can't get the link to show as a video. It's his dunk on the Spurs that had the Garden rockin

Come back, Gallo!

[dakomish23]

Luis Scola gave Canada the business. Takingthe out of NBA games with a grain of salt

[And100]

Come back, Gallo!

Personally, I'd set my sights higher on a better player like Durant, Curry or Davis, but that's just me.

[RHODEY]

I'm gonna keep my eye on Gallo, he's showing signs of a possible break out year.

[Dr. Detfink]

It's all about talent per dollar value.

Sadly, as much as I want Danilo Gallinari back with the Knicks...his contract is a bit much $14M-16M per season over the next 3 years. When you start talking about adding salary over $15M per season on a guy who has had a lot of injuries over his career, the risk is too great.

[DaGawd]

Talent was never really I'm question for Gallo. His health on the other hand...

Hmm... That'll show them not to cave into his salary demands. Another high character guy to go with JR and Shump. Surprised we didn't try to sign him before Phil came on board.
