bet you can't guess who i nominate... still my favorite player of all time. that was some serious emotional turmoil for my young self with the knee injury and then being traded to the Suns.

Barkley?

Kidd?

[ke1]

Both too prolific

brandon roy should also be nominated.

As a blazers fan: if Brandon Roy needs to take two months off every now and then just to come back looking like his old self ... Well I'm ok with that.

He torched the Mavs last night... Aldridge had bigger numbers but Roy shut the game down.

^ looking at the stats and I can't figure out how the hell Dallas lost that game.

DAL - POR

59.7 - 47.1 FG%

33 - 34 Reb

30 - 19 Ast

9 - 6 treys

17 - 15 PF

see: total fg attempts, offensive boards and turnovers

(also see: the mercy of jason terry.)

^true true

man...if Portland stays the sixth seed, that 3 seed will be FTMLoss.

[alimenator]

Sad for Dallas..... and Portland doesn't seem like it can pass Denver for 5th

better quality for a free download/stream to the fab 5

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

Just finished the fab five doc, the lack of cwebb definitely hurt it and turned jalen into the only dominant voice... Wish they'd gone more in depth with juwan and his young herpes spreading days...

And the grant hill thing is overblown, even though grants response was great. Obviously jalen wasn't talking about how he currently felt... I thought that was pretty clear.

check out harden's recent numbers. and if nate comes back unaffected from injury, OKC has a pretty solid chance of coming out of the west. definitely not a lock- the field is too loaded, but ill pick em to upset any team not named the lakers.

in summary - ibaka can shoot the J, sefo can guard anyone, perkins means they don't have to double-team anyone, they have the ability to match up v anyone, they have TWO stars (at the lakers' weakest position as well) and if robinson comes back, their bench is deep.

Anyone watching ESPN right now notice the Andy Whall Jeans hanging behind Curry?

OKC vs. CHI would be both awesome and funny as hell. A big FU to the NBA "bourgeoisie"

[ilovefriedchicken]

lol cwebb wants nothing to do with the fab5

timeout choke and benefits scandal...

I don't know.... looks like like alot of shuffling with his pivot?..... but vintage wade highlight

[hamham3001]

a good 4 step.. nice finish tho

[lintmunro]

Wade travels with the hopstep consistently but they nerve call it. In that case, I'm fine with it, but I'm pretty sure you can only do it if you land on both feet, which he never does.

[ke1]

Nah..you guys don't understand, it's called a crab-dribble.

I'm pretty sure if it is LeBron or Wade.. it will not get called.

If an average player did the same dribble they go.. TRAVELING

[lintmunro]

I've seen Lebron do plenty of proper hopsteps though. The infamous crab dribble against Washington? That was a travel. This play against the Celtics? According to the rule book, it's 100% legal.

When ending his dribble a player may use a two count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting ... If a player jumps off one foot on the count of one he may land with both feet simultaneously for count two. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leave the floor the ball must be released before either return to the floor.

although doc got it wrong in the gif below, everyone was thinking/trying to figure what just happened...

[DaBestSpoona]

from looking at that doc gif, I think Thibodeau is taking Propecia now.

[ilovefriedchicken]

who travels more wade or lebron?

does duncan deserve a place in this conversation?

[chantheman]

jerseys need to go back to the nicknames
