Who is the skinniest guy that ever played in the NBA:

1) Shawn Bradley
2) Michael Cooper
3) Manute Bol
4) Tashaun Prince

Ive just caught up a 86 Lakers Celtics finals and i saw that Michael Cooper was going to disappear…way too skinny.

Peace

Good game. Rusty as shit but that’s what happens when you sit a week waitin to play. Now that the young guys got a taste of the finals and after Phillip makes his adjustments, I expect a smoother game. Props to the Celts for defendin the homecourt so far. Let’s see what’s up for game 2
and I’m cosignin with Kudabeen – Bill Russell has earned respect so anything dude does is unapproachable. If he wants to ramble, best thing to do is to shut your mouth, open up the ears and try to learn something. Dude’s seen some ish and more than paid dues.
Peace

@ YOUNGFED: The torrent for the entire album has been available for a few days, already. And, no, you can’t “here” any of it on the net.

Fact of the matter is, both of these teams are not as polished as they think they are. They are not the Spurs, Detroit, (who obviously have gotten older, slower and are probably done) and especially not the Lakers or Celtics of their previous glory years. So all in all, this series can go to either team. I think the Celtics have an advantage with a better bench and I feel that any game that Ray Allen produces also gives the Celtics an advantage.

And also, people probably disgusted at all the Willis Reed comparisons, but (1) they were inevitable with the eruption of the crowd when he came back and (2) Pierce didn’t make that comparison himself.

@YOUNGFED

What “antics” are you referring to specifically? All he did was fall to the floor in pain, need help taken to the back, then come back when he felt ready…

Simmons on Pierce:

(Tangent: If you’re a Lakers fan, I fully support your right to be cynical about Pierce’s injury and return. If the roles were reversed, and this were Kobe, I would have taken 35 “He was playing the injury up just for the Willis comeback!” potshots at him by now. All I can tell you is this: Pierce has been a warrior for 10 years, he has never been seriously injured, and he’s not the type of player who would just randomly crumple into a heap like that as some sort of strategic ploy. After the game, he said he heard his knee pop, so maybe he was more scared than anything. Only a fool would compare the significance of the moment to Willis Reed, or even Larry Bird’s comeback in the ’91 Indiana series, for that matter. At the same time, the crowd went from “My God, we are completely screwed!” to “My God, we are back in this series!” in the span of 10 minutes. So it WAS a significant moment, whether you like it or not.)

Man, what a game, is Pierce a fu#*’n flopper now?!
What about Odom, that was a pretty quite showing wasn’t it?!
Kobe’s gonna go back to MJ mode on Sunday and everything is gonna be allright.
Go Lakeshow…

P. Dub wasn’t faking. There are plenty of times when you “think” you are more hurt than you actually are.

Sam I Am is just cold. Fisher was guarding dude the best anyone could aside from foulin dude, and dude was still wettin the nets.

I am enjoying the pg play with some cats who dont score a whole lot but actually play D. i have to call rondo and fisher a tie right now,.

i see this series goimg 7. its funny how cats get so hyped over one game lol. Some cats acting like Boston is 1 game away from winning it all. Boston fans should fall back and mainly be glad P wasnt hurt for good. Laker fans shouldnt just throw kobe away and know things will pick up.

i am just hoping for 7 and a dramatic last one.

Hey i was reading in a mag where Fisher and AK think the playoffs should be one and you are done. i am thinking one game for it all in a neutral place …. might be wild
