im with J Dot in #42. I disagree that these fukkheads with the rifles dont deserve to be called “human” because they tryna kill somebody, as ranger john alleges. you watch the news recently? it seems like the human race dont do nothin BUT kill each other. thats what we do best. thats our pleasuurrre. sad but true. are our boys flying planes dropping bombs in iraq undeserving to be called “human” as well?

as for Why You Want Your Kid NOT to Play for Coach K:

From the moment your kid puts on a Duke jersey, he will automatically be transformed into a Total Gaywad.

It’s just unavoidable. That’s to say that the kid wont have a chance to redeem himself and shake off the Gaywadness (Grant Hill, Elton Brand), but in general, once a Gaywad always a Gaywad.

for the record, the term “gaywad” is not meant as a slur against homosexuals and as such has nothing to do with coach k’s nutsac. i just like the way it sounds. if it feels better to your sensibilities, please substitute the word “douchebag”.

b diddy came in 6th with George Karl in 2002 world championships. He had his chance and was hoisting up threes then like he does now. hell naw he shouldn’t be on ANY more USA squads. i swear I know its hard to come up with stuff everyday but sometimes yal ask questions that makes no sense. And why would any of us love a story about coach K’s balls. that’s not cool its makes this poised leader of men seem like an excitable jr. bobby knight. i hope its not a true story. i’d rather not play for a coach that threw his balls around..why the hell is any story(except flight of the conchords) cool about a dude showing his balls around to other dudes.

i have to disagree somewhat, NOT ALL the assassins have been white, case in point, sirhan sirhan who killed robert kennedy was not white but (as his name says) of middle eastern decent (otherwise known as asian not white)

i think black people have not had the ability or means to be an “assassin” of a president. i dont think they “have more sense” if they did then they would not be the largest portion of general population in prisons among other “no sense” type actions.

as for assassins, it was not not a white man who killed malcome x, it was a 22 yr old black man. even the king family is not sure it was james earl ray that shot MLK. it was 2 black men who shot people while they pumped gas or what not in washington dc. the point is these dispicable crimes are not “exclusively white” just like drugs and gang rape are not “exclusively black”

Ever since Obama became a possible candidate for the Democratic nomination, his Secret Service detail has been twice that of even the President. I’m assuming this is because of all the death threats.

Anyone who thinks America has come to the point where it’s ready to accept a black president, I think sorta proves otherwise. Ideally, this kinda threat wouldn’t exist. I mean, he’s not even president yet, and he’s got a target on his neck. I gotta give props to the man, he’s going into this knowing he’s putting himself in danger. That’s pretty honorable, in my opinion.

All the assassins throughout American history have been white. Maybe white folk are crazier than black folk. Imagine if a black dude tried to kill Reagan…shit would’ve gone outta hand. Black folk got more sense than that.

J-DOT
see i think you have missed my point, these “white men” IMO should not be classified as human white black or otherwise. ANYBODY who would “alegedly” conspire to do what they are accused of should not be considered human but animals. no mater who they “conspired to kill” no mater what color or race.

as for the obama name, i think you again dont understand. i cant stand the name BECAUSE of the man, i do not dislike the man because of the name. i am VERY pleased he is losing his support, and i am very pleased he is coming off his high horse a little. has nothing to do with his name, his color, his religion (no mater what you believe it might be) it has everything to do with his attitude, and his POLITICS.

Sloan will never be coach of the USA team. He was an assistant in 1996, and that’s as close as he’ll get. he’s not a great communicator, he’s a dictator. when you bring a group of insanely talented cats together, it’s about communicating, not yelling. If NBA2K had stats for coaches, Sloan would get a 99 in yelling at his players.

Sloan will probably get a COY as a lifetime achievement award, but he’s not about all that stuff. He also hates the all-star game (eventhough he played in a few, iirc). His top assisstant has a COY (phil johnson), but he doesn’t. That’s hilarious.

I’d say that near-unamimously loved Byron Scott may get a look. (depends on the Kidd situation, really)

Dam all these rappers want to battle like its 95 again.That taking chain shit dont get props no more.Now dude cant even go to other dude city to make his own money.Dickheads.They both stink I suppose anyway.I wouldnt know.I dont care who the head coach of 1012 is as long as they keep someone like Mike Dantoni who knows the international game.Im glad they caught them jokers trying to get Obama.It wont be the last time that happen.I feel what ranger and shake saying that they dont want to be lumped in one group.Thats the same thing I be preaching when a black athlete make a small mistake and get trashed for being a common thug.I know common thugs and them NBA players are not that.None of them.

Damn, that’s rough for Wayman. Hope dude is good. Undoubtably the best former baller – to musician in league history. Real music, not the Kobe, Shaq, AI attempts.
And I don’t understand why Boom can’t play on the 2012 squad if he makes the 3 year committ that Jerry gonna want. I’d put dude healthy against any point guard in the world and he’d do nuthin but bust ass

RIP, Duck
