Josh Howard is talking reckless, previewing the Cavs, and what if Portland re-signed JR Rider?
Josh Howard (photo. Monte Isom)Was it a good thing or a bad thing that Josh Howard’s ‘hood interpretation of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf happened during the NBA’s slow period? On one hand, the September 2008 award-winner for Bad Press In Sports could easily be overshadowed by the MLB postseason races and the NFL. On the other hand, if this is all that’s going on NBA-wise (and during an election year on top of that, when everyone’s feeling extra patriotic), it could become a huge story. So far Howard’s comments haven’t made a huge ripple in the mainstream press, no where near what happened 12 years ago surrounding Abdul-Rauf. If you haven’t seen the controversial video in question, click HERE … Forgive Knicks fans if they’re not too worried about Josh Howard and more concerned with the status of Danilo Gallinari. Reports out of Italy say the rookie’s back problems — which ended his summer-league stint after just one game — still haven’t healed all the way. Maybe it’s nothing too serious, but back injuries are always something to worry about long-term. Just ask Rockets’ fans how they feel whenever T-Mac appears to be grimacing or moves his hand toward his spine … Is this the year that Danny Ferry and Co. have put the right pieces around LeBron to make a serious play at a championship? Not quite, and we all know time may be running out for them. Yesterday we previewed the ‘08-09 Cleveland Cavaliers, who could still go as far as the Finals (they do have the best player in the East) or exit in the first round … The Seahawks’ desperate signing of WR Koren Robinson — who was run out of Seattle a few years ago because he kept getting arrested — to help fill their gaping holes at receiver is the NFL equivalent to the Blazers watching Brandon Roy, Jerryd Bayless and Rudy Fernandez each suffer season-ending injuries before Thanksgiving, then bringing back JR Rider to play two-guard … If you’re wondering why the Lakers are even considering signing Jelani McCoy — who’s only 30 years old but suffers from Jamaal Magloire’s Disease that makes him look/play like he’s 39 — when there are plenty of younger centers out there who are most likely better, it’s simple: McCoy is a vet, and once you’re in the League, GM’s know your name, and you’ve proven to be a harmless practice player who won’t rock the boat, you have the advantage over a kid who’s something of an unknown … Speaking of unknowns, Pistons coach Michael Curry said rookie Walter Sharpe (UAB) will probably spend more time with the big league squad than in the D-League. In other words, Sharpe isn’t getting ANY burn this year. Meanwhile, Curry said Rodney Stuckey is going to get starter-type minutes … Of all the new NBA coaches taking over this year, is Curry under more pressure than the rest? He’s the only one whose team would be taking a step backwards if they didn’t make the conference finals in ‘09. If you were running a team, how much time would you give to a coach before you started evaluating his job status? Seems like these days you get about 2-3 years to find the right formula, but after that it’s time to produce W’s or start updating the resume … If there’s a way we can watch the Nuggets layup lines on NBA League Pass, sign us up. Denver just inked rookie Sonny Weems, and the NCAA’s reigning dunk champ will join a roster that includes J.R. Smith, Birdman Andersen, Dahntay Jones and K-Mart. At the very least, Steven Hunter is gonna catch some bad ones during practice all year … Remember Davon Jefferson? He played with O.J. Mayo at USC last year, followed O.J. into the draft as a freshman early entrant, hired an agent immediately, then he wasn’t picked. Jefferson has signed with Maccabi Haifa (Israel), where his teammates include Tamir Goodman (the “Jewish Jordan” who was a high school star in Maryland a few years back) and B.J. McKie, who is still U of South Carolina’s all-time leading scorer and was a BEAST on Coach K College Basketball for Sega Genesis … We’re out like Davon …

Jason Whitlock goes overboard sometimes with his stuff, but I still think he’s decent. It’s probably hard being a black sports journalist, every time you see things from a black point of view and report it accordingly, you’ve got a million people accusing you of playing the race card.
It’s been awhile since there’s been a great “black” sports columnist. JA Adande is corporate (he used to be better with the LA Times), Scoop Jackson seems like he’s trying too hard, Stu Scott is a joke and doesn’t write articles. The best is probably Fred Wilbon.
My favorite has always been Ralph Wiley. He had such a unique voice and an ability to talk about race issues in such a practical way. A personal hero of mine, it was a sad day when he passed. RIP, Ralph Wiley.

I am thinking with the way games are now (2k8) they are going to run out of things to add. I mean say like in 2010 or 2012 what could they possibly add to the games for real? I don’t know.
Right now I would say they need to add more swagger to the games. Like I know I catch some ill dunks on cats in games and then the player comes down and either runs back or does something weird.
I forget the game but there was one I think where they had the dude point at the person he dunked on. I loved that mess. They need to do more of that, have a player yell, beat the chest, do that Shaq body becomes a slinky deal as you run back. More swagger needed!

He was formerly known as Chris Jackson…and wasn’t a bad PG by any means. He went Muslim, and took on some very “un-american” views…the big hub bub was about his not standing for the National Anthem. Because, in his words, “The flag is a symbol of oppression.”…That didn’t sit right for some folks and he was being constantly boo’d…It pretty much derailed his career, cause who wants to sign a player that most folks hate.
If I do recall as well, he also caught tons of flack for a comment he made right after 9/11. The lynch mobs were out in full force then, so he really caught hell.
The kid was a talent though.

I think they should allow gamers to pick any team in NBA history and play as them. Then you could pit the best teams from different eras against each other or replay old rivalries.
There’s so much talk between fans and analysts on who the best team of all-time is. This way you could play it out.
Matchup possibilities would be endless. Personally, as a Warriors fan, I’d like to go back and play with Run-TMC.
And/or you should be able to select an “all-time” team for each franchise, making a 12-man roster of the best (or worst lol) players to ever play for that franchise. That way, even some of the hard-luck franchises could trot out a pretty sick lineup.

9. Chris Paul – some of you thought he was too high. I’m fine with him here.
10. Kevin Garnett – Could be higher, but I’m fine with this.
11. YAO – Seemed high at first, but he’s justifying it with his play.
12. Elton Brand
13. Gilbert Arenas
14. Shaquille O’Neal – some of you thought this was too low. It might not even be low enough.
15. Dwight Howard
16. Andrei Kirilenko – this was a little crazy. My bad!
17. Tracy McGrady – A little bit low. I would still have Yao higher than him though.

I am interested to see what Curry does in Mo-town. Yes it is ridiculous that coaches are only coaching for a couple years and if they don’t win a ‘chip in that time they are fired. It is ridiculous that D’Antoni and Avery Johnson got booted out of town. There is only 1 team out of 30 that’s putting Larry O’Brien’s nuts on their face. That is one of the things that I hate about sports. It’s hard to be effective when the boss is breathing down your neck every day.

When Abdul-Rauf was known as Chris Jackson (about a 6′1″ point guard), he played ball at LSU at least for a couple of years, and his career there overlapped a bit with Shaq, I believe.
At LSU, Jackson was unreal, posting like some 40-50 point games. He did okay in the League before his hub bub of not standing during the National Anthem at NBA games, but he never really panned out like in college.
I think he retired pretty young and likely was blackballed by the League powers that be.

How is stating “I’M BLACK” racist?
Clearly, he is black and his reasoning for not celebrating a song is due to what it represents.
I don’t buy the argument of “Well he’s rich and should be content” for acknowledging the song. In his shoes I would take a similar stance but it would be done on a different platform.
I understand his logic but not his method. I see nothing racist about his statement.

Well I was trying to stick to my buddhist roots and take the middle way but here’s what the Spanish photo and Howard’s comment can be compared to.
The Spanish photo is like a portrait of a nude woman in an art gallery that people find offensive while Howard’s comment’s like a portrait of a huge middle finger with FUCK YOU written under it which isn’t offensive at all(Hey it’s a free county).
Still, if you don’t find Howard’s comments as racist then fine.Doesn’t bother me at all.I am not Spanish nor American,so, what a person making millions of Dollars and then disses his Country on tape isn’t going to spoil my day.

@dapro
Because he brought the issue of the colour of his skin as a reason why he doesn’t celebrate the Anthem.As someone said in another post that he’s white and still doesn’t acknowledge the Anthem but his reason were because he doesn’t like the government or how the country’s being run.It’s not because he’s white.
It’s ok to not like your government or things like that but at least give a valid logical reason.”I’m Black”??? If that’s his only reason than I say it’s racist.

You know why it’s racist…
Racism, by its simplest definition, is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. People with racist beliefs might hate certain groups of people according to their racial groups
He thinks he doesn’t have to do this because he’s black, therefore more superior to anyone else and its’ justified because he’s black

This is the thing though. LOL Sam I Am while I think you are right, I don’t even think he was going at it in that respect lol. I don’t think his microscopic mind was even of that train of thought.
Lately dude been coming off reaaalll simple, so in my opinion dude was clearly talking without thinkin and said it for who knows what reason (possibly friends, maybe thinking that was a legit reason, or what he heard someone else say no doubt)
It’s possible that he said it cause no other quick reason came to his small peanut like brain.
It’s possible he thinks all black people think like him, and it was just going to be accepted.
Whatever the case I don’t think he said it in the motive of being a racist even though it clearly comes off that way in different regards. He don’t seem like the deep thinking kind.

Then what do we wipe the black letters away with?…(the profound moment) A black eraser. See this, my brothas, is a classic case of divide and defeat, because once those letters are gone and the eraser is done…my brothas all that is left is the white board.”
The classic one is the game of pool of course lol.
White ball knocks all others out, and wins the game from of course knocking the black ball in.
This world is crazy. Of course if we all were the same color all over the world, it would be something else we would find to cause division.
Crazy.

Big surprise here but Gilbert got another surgery on his left knee to remove some debris and ease the swelling that was making his rehab. painful. He’s out till December but he says that now the rehab should be completely pain-free. I thought that was supposed to happen after the 1st and 2nd surgery…

“The Spanish photo was pretty clearly mocking (even if it was playful) Chinese people. Howard said, “I don’t celebrate the national anthem. I’m Black.” Where’s the racism?”
c’mon… may be a day late, but pleeease… what it means is, the national anthem, all the meaning and history of it, are for whites? blacks don’t dig the anthem? so, if your black, ur exempted in respecting the legacy? tell that to barack and you guys will have a long talk…
for all we know, corny and all, celebrating the anthem is celebrating the freedom you and i and all of us are enjoying… if j-ho don’t dig it, might as well STFU! if anything, its a major misrepresentation of black people…
as quest said, if it ain’t racist, then it’s effin’ dumb…
by the way, that top 50 list is a close 2nd to j-ho’s act on “this year’s top 10 stupid list” –
…morrison, bargnani & ben wallace over j-smoove? WTF are they smokin’?

just let me put in my 2 cents here, maybe the similarities with Abdul Rauf and Howard go further than we realize…maybe Josh Howard has Tourettes Syndrome just like Chris Jackson/Mahmoud Abdul Rauf did, and so thats why he just blurts out stupid shit…its like out of his control or something
seriously, yall remember seein your boy Mahmoud out there ballin, lookin like he was talkin smack but he was just like, twitching and cursing uncontrollably. hed be Din you up, like, “bitch”…”cock and balls”…
at LSU he was nasty as hell tho
