George Karl Is Your Ticket To Coaching
George KarlYou know that old saying, “it’s not what you know, but who you know?” Well, I believe that applies to George Karl.
In terms of grooming future coaching talent, Karl is like the Coach K of the NBA with five of his former players or assistants currently coaching – Detroit’s Michael Curry, Oklahoma City’s Scott Brooks, Chicago’s Vinny Del Negro, Toronto’s Sam Mitchell and Portland’s Nate McMillan.
Karl is one of twelve coaches in NBA history to reach the 800-win mark and currently has his new-look Nuggets squad playing better than expected.
Looking at the current Nuggets roster, who could you see coaching in the NBA?

Karl looks like he’s ready for retirement.

Aron, I like the picture choice. He kinda looks retarded.

Richard Wellner says:
I really wonder how these people in charge can make sound decisions while being so overweight.
I make no joke here. There has got to be some type of physiological impediment to your cognitive processes if you become very fat.
The bigger issue here, besides Karl’s health, is that we all know a shit load of people in positions of power that are grossly mismanaging their own bodies.
I cannot trust such a person, and it is very scary to think that this is how our country is run.

JCARR is a shoe in for player hater of the year.
He can easily beat out “a diverse array of mark-ass marks, trick-ass marks, punk bitches, skig-skag skanks and scallywags, ho’s, heifers, heehaws, and hoolihoos.”
Kudos JCARR. Now all that’s left is to “thank god for giving everyone else so much, and me so little.”

It’s funny how blacks blame whites for slavery, when their own black people in Africa sold them in the first place. You should go back there and blame them.

JCARR says:
@calvin brodus
Its not hating!! How many people use their experiences to motivate others? Sooo many, the fact that nene has overcome so much diversity in his life is only sublime. Its possible that Nene uses his experiences for good after his career is over. “No one is less than the other” In fact the one that has less should feel proud and value life more than the one who has everything.
Real talk.

Sallo says:
JCARR thats the first time you have said anything remotely respectable. You should try it more often. Your previous statements tend to let others think little of you. This one statement has changed my views.

calvin brodus says:
I retract JCARR’s Player Hater of the Year Award and now give it to Richard Wellner.
@Richard Wellner: You’re an @$$#0{&. It’s true that some African tribes captured their fellow Africans for sale to slave traders. And make no mistake, there is a special place in hell for anyone associated with the ownership of another human being regardless of the circumstances. So those capturing tribes are just a guilty as anyone else in the deal. However, the practice of Africans capturing Africans for sale would never have occurred if it weren’t for the demand presented by slave buyers (primarily in the colonial states of America). A crack dealer goes out of busy real quick if there is no one to buy crack. Basic economics shows that supply reacts to demand. Take away the demand for slaves, and you take away Africans selling other Africans. It’s f~ck!ng crazy for you to suggest the colonial (white) Americans who built their economy and businesses on slave labor are free of guilt. Not to mention, that after a few generations of slavery, white slave owners were able to cut Africa out of the deal because they could bore their own slaves, on their own plantation. Slavery is America’s original sin. To suggest that colonial whites have no blood on their hands for that is just completely false. Stay away from the blogs for a few days and try reading a f@ck!ng book.

@Sallo
Maybe my statements shouldnt be misinterpreted. I agree with you though, I will take a more mature approach when i post my messages.
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Richard Wellner says:
Either way, Calvin, you should get over it.
There hasn’t been a nation in the world that wasn’t enslaved at some point. Do the Greeks still bitch and moan about it to other Greeks? Do the Slavs still complain about it?- when their very name was derived from the fact that they were slaves.
Instead of using slavery as an excuse to milk hard working tax payers out of money so you can sit on your ass, you should try to get over it. You will be better off without this crutch.

@richard wellner
Not even the most pauper and uneducated school will teach the kind of crap that is coming out of your mouth. Keep your idiotic ideas to yourself.
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Richard Wellner says:
What do you suggest, JCarr? That all white people walk around all day appologizing for what happened 200 years ago?
You ungrateful people already got way too much for free, like access to free education and employment positions over much more qualified candidates from other races.
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Richard Wellner says:
You reap the benefits of these white people you hate so much everyday. This very internet you use to communicate, the computer you’re using. And yet, you still continue to hate on white people.
You just sit back and reap rewards without ever giving anything back.

Austin Burton says:
“…without ever giving anything back.”
Somebody get this man a Black History lesson, please.
If this is leading to one of those “White people can’t get certain scholarships ’cause we’re not minorities. That’s not fair!” arguments, then just get it out now and put your cards on the table.

that's whats up says:
sounds like DICK Wellner needs some pussy

JCARR says:
@Richard Wellner
Did a minority take your job or something? Obama won, if you dont like go to England or something. In this blog I am sure that dim Neo-nazi beliefs are not supported. What do you want minority’s to do, clean your ass???? Who’s hating on white people??? The one who is hating is you, but your narcissitic disorder won’t let you see the truth. Check yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, “Who the F*CK am I????”

Vinny says:
hEY dICK YOU STILL THERE? Did the aryan meeting start and you cant respond? Do you even know who invented the computer?(#16) If you have some sort of white power agenda(you called troy murphy more intelligent than most of the nba on another post) keep that shit on your aryan website. Oh and by the way asshole-slave holders here in the USOFA were white!! and most of the people on welfare are white -check the stats asshole!

GEE...Break ya concentration, murda ya camp says:
Can’t play into one so ignorant. He clearly wants time.
Anyway that picture of GK looks like when special fx artist take a skinny dude and put all that stuff on him to make him fat. Like Big Mama’s House or The Klumps. GK need to get that face skin tightened up.
I don’t care for GK, but I guess it’s fair that everyone gets some type of praise for something. He is still a horrible coach you ask me.
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
JCARR says:
@richard wellner
“Figures”- looks like we know who you support. Hate is the absence of love.
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Richard Wellner says:
JCARR maybe you should go back.
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
JCARR says:
HAHAHa Richard maybe you should accept the fact that there are millions of minority’s and only thousands of skinheads.
Your probably in some type of mid-life crisis. I am done paying attention to your foolish posts. Look for something that is truly fulfilling in your life and hopefully you will have a change in heart.
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Vinny says:
No Dick- using that logic- maybe you should go back-because unless your ancestors are indigenous to this continent you dont belong here anymore than anyone else!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Richard Wellner says:
My ancestors are indigenous to being smart and normal. Not retard-acting and st00pidz.

Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:
@ JCARR– Hate is the absence of Christ. It’s easier to hate than it is to love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
This is a perfect description of Christ= love

Richard Wellner says:
It is harder to think than it is to spew bible tales.
But, back to the topic.
I think George Karl used to be a great coach, and his long line of proteges shows this; but he is now too fat to be good.
December 3rd, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Vinny says:
Dick-judgeing by your responses on here its obvivously harder to think for you! dont overextend yourself!!

JCARR says:
@Drink the Haterade
Yeah thats what i meant Love is Christ. I just didnt want to get religion involved cause who knows how ignorants like richard wellner will start talking about jesus. Otherwise i might have to give richard a Seton Hall theology lesson.
December 3rd, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:
Yeah, I think Dick might need that
December 3rd, 2008 at 2:32 pm

Indeed… lol

Sallo says:
Wow. The topic seems to have changed since this morning. Its always better to leave the racism topic alone and try to be the best person you can be. White or black it doesnt matter. Stop looking at what others are doing and what you are doing for yourself and others. The time you waste thinking less of someone, you could be uplifting yourself.
