Basketball's rise is well deserved. The top level caretakers of the sport should take a bow. They have done a great job.

Hockey's demise is well deserved. Much of Hockey Canada's minor league infrastructure is hampered by politics, backstabbing and bullshit. I quit when i was 14 because it was becoming more like a job than a game. I was told in the booming baritone voice of my fat coach that i had a "weight issue". I was too skinny. Also, Gary Betman sucks he is just a lawyer that turned NHL hockey into everyone's favourite distopian sport: Rollerball.

Its so easy to get a game of basketball going with no adults around. Its dirt cheap to play. You don't have to worry about injuries.

AND 1 more thing:
Kobe Bryant is still the best basketball player on the planet.

Well, you do have to worry about injuries in basketball. Actually, you get injured pretty often, even when playing casually.

And no, Kobe is not the best basketball player on the planet. With Lebron good as he is now, there isnt much of a contest now.

There is nothing in basketball like the catastrophic car-accident style head injuries that now plague hockey at almost every level of competitive play from peewee to junior.

competitive minor hockey in Canada deserves to die. it is not fun any longer.

the sad thing for Kobe is that his achilles tendon injury occurred on a regular basketball play.
What prevents it from happening again? Nothing.

Definitely not D'Antoni. He doesn't know what the word 'prevent' means.

I was kind of down on them at first but they look better from the side. I wish the purple ones were the home jerseys since that's kind of Nola's color.

Gonna kind of suck that we won't have the Mardi Gras alternates for a couple of years for branding reasons.

It's too bad Thibs doesn't get shit on like this when he did even worse: Bulls leading by 12 with ~2m left and Rose is still in.

I think you missed the point of his joke.

To make things worse, youre talking about Thibs who is like the anti-joke of his joke.

From what I've read the ACL tear would have been inevitable anyway, the result of cumulative damage. If he didn't tear it in that G1 it would have been after the game, or in Game 2.

I agree about Thibs limiting minutes in the regular season though, but IIRC the 6ers were on a run and 2 minutes is enough time to mount a comeback.

also if I'm remembering the Kobe injury correctly Kobe was hobbling before the final injury, D'Antoni wanted to take him out but Kobe was adamant about not leaving the game.

And yes coaches should control their players blah blah blah but in that situation Kobe obviously has more control that D'Antoni does.

Except Rose was far younger, wasn't playing ridiculous minutes and wasn't showing signs of strain prior to the injury.

Did you forget how injury plauged Rose was just before the playoffs? Ridiculous minutes? Rose played 37 of 46 possible minutes, he was clearly gonna play 39 minutes that game. Rose played the whole second half up to that point. Look up Rose's shot chart that game. 12 of his 23 shots were in the paint, including 8 of 10 in the paint in the second half. Look at all the abuse on Rose's ankle! Plus his pre-playoff foot/ankle injuries and fluid in his knees. All in a game that was already won, where the Lakers needed to win that Golden State game to even make the playoffs.

Yes, I understood the joke. I was arguing the context, the part where somehow coaches are apportioned blame for injuries that are impossible to predict.

I was being generous with 2 minutes, the exact time of his injury was 1:20.

I dislocated my shoulder playing bball two weeks ago from some Woody Harrelson look alike shoulder charging me.

I wish the season would start already. Still like 3 months away? Lame.

That statement couldn't be further from the truth. It is the most fun, and should continue. IMO hockey should have hitting earlier not later so people learn how to give and take a hit. But talk about a overstatement. Or speaking a personal opinion like fact. Complete joke of a post.

In lakerland we have just become accustomed to taking shots at D'Antoni all the time. We just go at him. Why? Because he has no defense.
