You joking but I bet yo ass was glued to sports centre after malice in the palace (yes ? I know that wasn't the 90s). I remember those knicks vs heat games, I remember Chris childs, I remember when peeler pieced up kg, I remember when Shawn Bradley used to get punched weekly just for being big and white, I remember christie and rick fox having light skin meltdowns running round the building, i remember when oakley slapped the fire out jeff mcginnis for taking his ? at the club the night before, when he slapped tyrone hill for owing him money.
Im not saying I think it was better, but from time to time I wanna see these ? box if that's how they feeling.
That's a lil different from what I'm talking about, I mean ? plays to stop a hot player. Those are altercations after said cheap fouls or other infractions lol -
? (or in other words Laker fans who are really casual) are so upset over bron not coming said the commish should make em sit til the playoffs since they wanna rest lol

Michael Jordan told Wizards players they weren’t good enough to wear his shoes
Richard Hamilton was halfway through his rookie season with the Wizards when Michael Jordan was introduced as the franchise’s new president of basketball operations in January 2000. Over the next three years, including one season as Jordan’s teammate, Hamilton would come to learn that there were two sides to His Airness.
“Michael was funny, he had a unique personality,” Hamilton told Rachel Nichols on ESPN’s The Jump last week. “He was great to be around. Like, when I was on the basketball court with him at times with him, he would show me the whole medium-range game. Dribble two times, pull up in the middle of the court and say, ‘Hey Rip, get that in your game. That’s the hardest play in the game of basketball to guard.’
“But then there was also another side; there was the talking-trash Michael Jordan. At times, me and a couple of the young guys would come up to him and say, ‘Hey Mike, why don’t you think about putting us in the Brand Jordan collection?’ He would look at me and say, ‘Hey Rip, my sneakers [are] for all-stars.’ At that time, I’m like, ‘Wow, really?’ And then my other young fella, I don’t want to say his name, he would say, ‘Hey Mike, what about me? Put me in your sneaker.’ And [Jordan] would say, ‘Your game is not to the liking of my sneaker.’ You just had to have thick skin with him. . . . I went home, I looked myself in the mirror and I said, ‘Rip, you’re going to be aight.’”
Hamilton was all right . . . after Jordan traded him to the Pistons for veteran Jerry Stackhouse before the 2002-03 season. Hamilton told Nichols he went back to Jordan after he made his first of three all-star games with Detroit in 2006 and said, ‘Hey M, now I’m an all-star, now you gotta put me in that sneaker.”
Hamilton wisely bit his tongue around Jordan before he reached all-star status, and he advised his Wizards teammates to do the same. After all, Jordan was their boss.
“I told the guys, I said, ‘Be careful now. Be careful of what you say to MJ,'” Hamilton said. “Don’t talk trash to him. Let him win every conversation, because he’s going to be the man who writes our checks, so we’ve got to stay in our lane.”
Michael Leahy, who chronicled Jordan’s comeback in the 2004 book “When Nothing Else Matters,” shared an amusing, shoe-related story in 2001 about Jordan and third-year player Courtney Alexander, who could’ve been the anonymous “young fella” Hamilton mentioned to Nichols.
Via The Post:
One night in the Wizards‘ locker room before a game, Alexander eyed the small mountain of shoes and Nike boxes around Jordan’s locker. “Like those?” he said, pointing to a pair of Air Jordans.
“Hey, Charlie,” Jordan called to the team’s equipment man. “Can you get a pair of Air Jordans in Courtney’s size?” And then he muttered sideways, just loud enough for Alexander to hear, for this was the whole point: “Maybe they’ll help him get a rebound.”
Savage.

If he keeps up this pace I think he should win it. You're a Rockets fan so I understand you might lean towards Harden. -

I get the pace and what it looks like but no mvp should have as many 7/25 nights as Westbrook is probably going to end up having -
No order but
Harden
Westbrook
Kawhi
Kawhi don't even get sufficient help from Aldridge most nights lol -

He's averaging a triple double. Only one other player has ever done that. How doesn't that not make him the front runner for MVP? He's carrying a team that without him they'd win 20 games. -

Simple answer.
Everything that glitters ain't gold. -
Harden is better than Russ at damn near everything.
He's s better shooter, better finisher, more efficient, better playmaker, and I'm giving Harden the ball 10 times outta 10 when the game is on the line. Russ tries more on defense but he gambles way too much and that's just as bad.
And honestly OKC isn't nearly as bad as their record suggest.
Russ chasing triple doubles will hurt them in the long. -
RIP Craig Sager
