    Thunder up, bruh. I actually blog about OKC, but I love the NBA in general. Warriors look goooooood.

    I like OKC. As long as it isn't the Lakers or any team Lebron is on. Not that I don't like Lebron, but lots of people's expectation is that once he joins their team, they will end up being the champions.

    Raps, Bulls, and Warriors... I can live with that so far. As long as we don't have any Mavs, Cavs, or LA teams show up :wink:

    I also been a Dirk fan. Steve nash should have never left the MAVS. They used to be my team. Kryie is a former Duke and I am a Duke fan. LA well Kobe some argue he is the greatest player.

    Memphis Grizzlies, of course. OKC is probably my second (which is odd considering), followed by the Spurs.

    Excluding the Grizzlies (5-0!!!!!), I tend to like individual players more than teams, I think!

    Naw, Kareem Abdul Jabbar has him outscored and played better defense. I don't think Kobe's even in the top 10 all time. Jordan, Russell, Magic, Bird, Chamberlain, Duncan, Shaq, James, and Olajuwon have higher statis based careers.

    OKC Thunder! We are plagued right now with injuries though so this season isn't looking to good. Will it be enough to get Brooks out? I hope so.

    The NBA sucks! They are all self centered *kitten*. College basketball is much more fun to watch and is more of a team sport. Half the time NBA players are walking the court, I hate seeing millions of dollars wasted on someone giving 50%

    I remember seeing a poll of if you were down by one with final seconds in the game who would you have shot the last shot. The choices were Jordan, James, or Bryant. Guess the order of it.

    The butthurt smells very strong.

    Cleveland Cavs. Although I might be the only person not happy that James came back. Of course I hope he does well because the Cavs are my team and I want them to win but I would have loved seeing them win one without him.

    It's not butthurt its my opinion. I used love watching the NBA back in the day with Jordan, Magic and all of the legends. The league has changed a lot and its not entertaining to watch.

    College basketball on the other hand is very entertaining. While not all of the players have the skill to make it to the NBA those kids are out there giving 110% every night. That's entertaining.

    College basketball is pretty much unwatcheable until tournament time. You complain about NBA players walking the court (as if) and then support college basketball, in which many teams literally just stand around for the first 15 seconds of the laughably long 35 second shot clock.

    Raptors fan here. #wethenorth

    Most college dreams are to make it the the NBA so yeah there giving there hearts out on the court. I will say the season lacks entertainment but come NBA playoff time those games are very emotional and entertaining.

    The college atmosphere has dropped a tad in excitement. NBA is as good as its ever been since the Jordan days. So much fun. and the playoffs are incredible.

    The "walk around 50% of the time" comment is just ignorant. So much athleticism and hard work going on.

    I still remember the Miami vs Chicago series two years ago. I am looking forward to Cleveland vs Chicago this year.

    The kings can go from strong and finish horribly. Maybe different this year, I do have the NBA league pass so I will see what's up this year! Go Kings!

    It will be interesting to see if the Lakers package him off to the Knicks. Would be helpful to have someone on that team that already knows the triangle.
