I don't want to get into the big argument but this is why Dirk Nowitzki is still not in the Kobe/Nash/Lebron/Wade level of elite-ness. Any of those guys would be entrusted with taking the last shot no matter how they have been playing leading up to it. Avery, meanwhile, didn't have the confidence in Nowitzki. And I'm with barron, fuck Alonzo Mourning.

Sens got a tough choice to make. One option rumored around here is copying last year and signing both Redden and Chara then trading one for someone who fits the cap like we did with Hossa. I don't see it working as well a second time though. I'd love to go after Shanahan as his type of grit and winning pedigree is just what the Sens need as guidance, especially ocne the playoffs come around. #1 priority though: Spezza and one of the big 2 D guys.

You don't seem to understand the difference between the words "important" and "popular". Ok, how about being the defining band of an entire genre(hair metal/pop metal/whatever you call it), good enough for importance?

Yup and Bon Jovi's longevity is nearly unmatched in this era. They've remained relevant and gone platinum off NEW(not older material) records from 1984 to the present with no signs of stopping. Worldwide they have sold as many or more albums than any other artist on that list with only Metallica, Ozzy and AC/DC coming close. They were also the band that defined hair metal and remain the only band to escape hair metal with their popularity and relevance in tact. Even Def Leppard hasn't had a new CD of theirs do good since the 80's. Bon Jovi has survived hair metal, grunge, rap metal and every other fad to remain big. So yah they're not only worthy of inclusion on a list like that but also are, probably, the most underrated band of the past 20 years.

Drums - Matt Sorum Bass - Flea Guitar - Carlos Santana Lead Singer - Jon Bon Jovi

Phoenix/Dallas could be one of those classic series, the likes of which hasn't been seen since LA/Sacramento in 02. I just pray Miami beats Detroit or the finals will yet again be unbearable.

Some more 'Coming To America': Maurice: Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. And pretty soon, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in. ----- Prince Akeem: Sir, I was wondering, did you catch the professional football contest on television last night? Cleo McDowell: No, I didn't. Prince Akeem: Oh, it was a most amazing game. The Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. The Giants triumphed by kicking a pigskin ball through a big "H". A most ripping victory. Cleo McDowell: Son... I'm just going to tell you this one time. If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.

My 3 keepers: Richardson, Iverson and Michael Redd

"Let off some steam Bennett!"

It took 24 posts to get to this??? What the fuck is wrong with you people!? From the same movie: Cook: I'm a Green Beret muthafucka! Matrix: I eat Green Berets for breakfast. Gotta love the little shot at Rambo.

From 'The Running Man': Richards: I'll be back! Killian: Only in a rerun... ----- From 'Lethal Weapon 2', as the South African is shooting Gibson and Glover has his gun pointed at him: Rudd(while pulling out his credentials): Diplomatic immunity! *Murtaugh puts a bullett in his head* Murtaugh: It's just been revoked. ----- In 'Coming To America' where the two guys at the basketball game start bowing to Prince Akeem and the girl asks who they are. His reply, "Oh just a couple of men I met in the bathroom", is priceless. ----- The opening musical montage of 'Rocky 3' with "Eye Of The Tiger" playing. Great contrast between Clubber training and Rocky living it up.

I always wondered what ever happened to him. Contract run out?

First thing I thought too. "Proof, Eminem's longtime friend, appeared in the film "8 Mile" as Lil' Tic; he also served as Eminem's best man when the rapper remarried his wife Kim Mathers in January (see "Eminem Remarries Ex-Wife Kim Mathers"). Eminem filed for divorce last week." Good old MTV. Nothing is said about the family he leaves behind and whatnot but they make sure to mention Eminem's latest happenings. Anyways, RIP Proof .

And watch the team he signed with leapfrog you guys in the playoff standings.

Outside of the Rock, what big star isn't?

I'll be back. I'm keeping Jason Richardson and Allen Iverson.

The Fins destroy another second tier team. For what it's worth they pounded Italy worse than Canada did. Finland's building confidence and wouldn't shock me if they went undefeated in the Round Robin.

That was mine as well. I am now concerned. Do we get membership cards in this club? Batman was my first one too.

I'm so pleasantly surprised at Crash getting a Best Picture Nom it's not even funny. Won't win but still awesome. Same goes for Munich. Bana got jipped though.

Thanks a lot bro.
