Are people starting to realize how good of a player Joe Johnson is?

I would like to note he turned down 3 years 10 mil because he wanted 3 years 12 mil from Orlando. and ended up making league minimum. as if he is going to get a better deal next year.

Because most other people find him funny. I have no problem with a ferrell a year.

He had a "sore hip". Also known as "haven't regained explosiveness and wouldn't have been a factor" itis.

Eh, the movie wasn't THAT bad, just didn't hold a candle... or any other slightly flame like object to the first two.

One of the hottest albums out last year. Yeah, I said albums. Mood Muzik 2 was just plain sick. And there is no difference between nigga and nigger. Both of them will get your fucking teeth stomped out if you say them to a black person if you are white. I could give a fuck what Phonte says.

I am fine with the Hawks getting a snub. i get to see all their games anyway...and I am getting season tickets. And I work for the company that owns the arena so I will be in the box seats for quite alot of games.

Hell, the Blazers have one of the youngest and most exciting lineups in the league. Josh Smith is a walking highlight film in Atlanta, and though atlanta lost alot last year, most of their games were really really close (thus good). I am with you guys. No reason every team shouldn't have some televised game. And the NBA is wondering why ratings are dropping. There used to be the Tuesday Wed, Thursday of double headers(thats 6 games on weekdays) plus regional coverage, plus two games on sundays. Now you are lucky to get 3-4 games a week.

People actually question if Fat Joe writes he own stuff? Seriously, his style changes everytime he has a new protege. I don't think that is a coincidence. I still say Remy Martin wrote his first verse in Lean Back and Armageddon wrote the last one. You can hear their flow all over it. And Necro is a horrible rapper, but dammit, I like his production.

You are a cunt. And no, there is no new definition for that.

50...didn't....ghost...write....a...goddamned....thing....for....game. Duded seriously, stop it. Dude raps the exact same way he did when he started (pre G-Unit) while with G-Unit and after G-Unit. Same flow, same word play...shit if you listen to alot of his older mixtapes, some of the same metaphors and lines. 50 has done the same thing, as has every other "crack rap" artist. They talk about being out slanging on the corner then talk about how they got kilos comin in and they were a boss. Bosses don't stand on the corner. You take what you actually did and multiply it by 100. Thats what fake people do. And I will have to disagree with Not Rich and Still lyin being good stuff. It would have worked had it not been for 50 just making shit up like game said it. "Fuck Em, Fuck Dre, Fuck NWA" you know full goddamn well Game was too busy shouting out to them in every song to diss them and he still hasn't

After just seeing Volver and having seen every film that he has done in the last 20 years, I have to just go ahead and say it. Pedro Almodóvar is the best fucking director alive and the best one in modern cinema. There. I put it out there. I will only accept critisizm of Atame and Kinka. Besides that you will love his films, rather you like it or not.

well I didn't go that far. For at least 4 of those years, Isaiah unquestionably put up better numbers than stockton over all. Somwhere in those years he put up like 14, 11, 10, 10 assist for those 4 years and was at about 2.5 steals a game. Plus he was a damn good player until the day he stepped off the court. But Stockton so consitantly solid at the point for so freakin long, I don't see how you can put Isaiah ahead of him, although it is somewhat closer than you would think.

Hey dammit, Oliver Miller was a incredible shotblocker, great passer and a adequate rebounder. Jerome James is...well...Jerome James. And the reason you have to move two of those guys is that almost all of them need major minutes to contribute anything. Nate RObinson is streaky, so is Q, and both offer basically nothing in the way of defense. Francis and Crawford both have to get some major minutes to contribute well also. Add Jeffries into the mix and there just isn't enough minutes to go around.

You would have to get rid of at least two of those guys. Q and Crawford with the biggest marks on them, but they have some monster contracts.

Isaiah and stockton... I don't know. I buy into Stockton being the best point guard ever, but at the same time I call Magic Johnson the best basketball player ever in my eyes. Guys like Magic and Oscar, I don't know if you could really put them at just the point guard...well...maybe Magic. At worst I think you can put Stockton at 3. Isaiah was REALLY REALLY GREAT, but I don't see what separates him from Nate Archibald, besides playing for a couple of great piston teams. Plus in the grand scheme of things Stockton was great longer.

I would rank Kobe higher than Iverson mostly because Kobe is a better defender than Allen. But Clyde was a great defender, scorer and led teams to the finals. I wouldn't put Kobe higher than Clyde just yet, but he certainly could pass him. Depending on what positions you consider Dwayne Wade and Lebron James, Kobe will most likely be the third best two guard ever....second if you consider Oscar Robertson a point.

I personally think Steve Blake is cursed. Everyone and their mother knows that he should start with the Bucks but some how he will be behind Mo Williams and CHarlie Bell to start the season. I have never seen a guy be so productive when he is on the court not get minutes. Well...except Boris Diaw in Atlanta.

Well, the last year was against the cupcake ass Atlantic Sun division, so that QB had a beastly year. I don't know what happend with Ohio state. I was thinking it was going to be a hell of a game and they had like 8 turnover and couldn't move the ball at all. My greatest accomplishment was holding Marshall to 8 yards of total offense in the bowl game. Every year I have troy state, I play their easy scedule for 2 years to get some wins and some prestige points, then I up the scedule to try and get a National Championship. I don't expect to be able to walk all over the rest of my schedule like that.

You can't expect everyone on the label to go platinum and double platinum. The problem with those albums was there was a G-Unit oversaturation for a minute there.. 50, Yayo & Mobb Deep's albums all came out way too close together. But dont let yourself get fooled.. Buck and Banks WILL go plat. The Massacre sold more than Curtain Call & Get Rich or Die Tryin sold more than Encore. 50 is a bigger star than Eminem right now, there is no doubt about it. I want to swear you were the same one swearing that G unit was the hottest thing going because everything they dropped went Plat. Well, their last two offerings haven't gone gold....combined. Memphis fucking Bleek sold more albums than the last TWO G-unit releases. Stop and think about that for a second. You say Jay can't make anyone a star, just look at bleek.....Well....he out sold the last TWO g-unit releases. Two releases that didn't suffer from lack of airplay or promotion. TWO. And one of them was Mobb Fucking Deep. And we will see how 50s next album sells. I have no doubt it will go plat...doubt that Lloyd will go plat. I KNOW that buck isn't going plat. Dude isn't even liked in the south. He rode that G-Unit wave the same way Obie Trice rode that Eminem wave to go Plat the first time(and trice is infinately more talented that buck, banks, and 50, I just know damn well he won't go plat again). Buck won't break 200,000. Banks MIGHT go gold because everyone knows he is basically the most talented of those G-unit dudes (not counting Mobb Deep or MOP). And lord knows that if they drop a Ma$e album, that shit will sell like 5 copies. And that would just be members of G-unit buying it. Dont fool yourself. People will still want to listen to em more than they would want to hear 50. You want to look at his last few albums, but since then his movie and video games have come out and look at the sales of that. His drawing power has definately faded.

Well..once again. I liked it. I really think that people go in thinking his films should be one thing and when its not, they shit all over it. If he released this film under an alias, it wouldn't be getting these reviews. Its a fantasy film with a happy ending and people were waiting for the twist...and it didn't come. I liked it. It will be added to the DVD collection.

Okay, I am in my 3rd year with Troy state. In my second year, my freshman QB won the Heisman with over 5000 yards passing and 2000 yards rushing and 115 total touchdowns on the year. I was able to pull 3 great offensive linemen during the in season recruiting and took the fastest Running back I could find so that I could run the option more. I make my living with the in season recruiting. I just go through the list and pick the guys that have me in there top 5 from the start and give them all my points and ignore the others. If I drop out of the top 5, then I take their points and redistribute. I have gotten 5 guys a year with the inseason recruiting. I went undefeated and ended up ranked 19 after my Bowl win over Marshall Then came offseason recruiting. i lost 10 seniors and had alot of recruiting to do. And no one would come to my school. I pulled a decent FS and DT and a decent MLB but no offensive players would come although I was only targeting linemen. I found a two star receiver that could run a 4.20 so I picked him up to be my number two reciever. Just started my new season and this year I made a monster schedule so I could try and win a national championship. I just played the first game and murdered #1 Ohio State 69-7 and the 7 came off a fumble recovery. My defense has been monster for 3 straight years now, mostley because of the safeties I picked up in year two that have 98 speed rating. They don't get beat deep and if they do, I can always catch up and break it up. Plus my LE who I always control is getting about 30 sacks per season. And yes, I am playing on All american.

I don't see how you don't include ewing. The second best player on the Knicks was....well...I will let you guys debate that, but the guy was probably never an allstar, let alone a NBA great. If it weren't for the bulls, I say the Knicks would have had at least 2 championships, and Ewing took the Knicks to the finals against the Rockets and it went to 7. Once again, with pure bullshit around him. John Starks, Anthony Mason, Anthony Bonner...who the hell else was there. Derel Harper maybe but he was in the running down stages of his career when he left Dallas for the Knicks. And I will NEVER rank Gary Payton higher than most great guards. Take Kevin Johnson(i know...homer in me). He was a better scorer, and better point guard. And despite Payton being the "Glove" every great point guard in the 90's made him their personal bitch when he played. Yes goddamnit, I am saying. Gary Paytons defense against quality guards was overrated. Yeah, he would shut down the Negele Knights of the world, but any point guard with any semblance of quickness would own his ass, and that is why they saw so many quick exits in the playoffs. Nick Van Excel, Robert Pack were both basically responsible for the Sonics falling in the first round against lower seeded teams. I would easily rank Tim Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd and Mark Jackson ahead of him in his era. I do agree with most of these list though. And no, Nash isn't one of the top 10 points ever...maybe like number 12.

I guess when it comes down to it, I would rather have Smith and Childress back, but honestly they are going to have to accept that some of these guys are too good to come off the bench and they are going to move on. Josh Childress isn't going to accept bench minutes if he plays another year like he did last year. Niether is Josh Smith or Marvin Williams. so one of them is gone.

Plus the fact that Beanie can't write a radio song that will sell for shit. Everysong the dude come out with is hard as hell. Game is like 50 in the sense that he released an album in which every single song could be a radio song. All of them. That is why Game can sell. And the Em is irrelivant thing...if he drops an album tommorrow it will sell more than the entire G-unit rosters newest albums combined times 2. Including 50. 50 Keeps pretending he is running things, but Dre is basically saying "what the fuck ever" and is going to make his money with Game just like Jimmy is. And 50 is going to shut the fuck up because Mobb Deep and Tony Yayo flopped HARD AS FUCK. Just like Bucks next album will and Bank's album PROBABLY will. 50 fucked up all these dudes career because everyone got so tired of him and they took it out on the G-Unit artist. Now no one is buying any of their albums. And Curtis sees this and is going to shut up before his money starts to get short.
