starvenger Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 I probably won't be the only person who doesn't lose sleep over this if it happens...
Mole Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 He was the only reason I wanted the Lakers to win. He should have retired last year with his running mate John. I know he wanted an NBA championship and all, but his legacy was with John and they should have ended together.
alfdogg Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Posted July 1, 2004 What do you guys think would have happened had the Lakers somehow got Stockton to go there instead of getting Payton?
alfdogg Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks for the insight. You should take SAS' job.
sfaJack Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 Well, what else should I say? I think they still would have gotten beat by the Pistons, mainly because I don't think 41-year-old John Stockton would have been any more useful to the Lakers than Payton is/was. What skills would he have brought to them that Payton doesn't have, besides maybe a better "team" attitude? Fisher probably still would have gotten most of the playing time at the point, so what would be different?
alfdogg Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Posted July 1, 2004 First off, I was obviously joking with you. I just don't like using smiley's when I don't have to. Second, I mainly said that because of how Payton cried about the offense for most of the season. Stockton wouldn't have done that. They would have better chemistry. I agree they probably still wouldn't have beat Detroit, just something to throw out there is all.
sfaJack Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 ... Shit, I guess I missed the joke alf. It's been a very, very bad week for me...
The Electrifyer Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 Bye bye Karl, may you always remember that Darko Millicic has more championship rings than you.
King Kamala Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 And Steve Kerr has five more. Steve Kerr is my man!

Steviekick Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Stockton would have fit better in the triangle offense than Payton ever will. The two of them are both great PG's, but the way they play(ed) is completely different. Stockton's passing ability in the triangle would have been insane.
Steviekick Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 I've said it before, but Karl Malone cannot be stopped by conventional weaponry.
MrRant Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 I've said it before, but Karl Malone is the best white player in the NBA today not to win a championship.
DangerousDamon Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 I've said it before, but Karl Malone is the best white player in the NBA today not to win a championship. wait, you mean Karl Malone is white. He had me fooled all these years
Lt. Al Giardello Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 I've said it before, but Karl Malone is the best white player in the NBA today not to win a championship. What gives you the right to basically call Karl Malone a "uncle tom"? Are you even African-American? Karl Malone is the best Power Foward of all-time. Hate to play againest him, but would love him on your team.
Dangerous A Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Karl Malone is the best Power Foward of all-time. For now. Duncan will surpass him as the best PF of all time when he is finished.
Steviekick Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Karl Malone is the best Power Foward of all-time. For now. Duncan will surpass him as the best PF of all time when he is finished. I guess. The one thing I don't like about Duncan is his lack of emotion as a player. He just never seems enthusiastic and looks like it's a chore.
sfaJack Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 As opposed to the retarded chest bumping and ridiculous showboating typical of most other NBA players after they dunk a ball (uncontested) to pull their team to within 30 points of the lead? Give me Duncan any day.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Karl Malone is the best Power Foward of all-time. For now. Duncan will surpass him as the best PF of all time when he is finished. At the pace he is going... Yes. But then again you never know. Injurys could happen.
The Czech Republic Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Karl Malone is the best Power Foward of all-time. For now. Duncan will surpass him as the best PF of all time when he is finished. I guess. The one thing I don't like about Duncan is his lack of emotion as a player. He just never seems enthusiastic and looks like it's a chore. Lousy professional attitude. Whatta piece of crap!
Damaramu Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Damn that Duncan for being so absurdley good at his job that he doesn't need to celebrate after ever little thing b/c he KNOWS he's going to do it! DAMN HIS 7 FOOT ASS!!!!
King Kamala Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 I think it was a bad idea for Karl to go to LA in the first place. He should have either A. Finished his career in Utah or B. Finished his career for the New Orleans Hornets. Sure Karl still wouldn't have championship, but he would have been a hell of a lot closer to the scoring title.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 The Hornets? Why, what the fuck? And he did alright by going to LA. After all, they did finish 3 wins away from a championship... Well, again. The only better move he could have made would have been by going to Detroit, but that wasn't going to happen (though in retrospect I now wish it would have), and part of the reason he didn't do so well this season were reduced minutes- AND HE STILL GOT INJURED. Imagine a place where he would have been the go-to guy.

I know, but it just annoys me how casual and laid back he is. He looks annoyed when people talk to him.
The Czech Republic Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 He's from the Virgin Islands, you've gotta be casual and laid back if you're living there.
