But you know what was really incredible about his game last night? He only had two fouls! And one of those came in garbage time, well after Portland had put Milwaukee away. I think he's finally getting the hang of his whole "being a center in the NBA" thing without knocking people over to make your shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YourKock'sReallyGreat 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 He played 25 games last season. Even though Mourning never played for a team that I really cared about, I did enjoy watching him during the Heat/Knicks rivalry during the late 1990s. The Knicks were able to knock out the heat in 98, 99 and the second round in 2000. That helped ease the pain of the fucking NBA suspending half of the Knicks roster in 1997 for leaving the bench. I still cant believe that Ewing was suspended for a game for going to the mid court area to watch the fight which was underneath a basket. It's a fucking shame that Mourning was able to leach and steal a championship with the 06 Heat after the stunt that he pulled in New Jersey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't just Jersey. He pulled shit in Miami (the first time) and then Toronto after the Jersey trade. He really showed a lack of class in the latter half of his career.

Mourning earned his ring, regardless of what happened in years prior. He may have earned it on the floor, but he still spent the last couple of seasons chasing a title, burning plenty of bridges along the way. First, he dumps Miami for Jersey after they pay his full contract during his kidney recovery. Then when Jersey falls off, he demands a trade. He gets a trade to Toronto, where he sits out and refuses to play until they release him (and give him his full salary). Then he bounces back to Miami to join up for the title run with Shaq. That was a fairly despicable turn of events. I don't care for players that turn their backs on organizations so quickly just for a shot at a title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were times during those playoffs that they better off with him on the floor than they were with Shaq. Now, Gary Payton, he stole a ring that year. Mourning earned his ring, regardless of what happened in years prior. This is true. Payton following Shaq around the league looking for a ring was pathetic. Even Karl Malone retired with some dignity after the All-Star Laker Experiment came up short. Payton went on to kill some time in Boston, refuse to play for Atlanta, and not contribute much of anything except a warm body to Miami as I recall. The 06 Heat were a confusing team because D-Wade was awesome and I wanted to cheer for him, but there were so many other unlikeable guys there that I didn't want to win the title.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 Magic big-man Howard sets All-Star voting record ORLANDO, Fla. -- He was the first to dress as Superman to win a dunk contest. He's now the first player to get 3 million votes from fans. Yes, the All-Star Game is fast becoming Dwight Howard's personal showcase. The Orlando Magic center -- who leads the NBA in rebounds, blocked shots and double-doubles -- got a record 3,150,181 votes to lead this season's All-Star team, released Thursday. The Feb. 15 game in Phoenix will mark the third All-Star trip for Howard, who'll be starting for the second time and easily topped the previous record of 2,558,278 votes collected by Houston center Yao Ming four years ago. "Wow, what a blessing," said Howard, the 6-foot-11 center who dressed in full Superman regalia, cape and all, on the way to winning last year's slam dunk competition. "That is what I took it as, a blessing from God and then the fans. It's just a great honor and I was surprised, but like always I thank the fans for everything they have done for us." The final results of fan balloting didn't exactly bring any major surprises. Miami guard Dwyane Wade (2,741,413) and Detroit guard Allen Iverson (1,804,649) will be in the East's backcourt, alongside reigning All-Star MVP LeBron James of Cleveland (2,940,823) and Boston power forward Kevin Garnett (2,066,833), who beat New Jersey forward Yi Jianlian for the starting nod by 253,004 votes. Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers (2,805,397) was the West's top vote-getter, and will be joined at guard by New Orleans' Chris Paul (2,134,798). At center, Yao (2,532,958) will start for the sixth time, along with forwards Tim Duncan of San Antonio (2,578,168) and Amare Stoudemire of Phoenix (1,460,429). Nice to see that Yi didn't taint the game with an undeserved starting nod. It's also interesting that Dwight Howard got that many votes. Amare's total looks really low for a starting player, especially compared to the numbers most of his teammates got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was funny that he signed with Toronto in my NBA 2K9 franchise. That Boston/Orlando game was pretty good from what I saw. I'm predicting the Lakers blow a 17 point lead to Washington before going on to win by 9 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
