ya yao ming wasn't asian


o wait

fagot
yeah...and do you remember how controversial that was? charles barkley said he would kiss kenny's ass if yao ming ever scored double digits in an NBA game on draft night. people underrate asians at basketball, and it's probably why lin wasn't recruited out of high school or drafted in the nba.

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

valanciunas was one of the best picks in the draft, and bargnani was playin really well before injuries, but that's more due to the lockout shortened season than anythin else.

the nba is horrible, all it is is marketing, i can literally expect to never see the bucks win a championship in my lifetime when every good player that comes through the draft is going to leave and no free agents want to come here

not necessarily just the bucks, any small market team in general will never have a chance at winning a championship unless they get lucky during the period of the rookies they draft, free agents will never be attracted to any small market team, and the rookies almost always get attracted to other large market teams and leave the smaller teams after their original contract is up

top 5 teams in the east ---> philadelphia, chicago, boston, atlanta, miami
top 5 teams in the west ---> okc, la clips/laks, san antonio, dallas

^all big market teams, will stay this way for a while and you can throw new jersey/new york in the possibilities of being in top 5 in the east, you might as well make it like a 12 team league

baseball is similar in the marketing techniques but its different in the sense that not 1 single player can completely dominate a game, the nba pretty much has the most garbage set up between all of the major sports

YES IM MAD

okc and san antonio are NOT big market teams, they just have non-retarded management (sam presti is responsible for the spurs as well). small markets are a lot tougher to be successful in yes, but with smart management they have a good chance.

Pretty much sums up why I have never paid attention to the NBA and never will. Even if Seattle gets another team (which we probably will), I don't plan on watching them.

i would like to see an underrated team or a team that had to build upon average players to win; for the nba championship this year.

memphis is the only team like that right now/ chicago.

okc and san antonio dont have any other sports (other than college) to root for so the entire city rallies around those teams, ALL of their money that would go towards a sports team goes directly towards them ---> making them big market for an NBA team

you're retarded and don't know what small market vs big market means. look at the shares of income those teams receive from their fan-bases etc. san antonio is small market because they have a low income with respect to other teams in the league. i won't comment on the thunder because i honestly have no idea what their income is like, although i'd venture to say it's smaller than when they were in seattle. they'll probably be garbage once they're done feeding off of seattle's draft picks.

the clippers/knicks have huge markets yet they've sucked dick for 15 years or so. it really comes down to management. players don't leave because their teams aren't big markets; they leave because management sucks and makes horrible decisions, such as the grizzlies trading gasol for a bag of chips and the bucks trading away a prime ray allen for a withering gary payton.

p.s lebron james tried unsuccessfully to get michael redd to leave milwaukee and win a championship with him in cleveland back in 07 or something. players will opt to stick with a franchise if they believe in the management.

example: so regardless of the fact that brandon jennings is beginning to have a team formed around him (granted bogut stays healthy, regarded as a top 5 center) and has a lot of pieces around him that the bucks are trying to form, he still wants to leave and "go to a big market team"

the management is doing their best to form a team around him and he still is deciding to leave, which is why the management is surprised by this response

lebron ---> management did their best to build a team around him, possibly wasnt the BEST decision making but all they wouldve done over time is just continue to build a team around him and give him as many pieces he can ---> left for miami, obviously much better chance to win a championship, but also more money.. his team and management back in cleveland wouldve obviously done as much as they couldve to help get them back, but he opted for more money and a bigger market

the biggest free agent signings in the bucks recent history have been glenn robinson (lol) NO free agents will ever be attracted to coming here and the rookies will continue to leave, what dont you get?

management is a big part of it as well, but you look at teams like new jersey, theyre 8-21 this season and dwight howard is still attracted to going there, why would he want to? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

"It has nothing to do with the city of Milwaukee or anything like that because that's where I started my career,'' Jennings said. "They've been nothing but good to me. (Coach) Scott Skiles and (general manager) John Hammond have been good to me. It's just that I'm understanding the business of basketball now.''

so you ignore my point about big market vs small market teams with the okc and san antonio examples, because you know you're straight up wrong. san antonio is a small market team. gotta love forum debates - "oh shit i was wrong, lets not talk about that".

lebron james is making less money in miami you fool. he'd be the highest paid player in the nba if he stayed in cleveland with his loyal fanbase, but he chose a pay-cut when he went to miami. he now makes less than chris bosh. smh you know nothing.

i don't know all the reasons your franchise sucks, i just know they've made poor decisions in the past (giving seattle ray allen for a withering gary payton). the bucks had michael redd for a really long time while he was dropping 25+ a game and was one of the league's premier shooting stars, along with ray allen. i'm not sure if they managed to make playoffs even then. the bucks suck.

also howard is undecided, he chose to stay in orlando and give his franchise another shot at proving they have the ability to surround him with talent. they're failing pretty hard at the moment.

okc and san antonio dont have any other sports (other than college) to root for so the entire city rallies around those teams, ALL of their money that would go towards a sports team goes directly towards them ---> making them big market for an NBA team
you're retarded and don't know what small market vs big market means. look at the shares of income those teams receive from their fan-bases etc. san antonio is small market because they have a low income with respect to other teams in the league. i won't comment on the thunder because they would be garbage if they didn't steal the sonics, so we'll see what happens to them when durant/westbrook leave. the clippers/knicks have huge markets yet they've sucked dick for 15 years or so. it really comes down to management. players don't leave because their teams aren't big markets; they leave because management sucks and makes horrible decisions, such as the grizzlies trading gasol for a bag of chips and the bucks trading away a prime ray allen for a withering gary payton.

p.s lebron james tried unsuccessfully to get michael redd to leave milwaukee and win a championship with him in cleveland back in 07 or something. players will opt to stick with a franchise if they believe in the management.
example: so regardless of the fact that brandon jennings is beginning to have a team formed around him (granted bogut stays healthy, regarded as a top 5 center) and has a lot of pieces around him that the bucks are trying to form, he still wants to leave and "go to a big market team"

the management is doing their best to form a team around him and he still is deciding to leave, which is why the management is surprised by this response

lebron ---> management did their best to build a team around him, possibly wasnt the BEST decision making but all they wouldve done over time is just continue to build a team around him and give him as many pieces he can ---> left for miami, obviously much better chance to win a championship, but also more money.. his team and management back in cleveland wouldve obviously done as much as they couldve to help get them back, but he opted for more money and a bigger market

the biggest free agent signings in the bucks recent history have been glenn robinson (lol) NO free agents will ever be attracted to coming here and the rookies will continue to leave, what dont you get?

management is a big part of it as well, but you look at teams like new jersey, theyre 8-21 this season and dwight howard is still attracted to going there, why would he want to? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
so you ignore my point about big market vs small market teams with the okc and san antonio examples, because you know you're straight up wrong. san antonio is a small market team. gotta love forum debates - "oh shit i was wrong, lets not talk about that".

lebron james is making less money in miami you fool. he'd be the highest paid player in the nba if he stayed in cleveland with his loyal fanbase, but he chose a pay-cut when he went to miami. he now makes less than chris bosh. smh you know nothing.

i don't know all the reasons your franchise sucks, i just know they've made poor decisions in the past (giving seattle ray allen for a withering gary payton). the bucks had michael redd for a really long time while he was dropping 25+ a game and was one of the league's premier shooting stars, along with ray allen. i'm not sure if they managed to make playoffs even then. the bucks suck.

also howard is undecided, he chose to stay in orlando and give his franchise another shot at proving they have the ability to surround him with talent. they're failing pretty hard at the moment.
ok point a. id have to see statistics on okc/san antonio, you saying your opinions without anything to back it up doesnt make it right (neither does mine, and i could be wrong but im pretty sure im not)

b. there is a maxed contract limit therefore he couldnt make anymore than hes making now, youre retarded.. he makes more money based on advertisements because hes in miami since its a larger market team "smh"

c. i know the reasons my franchise sucks ---> example: yi jianlian a few years ago was the bucks 1st round #6 pick, refused to play here, came from china and went to a large market team (dallas), because he wanted to become more well known, probably wouldntve happened in milwaukee. this is going to continue to happen now that theres been trades/big signings with better players in bigger markets, leaving smaller teams, and is going to completely deflate any small market teams like the bucks

d. he is undecided, but honestly do you think hes going to stay in orlando? lol

also, refer to my quote above

p.s. michael redd stayed with the bucks, still is with the bucks lol, he is bad and he was really pretty bad except for a 1-2 year span, not sure if he had another 1 or 2 year stint with another team but hes been with the bucks probably 6-7 years out of the last 10

"It has nothing to do with the city of Milwaukee or anything like that because that's where I started my career,'' Jennings said. "They've been nothing but good to me. (Coach) Scott Skiles and (general manager) John Hammond have been good to me. It's just that I'm understanding the business of basketball now.''

i uhh think that sums it up homie
no one is gonna publicly say "this team blows, management is incompetent" lol.. statements like that mean nothing.

the truth is players could care less about which city they play for, all fans are the same. they want to win first and foremost, and hopefully make a lot of money in the process.
