thats cool stuff. Funny, the opposing team wanted to go crazy too

That's pretty cool.

I could see Howard doing that too, but that's about it.

Their dance team should be called The 'Cans.

i say this being entirely serious.....after seeing this, i hope Lebron wins 10 more rings.

Keep in mind if a player blows over someone on the sideline, photographer, cheerleader, security, or a fan...whatever, and doesnt see if theyre ok or help them up, I instantly hate them.

I thought that was the funniest part. You see them start to run to the guy and some of their team mates are holding them back.

I actually like that Pelicants logo. Im a fan.

Good to see JJ Redick shake all the NDL haters. 15 ppg, 4 assists, shooting 46% from the field.

Ok, maybe I was every so slightly off on JaMarcus, but I'm pretty sure I was one of very few saying he would be serviceable in the NBA.

Captain Obvious, here.


By the way, I think you were one of the ones off on Redick.

i have no idea what my side was on the topic. i'd be interested in knowing if you did any research

Wade gave Lebron 10 to 1 on the pre-shot bet.


Pretty awesome clip, I wonder if you asked the guy what was the bigger highlight, hitting the shot or having James tackle him, he'd say it was the latter.

You know I usually do.

In this instance, I hadn't.

Unfortunately, I can't do one as he was drafted when we had the old boards..RIP.

That being said, I know I was saying he would be serviceable, and hell, he's exceeded those expectations. But I also remember most everyone adamently disagreeing.

Just did a quick search shows my thoughts on AJ are probably from a debate we had on Jimmer last year where AJ said he either would or could be as good as Redick, though I just skimmed and didn't really read much.

I know it's silly because he won $75K and I'm not saying he would trade that money, but you gotta think the lasting moment has to be getting tackled by Lebron, there.


Funny thing, I read that they asked him what he was going to do with the money, I think right after he hit the shot while on the court, and he said something to the effect of, "Give half to the government"

i dont think so, i've always liked reddick for what he is. spot up, no defense, 10-12 a game type guy

i'll take the 75k.

he had to pay like 22k in taxes they said.

Incorrect on the "no defense".

Stan Van Gundy broke it down perfectly last week. He's a below average man defender. He is an excellent team defender(rotations, pick and roll, help defense blah blah blah), and overall he is an average defensive player and the Magic's defense isn't worse when he is on the court.

He also mentioned how a guy like Earl Clark is a great face up defensive guy in 1 on 1 situations, but overall is a complete liability on defense because he is really bad with rotations and help defense.


Now we'll see if Jimmer can put up 15 and 4 with good shooting one day.
