Ben Gordon should be a starter.
Oh yeah and people that seriously believe Kobe is better than Michael Jordan, or saying Kobe is the greatest player of all time.
Personally don't think he's the greatest Laker yet.

that a team can be "distracted" by something a single player is involved in
that 40 times have an impact on a player's success once they're drafted
wunderlich test results determining whether or not someone can play QB in the league
that David West is/was an all star
that Kevin Durant is better than Carmelo Anthony

It's apparent that you are missing the point of what people are saying. When the Yankees win titles, their payroll is astronimically largerthan the rest of the league. In a way though if you have the money, why not spend it? It's crazy how much money in payroll the Yanks have dropped sincelast winning a World Series.
2001 - $113 Million (Lost World Series)
2002 - $126 Million
2003 - $153 Million (Lost World Series)
2004 - $185 Million
2005 - $209 Million
2006 - $195 Million
2007- $218 Million
2008- $209 Million
2009 - $201 Million
Total spent since winning last World Series (2000) $1,609,000,000

^ shaq ain't my cup of tea but he was able to carry teams or did you mean present era shaq?
oh and that billion and a half the yankees spent on players, i wonder what their revenue was all those years combined. Then you would have to subtract the newstadium too I guess. I just wonder if they made a profit.

Here's a couple misconceptions that come to mind...
That, "You can't use your hands in soccer (so it isn't a real sport)"
Well, you can, ask the goalie. Also to throw the ball in play when it goes out of bound on the sides.
That, "There isn't any physical contact in soccer, that every player flops and you can't get hurt"
Don't make me embed some Youtube clips of soccer injuries.
That, "All soccer games and fans get insanely crazy, people jumping onto the field and fight"
Not all, just most.
That, "Poker is a sport"
LOL
That, "This is a must win for _____...."
No it isn't, really.
That, "X running back, is a down hill runner or runs better down hill"
What the hell is that? Thought the field is flat.
Nah, but seriously, I think I know what theymean but then again, I don't. Plus it don't make sense to me.
That, "Baseball is fun"
For who?
That, "Baseball is America's favorite pasttime"
Which America is that?
Next one is like a 3 in 1...
That, "Boxing is easy." People say, "What's so hard about just going up there to beat someone up, to throw punches" or folks whenwatching boxing saying, "Why is he just standing there, why doesn't he punch"

I see what you are saying, but I have a slightly differing opinion. So IMO, buying a championship implies that the team spent a ton of money to bring in freeagents which ultimately lead to winning the World Series. If you look at the championship Yankee teams of the past, an overwhelming majority of the playerswere home grown players. Sure they are signed to large extensions. But up until the point where the Yankees stopped winning World Series, they were NOTbringing in a ton of huge salary free agents. They havent won for a while, so they then started bringing in top level free agents.
To say the Yankees have bought ANY of their WS titles, is just wrong....yet so many people hate the Yankees because they "buy their Championships."
