Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

Ive got this sensational scenario in mind that would be epic if it were to happen:
James white stuns the crowd with an array of sizzling spectacular dunks. While hes getting mad love, he takes off his jersey to reveal a shirt that reads "the REAL King James", the crowd goes bonkers. Lebron, obviously offended, emerges from the audience and demands an extra sudden death bonus round... All while still in street clothes, word to Prince.

Spoiler

Gary Payton didn't make first ballot HOF

SMH

Wojronowski is pissing me off with his tweets though. You're only good for news, not blessing us with opinions from your high horse.

they used to have this happen in 2k's Dunk Contest mode... if you won Lebron would roll up in an escalade and play you (from what I remember)... my friends and I got a kick out of this

That's exactly why I stopped following Woj on Twitter. I could only take his smug, self-righteousness for so long.

How many points do you all think a 50 year old Mike Jordan could average in the NBA right now?

HOUSTON (KDKA) – Could Pittsburgh be on the list to get an NBA franchise? That’s what NBA commissioner David Stern recently mentioned in an interview with the Houston Chronicle.

Stern sat down with Jonathan Feigen of the Chronicle and spoke about the issue of moving the Sacramento Kings to Seattle, to replace the Sonics.


He told Feigen “Right now, we have no approved plan for an arena in Seattle. We have a very good potential ownership group and set of plans, but there’s a lot of work to be done.”

When asked about possible NBA expansion Stern told the Chronicle, “I keep a little green book with a list of all the cities interested in NBA teams and could respond pretty quickly. There’s all kinds of stuff going on in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Louisville, Virginia Beach, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Mexico City, Kansas City.”

David Stern has less than a year remaining as NBA commissioner. He will be replaced by Adam Silver.

12-15...because if he's on the court for at least 25 minutes, you know he'll get his 15-20 shots up. You know he'll hit at least a 3rd of those.

 

[mmg]

Great at the "thought" of adding more NBA teams when they need to get rid of like 4

 

[trynafeelmink]

I would HATE to see lebron on the dunk contest because due to the small stature of the other contestants & ESPN on their Lebron is the best ever spree everything he does would probably be ranked a 50 their is no way they are gonna let Lebron lose to james white or Gerald Green

 

[tyonenine]

Poor kyrie. He thought he was gonna start

[thekingofva]

yeah but that doesnt equate to a good dunker. In the dunk contest people want to see technical finesse dunks, not just people hammering the rim.



who has the best post moves in NBA history? I was thinking it was between McHale, Hakeem, Kareem or Timmy....but I'm sure there are plenty of players that I'm forgetting.....

Don't forget Brad Daugherty his nickname use to be "The man with 1,000 post moves". But if I had to choose one it would be Hakeem or McHale.

 

[mmg]

Keem used to make dudes look silly and move like a guard in the post :x

 

[finallyfamous]

Haha didn't know Usain Bolt was in the celebrity game .. That'll be cool.

Pumpe for the Rising Stars Challenge tonight! 4 Cavs to represent!

Thanks!

When it came time to film, he'd see the guards eyeing the cinnamon rolls and he'd walk over and spit on each one, to make sure nobody took his food.
