Enjoy yourself man. That should be fun there's nothing like dat nba atmosphere.

NFL game atmosphere > NBA game atmosphere

NO, the NFL is much better on TV than. Live NFL has no commentary, alot of the best angles for viewing are not even possible from any vantage point in the area, only the airborne cameras can provide them, and every run up the middle just looks like a pile of bodies. Live basketball has none of these issues and is extremely satisfying to watch live.

I sort of agree with this. I guess it just depends on how the arenas/stadiums are made. I had seats on the moon at a Texans game and still could see everything great, but I'm sure it would suck to have endzone seats no matter where you were. And the Toyota Center is so centered that you can see from anywhere. It's sort of made to regardless of how high you are, it's still feels close to the court.

I went to last years SPURS - OKC playoff game solo. The "I want some Nasty" game.

I had a blast. The way I see it is you're not alone cause you got 15,000+ people with you. Lame excuse but work for me.

My homie I go with to all the sports events had to work that day. Im glad I went tho. Enjoy man!

Lay off the drugs Monta.

 

[addict4sneakers]

i'm not mad at Monta. its called self esteem. no should be able to tell you how to esteem of yourself


i don't agree with him though

 

[bigmike23]

Hell has happened to Hibbert?

he is not that good. PERIOD. he is slow and cant move up and down the court, doesnt rebound well for a 7 footer and is soft in the paint. where is JA, allen and all his other fan boys that got hyped off him last year? top 10 center my ***

The last NBA sale, with the Memphis Grizzlies in October, went for a reported $377 million. Prior to that, the New Orleans Hornets reportedly were sold for $338 million. The Golden State Warriors were sold for a league-record $450 million in July 2010. But the Maloofs, who have consistently said they don't want to sell, are confident they could reach that $500 million figure because of the potential mobility of the franchise -- the Kings can get out of their lease at Sleep Train Arena at any time.

 500 million? YA OK

Royce White says he won't play for Rockets' D League team, citing "unsafe" atmosphere of team officials making mental health calls.

From a Wizards blog that I follow:

Kings blogger Jonathan Santiago of Cowbell Kingdom emailed me this trade proposal:

Washington Wizards get: DeMarcus Cousins and Aaron Brooks
Sacramento Kings get: Gordon Hayward and Enes Kanter
Utah Jazz get: Bradley Beal and Jan Vesely

Before I could respond, Santiago followed up with this slightly tweaked trade:

Wizards get: DeMarcus Cousins, Travis Outlaw and Isaiah Thomas
Kings get: Gordon Hayward and Enes Kanter
Jazz get: Bradley Beal and Jan Vesely

[pmatic]

The Jazz aren't stupid.

 

[Peep Game]

At 1st Royce White was carrying himself well, then his twitter rants along with his ravenous supporters started taking over and he's made himself look very bad. It also doesn't help that the Rockets have completely gone out their way for him.

It would only be fitting if Cousins and Brooks joined the Wizards

he will never step on a court
i dont even think the rockets know what he wants as he is being vague with them. if you read some of his tweets he asks for "protocols" but doesnt tell anyone what he wants in place. it's a mess between him and the rockets
i actually wanted the W's to draft him, thank god, harrison barnes

 

[finallyfamous]

Royce White SMFH ...

Feel bad for dude and the rockets as well

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Cousins in DC would be a mess. I wouldn't blame the Wizards for taking the risk though.

Full statement from Royce White.

We say there is such an unknown element to mental health in this country, due to the number of people who are not diagnosed. This element also makes it a tough demographic to support.

I agree.

However, it saddens and frightens me to know that in this situation all the decision makers involved have been informed of all the medical dynamics, and yet still refuse to adhere to medical sensibility. In hindsight of the recent tragedies in this country, that had mental illness variables, you would think it would encourage people to act more proactively in that arena. You would think that decision makers who are not well informed about mental health, would take the consultation and recommendation of those who are. You would think we would start to do everything possible to not let the tragic consequences befall us first, before we ask the logical question, "why?", "who knew?" "how could we have helped?. Why not take a proactive approach of "who knows?" "how can we listen?", "how can we support now?"

I do wish to play, but I only intend to do so with the collaboration and recommendation of trained professionals. The purpose of a doctor's confirmation is to ensure that health decisions are made in the sole interest of health and not conflicted with business. My only hope is that decision makers involved realize that doctors are the only logical source to decide action.

There is an admitted lack of knowledge on behalf of the Rockets and the NBA, it becomes transparent as they choose to forego the knowledge of trained professionals and make independent decisions for something as complex as mental health without consulting any doctors. The Rockets have told me in recent conversations that it is their right to decline even their own doctors' recommendations. The concept of not listening to medical consultants in medical situations is alarming. It is also alarming that a player is susceptible to fines for simply adhering to the recommendation of doctors.

It is true that accommodating mental health can be very tough and complex, however, sometimes the only reasonable solution to doing what is right is doing what is tough. To portray that the Rockets have been supportive to me is fundamentally incorrect.

The information that the Houston Rockets have publicly presented about this situation has been extremely misleading and a lot of times totally inaccurate. An image of support has been presented by the Rockets, but the only logical support here would be listening to the recommendation of the medical professionals involved. That has not totally happened here. I have chosen to not play, because the doctors and I believe it to be unsafe for unqualified Rockets front office personnel to make medical decisions, as they are not mental health professionals.

Royce White should be asking himself and others if leagues in Europe and Asia have trained mental health professionals.

Good lord, he's going to blackball himself out of the league. Just a bunch of empty accusations on his part.
