Well some people are plenty vocal about voicing their opinions and others aren't . Depends how a player is in front of the media and his personality. I think more often than not most players say what they really think is on their minds especially regarding an innocuous question like "Who do you...

Yea that is why although high school kids have the right to make their own decision, I think educators and universities should make a more concerted effort to keep these kids around and get at least a degree. More often then not they go for the money, are not talented enough or get injured and...

Of course I am also pretty active with my job and family life. I also play basketball and football with my old college buddies whenever we are together. We played touch football on Christmas Day ! So it is not like I am idle at a desk all day desperately in need of some movement.

I used to weight lift late in high school and college but was never enthusiastic about it. I was also on the track team in high school. After college my life became about work and paying my bills. It was a stressful time (although I did have time for a 30 minute jog). Nowadays I am not fat but...

I prefer browsing the internet or playing games on the computer. I watch mostly sports on TV which I can do on my computer nowadays anyway. If it is a major event like the NBA Finals or Superbowl then I will watch that on my television.

No real preference really. I have played with all kinds of sneakers made by a variety of different companies with no real difference in my game.

A prime example of this is the NCAA. You have teams from regional conferences knocking off teams in the SEC and ACC ranked top 10 in the country much more than before. The field is much more even than it was a decade ago. Guys are all trying to make a name for themselves, playing hard every...

Also you have to consider how players height and weight have increased over the years. The average guard is at least 2-3 inches taller than a decade ago. The game is physically more demanding now like with all sports. That is not taking away from guys like Jordan or Kareem or Magic because they...

In basketball, a flagrant foul is a serious personal foul. A foul is considered flagrant when it involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. The foul may be done purposely or unintentionally. But you are not kicked out of the game for it. Usually a player gets 2...

'The 6th Man' was another great movie. Tugs on the heart strings but at the same time it had Marlon Wayans in it so it was hilarious at times.

The Raptors will make the playoffs if they continue this level of play. But dominating the East ? As weak as the Eastern Conference is you still got the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards to deal with.

Blue Chips. Best basketball movie ever. Nick Nolte was great in it. Great ending and really gave you a glimpse into what life is like for star athletes coming out of high school. And how important it is for educators to treat these kids as students and not superstars.

I play football recreationally. For example this Saturday after Christmas me and some buddies are going to get together and play some football at a nearby park. Touch football of course as most of us have to report to work on Monday and we don't want to be bruised and battered up. :)

Kids should have the right to make up their own minds for sure. With all the injuries I see breaking the hopes of promising athletes I think finishing their education and getting that degree is important. It gives you something to fall back on. But also you can have a couple of extra years like...

We are all entitled to our opinions. This is not politics, religion or about money for godsakes. We are talking about who we think the greatest basketball player of all time is. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be afraid to state who they truly feel is the best. If anything dissension...

I played basketball at a young age with my brother. I was not a huge guy but I could shoot well from the perimeter. I played a lot of recreational basketball with my friends. I enjoyed the competition and the fact that I was able to improve at it because my parents' had a driveway basketball...

I also just joined the forum. My favorite team is the New York Knicks since the days of Patrick Ewing, Starks, Oakley and Mason. These past few seasons have been disheartening for sure but every franchise goes through ups and downs. I am glad to be here.

The Knicks. Haha. Joking.I am impressed by a couple of teams in the East. The Wizards and the Raptors. The W/L record of the Raptors is enough at this point for them to be the team that has taken me most by surprise. They were supposed to be contenders yes but they are playing above that. They...

I did not see the game but I don't see how a game can be repealed after it is called final. Should the referees be held accountable? Absolutely. I don't understand how a mistake like that can be made with the replay footage that is available to the officials.

I think Lebron James will surpass Jordan and Kobe as the best player of all time. Not statistically as Jordan and Bryant were prolific scorers. Bryant still is. But I think James is more an all around better athlete. He surpasses Jordan and Bryant in every other dynamic of the game besides scoring.
