The season's only five days old, for chrissake!
Another reason why I can't stand the NBA (sorry, NBA fans).

Between this guy's attitude and Maurice Clarett (the hated enemy of my native Ohio), I'm getting fed up with athletes.

There have only been 5 or 6 games. Geez. I'd dump this player from the team just on principle.

Selfishness knows no boundaries in pro sports, particularly the NBA.

There is a perfect example on why the USA BkB team got their asses kicked.

Look, there are no surprises here. We all know the kind of people this specimin is. Enough said.

In my opinion, basketball is the greatest game, the truly Amrican game which was born over here and not a variation of European sports like football and baesball are. But the NBA is killing the game here. The Olympics fiasco show how the sport is waning in the US. Jordan masked the decline, but now it's there for all to see. I guess I haven't watched 10 minutes of NBA action the last five years.
For me basketball is college and school basketball. Buzz Peterson and the Tennessee Vols hold more interest for me than the whole NBA. The only thing positive about the NBA is that it's miles ahead of its ugly offsrping, the WNBA.
To: Colonel Kangaroo
I agree with you on college basketball. It's exciting ... but then they grow up to be NBA players. Ugh.

If only the poor schmuck was a hockey player. He could be taking the entire year off. Maybe two years. Of course he would not be getting paid, but hey, it's only money, right?

Selfishness knows no boundaries in pro sports, particularly the NBA. Oh, I think Barry 'Mr. Steroids' Bonds, and Terrell 'Mr. Sharpy' Owens, can give any of the NBA Mr. Selfish guys a run for their money.

Artest reminds me of Leon from the Budweiser commercials. Literally, it would be hard to write a script for one of the Leon commercials that was any more ridiculous than this.

The owners need to do a 10 year lockout to get rid of this present bunch of dopes.
