One reason I still have a small bit of respect for Mark McGwire in spite of his clamming up at the Senate hearings on steroids was his standing up and being at the birth of his son his rookie year. He missed his final game of the season and ended up with 49 home runs when he had a chance to hit number 50. When asked about missing that opportunity McGwire said, "I will have other chances to hit 50 home runs but only one chance to be at the birth of my child." Family has to come first and I pray that nothing goes wrong during that child birth because he will have to live with that the rest of his life.

No way the Cavs win this series, plain and simple. And lets please hold off on comparing James to Michael Jordan because it is not fair to Lebron. Right now James is an incredible talent and even has room to improve but there is no way that he is another Jordan, at least not now. Jordan would never had laid an egg in a finals game like Lebron did last night. And you know what? There is no shame in him NOT being Jordan because we may go many, many more years before or if we see another Michael Jordan.

I just thank God that his indecisive butt is in Florida and not Kentucky. And him whinning that the Magic forced him into a decision; I doubt that crosses his mind when he does the same thing to a recruit.

Duncan is better than Kobe, no doubt about it, unless you are just looking for an egotistical "me" first player, then Kobe has Duncan beat hands down.

I would take him but I am not sold on him being an elite point guard, especially in the SEC. He is very small and not a strong player either. He is a good player IMO, but I don't see him being a difference maker from what I have seen and read. I would rather use the scholarship on a player next year.

He still owes baseball at least something. Baseball fans have allowed him to become a very wealthy man. And it is not major league baseball or the Hall of Fame that has caused Barry Bonds' problems, he has brought every single problem on to himself from his actions on and off the field, whether it be trying to reduce his child support payments during the strike to his "unknowingly" taking banned substances, Barry can look in the mirror and see who is causing all of his grief.

JMO but Bonds owes baseball a heck of a lot. He is a self centered jerk, would be a very good rooomate for Terrel Owens. Don't go away mad Balco Barry, please just go away.

Amen brother. :thumb:

Incredible performance and I would put it in the top 10-15 without a doubt but I do have to say that the Pistons lack of double teaming and the lane being more wide open than the expressway did not hurt his cause any. And someone on here said LeBron never complained about getting murdered; no offense but he complains after every no call or each time he gets a foul called on him and he could have been called for pushing off with his off hand many times. He played 50 minutes and somehow is only called for three fouls. Like I said, awesome performance and it may have wrapped up the series for the Cavs because Detroit cannot seem to get it done in Cleveland.

Duncan brings out the best in his players and his attitude is light years ahead of Kobe's, just look at how Kobe is handling things with the press right now. Without Shaq, Kobe does not get any of those titles. Duncan got his with an aging David Robinson and then with a team of good but not great players on the others. No doubt Kobe is very talented but he is not better than Duncan and while Duncan will most likely go down as the greatest power forward in history, Kobe will go down as a great player at his position but no way as the best of all time.

Duncan will have more titles than Kobe at the end of this season and he already has more MVP awards. Duncan all the way.

He is a jerk. Nothing he does that is a detriment to the game surprises me at all. And he doesn't care about anyone but himself. I went to the Hall of Fame last year and I saw the people I wanted to see there, I don't need or want to see anymore from Bonds than I have to.

Horford and Brewer for sure go before Noah and I would think that Noah will go anywhere from 8-15. Not much of an impact IMO, just not strong enough to play the four and can't shoot well enough from the outside to be a three and he will have a hard time defending either one.

It was not a waste of time to recruit Todd May.

Amen. :thumb:

He got homesick and left UK after one year.

 

He was a BIG, BIG, waste of time, IMO.

Then he went to Wake Forest and was in line to be the starting small forward until he broke his foot. He would have had a very good career there if not for that misfortune.

I thought Meyers was a pretty good coach. He was around forever and was a very good recruiter, just could not get a title.

I was thinking the same thing. He looked confused and gave the standard "no comment." I don't think he knew what exonerated meant and didnt want to take the risk of responding.

That is too true, me and my wife said the same thing when we saw it. :laugh:

Robbie Harris did all he could. Ended his career with an excellent effort, only gave up three hits and pitched his heart out. A really good kid who I see only great things in his future. Hopefully we will see him pitching somewhere on the next level.

Vick is worthless.

He did have 10 boards and 9 assists

Yes, but was only 5-15 from the field and did not get to the foul line. So like I said he did not do that much, at least for someone that is supposed to take over games.

Portis is an idiot too, cannot believe the crap he was saying. The NFL is having serious issues and the commish has a tough job ahead of him.

Tayshaun just got rejected by LeBron.

That is the only thing LeBron has done all night. :dancingpa

Tim Duncan. He has the championships and also the MVP awards as well.

A lead is a lead, just like a win is a win.

This is not me condoning any of these guys' actions. However, I know how I was at age 22/23, and I know how I would've acted had I just signed a multi-million dollar contract a few months back. Heck, I was poor as can be at age 21 and still got picked up for a DUI.

 

Again, not saying I condone their actions, but I understand them.

Sure, a single mistake and then learn from it. These guys make one after another after another, and with the blessings in their lives that they have I cannot understand why they want to throw it all away to live like some criminal. I guess if I understood that then I would be like them and thank God I can honestly say that I am not.

I will never be able to understand why these athletes like Henry, Pac Man Jones, Tank Johnson and others like them continue to waste a dream life. Play sports, get paid millions to do it and not have enough sense to realize what a dream they are living so they live the thug life and hopefully will all pay dearly for their continued stupidity.
