Yeah, but no one's ever gonna top Cedric Ceballos dunking the ball blindfolded that year in the 80's.... That was incredible.

Dang, they didn't even show the All-Star game on broadcast TV... How pathetic is that?

The NBA is tanking, folks. :bleh:

didn't he play for the Suns and then the Lakers, he was a good player, whatever happen to him....
sure the he couldn't see thru the blindfold?, nonetheless, it was creative. :bonk:

good thing i had cable, it was on TNT channel.
NBA-TV channel was good too, had lots of interviews with the players and was a good alternative to TNT with media coverage for this past weekends all-star game in Denver. :beatyou: :bonk: :doh:

Yup.

Lakers traded him somewhere and he disappeared off the radar...

As far as I know, he was truly blindfolded. Pretty amazing.

Yea a slamdunk competition that features Vince, Kobe, T-Mac, J-rich and others would be great!

As far as best dunk ever, I have to vote for the home town hero and say J-Rich's 2003 dunk was the best all time :P

Speaking of all star competitions, I wish the 3 pt shoot out was 3 rounds like before and more contestants. I'm not sure if the NBA got turned down by these people but there were a lot of other players who I thought should have been in it such as Hoiberg, Peja, Mobley, Damon Jones, and others.

didn't get a chance to see the 2003 slamdunk contest, yeah heard the J-Rich one was best of all time, wish i could've seen that one. anyone got the clip to that one?
yeah, the 3pt contest s/b 3 rounds atleast with more contestants, probably 8 or 10 total contestants would be better. This year, thought the 3pt contest was a bit weak, no one scored more than 20pts, but it was just ok to watch. :sweat: :bonk: :shakehead:

I personally like the 3pt contest the best out of all the all star competitions. And also it doesn't take that much out of a guy to shoot 25 3 pointers for 3 rounds. Kinda odd that they only have 6 contestants too. It's not like you put yourself at an injury risk by participating either :hehe: :hehe:

Maybe they should do like a 3pt contest reunion and bring back all the old timers. Guys like Bird, Kerr, Hodge, and others. They might be old but they can still shoot :hehe:

yeah wouldn't that be something, oldskool could show'em a thing or two about knocking down the trey's.

heard a rumor on the radio, sto...ovich(sorry about the lack of spelling) for Lamar Odom, could this be true? and other lakers/kings players, deadline is days away for trading. :shocked:

The Heat lose to the Bulls in OT, 105-101, and Shaq strained his left knee two minutes into the first quarter...


What goes around, Shaq.

Lakers beat the Celtics at home 104-95, despite missing a lot of freethrows. They played a good game as Odom had 21, Mihm 19, and Kobe with 21 points.

Kings also beat the Hawks 114-104. :bonk: :applaud:

Hard to see a trade of Peja for Odom straight up. Of course Vlade and Peja are good friends so rumors of Peja joining the Lakers are all over the place but I doubt it will happen. If the Kings ship off Peja, it definately won't be to a team in the same conference, let alone the division.

Agreed. The Kings would get the short end of that deal, considering how inconsistent Odom has been throughout his entire career.

But I wouldn't complain if it happened...! :mrgreen:

DAVIS DAVIS DAVIS! C'mon! Make the deal official!

Holy crap!

HOLY CRAP!!

Okay, time to duck my head, cross my fingers, and try to pretend like this isn't important to me.

Holy Crap! Baron Freakin' Davis!!!

That'd be... you know... okay. :shocked:

Yea I know! We will have life again!!! Imagine J-Rich and Davis in the back court!!

I'd assume the W's would be getting rid of Dale Davis and maybe Speedy and a first round pick for Davis. Not too much to give up. If it goes through, I hope Davis stays healthy :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I want to keep Speedy. I really want to keep Speedy.

The guy's only problem is that he's too small for the way he plays. He keeps getting hurt.

But when he's healthy, the Warriors win.

If he and Davis could spilt time, Speedy would have a better chance of getting through the season...

AND THE WARRIORS WOULD NEVER LOSE!!!

Okay, see. I get carried away.

By the way. Murph looked good putting in time at Center tonight.

Can't wait to see how he plays against the big time bigs.

yea keeping speedy would be nice but they'd prob have to split their PG tandem for davis and fisher has a bigger contract than speedy so I'd assume speedy is more enticing. Or maybe trade Dunleavy. I like Pietrus and I think he can play a SF.

Murphy played awesome tonight. The shot wasnt there but 20 rebounds makes up for the lack of offense :woot:
