So apparently Lebron is working with Hakeem this offseason on his post game. He's trying to be Kobe ;)

Thats all hes doing.

He doesnt have near the work ethic Kobe has. If he did, he'd already have a post game.

Kobe's game winner at the Drew League.

Anyone see a reason the streetball leagues can't replace the NBA?

Old white people buy the majority of tickets.

Start playing in larger venues regularly with corporate sponsors, and old white people will buy the tickets.

No. Streetball is not a style of play that appeals to suburban white America, and it would not garner great corporate sponsers.

If there was great money to be made they would have done it already. The NBA already has a "race problem"

Those leagues are horribly played anyway. People complain about there being no defense in the NBA? They at least know how to fake effort.

CashmoneyDrew · 08-21-2011, 03:40 PM

I refuse to watch any game that has an annoying fat dude on the court during the game with a mic in hand trying to be the center of attention.

Please let this be true. Rick Adelman is the best bet to do something with the weird assemblage of athletes in Minnesota.

Brodeur · 08-25-2011, 06:27 PM

The Lakers hire Mike ******* Brown and the T'Wolves get Adelman? What a weird lockout filled offseason.

CC.SD · 08-25-2011, 06:40 PM

I thought Adelman and the Rox mutually parted ways so that Adelman could be something better than supervise a rebuilding program. Now he turns up on the T-Wolves door? Adelman gotta eat I guess.

let's keep going, i miss the NBA.

Lebron made a joke about his receding hairline, finally learning that making fun of yourself is the #1 way to get people to like you. Too bad it's a reminder that receding hairline is a symptom of HGH usage, oh well can't win em all.

China won't sign anyone, good for them. The players union will cave eventually.

Wade gave an interview talking about how the Chicago Bulls, his hometown team, are a SG away from contending annually. He also mentioned that the Heat were the 'NWO' and couldn't explain the hate. Reading between the lines here is pretty easy. Regrets, I've had a few...

I've never been happy for any team but the Lakers winning the championship, until this year. I honestly still have warm fuzzies for the Mavs, good job guys.

What's up with underarmor? Has everyone seen that 'freestyle' rap where the guy just insults Kobe, Lebron, etc? and it's an underarmor commercial? There's even a reference to Kobe's rape accusation, something about being a 'snake that got caught.' This thing rubs me the wrong way and I'm not even insulted for the players, it's just a bad way to advertise.

Anyway, come back soon NBA, thanks.

Kahn wanted Adelman all along. I'm sure he got ******* paid. And I think Minnesota is a much better job than Houston at this point. The Rockets have nothing...and the payroll situation doesn't look good either.

M.O.T.H. · 08-25-2011, 09:00 PM

I havent been paying attention to the labor stuff...but I'm really worried about this upcoming season.

yo123 · 08-25-2011, 09:14 PM

Rick Adelman? Awesome. Best guy on the market by a mile.

Bosanac01 · 08-26-2011, 09:53 PM

Damn what a ******* idiot. He was a great prospect coming out of high school and college.

BloodBrother · 08-26-2011, 10:54 PM

What scum.

Stephen A. Smith put it best. He's not a gangster... he was a guy playing gangster.

He was born in a middle class family who went to georgia tech. So glad he is not a laker anymore.

Looks like Adelman is the next Wolves coach.. thoughts?

Best hire of the offseason, he's a great coach.

nobodyinparticular · 09-12-2011, 05:25 PM

I hate that Rick Adelman is coaching for the Twolves. And the Kings replaced him with... Eric Musselman, Reggie Theus, Kenny Natt and now Paul Westphal.

That was a good idea.

Raiderz4Life · 09-12-2011, 05:35 PM

I wanted Adelman on the Lakers =(
