    1) he's still Jewish, he still trades stock, and he's from NY
    2) he doesn't know when to sell stock b/c he held the majority of his equity in one dogsh1t stock and never sold it while it dropped to zerooo
    3) half the nba owners are Jewish, so i guess all those teams' problems are those owners fault too :rolleyes:

    wow LEARN TO READ

    OP said Les was formerly Jewish. Now that he spends time in Houston, has traded up to a comely southern blonde woman, etc he's left that all behind

    please read before posting self righteous replies

    Even though I'm with the rockets no matter what, he did Barkley dirty and his antics clearly show he was aiming for exciting/popular players. Tmac/Yao

    Agreed, i think he was trying to solidify his argument on the fact that jewish people are steriotyped as being cheap

    swear to God, I had nothing racial on my mind when I was creating this thread. I can not edit my threat, administrators, please delete that word 'Jewish'.

    Did not expect so many are trying to make a pure basketball post ugly, looks like Alexander has quite a few sons whose names are not on his leagal family paperwork.

    Kid, there are over 38,000 members now, with countless others that aren't members, but read the board. It is very clear why you mentioned Alexander's religion. It was anything but a "pure basketball post." As for editing, if you sent Clutch a few bucks, you could clean up your mess. Personally, and paraphrasing an old joke of Groucho's, I wouldn't join a religion that would have me as a member, but I find it offensive, regardless, as do many others here. Maybe an apology and a request to close the thread are in order, if an admin even wants to bother with it. Up to you.

    Are you FREAKIN' KIDDING? It's Les' fault? Listen as the owner of this franchise, it is Les' prerogative to have the players that he wishes to have on his payroll. I think Les understands the game of basketball and he also understands what direction he wants his organization to go in. If you are a true fan, shut up and root for the Rockets and the guys on the team. I mean, I don't like guys from Duke and I have never been a Battier fan, but I root for Shane because he plays for my favorite team, the Houston Rockets. So for all of you haters, go away and get a life. Stop making up reasons to bash T-Mac...

    Neg reps should be allowed whenever there's a post with McGrady in it.

    Dude, out of curiosity, what the heck is wrong with him being Jewish? Why does that matter to you? It's like saying "It is all Les Alexander's fault, the former black stock trader", see? Why does it make a difference to you?

    BTW, imo, Les is a GREAT owner. Be glad we don't have the Clippers owner.

    Tears on your keyboard?

    It's odd that he mentioned Les' religion and New Jersey but he didn't make any bigoted remarks. It's probably weirder that people feel they need to project all kinds of things onto the post because I guess it's prohibited to even mention that he's a Jew? Shut down the board I guess if anyone mentions Yao is Chinese or that Dream is Muslim.

    This thread was funny when people were making cracks about the post but what will placate you? Will a formal apology to the ADL and resignation of his membership do it for you or do you need a pound of his flesh?

    Although the fact he is jewish probably had nothing to do with OP being mad at him, he was incredibly stupid in putting it in. However, it isn't the end of the world and he already claimed he shouldn't have done it. That being said I know there is a diff between the garm and the D&D, but blightexxx and basso's posts are far more derogatory and make tihs guy look like a saint. :eek:
