    Theres no way it is that low. NBA must be counting like every 3rd vote as one vote or something, otherwise Yao would be getting 10 million votes or something.

    Even last year they said that Yao got more paper votes than internet votes cause of the whole Shaq vs Yao thing and that it's biased and that's the only way Yao is starting over Shaq.

    Well, Pop said (jokingly) on NBA TV today that he would play Duncan and Manu only about 4-5 minutes but will play Tracy and Yao for 47 minutes because they (Spurs) will play Rockets next Wednesday and they have lost to Rockets twice this season.

    The Rookie vs. Sophomore game is terrible! The all star game, although boring, is 10 times better than this POS!:mad:

    Did you just hear Iverson? - "It's tough, cause, this whole lifestyle is tough." - Give me an F'N Break - send him my condolences for only making $15+/- million a year. Get lost creep! :confused: :mad:

    Don't even get me started on that pompous ass....he had a party here at Live one night....basically the biggest ass you have ever seen. Met a lot of athletes having this bar, he is to this day the only one that didn't say hi or be cordial at all....

    Basically had a crap load of people waiting here at live for him to make his enterance...he shows up at 1:30 with all his body guards who push everybody out of the way...all the fans that waited there for him mind you.

    So he sits down with Scarface who did the party with him cause of the record label they did together. Scarface is being nice to everyone saying hi, met with me and said thank you for having us here...took a picture with me and went about his business.

    Iverson just stood there in a circle of body guards people coming just to say hi and his guards push them back over and over and saying no pictures at all with me.

    Then heres the great part...he turns to someone then they turn to me and ask me where their FREE drinks are. They want some drinks and want them now.....At that point i was like ???? so i said NO...you make that much money and you expect me to give you free drinks all night for you and your boys....so eventually they got pissed off and thank god left the place....He knew who i was and not once said hi or made eye contact with me to say anything....

    Complete ass and he has topped them all as far as athletes i have met (or not met)

    Thanks for the story Stack! Sound like what I'd expect from the jerk-off.

    Melo wins MVP of the Rookies Challenge? :confused:

    I think Bosh has a better statistics than Melo.

    Bosh - 26 pts (9/13 shooting), 14 rebs, 3 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 0 turnovers, EFFICIENCY=42

    Melo - 31 pts (13/18 shooting), 5 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals, 0 block, 2 turnovers, EFFICIENCY=32

    Bosh is being screwed...:(

    That "jerk-off" is 5'10" and throws himself at 7 footers to try to make his team better. You might say, well "I'm his size and I'd do the same thing for 15 mil a year" but if you can do that and score 29 pts a game, then yeah you can say something. Until then, give the man the respect he is due, and stop talking about AI like you know him just cuz you read a coupe of stories on him. If you guys dont want people to think of our players based on one or two stories they read a year, dont do the same to other players

    I never said i don't respect him as a player on the court. That is all fine and dandy.

    I have had a first hand experience with him and he acted like no other athlete that has come into my bar.

    Just cause your a great athelete doesn't mean you carry yourself like a good person.

    Trust me i have met enough athletes to just say from first hand experience he has been the rudest of them all.

    As a player he is phenominal...not doubt...i never questioned that....just the way he acted is what i put into question and i have a right to say that...

    Like i said before all of them have been totally nice and had a good experience with them.

    If i had to pick anyone that i was the coolest with was Stacey Mack. The guy always came in during parties had a good time...when i saw him out he would buy me drinks and invited me to numerous Bar B Q's at his house.

    Like wise Jonathan Wells and Cory Bradford were always really cool and they were just like Stacey. They all gave me their numbers so if i wanted to hang out when they through parties etc.

    Robert Horry was a class act. I let him in through the Side door when we had a party...i just said hello to him and later he made it a point to come up to me and thank me for letting him in and offered to buy me a drink.

    Francis and Mobley were always nice as well....always said hello to everyone and enjoyed there time and never thought they were any higher than people.

    Honestly there are so many more i can name that i have met and chilled with but those off the top of my head have to be the nicest ones since interacted with all of them usually on a weekly basis when they would call before they stopped by.

    Other than that every other one that has come by was great. I could probably list a long line of people but that would bore the forum lol.
