http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3958815 Tough news to hear. Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
I wanted this news to be posted so badly on here. It's about time someone posted it here, I found this out like 6 hours ago. I wish had member status, So I can update news faster.
You guys think Sloan and the Jazz are dirty, well this fool was as dirty as any coach ever was. Ask Mark Price about his elbow to the head concussion a few games before the season ended and the playoffs began. Truth. Wear it Chuck. Are you guys going to be this nice when Karla Malone or John Stockton comes down with some life threatening disease?
I'm willing to bet that yes, people here would have the sense to know that a person's life is more important than how they played on the basketball court. Are you a bitter Cavs fan or something?
Interesting you say that, but most of the time "Pancreatic" cancer is just hard to discover and is found late. So like all cancers, its very dependent on if he found it in time. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family and I hope every one of yall is doing some form of praying to push him through a tough time like this(dirty coach, player). He is a human being, and has family that will feel the effects all the same.
I hated the "Bad Boy" Pistons teams so much back in the day it drove me crazy. For some reason, that feeling didn't extend to Chuck Daly himself. Wish him the best in this difficult time. At least he's lived a long, full life.
I loved the Bad Boy Pistons. Loved Rodman before he became Rodman. Aguire...Thomas...Dumars...Vinnie J. I loved watching them hold off Jordan for a while...frustrating the crap out of him. Loved watch a team play team defense...remember how novel that seemed at that time?? Everyone selling out on defense....everyone filling a role. And Daly was the perfect coach for that group. Pancreatic cancer is rough....
Pancreatic cancer is deadly, it can take you in a matter of days. Looks like we might lose one of the games great coaches after losing one of its great owners this year.
I remember when the Pistons deliberately attacked and gave Mark Price his concussion knocking him out of the beginning of the playoffs. I turned to my 8 year old son and told him to never be a dirty coach like Daley or a dirty player like the Pistons. There is just something wrong with the water in this town that makes people polite and stupid. So if Osama Bin Laden comes down with cancer Houstonians will be writing nice things about him and wish him to get well? Surreal. Robert Horry: all is forgiven Karla, come kick me in the balls again! No hard feelings. Hello? Anybody home? I guess if you guys are allowed to aimlessly forgive everyone and feel good and polite about yourselves, I am just as much allowed to say "Hey, no-way! Once a douche bag, always a douche bag", especially when they never ask for forgiveness.
Are you seriously trying to say you wouldn't feel bad for Karl Malone if he came down with pancreatic cancer? Boy, you sound like a whack job comparing basketball players and coaches to Osama Bin Laden. Criticizing someone for being a dirty coach or whatever is one thing; having no sympathy for someone having a cancer that has an extremely high of FATALITY is downright heartless. You take sports way too seriously, my friend.
What about sports players who take it all too seriously - like the hockey player who seriously injured his opponent with his stick in the last year or two? Or Karl Malone? Or Bruce Bowen with a flying kick through the air on Wally? Or the refs who fix games? Like the one who went to jail. Does anyone here really want to go back to the 80's in the nba and the days of the badboys - which was like hockey in the nba? There was a reason Stern stopped it. He didn't do anything last year to the other bad refs visiting casinos. But there was a reason he stopped the violence. Ever hear Clyde talk about how much rougher things were driving into the paint? It would be interesting to count up the actual career ending injuries in basketball and all other sports and see if some are the result of unsportsmanlike conduct. Man I haven't heard that term used on a broadcast of any sport in a long time. Sports, Enron, Wall Street, politics. Here we are in the midst of the biggest mess in our nation which is pretty much the result of bad behavior which to me has become an epidemic throughout the fabric of our society. Kharma. I believe that people can get cancer because of bad or evil behavior. Don't act right, don't eat right, don't drink in moderation, mistreat other people. Perhaps some of you are afraid to say anything "bad" about Daly or other bad people because your parents taught you it was wrong to say bad things about people. Well obeying your parents is a good thing so I can't fault you for that. But to me these little threads about people who are ill seem trite. Too easy. Too polite. Dishonest.
yeah, we're "too polite". You're being an *******. I feel comfortable saying it. That's not polite at all, but I will go for it. Yet, if you posted a thread about being diagnosed with cancer or something similar in terms of gravity, I would feel bad for you and offer my sympathies. Because there are bigger things than you being an ******* on a message board or about something as small as "how do you feel about someone", and your life is one of them. And on the thread topic, I'll echo Mad Max and the post after his. G/l, Chuck..
