Your point is well taken. You are right that honor is a complicated issue, and not at all a simple concept. And it means different things to...
(But no booing the pick. Mario has earned the right to be there.)
So ... did it occur to anyone else that ... well, maybe if the Rockets had tanked a little harder as so many people wanted, THEY might've drafted...
Red Glare - have really enjoyed your posts. I have been troubled by the many posts that are so quick to dismiss pride or honor as being...
The Spurs have stayed dominant in part because they drafted Manu Ginobili with a 57th pick and Tony Parker with a 28th pick. Why does that part...
My favorite passage: "My howl from the couch alarmed the entire family. I'm not sure my explanation to them hit home, and I don't know that I...
Great article. Remember this players poll in SI from February (based on 248 players)? The best part of this is how his explosion occurred...
My thought exactly. Nine out of ten times, a broken bone is far better than a torn ligament. (Although foot and hand breaks can be tricky.)...
Cripes! God really does mysterious ways. He's testing us. What does Yao's foot injury mean? Pro-tank camp: See? This is exactly why you...

I certainly hope we get as high a draft pick as possible and am not suggesting that there is something great about getting 2nd round steals just...
Well I agree. I want to win as much as anyone, but I want to win with honor. Tanking games is cancerous. Can you imagine if a team's management...
I am surprised to see what I recognize as some usually smart posters going along with the "tank the remaining games" bandwagon. I think it's a...
I just cannot believe anyone is seriously suggesting that our guys should tank games for draft position. Competitive fire isn't something you...
My apologies, you're right -- I meant it all in good fun, really. Seriously, nothing personal (couldn't be since I don't know you, and, in fact,...
Ditto dat. C'mon folks, even superstars need a few games to adjust when you completely change the team on them, which is basically what's...
OK, I DEFINITELY HAD TOO MUCH EGGNOG BECAUSE I JUST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR LAUGHING AFTER READING THIS POST.
