I stated that Dream NEVER got the treatment he deserved from the refs and I've also provided the objective evidence to at least statistically back...
Dream actually took more shots later in his career not less and was much more active (it was his prime), blocking more shots, and passing more...
Just for those who want dates: 1/30/97 --- the infamous day that Dream took 40 shots in Denver, hitting 50% to score 40 .... with no trips to...
Dream NEVER got this much respect. Even later in his career when he supposedly earned it according to you. The game in which he took 40 shots to...
No. read it it again. I said it wouldn't have been called flagrant --- at least not in favor of most rookies. It would have been called a foul.
You guys are acting as if I started this thread as a criticism of Yao Ming or something. Of course he's getting the calls because he's good...
I agree it was a hard foul. Hard fouls like that happen all the time ... they're just not always called flagrant in favor of rookie players....
I believe the game I referred to where Dream scored 40 without a single free throw occurred after the championship years - when he should have...

Miami's defensive strength is Alonzo Mourning (as he is the NBA's leading shot blocker). Why not let Francis penetrate? The last time Miami...
Pat Riley reacts to losing to the Rockets: http://www.miamiherald.com/content/today/sports/basketball/heat/docs/059254.htm Whatever happened to...
STUFF THE BALLOT BOX: http://allstar.nba.com/Ballot (VOTE ONLY ONCE PER DAY, OR THEY'LL VOID ALL YOUR VOTES).
Look at this probable All-star Western Conference starting five: Gary Payton Kobe Bryant Kevin Garnett Tim Duncan Shaquille O'Neal .... Anybody...
The All-star selection process doesn't take into account if a player is a Point Guard or 2 guard. You simply vote for guards. With that in mind,...
Rodney McCray still resides in Houston, I think ... or so a friend of mine has told me. This friend also told me he saw McCray playing down at...
The league has figured out Odom's game. They're taking the left side away from him (he's a southpaw). He hasn't hit the wall. He's just been...
