He's allowed to be poppin' bottles. This is the NBA. It's summa time. I don't know if he's in shape, but James has never been a player that looks ripped. I don't think it's the way he's built. He's able to play at a high level regardless, but I hope he never ends up on some Derrick Coleman diet. Some guys just work out like crazy during the off-season with the intention of building muscle. If James were too much heavier, he wouldn't be as quick. Despite his injuries, Dwight has always seemed to be in amazing shape. Those shoulders would destroy anything. Shoot, even Chris Paul thought he was climbing a mountain at the free throw line during the playoffs, when he decided to climb up Dwight like Mt. Everest. He and Jet got the crew together for a mini-camp, so I'm assuming all is well with his conditioning. If not, there's plenty of time. We're not dealing with Eddy Curry, Antoine Walker, Thomas 2 Sammiches Hamilton, Stanley Roberts, Chandler Parsons or Tracy McGrady :grin:. BTW....was that recent pic of a chubby TMac legit? That's sad. We all know that Tracy didn't like to practice, but if his stomach is hitting all directions of the compass, he needs to stop eating with Rozay at WingStop. Anyway, live it up, Beard. Just come back ready to destroy the league and that cocky, entitled, media darling, wannabe MVP, Stephanie Curry. Yeah, I wrote it. I'm not a fan, and I don't care how precious his daughter is. James was the MVP and Draymond Green isn't worth his contract. /rant
Did you like Rodeo? I thought it was decent, but a little over-hyped with Mr. West in the background. In the least, it brought a new sound to hip hop, so I guess that's refreshing. If I hear one more "Uhhhgh" from Rick Ross, or T-Raww and Chief "Bang Bang" Keef too much more, I'm quitting lol. Looking forward to some new Nas, Slaughterhouse and my homie Joe Budden. Joey is underrated, as is Royce and King Crooked. Joell's latest joint was beautiful. My bad, off on a hip hop tangent. Going to watch some comedy: The Republican Debate is on. Popcorn ready.
Stephen Curry is the best value in the history of sports when comparing performance to salary ratio. End of story.
Hey, Harden had the sense not to try to drive. Ty could have benefited from that kind of influence. Seriously, do you want the entire TEAM to stop drinking because the new guy has an alcohol problem? Ty needs to solve that on his own.
BREAKING NEWS: 25 year old single man worth $200,000,000 gets intoxicated while off work and partying in Manhattan.
Rodeo was kind of underwhelming imo. The songs all kind of run together and Travis doesn't really add anything to the beats. The 'drugged out' trap sound that he and Future have been doing is getting played out imo.
The dude is just doing what regular 26 year old guys would do... I don't understand why some people are so uptight about this? It's not like he was drinking on the "job" or drinking and driving like Lawson. Basketball players are people too, and I'm sure most of them want to experience somewhat of a normal life every now and then. Reminds me of how some people gave Howard such a hard time for going to Comic-Con instead of working on his game or his freethrows. Ridiculous. It's like they aren't allowed to do anything else but play basketball, eat, and sleep. So cheers Beard! Drink to your heart's content.
James Harden needs to be matured. This is also why he can put up 40pts game one night and then next night delivers 13 TOs nightmare. Obviously Curry is more matured than Harden.
I mean I feel you on that, but overall Curry has obligations which I guess make him matured. I mean he has a wife and kids. Harden on the other hand, has a girlfriend I am sure a lot of us don't like hehe. :grin:
