    the bbs, in relation to me, is kind of like The Word. it was in the beginning, and it will be in the end. . . which is to say that I've only been around since like July.

    my question:

    has there ever been any other issue on the bbs that was as divisive as the hakeem/rockets breakup?

    the prospect of the breakup is what brought me around to this place to begin with.

    I'm just curious to know if any other issue has ever been this way, and if so, what was it?

    Barkley body-slamming Shaq. Half the board said that was another sign of Barkley being a classless, cheap shot punk who never picks a fight with someone his own size. The other half promised their first born to Charles.

    it's hard to imagine that inspiring the same furor. interesting, though.

    There was (and will be) the battle of those wanting to tank a season for more lottery balls vs. those that didn't want to tank.

    This one has come around every year for the past few. We're already hearing the rumblings for tanking this season.

    How is body-slamming someone who's a full head taller than you considered a "cheap shot???" It's not like he body-slammed Muggsy Bogues.

    Now the basketball off Shaq's face - maybe that was a cheap shot.

    A certain presidential election from last year comes to mind.

    Also, the Quitten signing had it's detractors.

    Nothing could ever rival the beatdowns I used to publicly give CriscoKidd. The whole BBS was divided by the two camps. Not the Crisco and rimmy camps, but the "rimmy slapping Crsico around" and the "rimmy pimp slapping Crisco around" camps.

    It was ugly. He cried a lot.

    Sir Charles sure tought Shaq a lesson. Any other player would've gotten killed or would've chickened out.

    I think we were all under the same heading on Stoudamire -- we all wanted him . . . but that little b!tch David Aldrige and his ESPN friends screwed it up for us . . . well, we have Francis now, so that's good, but damn, we might have won that year's championship with Stoudamire, Dream, Barkley and Drexler . . .
