    i think it has to do with the whole "ebonics" thing. remember when 1 university tried to make ebonics a foreign language?

    I'd say Kobe is probably the most eloquent African American player in the league.

    quit that PC stuff. just because one sees differences between races doesn't mean he's a racist.

    1. The original guy was quoting a skit and should have said so.
    2. If he wasn't quoting a skit, equating bad grammar with a certain race is very much a racist thing to do.

    The whole point of going to college is to make yourself eligible for a good job to make lots of money. If you have the opportunity to do so right out of highschool then no, you dont not need no college from none nobody.

    I love TMAC and he gives 100% effort in the playoffs but sometimes it really seems like he has the wrong attitude.

    However he needs to do it to stay sane is OK for me though.

    Nice, short, sweet interview. I'm glad that not just the fans, but the players themselves, are hyped for the season and expect to accomplish great things. After seeing T-Mac (and the rest of the bench) react so passionately to Ron's 3 point dagger against the Mavs, I felt pretty good and reassured that the Rockets are out to show the NBA how it's done regardless of what obstacles they may face this season.

    Very positive! It's why he uses double-negatives in his sentences.

    Actually, "most healthiest" wouldn't be correct gramatically. You would just have healthiest - there is no most healthiest. Or conversely, it should be "This is the most healthy team that I've been on in my 12 years." I'm no grammar expert so I don't remember what rules apply to this.

    You are free to express yourself, but I am sure most of the people here would rather make 20 million a year.
    I think women care more about looking, the way of talking, etc...no?

    What's wrong with "I don't believe in no pressure"?

    At the end of the day, people are judged by what he has achieved, not the way he talks.

    You, sir, need to turn on your sarcasm detector.
