I was taking a look around the net tonight trying to get away from the constant trade deadline that wasn't news when I found this piece: http://www.thepostgame.com/features...-jeremy-lin-tim-tebow-nba-cleveland-cavaliers It basically claims that numerology can predict future success and misfortunes of players. It goes on to explain that most of the great players of the NBA's date of birth added up to 11. Adversely, a player who's date of birth added up to the number 7 was bad luck. Even worse if they are born on the 7th, 16th, or 25th of any month since they all add up to 7. Ie: Michael Jordan- 2/17/1963- 2+1+7+1+9+6+3= 29. 2+9= 11. Brandon Roy- 7/23/1984- 7+2+3+1+9+8+4= 34. 3+4= 7. Okay, so I don't believe this stuff but I thought it would be fun to see what kind of fortunes our own Rockets players' dates of birth add up to. Here's what I got: Our normal guys: Martin 2/1/1983= 6 Patterson 3/14/1989= 8 Dragic 5/6/1986= 8 Bud 5/22/1988= 8 Lee 10/3/1985= 9 Williams 6/28/1987= 5 Camby 3/22/1974= 10 Our future stars: Morris 9/2/1989= 11!! Greg Smith 1/8/1991= 11!! Fisher 8/9/1974= 11!!?? Our bad news guys: Scola 4/30/1980= 7 Dalembert 5/10/1981= 7 Parsons 10/25/1988= 7 Lowry 3/25/1986= 7 Of those guys, Lowry and Parsons are also born on the 25th Just so you know: Flynn 2/6/1989= 8 Hill 7/27/1987= 5 Also, want proof this actually works??? Hasheem Thabeet 2/16/1987= 7 Also born on the 16th So according to this, we should trade both Lowry, Scola and Parsons as soon as possible. Play Morris and Greg Smith more and...uh...Fisher...too... Obviously, this is only for fun but what say you? Oh, and by the way. This guy is actually trying to look for a job with an NBA team...
"Scouts go look at every single aspect, 30-yard dash, how much they can bench press, but they never look at the birthdays, and when you look at birthdays, you can tell chemistry,"
Parsons should be ok, if what he says in that article holds up. Parsons was born in the year of the Dragon, which might also explain why he's doing so well for a rookie this year. "The only seven lifepath I have ever seen not be injury prone is Tim Duncan," Grinberg says. "I believe it has something to do with the fact that he is born in the Year of the Dragon. Dragons are the toughest physically out of all the astrology signs, period. I would love to know what time Tim Duncan was born. That would help explain the why."
Jeez. Lighten up. Nobody here has said they think this is legit. It's just something to talk about instead of retreading the same opinions about the same subjects over and over again.
Yeah, my post wasn't directed at you, I just wonder how someone could even come up with something as silly as this.
Lowry wears the number 7 jersey so that cancels everything out. Plus, he's from Philly and went to Villanueva so he just don't give a ****.
This is ultra stupid, but I'm still glad you posted it. Lol @ explaining the Kobe/Shaq and Sloan/Deron fallouts based only on their birth year.
Dream's number would be 5. Therefore, any truly great player must have number 5. You're welcome, please pay the lady on the way out.
