    Lost me when it brought race into it.

    But the Chad Ford parts are golden.

    Darko was a huge douchebag. I'm glad he failed, and failed miserably.
    He will forever be known as the laughingstock of the 2003 NBA draft.

    A large portion of your 20's....and, yet, you argued with me about Ginobody. And he's not even European.

    I've been arguing about this **** since AroundTheWorld was DetTheShrimpf or sumpin like that.

    RUBIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is as good as Magic Johnson.

    It is about race, though.

    I can't believe white people deny this, when everyone I know talks about this in racial terms.

    It's insane how much race is a part about this discussion ... I hear it all the time.

    Don't tell me white people don't bring up race about this.

    We do!

    Be careful. You will get banned if you keep posting true stuff about the level of NBA and Euroleague.

    He made simple straight-forward commentary. Such as - how a guy like Patrick Beverley could fit a role in the NBA. Very general, but level-headed.

    YOU on the other hand DISCOUNT Beverley and claim he was 6th in depth chart in all European league team and act like he "showed nothing". All so you can prove some "I'm The Only One That WATCHES Euro Games" credential. Now all of a sudden you're taking up for Beverley when he's repping the Euro leagues, trying to have it both ways.

    He had a rational and HUMBLE way. YOU DON'T have a SHRED of HUMILITY. And thats WHY YOU GET SHREDDED. (If Croatian isnt you doubled up) perhaps can learn from there how to dial it down some.
