Naw, he's just one of today's average NBE players. No better, no worse. And that's just one of the reasons imo the league is not worth watching anymore.

But I watched parts of two games this past week and saw a carry called in one and traveling called twice in the other! Something weird is going on.

Don't even try...a lot of people here don't like the NBA game (as is their right) as they feel it's all "entertainment" to them. Some on here even go so far as to call it the WWE (by calling it NBE).

I was at the Christmas day game. It was more like a full twelve. Bob Delaney rung him up. He had bounced the ball twice and wasn't even starting his motion.

How dumb do ya have to be to get rung up THREE TIMES for that violation in the same season?

I've always thought of the NBE as the NB A-E.... a combination of the A and the E. If it was fully like the E in WWE, then Donaghy was right!

At least he got in his "two cents worth."

PS - I have Tix to the Hawks and Wizards tonight in the ole "phone booth" in DC - lower section. They're practically giving the Tix away......for obvious reasons.

Didn't Kentucky Fried Chicken do this several years ago?

I didn't believe it back then. I thought it was an April Fool's Day Joke.

Did you hear about the FIBA official, from Norway, who is only three feet, four inches (1.016 meters) tall? His name is Loof Lirpa.

Is he an Oompa Loompa?

If so, let the record show that I've been a proud member of PETOL for many, many years. I joined to support both Chuck Elias and RockyRoad from further exploitation.
