[Al Bundy]

Looks like James Harden has been To the Rockets for Jeremey Lamb, Kevin Martin and future picks. Plus... this is a general NBA thread.

Chris Sheridan tweeted out an interview he did with Kobe and asked him about Howard being moved and Kobe pretty much made it obvious he doesn't care either way. It's clear he wants him gone but I just can't imagine the Lakers moving him

To where? Brooklyn has nothing L.A. wants...

Nobody plays defense for the entire game (or even tries at all for that matter) and then Kobe chooses that moment to make some kind of bullshit statement and clown LeBron in an All-Star Game. Yeah, real impressive stuff. Enjoy sitting out of the postseason this year with the rest of the Laker underachievers, you jackass.

Wade did the same thing to Kobe last year, hell, he drew blood. Melo did the same thing to him at the end of the first half. Tried like hell not to let him get off a shot.

I agree with a lot of your takes, but your are biased as **** when it comes to LeBron, Kobe, Harden and Artest. Three can do no wrong, and one can do nothing right lol

Doesn't make it any less of a dick move. Wade is a prick just like Kobe. Probably even more so.

Because it was a dick move in an AS game designed only to feed into his ego and inflate his own image at a time where LeBron least expected it. Am I wrong?

And during their last run, they weren't the 96/97 team anymore. The Pacers went toe-to-toe with them in 98, that was an epic series. 99 was a shortened season though so that would've helped them.

agree about the Pacers but MJ almost hit a miracle game 6 winner (that would have been insane) and then they blew them out of the water in game 7.

As for his first retirement...I don't know, I really don't think anyone was touching the Bulls with a focused MJ in the mid 90s...we'll never know though

My boy Bosh? Bosh is one of my least favorite players in the NBA for many reasons. Can't say I saw the play you're talking about (I wasn't watching this game closely at all, it's a ****ing AS game that nobody tries in), but that does sound like him.

I must have been really confused when Artest elbowed Harden in the head, then.

Well, he was the reason OKC won that series.
