Flight

Kendrick deserves the "Ugliest drive to the hoop in the history of the finals" award for that... and he only drove about 5 feet.

No, Ray Allen is.

haha yep [expletive] Ray is out of his mind right now. Do I hear 8 for 8 and 30 in the first half?

Ray Ray Let's see how he does with Kobe on him.

Shannon on there a bunch... Iggy's were sick, but I tihnk Corey Brewer's is my favorite from the year.

I think he has a chance at being an all star once or twice... but I think he's just too much of a score-only player and he isn't even showing signs that he can be a 20 ppg guy yet.

I want the Celtics to win this but damn... I love Shannon Brown.

Yeah, I can only imagine what it's going to be like on opening day next year (I'd keep both guys in the minors until next year personally), with Strasburg throwing out the first pitch to Bryce Harper.

[expletive] LeBron's gonna get chills seeing that.

I saw this yesterday haha, so good

I really hope All Day addresses his hands this offseason... I think he fumbled 922 times last year.

As much as fans of the Packers and Bears are telling me to be worried about the Vikings, I'm just not buying it. Even if Favre doesn't come back, I think Minnesota can make the playoffs in this division. With Favre, it might as well be a lock. http://i46.tinypic.com/2pz0lj4.jpg Any of you Packers/Bears/Lions (please no Lions fans thinking playoffs...) fans think the Vikings are gonna miss out on the playoffs?

I think Celtics adjust and win this one by a small margin. Rondo's gonna go off, and I think we'll see Pierce score some key baskets with Artest on him.

Trade him for Turkey Glue? Both horrid contracts, but at least Hedo can take a seat. Gil gives Toronto a marquee player if Bosh leaves, and they have a hole at PG. People keep coming to games, he takes the scoring pressure off the young guys like Weems, DeRozan, Bargs, etc. and still lets the Raptors compete as they rebuild. idk how willing either party would be, but I can see it happening. Does Arenas have a NTC?

Cheers. Thank you AP Macroeconomics, and the brain that God gave me haha.

1.) Rich people are rich because they know how to use "leverage" for them. What are those forms of leverage? a. Other people's time b. Other people's money c. Other people's talent/ resources d. All of the above. 2.) If you want to be rich, you must know how to make "money work for you", not the other way around (work for money). What is the best example of "money works for you" below? a. David is a full time worker and buys car, houses, boats for his private use b. Bill works three jobs and he saves $1000 a month c. Tom buys a $15,000 boat and rents it for $1,500 a month.

Jeff buys $20 lottery ticket every week in hope someday he can cash in the big money. 3.) Which one view below that rich people have in common? a. "Investing is risky so stay away" b. "Investing is not risky if you educate yourself financially. It is risky if you don't." c. "Investing is gambling. Some days you get rich, some days you don't. So beware." d.

Because it's only thing you gotta do to be rich. 6.) Bill's job pays him $100,000 a year. He likes to buy cars, boats, italian suits, silverware, and expensive items for his private use. Bill is a shop-aholic, he likes new things because they "smell nice" and pays them mostly on credit card. He works full time endlessly just to pay bills, and he can't afford to get fired because if he does then he'll be declared bankrupt and have his items seized. Within two years, his company went down and his job was gone. Bill had to sell everything he had, even his house, and now he lives in a rental apartment with barely anything besides bed and fridge. What happens to Bill's financial life? a. His company went bankrupt, plain and simple. It's his company's fault Bill's financial life in shambles. He's innocent. b. His company didn't pay him enough/ he needs more than $100,000 a year. c. He thought when he bought cars, boats, italian suits, he thought he bought assets when those are really liabilities/ items that a person buys for private use/ depreciating in value.

Basically the same like most people in society, trying to get that 9-5 job when his basketball days leave him.

They ran into bad luck. c. They hang out with the people who fleeced them their money. It's the fault of the people around them. d. A case of poor people who stumble on big money in an instant and although they've become rich physically, they remain poor in their heart mentally, because all they've known about money all their life is "a problem of not enough money". So once they have money, they only know ONE THING what to do about it, and that is TO SPEND. It's a case of getting to the top (getting rich) but not knowing how to stay on the top (remain rich). 15.) The one that truly determines whether an investment is risky or not is: a.

Unforgivable and unheard of. d. Opportunities to learn from and get better in the next ventures. In fact, they firmly believe you're not truly successful until you've made mistakes/ failed at least once.

As athletic as he is, I can see him scoring a good 15 points a game, a lot of them from cuts and alley oops. I need to stop speculating haha, Hornets always draft someone I really don't want, but last year both guys turned out pretty good haha.

I'd love to see the Hornets take him at 12 and have a stud SF to fill out the lineup nicely. Paul Thornton George West Okafor with a bench of Collison Peterson/Posey Stojakavic/Wright Diogu/Songaila Marks/Gray Solid starting lineup and bench backcourt/wings.

Haha just imagine. Chalmers Wade James Bosh MLE with Beasley and whoever else off the bench, and a bunch of LLE signings.

Huh, kind of surprising but I'll miss him in Oregon and welcome him to one of my other favorite teams haha.

Seriously, it'd be so bad in the East... who knows what Boston will be like in a couple years, Magic are good but Dwight isn't enough to even compare to what this would be.

I know it's been said and I'm no novel thinker for saying this, but with his length and quickness he can definitely be an Ariza type defender if he puts in the time with a good defensive coach.

Orton seems like a total bust to me... idk about Cole, but IMO he'd be a better fit for a big. idk if it'd be smart to draft another SG/SF... personally I think the need is at PF/C unless a PG like Bledsoe seems to be worth that high of a pick.

I better get the next KIR, never had one on here 1. Why is Smitty so amazing? 2. Why are you so amazing? 3. Is Paul George the real deal? 4. Is Brandon the real deal?

I'm surprised he didn't suggest putting all 5 guys on him. Hell, he won't score if he's quintuple teamed.
