Multi-Billionaire

Pick these players up on your Fantasy while they're dirt cheap! Arron Afflalo: 15 ppg, 5 rpg, 4apg Ty Lawson: 13-15 ppg, 8 apg. Shelden Williams: 9 ppg, 7 rpg, 1 bpg (breakout for his standard) Andrew Bogut: 21 ppg, 11 rpg, 3 bpg Terrence Williams: 17 ppg Jrue Holiday: 17 ppg, 7 apg, 5 rpg Nick Young: 16 ppg Greg Oden: 16 ppg, 8 rpg, 2 bpg

Who said he's getting traded to Cleveland? Who is that drunk to suggest Denver would consider Varejao for Melo... This is getting ridiculous. I want Melo out, but not for Mr. Anderson.

^lmao Derek looks totally lean and sexy... We had this short shorts for our sports class back in high school... our guys hated them... guys openly complained about it, I got away with my previous school's semi-long shorts that somehow were allowed... Oh man, memories...

24 pts, 10 assists, 9 rebounds for Afflalo. I noticed he's really focused on being all-around on the offensive end... he is creating his own shots and always looking for open teammates. What really impresses me is he's improved his offense and is eager to do more offensively but he's doing it in the flow of the offense, and never forces shots. Ty is so quick, his shooting form has been modified slightly to raise the arc of his shot... Shelden and Forbes continue to play like they're steals, hope they can keep this up in the real season.

Thanks at least you've opened enough to respond to my posts and not ridicule them... You expressed your opinion, and I respect it.

^No matter if you're a boy or girl... your physical looks do have A LOT to do with your state of mind. "Rich" or "poor" is a state of mind. Not ALL guys who say, "I am terrible when it comes to girls" are necessarily ugly. Some of them are, in fact, good looking... but they lack self-confidence. They lack the confident guys' state of mind. Plenty good looking girls think they're fat, when they're nowhere close to fat, choose to diet like crazy, some of them develop mild-extreme dieting disorder... and in the end, they become so skinny they become so ugly. On the other hand, plenty of guys with average looks, average wealth, think they're killers when it comes to ladies, they think they're good enough and they are. Plenty of not-physically-attractive girls have these bubbly/ cute/ supportive/ funny personality that attract guys to them. Surely by now, you've heard of "it's the inside that matters, not outside"... It's inside/ the way you think/ that makes your personality/ which makes you attractive. I am not looking down on anyone, if it's ever taken that way, I apologize. Just trying to let you see that "money" is just a goal/ desire just like some of you have a desire/ goal of "women/ girls", "happiness", "family", "health", "religion"... etc. And how they're attained is the same through the state of mind.

^Real, you seriously never heard of "rich in material/ spiritual"? Do you ever feel "ugly" when it comes to the subject of girls? Of course not... you think you're hot and sexy, girls like that, and guys who don't have that confidence can learn from you, your language/ "words". Notice how different your and their words are when it comes to girls. When it comes to money though, you're like those wimpy guys who say, "I am ugly, I'll never be able to talk to girls". Don't let this poor mentality defeat you. I will only make sure you get what I'm trying to say, the rest is your decision to take it on board, or ignore it. Let's put it this way: I bet you NEVER give out money out of YOUR OWN allowance, income. If you had, you wouldn't have looked at that $10 PayPal situation this way.

Before tonight's game vs. Suns (7 preseason games): 19.9 ppg, 49.5 FG%, 41.9 3PT%, 34.9 mpg. Tonight's game vs. Suns: 24 pts, 10 assists, 9 rebounds (9-19 FG, 2-7 3PT). These are "only" pre-season games, but he's pretty consistent in these 7-8 pre-season games, never scoring more than 30 pts, and scores at least 15. Last season, he was mainly, almost exclusively a stand in the corner, catch and shoot three pt shooter... This season, he has expanded his game (and George Karl has given him green light to venture inside 3pt) to cuts to the basket, post up guards, and a little one-on-one (break down defender off dribble). His biggest improvement is the offense inside the 3 pt line... and another improvement is he is more comfortable shooting off the dribble (including 3pt), whereas last season he would have shot the ball out of rhythm if he shot it off the dribble. In fact, his offense has improved so much and it's clear that AA is focused more on his offense, that I am concerned he would have slippage in his defense. Dudley is a good defender... but I might have to watch more of his games. --- Whatever it is, if you play Fantasy (I don't), time to pick up Afflalo when he's dirt cheap... and Ty if he's cheap too... because soon/ late, Nuggets are going to trade Melo and they Nuggets are going to rely offensively on both these guys. J.R. is too inconsistent to be relied on.

^You can be "rich" in material (money, women, cars, clothes, health) or spiritual (happiness, religion) Rich is not just about "money". When you say "you're born sexy" that's rich words at least when it comes to girls/ women riches. A guy using poor words would be, "I am ugly girls hate me" They're the same. When it comes to money, you use poor words, not rich words. Good news is you can change them.

78-61 halftime. We scored 49 pts in 2nd quarter :o T Lawson: 22pts S Williams: 15pts A Afflalo: 14pts

Both are very good defenders, and both are very good 3pt shooters. Dudley is taller and maybe a bit heavier than Afflalo. Dudley has a chance to check short/ skinny PFs than Afflalo. Afflalo is a gym rat, probably is a more all-around offensive player inside the 3 pt line. Like both players but I pick my man AA I may be biased though.

When I say making money is easy it is in the intention to "encourage" people to get going. People are blanketed by fear and worries before they enter the business/ entrepreneurial world, and as a result they never get going. Am I guaranteeing you're gonna be successful with your investment/ business? No... but I GUARANTEE 100% you will NOT be successful if you do NOT do anything because all you believe about investing/ business is "they will fail" or "few people get rich", "forget it, I will never ever be rich". It's such poor words... pls don't use them if you still care about a financial aspect of your life... unless you decide to become indifferent about it. --- Real you're good with/ an expert about girls... when it comes to girls, you're "rich". You never worry about girls. And you like to help people who say "geez I suck when it comes to girls... I tried talking to girls before and I ended up making a fool of myself. I ain't gonna try again... I'm such a loser", because you feel like you're good and can help/ make a difference to those who are "not so good" with girls. That's a rich person's mentality... to help. What would you tell these guys? I bet you'd say to them, "keep trying". What would you say to the person who, instead of encouraging them, discourage them by saying, "geez dude you suck all right, get over girls... you're gonna be single your whole life... accept it."? When it comes to girls, you are a "rich" man, using "rich" words... and like to change those people who speak "poor" words when it comes to girls, such as "I can't do this... I'll fail again... I always look like a fool when I speak to girls". But when it comes to money, you scream like those people who suck at girls, "I suck when it comes to money... I tried making money before and I ended up a failure..." What's the difference between you and those guys who claim they "suck at girls"? Do you look that much better than them? Are they that much uglier than you? Are you probably much richer than them girls like you? No. No. What's the CORE difference between you and those guys? Because when it comes to girls, you say "I CAN"... and those guys say "I CANNOT". It does not matter if it's girls, money, health, happiness, they're ALL goals. And when it comes to goals, you have 2 views of life/ language, POOR and RICH: - If they're poor words, you will live poor as a result. Whether "poor" in lack of love life, lack of money, lack of ambition, lack of health/ happiness. - If you speak rich words, you will find yourself in abundance of love, money, ambition, and happiness. --- Contest me if you dare of this statement: "Anything about the future is NOT yet a fact." Anything you said about the future is NOT yet a fact!!! Unless you have a crystal ball and can read the future with 100% accuracy. In other words, everything you say about the future is a LIE because you do not know with 100% definiteness it's going to turn out the way you say it. People tend to make TERRIBLE LIES about their future: "I will NEVER be rich"... "I will FAIL if I invest"... "Forget it, I will NOT be successful." How do you know about the future? How do you know you will NEVER be rich, you will FAIL, you will NOT be successful if you don't have a crystal ball and read into the future?? Since noone knows for sure what the future holds, everything they say about the future is a LIE. But a terrible mistake people often do is they like to make TERRIBLE LIES about the future, instead of GOOD LIES. Since they are all LIES, instead of saying TERRIBLE LIES, why not tell yourself GOOD LIES, such as: "I will be rich" "I will handle failures because failures are inevitable to ANY business... and keep on going strong" "I will be successful" "I will do this successfully, I will get it done" Once you change your words from POOR to RICH words... your life instantly will take a 180 degree turn to an opposite direction from undesirable to desirable in that aspect. Try it if you DARE: - If you used to say to yourself, "I'm so clumsy, people hate me"... change it to "I'm bright, people love me". - If you used to say to yourself, "I am so stupid I always get fired"... change it to "I'm smart, I will get promoted." - If you used to say to yourself, "I am so fat and ugly"... change it to "I'm getting in shape and have good attitude and spirit about my life." - If you used to say to yourself, "I am so stupid I always get fired"... change it to "I'm smart, I will get promoted." - If you used to say to yourself, "I can't quit smoking, this is so addictive"... change it to "I am determined to quit smoking because I don't want to see myself with breathing support when I'm 55, and WILL take action now." - If you used to say to yourself, "I suck when it comes to talking to girls"... change it to "I may not be good when it comes to talking to girls, but I want to be good at this, I will find out how and I will be good when it comes to talking to girls." - If you used to say to yourself, "I will never be rich"... change it to "I may not be rich now, but I want to be rich, I will find out how to be rich and I will be rich." Will they bring instant result? Yes in terms of you feeling a tinge of difference. But no, in terms of curbing your old habits and replacing them with these new, good habits. It will take time... you will be met with some failures along the way, but they are a TEST and you have to apply this with PERSISTENCE and over time you will change. That's one big problem when it comes to riches... people want INSTANT result. But like riches in all shape (women, money, jobs, materials, health, happiness), they are your "investments" and they take time to evolve into habits.

:o :o :o This kid is... awe... some. He's the closest thing to a video game.

I always think Evans as a baby LeBron... they play similar style... LeBron likes to drive coast to coast in traffic with speed and power, it's the same with Evans. I don't know if he can be as dominant as LeBron scoring wise... and rebounding wise. The only department he could come close is assist. LeBron is the total package... Evans is a poor man's LeBron.

^Some here say I make it sound so easy I'm naive so I think it cannot be simplified more

Agreed dude

I do think he's a great Robin... efficient scorer... guys that can run screens and not dominate the ball... catch and shoot. That comes very handy next to Batmans like LeBron, Wade or dominant big like Dwight. Magic should try deal VC for KMart... I do think Dwight-KMart and other Magic cast will be devastating.

JJ Redick has fared much better.

^I was an employee for 6 years, so I have had Earned Income. I now have Passive Income... and they don't compare. I have my investment plan and I know what I'm talking about.

If Knicks land Melo, I'll be happy for Knicks... although I'd boo Melo. Knicks had always been contenders in 1990s so it feels absent without the MSG piano in playoffs... I want to see them contend again. Is it me or does Danilo intentionally play poorly in the preseason so far, so he doesn't get dealt? He's at least twice the player he's shown so far this preseason.

^Haha true dat http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Adriana-Lima-Baby.jpg These hot chics are attracted if you're an NBA scrub apparently. What do Carmelo get? LaLa

My man you do NOT get rich via WORK. ... Go to your bookstores, go to the financial section and see all the titles of the "get rich" books... Do they say "WORK LIKE HELL and GET RICH" or "WORK LIKE RICH PEOPLE"... or... ... do they say "THINK and GET RICH" or "THINK LIKE RICH PEOPLE"? The core difference between rich people and homeless men is really it: the way they think. Not their money. Money is just a measurement/ reflection of how they think financially. That is why rich people who go bankrupt (like D-Trump was once Billions of dollars in debt in 1990s) have a much greater chance to work their way up again to riches as opposed to poor/ middle class people go from 0 to riches... because rich people have a rich way of thinking that poor/ middle class people do NOT have. It's really THE ONLY THING that separates them. But can poor/ middle class people learn how rich people think? Of course... that's why you buy books and attend seminars. A simple example to look at how different rich and poor/ middle people think, when rich people have $10,000, the first thought in their mind is to turn that $10,000 into $100,000 or $1,000,000 or even more. What do poor/ middle class people do when they get lucky and hit a $10,000 lottery? The first thing in their mind is how to spend it: vacation, nights of boozes, clothes, gadgets, etc. That is why people who have 40k-60k jobs say, "I'll never be a MILLIONAIRE/ rich" because if they even manage to save $20k (a tall task, especially those that have a family), it will take them 50 YEARS to reach a $1,000,000 mark. If you want to be rich, you canNOT depend on EARNED income (aka income derived as an employee). The only way you get to be multi-millionaire via EARNED income is if you're a pro-athlete getting paid millions a year... or if you're a doctor/ lawyer getting paid 250k-500k/ year... but are most people athletes/ doctor/ lawyer? No. That is why you have to seek a different income. Incomes that MAKE YOU RICH: - Portfolio income (businesses, stocks, etc) - Passive income (rent, song, book, etc) These incomes are money-making machines... because they make money for you while you sleep. --- But this is not to say all employees do not have a chance to be rich. Those who treat their jobs as TEMPORARY jobs... building fund, and then turning their fund (Earned income) into Portfolio/ Passive incomes. E.g. Tim is an accountant but his heart and passion is really in owning a small restaurant (Portfolio)... he has laid out plans and he knows the money upfront to build a restaurant is $30,000... the rest of money is via bank loan. But he has $0. So, what he can do is work like hell as an employee (as an accountant) for 1-2 years until he gets the $30,000 in savings and then commit that $30,000 for his business. The bank agrees to give the loan and therefore he gets his restaurant built. It takes 1-2 years to make that dream happen... but he got it done! Tim never treated his accountant job as PERMANENT but rather TEMPORARY. He knew, although he's very good at accounting, his heart had always been about building and owning his own restaurant... he did it. Jobs can be full time, part time, casual... as long as you lay out your plans and work towards its attainment. That is why investing is your plan, and most people think investing is Wall Street... "buy stocks, pray they go up the next day/ week, get rich in less than 1 month". It doesn't work that way. Investing is your plan. If you love goldfish, set up an aquarium shop... if you love dogs, set up a pet shop or service center that takes care of dogs... if you love clothing, set up a clothing business... if you love cars, set up an automobile shop. Don't know how? Find out! If you're really keen and it's your true passion, you'll want to work in the businesses that you love and find how it works inside out. E.g. if you dream in owning a restaurant one day, you can always apply to be a kitchen hand, then if your passion in food shows, then you might be promoted to assistant chef... learn how to cook, learn how the business of restaurant is run... etc. I have been a kitchen hand/ help chef for 5-6 years and I have a better chance of investing and running a restaurant than someone who wants to multiply his money by investing in something he randomly chooses... because through 5-6 years of cooking and being in the kitchen, you got exposed and see firsthand how it's done. --- There's no guarantee of success if you decide to build a business, in fact, EVERY business in its development will be faced with a minor/ major failure... it's up to YOU to keep on going with your investment/ plan (it's your LOVE and PASSION that will get you through like Real Deal kept building the OTR back up even after it got repeatedly hacked)... or quit in the middle of the road. It's important to have a genuine passion/ love in what you do... or at least be knowledgeable about it... if you want to be successful.

^Because, again, money making is easy... but people tend to overcomplicate things. They think it is HARD why? Because the only way majority of people know how to make money is: via working/ job. Anything else is "beyond their reality"... when it's actually very well within their reality. Majority of people want "assurance", "security", and "safety"... that's why they take the safest choice, job with long-term security... but abundant riches do not go hand-in-hand with security.... abundant riches will come to people who seek freedom (not security) in their lives. People say "investing is risky"... of course it is... IF you don't educate yourself. Stock investing: If you have a chance to invest your money in 1.) shares of Lakers or in 2.) shares of some random chinese team in Chinese League? Which one would you invest your money in? Of course, in the organization that you have most knowledge in... knowledge about the organization: how good the team is, you know the personnel: coaches, players, etc. Would you invest in Facebook or MySpace? This is all common sense. You don't know about a certain company and want to invest in their shares? Don't guess, don't hire an expert to give you "hot tips"... that's where people lose their money. Research and find it yourself! Real estate investing: - That spare room in your house/ apartment can be rented to get a passive income... - That $250/week apartment that consists of 3 rooms, you know each room can be rented for $150/ week. If you rent all rooms, you get a profit of $200/week ($450 - $250). Ask tenants to pay their own bills. A $200/ week income is $870 per calendar month income with you not working. And it's just one property. - You can buy a $600,000 property which consists of 2 rooms, and turn it into 3 rooms and sell if for $800,000. $200,000 capital gain profit in less than 5 months. - You can buy a $600,000 property, 90% loan from bank, and rent the rooms and essentially making the tenants pay for your monthly mortgage... Of course, not all properties will give you a $870/ month income... or not all properties can give you a $200,000 capital gain profit if you simply just add a room. It all depends on the LOCATION... e.g. near city suburbs will probably have an average rental of $250/ week for 1 room, whereas those located 10-15 miles/ further from city only rents for $100-150/ week. In investing, you have to KNOW first before you DO. Too many clueless people say, "I have $30,000 to invest... what do you suggest I invest in?" --- Another common mistake to most people is not knowing the difference between Assets and Liabilities. Simple defined: - Assets PUT money in your pocket. - Liabilities TAKE money our of your pocket. So before you say your house, your car, your HDTV, your PS3 are your assets because "I lovveeeeee them very much"... think again. They're in fact liabilities... because they TAKE money out of your pocket. People then will say, "houses in my area have a steady increase in value... and in 10 years it will double the money I purchased it for."... yes... but will they actually sell it? Until they sell it, they will not realize the profit... and what do most people do after they buy their "dream home"? They keep it forever. So for as long as they own the house, paying the mortgage every month, the house is deemed as a liability because it TAKES money out of their pocket every month. Bankers will say "your house is an asset" but they do not tell you WHOSE asset it really is. It is THE BANK's asset... because you're paying the mortgage every month to the bank. Every item that you own right now is a liability because they cost/ at one point cost you money... they TAKE money out of your pocket. That's why people bought house/ nice cars/ boats/ shoes/ expensive clothes because they thought they're ASSETS... when they're really LIABILITIES. Before they know it, they dedicate a HUGE chunk of their lives just to catch up with their credit cards and bills they used to pay for these "assets". But these liabilities can be instantly turned into assets IF you rent/ sell them. If you have to pay $2000 mortgage (including tax and insurance) for your house every month, but your it has 2 spare rooms, if you can rent the 2 rooms for a combined of $3000 every month, that means it gives you $1000 every month without you working. This when an item is called an ASSET because it PUTS money in your pocket. --- Investing is a plan... usually a long term plan. Don't be deceived/ lured by the "get rich quick Wall Street" style/ stock investing and get rich in 1 day... it doesn't happen... unless you're extremely lucky and you actually count entirely on luck for your financial life. It is easy and simple but you have to have the knowledge in what you're investing. You can't just try to sell a product/ be in a business you don't have any knowledge in. Real, do you think you can invest in a computer shop business, which I assume a field that you have a lot of knowledge in? Or would you rather invest your money in a restaurant business... which I assume a field that you have very little of knowledge in... unless your brother Terry can actually give some knowledge that he has from being a pizza chef... It is you (the investor) who is really the asset or liability, not the stock/ business. Buffet bought failing businesses seemingly at the end of their business lives with little - 0 hope, and turned them into powerhouses... one of them is a $150 billion worth Berkshire Hathaway. But some bought a business with seemingly bright prospects in a hot location... and destroys the business. Whether something is an asset or a liability really depends on you as the investor/ owner. --- Lastly, people live in 2 worlds: - World of financial scarcity - World of financial abundance People in world of scarcity will say, "do you think money grows on trees?"... "do you think I'm made of money?"... "I can't afford it"... "making money is hard... work is the only way you make money". People in world of abundance will say, "don't worry about money. If we do the right things, there will always be plenty of money."... "don't let not having money be an excuse for not getting what you want."... "making money is easy if you love what you're doing, know it, and invest your time and money in it." Scarcity and security go hand in hand. That is why people who seek job security or guarantees are often the people with less abundance in their life. As long as you live in world of scarcity, you will always think that riches are for those who "get extremely lucky"... that you're not worth the riches... etc etc. Change the way you think... if you are not already in world of abundance.

Just like Kournikova who's done with tennis but continuing modeling.
