NBA fans

[5ivespeed]

Just wanted to see if there are any NBA fans in here, and who they follow.

[calais_304]

i used to be into it big time back in the day (used to collect the cards :P) my favourite teams were the Orlando Magic mainly cuz of shaq, and the Chicago Bulls.

these days though i wouldn't have a clue though...does mugsy bogues still play :P lol he was awesome for a short fella

edit, also played alot of basketball in primary and highschool, played club and for school...and funnily enough for the first time in years i was down at the local park with a few mates yesterday shooting some hoops :P lol

[hsvpunk]

when u used to watch it, i was an orlando fan, but then went for charlotte hornets (since that they have changed there name ,i think)
havent watched a game for a coupel of years.

[5ivespeed]

calais304 if u like muggsy u will like this search nate robinson dunk over dwight howard. it happened yesterday a 5'7" guy jumps completely over a 6'11" guy in a dunk contest.
hsvpunk yeah they are new orleans hornets now and there is charlotte bobcats. i go for boston celtics btw

[djmenow]

I used to follow the NBA big time in the 90's and followed Jordans Chicago Bulls.

Now I like to follow it a little less but since Bogut is at the Bucks I seem to follow their progress. I watch a few games on Fox now and again if I have time.

lmao, i heard about this, will have to watch it when i get home. what other new teams do they have going now...the last i remember was the washington wizards came into it...and i also thought they had jordan for a while to...??

[calais_304]

oh also who was a fan of NBA JAM :P lol i loved that game....BOOMSHAQALAQA and from down town (when doing a 3-pter) ahh good times :P

[5ivespeed]

oklahoma city thunder, atlanta hawks, sacramento kings. jordan did play for wizards but retired for 3rd and final time in 98 i think

[50LTRv8]

I am a huge fan, have a fantasy team on Yahoo Sports, follow whats going on everyday.

My fav team is the knicks, yeah I know losing right now, other than that I am a Jerr Sloan/Utah Jazz fan.

[02DUBH]

massive fan, follow the lakers, but dwight howard is an absolute monster

[50LTRv8]

DH is a monster, I just hope he works on the little things in his game, free thows and such. Shaq could have scored twice as much had he just been a good free throw shooter.

[02DUBH]

agree, if he improves his free throws he could easily be a 30+ppg player

i used to watch NBA when jordan was cutting up the boards and the current bunch of hip hop gangsta wannabes are boring. jordan would have taken them all to school so apart from the fact it's not on free to air anymore i wouldn't watch it anyway.

i still play comp but these days C grade instead of A

[5ivespeed]

howard is training with pat ewing for shooting. if he becomes a reliable shooter he will be unstoppable

[jules]

you're born a shooter. very few people become good shooters, much less pros who've already been doing it all their lives.

[cpbait]

yeh i used to big time, used to be a huge chicago bulls fan when Jordan and Scottie Pippen were killing it for the bulls, watched it heaps when we had foxtell, but when we got rid of it couldn't watch it much anymore, became a fan of the L.A Lakers when they got Bryant and Shaq

[Joey_21]

Phoneix suns--no not because of shaq either lol been a fan of them for bout 8 years big fan of nash. watch it when i can they are showing games on HD10 live which is good

i myself play bball and have been playn for 13 years still goin Gasol and Kobe combo i s the new shaq and kobe there unstoppable

one of my favourite players is AK47 Andre kirilinko gun player and funny as number

Yeah I blay ball every now and again, if my knee was better I would play more. Gasol is a good player but a little soft, I can't help feeling that kobe looks at his team sometimes and asks himself, how do I make them just as intense as me?

I am KG fan too, although lately I wish he would not talk on the court.

AK 47 is one of those guys who you think does nothing the entire game, and at the end he has stats everywhere, just needs to be able to shoot better.

It is funny that so many people on here are saying they remember jordan. The best thing about him is that he drove his team to overachieve and his competative nature made him what he was, he simply wanted it more, and when he beat you, he wanted to beat you more.

There are plenty of good players around now, granted none of them are his airness, but guys like Kobe, Lebron, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Paul Pierce and others are pretty damn good.

Same story here, well except I was never an Orlando fan. I used to be a massive hornets fan til the owner moved the franchise Haven't watched it since. I loved it in the old days with, Muggsy, Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. Completely lost interest in it now.

[excalibur]

like the rest of you i used to be massive fan
collected the cards
got all the M. J. videos
definately played NBA JAM (my mate now has the arcade machine)
Fav player of all time MICHEAL JORDAN (no one will ever be better)
Fav team San Antonio Spurs

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I used to be a fan of Philly, well more to the point Alan Iverson, but he seems to have lost some pizazz the last couple of seasons. I like Dallas, Jason Kidd is a legend, so is Dirk Nowitzki.

[tanner892]

Yeah big NBA fan right here, I'm a Laker boy, I like the team atm but i dont think its anywhere near as good as the kobe+shaq days, all time best team gotta be the 90s bulls, jordan clearly greatest player of all time, NBA is not what is used to be, Jordan mentioned the problem i saw in an interview a while back and its that these days big money comes to easily to the players, they get to the NBA get a big contract and then relax and lose their fire, the amount of money in the game has somewhat ruined the competition and competitive nature of the players.
(of course u gotta exclude players like KG, Kobe, A.I, Grant Hill)

[02DUBH]

The money is a joke to be honest. It's rumored that Lebron James has been offered around the 100million dollar mark to leave the NBA and play in Europe.
