    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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.
