I've been a fan of his since his first game in the NBA. But hey, if you want to call me a bandwagon fan, that's fine by me. I don't personally care.

Btw...I've a long history of doing it this way. I was a huge Reggie Miller fan and rooted for Pacers till he was there. I'm a huge Messi fan, and though I was a Barcelona fan before he was there, but now I'm a HUGE HUGE FC Barcelona fan. I started watching baseball in mid-90s, only because of Barry Bonds...TO was one of my favorite players, and though I didn't root for the Cowboys, I did root for him to do well, and his other teams.

As far as 2002 WCF goes, I was rooting for the Kings in that series...but when someone questions if you even watched the series, I felt that was the fitting reply.


It was an honest question, not sure why that is a fitting reply unless you are trying to be a jerk.

Man, you need to let go. It was a joke. It happened almost 10 years ago. Didn't know there is a group of more sensitive fans outside of Cleveland.
C'mon, gents...let's talk about this series.

Interesting fact...only 7 MVPs haven't won a title, and after this year it'll be 6.

1. Charles Barkley
2. Karl Malone
3. Allen Iverson
4. Steve Nash
5. Derek Rose
6. Lebron James
7. Dirk Nowitzki

Wade Interview 1-on-1

I loved the part where Nicole asks Wade - would you have gone to Cleveland? and he replies - "Not a chance, not a chance" and cracks up.



There is a Dirk 1-on-1 on ESPN too, and is a good watch as well. It's tough to hate on Dirk. I hope he does win a title at some point, but not this year!

Okay, my predictions for the finals (since I've been so accurate with my picks so far in the NBA playoffs...lol uhh Portland, f**k YOU)

Heat will give Mavs the same problems OKC gave Dallas with their speed and athleticism but won't falter late in the 4th quarter and Heat actually plays man-defense. With Haslem, Bosh, and Lebron - Heat does have some decent options to throw at Dirk to slow him enough so he doesn't have 35-40pt games, but not sure if Mavs have anyone to stop Lebron or Wade. Even if Dirks goes off, Miami can shut down other guys.

In my opinion, Miami needs to play big in the back-court (Wade, Miller, and Lebron). This will make it tough for the Mavs to play Terry and J-Kidd together, or play Barea for extended minutes.

This is an intriguing match-up, because coaches will have a big say in this series. I think Spols has proven to be a very good coach, and Rick had already established himself as a good coach earlier in the decade. Should be a close one, with several close games - but Miami with HC will be too much. Miami takes it in 6.

Ugh, Polish? Don't insult me...
i respect dirk for staying with his squad..

love j-kidd cuz he a cal guy..


that being said... miami in 6
Man, this is a hard one to pick. I think Dallas will win in 6 or 7 because their team is so damn deep. But, it's FAR from a lock. MIA was favored 4.5 points this morning... I have no idea who I would take on today's spread. Probably Dallas.

Hopefully Alameda's own triple OG J Kidd finally gets a ring.
