November? thats crazy--- they had to move that up.

if you dont pass- you are already late to apply for Feb's exam (they only offer in July and Feb).

Yup. You'd basically be forced to pay the highest late fee or you'd have to skip the next test and wait a whole year.

That's the part that stinks for me.

Kyrie for Paul was the obvious solution.

But, maybe Kyrie was worried that he might have to compete with Bron in the same City next year.

If he thought he wasn't getting the shine he deserved playing next to LeBron, imagine how Fucked up it would be if LeBron was a Laker.

Clippers are Ross to the Lakers Neiman Marcus in Los Angeles.

It's sad. But, so.
I hope there is enough compeition for him that they can get the Twolves to give up Wiggins- who is infinitely more ready to help than when he was drafted.

Butler and Kyrie are really tight- he would be a nice fit there and would actually be cheaper than a Wiggins deal early on.

Id rather have Bledsoe and Jackson - but i think Wiggins and some lesser pieces is more realistic. We shall see


keep in mind this is also the guy who said the world was flat. Hes kind of a nut mentally. Who knows what he will be thinking tomorrow.

Not sure, but I think you can set up a bet exchange bet directly with a member. I think both parties can then settle on it saying who the winner is. I'm not sure if you need an active game or not, but I'm sure you could just throw in any random MLB game or something if you wanted to make it official. Not 100% though, might have to ask a mod.

It was just 1K. Let me know when you're ready for the avatar.
send it to me tonight once i get home and ill make sure its up for tomorrow if thats when you would prefer me to start it.

Ill kick ya 15 hundo just for some interest! lol.

When you put these 2 bball players straight up against each other, it's tough to pick who's better.

Both top 10 all time, more like top 5 in my book.

Much better passer than Bird and a unique player......being a 6-9 PG. He also gets the head to head matchups and that matters when you're discussing 2 players that are very close in talent and stats. Magic could have scored more too and I don't necessarily think Bird was a better scorer, even though his stats indicated. The Lakers just didn't need Magic to, that wasn't his focus. Oh, and Magic was versatile, he could play any position on the floor.

Ps. You are a asshole for not settling up before you bounced. It's been so long I'm not even excited about trolling you....

But, several others will pick up my slack...lol

Yes I will

I have to say -- on second thought, I probably should have included Bird in my top 10.

Larry Bird is without question a top 10 all time player, just no debate in my opinion. You get bored sometime go compare the first 10 years of his career to that of Lebron.

Including playing center in the finals and having a monster game that clinched the title. Dude posted 42 pts, 15 rbs, and 7 assists playing center, game 6 of the finals AS A ROOKIE.

A 6'9 PG that could run, pass and handle the ball the way he did. His court vision was unreal ( no look passes, full court passes, assists from the seat of his pants). No one had ever seen anyone like him before ( or since ).
