I genuinely believe buckalice would have been MVP on that team if he had stayed around longer.

Kinda miss that crazy fella. He said some really insane stuff. One of my favorites was when he said he was in NYC because his art work was being displayed at some gallery.

How does Mario Lopez hold it together there?

I would expect an open mouth stare from the host.

By the way, she later went on The Amazing Race to prove that she really was an intelligent person.

That went about as well as her response to the question in the meme.

I don't want to use the term "kids nowadays" but damn, kids nowadays!!! And this was in what, 2007?

I feel we took a real step backwards after that too. They don't even need to use their brain anymore - all they need is a phone and Google

Him holding it together through that is one of the more amazing things I've seen from a tv host. lol

Rodman shutting down Kareem is the dumbest thing you've ever said on these boards, and that one hell of a feat.

So well done pookie.
I think maybe he is thinking about the one half that Rodman shut down Shaq, and believing that translates to an entire series against a different kind of center? I don't get it, but that is the closest I can come to getting to the conclusion he had there.

I think Kareem would struggle some at first because Rodman was pretty unconventional. But once Kareem figured him out, there wouldn't be much Rodman could do.

Plus, much of what Rodman did was about getting into a guys head...that's pretty hard to do to Kareem. Plus, Kareem would just skyhook him to death. Or Rodman would end up fouling out while Kareem got his points at the free throw line.

I agree, Rodman was able to stop Shaq because Shaq was a pure overpowering force and was unable to do that for a half. Rodman's pure aggression put him off his game for a short time. It was only for a half though. Nothing about Kareem was about physicality. Kareem was ultra skilled and it would not have worked the same.

The only thing working against it was 87 Kareem was 40 year old Kareem, not his prime. 14 and 6 does not really need to be shut down.
