I could care less that you gave me a rating or why you did, your opinion is worthless. It was a clean block. Fact.

Carry on.
LOL! You are just embarrassed because you are a Lebron James knob-gobbler.

Drake just announced he is releasing a song about the Raptors win. Which is either awesome or incredibly ghey depending on your feelings about Drake and/or the Raptors

The only one I didn't know about is that Kings championship.

I knew they had 1 title. But I thought it was when they were the Cincinnati Royals. Had to look this info up but it was in '51 when they were the Rochester Royals.

Rochester isn't that big, right? That would be kinda like Fresno, CA having an NBA team.

Don't know anything about the city itself. I like to know about the history of the league though. Not just what's happened recently.

The NBA had teams in Ft. Wayne, Tri-Cities, Rochester, Syracuse in the early years. It was a weird league. At one point there were only 8 teams. There were only 10 when the Celtics were stacking titles in the 60s.

The Wikipedia entry is fascinating

Yeah, I love sports history, too. I knew Kings were in Kansas City and Cincinnati before. Didn't know about Rochester.

And they used to take trains to games. I remember that from a Bob Cousy biography I read when I was in fourth or fifth grade.

Much different league obviously back then. But I think that kinda shows some of the genius of Red Auerbach. He was just that much better than anyone else judging college talent. I don't know off hand how many of his drafted players are in the HOF but it's a lot.

Prease exprain

They beat the Celtics those years. And while I have no proof to back this bullshit up I still say the Lakers cheated. I guess the rest of the titles are legit. But gimme some time & I could probably think of some phoney baloney excuses as to why they're not.

Shit we can do that!? Hell yeah. Okay then the Lakers '85, '87 & '10 titles get an *.

I didn't watch in 1985. 1987 McHale injury? 2010 Game 7 refs and Perkins injury?
