LOL. Not Kobe.

Jordan was the 3rd in '92

Not sure how I could get Pippen and not Jordan.

Let's see, which of these 4 does not belong:

Jordan
Pippen
LeBron
Kyrie

LeBron in 2012 and Pippen in 96 were 2.

I am guessing Kibe was the other. Not sure what year though.

Wade?

 

[wildturkey]

Saved their best all around team performance for last

Kyrie Irving becomes only the 4th player ever to win a Gold Medal and an NBA Title in the same year. Can you name the other three?

LeBron, MJ, Scottie

Ryan Lochte's gets the Scumbag of the Summer award.

Why not just say...nothing?

Why make up some shit like that?

Dude has always come across as a stoner.

But, now I think he's slightly brain damaged.

He's a much better fit with the 2nd team. It was about time Coach K brought some defense to the starters and some offense to the 2nd team. The Jordan/Cousins swap did that nicely. It also paired up the better defending PG with the weaker defending C, which helps with dribble-drive defense.

Great pt. I also saw during the Olympics that Jordan is as bad as ever at shooting free throws. I can never understand how someone like that who plays basketball all of the time can't at least shoot 60% of their free throws. Heck - he has only shot 50% once in his entire career.

Doesn't matter in the Olympics.

If you foul him intentionally, it's two shots AND the ball.
