Wasn't the last guy Kareem worked with Bynum? We all saw how that ended. Don't do it, Roy. He's grouchy and will just give you a bunch of boring history lectures. Probably try to make you read some of his terrible books or take you on a field trip to that stupid statue he finally whined enough to get. Go get high as gently caress with Walton instead. You won't learn anything about basketball but he's at least a pleasent dude, and if you execute an even halfway decent dropstep he'll start calling you Shaq or Mozart or something. That's good for the ego.

I could've sworn Noah was the last to work with Kareem. Him and Dwight worked out in the same year, IIRC.

Maybe but that doesn't help my point so I'm gonna pretend it was Bynum

How can you not be excited about these Finals? It's better because it's a rematch from last year.

What would you people rather have had?

-Not the Pacers because they're boring and bitchy
-Any other ECF team would get destroyed
-OKC would have been cool for the sweet dunks and for Durant vs. LeBron, but the fact is that they don't have an offense
-Clippers would have been cool
-Grizzlies: ehhh
-Rockets and Portland would both get killed in the Finals

Mavs-Heat would be a fun series if you'd like watching a 4-0 or 4-1 revenge hatefucking, but I'm from Dallas so I'm happy with that not happening.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Even the rumor sites are dead.

Someone should track the stars who work out with Hakeem and see what their stats are like the next year. I know Amare definitely looked better this year than last year, but then again he was pulling off 0 Hakeem moves a game.

STAT definitely pulled some moves out after the Dream workout. His post moves were very smooth and controlled, not like Dwight's wild spins. Shame about literally everything else.

Every year it seems like Hibbert has a hot start only to completely nose dive as the season continues and every off-season there is some story about how he fixed his stamina issues and every season the cycle continues
