    It's really tough nowadays to qualify the NBA as a sport.

    It's getting closer to the WWE mixed in with a bit of Cirque Du Soleil.

    I hear you, look at the oilers, McD, then they get lucic which should've been a good pick up, or okposo in buffalo.
    Drafting top 5 increases the chances of hitting the mark, but often times the #8 or 9 turns out a better pick than #4.

    Identifying quality talent is difficult.

    Identifying franchise changing talent is unbelievably difficult.

    I've been over the NBA for a while now and it honestly does just keep getting worse. They have an awful product.

    Meanwhile the NHL has a great product...hockey is an amazing sport....and you're lucky to get 30 seconds of time on an episode of Sportscenter while Lebron James gets featured even when he doesn't play.

    Rant over.

    The NBA made ESPN, or more specifically, Michael Jordan being featured every night in the top 10 replay, multiple times, made ESPN.

    I loved watching basketball in the 80s and early 90s.

    I can't remember the last time I sat down and watched a full game.

    Man....last time I watched a full game start to finish? Maybe Derrick Rose's rookie season. Even then I probably spaced out for a while.

    Basketball from the 70's on through the 90's was a lot of fun. The fun has just completely dried up.

    One of those I'm okay with because even though he's annoying...Belushi actually is a Blackhawks/Cubs/Bears/Bulls fan. Like a legit fan. Can't stand him though.

    The other.....fuck that guy.

    Espn used to be married to mario back in the 90s then they decided to cut ties with the nhl, I think bettman was asking for a much bigger slice of the pie.

    I don't mind Belushi either. what i minded the most was during the Cubs World Series the freaking camera showing Bill Murray and John Cusack, who looked stoned out of his mind, every damn pitch! It was a joke. Murray and Cusack don't even live in Chicago anymore. Every inning Joe Buck had to make a reference about them and the Fox camera kept showing them. It was ridiculous !

    that's an interesting take. to me ESPN will air anything and didn't see the NHL as a big revenue juggernaut the 3 other prime sports were. Perhaps Bettmas was greedy, but i was shocked ESPN gave them the boot.

    Bill Murray might not live in Chicago but may just be the biggest Cubs fan in the world....outside of me. I have a Cubs tattoo on my body...can Murray say that?

    But he really is a huge fan. We didn't need to see him between every pitch...I agree with that. Cusack is one of those fans that claims to be a fan of both the Cubs and White Sox....and I hate those fans.

    Not only gave them the boot but also held a grudge against them that seems to continue even until today.

    Have it your way. But you have proven my point in your response. If you're too obtuse to see that then this is on you. I am done.

    I don't know, they were the kings of the northeast matchups which did really well when lemiuex, lindros, scott stevens, messier and cam neely were there.

    I used to frequent some "art parties" in Brooklyn. We would have models there and other live participants and we would paint them up for the party. Sometimes it would turn into a Pollock-Fest type of thing. Good times.
    I'm just pleased to see that g00g13 doesn't have an issue with these titties being out.

    to me Murray is no different than thousands of other diehard, old school Cubs fans, but they don't have his fame, so they are not on tv. Cusack looked like he was on drugs when they showed him. he looked strung out.

    a Cubs tattoo? that's hardcore. After the Phils lost the 09 WS to the Yankees, I made a bet with my buddy that the next Philly team that wins the title, I will get their tattoo since I don't have any currently and most of my buddies do. Well last February, I am celebrating the Eagles SB with my one buddy I made the bet with. After seconds of the Eagles winning and us celebrating, he yells "you gotta get an Eagles tattoo!" Ugh. Not happening. To this day he asks "where's the tattoo?" haha.

    VV because Bieber had a Blackhawks with his name on it hanging in the locker room behind him. we were talking about the Blackhawks jersey, so i was teasing BWW by saying only 2 people can ruined the jersey and Bieber was one of them. haha.

    Nice paint job. the girl on the right is hot.
