Which is why we watch it over say...Olympic style Field Hockey right?...

Though Pundit put up a good case...I am declaring a "hung jury" and a miss trial...

Kobe is entering his prime years and should provide the Lakers with many more game winning shots, and possibly could even lead them to another title in the future if they surround him with the right role players.

Bill Laimbeer of the Pistons. What a dirty thug. Gosh, I wish he was on my team. Remember when he wore that transparent face protector?

Good choice, I hated him. Had no love for any of the guys on that Pistons team with the exception of Joe Dumars.

Here's a vote for the only man never to commit a foul in the NBA. Dennis Johnson of the Sonics and Celtics.

I'm down with Desert Rat on this one.

I hate those who love Kobe, i hate Kobe for loving Kobe, i hate myself for loving Kobe.

Kobe. The prettiest player in the NBA.

And an NBA-level schmuck. (Censored for family viewing.)

John Rocker. Who can ever forget the legendary Ku Klux Kloser? I saw on sportscenter once at Dodger Stadium when a fan ran up to the pitching mound and mooned him. The abuse he took after his genius Sports Illustrated interview makes the Bonds steroids stuff look like preschool. He could have been a great closer too but his mind was shot after that. Now he makes B-horror movies. Its called the Greenskeeper if your wondering where he plays a machete weilding well...golf landscaper guy gone mad. No im not kidding.
