He forgot catchphrases like acumen, basketball iq, and savvy

Why did you just post a bunch of white guys who played for the Ja—oohh, good one!

Peter Gammons scoffs at Ben’s poor twitter performance, whips out his blackberry and fires away with a tweet of his own:

Dowsett didn’t say anything that bad? I mean, who in Utah DOESN’T look bad fondly on the RESPECT, CLASS, and GRIT showed by players like John Stockton, Tom Chambers, Jeff Hornacek, and Greg Ostertag over the cocksure and flashy players these days.

Leave it to someone from Utah to not be forthright about being married to more than one bad decision.

Haha, I am not talking about games. I’m talking about an entire season. Michael averaged 32-8-8 on 54-percent shooting his entire age-25 season. Kobe has never come close to doing that. Kobe has never crested 47-percent shooting for a single season, and has never averaged either of those 8s. That age-25 season was one…

I doubt it, because nobody looks like LeBron physically. There were all sorts of Jordan “clones” for us to squint at and imagine greatness. LeBron’s been in the league for 12 years and we still don’t have anyone like him.

I don’t ‘hate’ Kobe, nor do I ‘love’ Mike, but in pure basketballing terms, prime Michael Jordan would wipe the goddamn floor with Kobe Bryant. There is no debate to be had.

I bet Kobe loves Mike so much that he has a Jordan mask at home that he puts on and walks around in, making sure everyone calls him Mr. Jordan while he quotes Space Jam incorrectly.

If you’re paying cash, MONEY OUT! Don’t wave it in the air or anything like that, but out and in your hand on the bar top shows the bartender that you’re ready to go. If you have a tab going, empty glass in your hand. Again, don’t wave it around but make it visible on the bar top.

Look at the good he did for The Game Of Basketball. Before Kobe, Basketball was boring and useless. I remember watching games as a kid and crying from boredom. The players would just walk on the court and shake hands for 48 minutes while the coaches deflated as many basketballs as they could with crude knives. Unreal.…
