@  SadLakerFan : (16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM) Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.

@  jorgeaam : (15 September 2015 - 08:30 PM) So to celebrate his new contract, Montrezl Harrell saved someone's life on monday
@  thejohnnygold : (14 September 2015 - 04:36 PM) A good article from Blinebury talking about when Hakeem and Moses used to play in the park. LINK
@  rockets best... : (14 September 2015 - 02:29 AM) I agree totally. I got to watch his Rocket days and the man was a hell of a player. BIG MO R.I.P.
@  Mario Peña : (13 September 2015 - 05:24 PM) Sad to see Moses pass. I don't remember watching him as a Rocket but I do remember his Philly and Hawks teams. He was the perfect man to mentor Dream. It's a very sad day for his family and friends and there are many.
@  majik19 : (12 September 2015 - 09:01 PM) i just saw a post wishing Yao Ming a happy 35th birthday... am I the only one whose mind is blown that he's only 35?
@  cointurtlemoose : (08 September 2015 - 01:17 AM) aaaah, thanks jorge
@  jorgeaam : (08 September 2015 - 12:21 AM) Love it how Hinkie and Morey always target the same players, but hoping he isn't another Covington
@  thejohnnygold : (08 September 2015 - 12:03 AM) Christian Wood has signed with Philly
@  jorgeaam : (07 September 2015 - 10:32 PM) If I'm not wrong, he hasn't been waived yet, they have until october 4th to do that
@  cointurtlemoose : (07 September 2015 - 05:39 PM) Anyone else surprised that Kostas hasn't gotten picked up by anyone yet? I wanna see that guy play somewhere

@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:27 AM) this dude's gun fired and all he got a misdemeanor at bush lol: http://abc13.com/new...ush-iah/815795/
@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:26 AM) theres more articles all over, but the jist is houston (and texas) doesn't really arrest for it, they just recommend you leave it in your car when they catch it. So seems dwight got lucky he was in texas and not cali or the NE.
@  Losthief : (03 September 2015 - 02:22 AM) honestly we should just be glad they caught it...

Read it. Here is an interesting blurb from Morey in the sidenotes:

"the true risk of selecting White was not as severe as many people think, since only about 20 percent of players drafted 16th overall end up having major NBA careers anyway."

Nice to hear more of his perspective on the selection of White.

White makes some decent points and his perspective is interesting in a lot of ways. He lost me when he dismissed the notion that stress is a part of life. I cannot fathom a life, or lifestyle, without stress unless you, yourself, develop the necessary skills to dismantle and dissipate it. Even hunter gatherers had stress.... Royce, I am sorry to say stress is a part of life. I do agree that it is a silent killer and on a pandemic level, but the onus is on you to deal with it. I almost feel his issues are of a more spiritual nature than psychological. He is afraid of dying. It's existential not psychological IMO.

read the piece on him on grantland and you'll come away convinced he will never change and this will be an ongoing nightmare


I did, above is my initial comment on that.

Well, today is the day Royce is supposed to show up at RGV. Found a little highlight video from summer league hoping to get me excited about him.....it worked. It's like watching Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson's love child (don't let the imagery ruin the comparison)....He still needs to learn to shoot....Jason Kidd couldn't shoot either...

HERE IS THE LINK
