Yeah Artis Gilmore definitely deserves to be in....maybe there's some dirt on him.....here's a guy that maybe isn't as qualified:

"Canadian-born Robert J. "Bob" Houbregs (inducted 1987) was drafted by NBA's Milwaukee Hawks in 1953 and played five seasons in the league.[64] " (Wikipedia)

Robert J. "Bob" Houbregs....led his college team to final 4 (did not win), and his career scoring average in the NBA was 9.3 .......... he must have been related to somebody.

Should the NBA adopt franchise tag like NFL to restrict player movement?

I'm not aware, is Winton Dupree someone famous????

Thanks for the acknowledgement, I just love challenges. Tophat & monacle....
....(I'm more baseball cap, I do have all my hair still, and Oakley Juliet's...however I have come to realize it is time to grow up...can't go on wearing shorts and Air Jordans to work forever.

Probably alot of America's productivity is lost by distractions such as the internet. By the way, I know alot isn't the proper word to use, but it's just my rebellious side....just as my writing rarely ever ends a sentence with the proper period...I'm Keroucian... At my work, they won't even allow us to carry our cell phones on our bodies. That would be ok, but we have management that is as I say "stupidvisors", and a phone system that is a maze, to a machine, that won't take a message. So if there is ever a real emergency, you would not find out til your own time. In my personal life, I get alot of e-mails from people coming from their work e-mail accounts.......that says something....

Time to do the things I was supposed to do today....good night!!!!

not yet, 320.

I love KOBE...

Please keep both sasha and shannon and also take TMAC so that we can kick the ass of that 3 headed ugly monster butthead in MIAMI.Go LAKERS......

Hope we are all in peace in this world...

i really miss my parents,relatives and friends in the philippines,the most beautiful country in the world!!!!!!!!

LRob-

Oh man i hope you are right that the NBA schedule for 2010-2011 is released on tuesday. That also means that come Monday ESPN is going to highlight the best games to look forward of the upcoming season.

The majority of televised games will be the Miami Heat. Followed by the Lakers if they are lucky.

Supposedly the top 2 teams of each conference gets the same amount of air time each season. Yeah right!

TNT is going to start promoting that they are the home/station of the Eastern Conference Finals during the pre-season games that they air.

Last year they waited until the last minute to promote the Lakers vs the Suns as their prime coverage of their Conerence Finals.

Who should the Lakers face againts when they collect their 16th ring as a franchise?
What should be the X-mas game opponent of the Lakers?
What about MLK day game?

I say for opening act it should be the Lakers vs Utah Jazz-
For the Holidays, the Lake show should go up againts the Celtics;
And for MLK day it should come down to the Lakers hosting the Miami Heat on their 2nd meeting of the season. It's only appropriate since the Lakers will have the home court advantage in the FINALS. Lets see if the Heat can travel and win.

Another thought. I hope not to see that Lakers have the most or close to having the more back to back games as they did last year. We will see who Stern Favors next year. If the Heat have fewer than LA; then its something us Laker Fans should be alarmed with.

The Miami Heat are younger, they should be able to handle that. They are the best trio ever assembled in NBA history, according to WADE.

The LA Lakers are the repeat defending champions, they deserve to be cut some slack.

We will just have to wait and see.

KOBE the greatest player in the world...

Lets go Lakers...

I really can't wait to go back home for a holiday this december in the Philippines,as what they said theirs no place like home...

Word is that LBJ will be "injured" when he travels to Cleveland when the Heat play againts the Cavaliers. Therefore he won't be there because of precautionary messures. LOL

Yeah if I was LBJ I would fake an injury too, and stay in Miami.

I don't know if it's true or not; my good friend told me who works w/ AEG

Karl Malone did the same; the difference was he was injured and he left after 18 years of trying to bring a title to Utah. 18 YEARS!!!

Also, the Jazz didn't work hard to bring him back. Most imnportantly, Malone never quit on the Jazz or led them on.

Once again, Malone left the Jazz after 18 years!!!

Word is that LBJ will be "injured" when he travels to Cleveland when the Heat play againts the Cavaliers. Therefore he won't be there because of precautionary messures. LOL Yeah if I was LBJ I would fake an injury too, and stay in Miami. Posted by: Joe_Corad | August 01, 2010 at 04:18 AM ROFLMAO!!!

353 posts not bad at all

A very late thought.

Players we hate to join the Lakers in the near future-

Absolutely no Andre Varejao, or however his name is spelled. For some reason all Brazilian players are cocky and seem to be playing for teams that Lakers find as rivals. The Suns have Leandro Barbosa(traded to toronto i think). Cleveland has that sideshow bob of Varejao. The Nuggets have Nene Hilario.; but Nene wanted to erase his last name because he thought he would be as big as Pele and Ronaldo. The two biggest soccer players ever to play in Brazil. If i miss to include other Brazilian players, its only because they are not cocky, over rated players like the ones previously mentioned.Posted by: Joe_Corad | August 01, 2010 at 04:37 AM

ROTFLMAO

WHY?
Because Justa then proceeded to virtually dump me! LMAO!
Forgive Justa and Nation but I'm trying to get yall to 500 Posts. you think good material comes easy?

Oh man, I am afraid to post my favorite Sci-Fi films. Since i'm a pup when it comes to Lakers Glory. Compared to most of you devoted followers.

My Favorite Foods

Fried Chicken, Macaronni & Cheese, Banna Pudding, Lemon Pie, Neopolitan IceCream, Gumbo, Plain Tuna Fish out the can, Chilli, Perch.

My Favorite Actor, (Tie) Wesley Snipes, Leonardo DeCaprio

My Favorite Actress; Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Helen Mirin, Vonetta McGee,

Ooops, meant till time to get to 500, not 300.

mamba,

Good morning.
Like the sci fi lists. For tv shows you left off thCaprica, is that one still to new to make the list?

Favorite Male Singers: Jeffrey Osborn, Peabo Bryson, Frank Sinatra(yes that's right), Marvin Gaye, Barry White,

Favorite months of the year?

Best Band of all time is Journey!

Best male singer is Bryan Adams!

Best Female Singer is Tina Turner!

Or at least thats how i look at it. LOL

Best President of the United States to ever serve?

I say James K. Polk. Followed by Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.

My Favorite Horror Film is, and still gives me nightmares is John Carpenters Halloween. In second place is The Exorcist. Every year I take a trip to Big Bear w/ friends and we take movies that will scare us. The Exorcist is always the one that follows us. Yet I refuse to see it. One because I am highly religious; second because i think if seeing it, invokes the devil to show up.
Yeah crazy huh, LOL Posted by: Joe_Corad | August 01, 2010 at 04:58 AM

We have the same idea Joe. Although in my case I'd place Exorcists first. That movie scared the ISH out of me! And crazy...No, I'm inclined to think the same thing.

Best Beatles song in the morning,

Good Day Sunshine

Best Fake Band,

The Monkees

My second worst regret in life is that Justa & I Virtualy Eloped instead of having a Formal Virtual Marriage! WTF!

Crazy story about the Film The Exorcist.

My Aunt was pregnant with her first child. She dared to go watch that movie while she was 8 months. While she was in that theater, she witness a couple of viewers run out screaming, and she saw alot more folks kneeling down on their knees praying.

Nothing compared to when she started screaming in pain when she realized that her child was ready to be born; prematurely.

According to her everyone that was there made the cross and told her to get out. WOW!

Good news is my cousin is alive and healthy and is a Lawyer, and my aunt's only distate from her experience is, the long line and the crappy popcorn she bought when she had her contractions.

Ok, here's number 400, I'm out of breath, gotta rest,
wheezing

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ************(400)******

Oh man...I was taking the summer off from the blog. I pop in just to see wassup and see the equivalent of "The 300" trying to take on a world record blogdump and tiring badly...OK, I'm in...strokin' it from the corner.

Too bad we don't have DFish here to help out with his usual 30 or 40 posts obsessively stalking Fisher. We'd hit 500 easy.

There once was a boy named Jack,
he lived in a shack by the tracks,
he tried all his might
to get some delight,
but it's hard when you live life on crack.
