yea, the Magic thing I heard the day of the memorial. And I was like, "you got to be fucking kidding me." If there's one thing I can't stand about people, it's fakeness. that was such a bullshit speech. I don't even know what Kobe was doing up there. he barely knew him. ridiculous

Agreed. Like how did he influence your play at all?

Now if Magic said that about like Kareem, or Bird or something it would work...but what the fuck...

**Loose Cannon** · 07-10-2009, 10:48 AM

I mean, I get it. You want to say something really nice because all the family is there and he is a hero to a lot of people. But it was so cheesy

**Hanso Amore** · 07-10-2009, 02:33 PM

I loved his music, but he doesnt make me a better IT professional.

**Juan** · 07-10-2009, 02:46 PM

Pretty sure Kobe and Magic didn't invite themselves.

**Loose Cannon** · 07-10-2009, 03:08 PM

I understand that. I have no quarrels about them accepting to be there, but who came up with the brilliant idea to make them masters of ceromony or whatever they were? Especially Kobe

don't worry Juan, I'm not attacking your Lakers

Well I am attacking Magic for some of what he said cause it was a bunch of crap

Shawn Marion has to change his # and he mentioned it on his Twitter asking for suggestions. A Dallas based blog picked up the story and someone left a comment on the story that he should pick #8 since David Hasselhoff had the #1 song in Russia for 8 weeks straight ROFL

I wouldn't be surprised with Morrison contributing a lil bit next for the Lakers. Not saying he is gonna do a ton but he might be able to give them something off the bench. He did alright his rookie year then got hurt and kinda fell out of Larry Brown's favor. Then he got traded and never really had a chance to catch on during last season w/ the Lakers. At the very least I don't think he'll be a healthy scratch every night like he was last season.

Yeah I totally agree. I'm not looking for Ammo to necessarily get big minutes next season, but at least he might be able to contribute.

Sammy, Summer League is not that bad. You get to see guys who don't get a lot of PT go out there and compete. You also get to see a guy like Ammo go out there and regain confidence after a year plus of doing basically nothing.

**Juan** · 07-14-2009, 07:41 PM

I enjoy it because basketball is really the only sport I follow, so it gives me something to watch while I wait for the regular season to start.

**Loose Cannon** · 07-14-2009, 10:32 PM

they air summer league games?

Pacers sign G Dahntay Jones

Dahntay Jones(notes) talks abo…

AP - Jul 14, 3:44 pm EDT NBA Gallery INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Dahntay Jones(notes) smiled and shook his head when asked about the flagrant fouls he picked up for Denver during the playoffs this past season, including one for tripping Kobe Bryant(notes) during the Western Conference finals.

The defensive stopper won’t hesitate to commit a few more with the Indiana Pacers if necessary.

“It comes as a part of the territory in this game of basketball and with taking the betterment of my team personally and trying to win basketball games and doing my job,” Dahntay said Tuesday.

That job will be with the Pacers for the next four years at $11 million, according to his agent, Aaron Mintz.

Jones’ solid work against Bryant and New Orleans guard Chris Paul(notes) were among the reasons Pacers president Larry Bird made signing him his first free agent priority. Jones will join a team that has been among the league leaders in points scored and points allowed in two seasons under coach Jim O’Brien.

“We’ve been talking about defense for a while here,” Bird said. “When you watch all these guys play at a high level, you see what they’re really made out of. He showed us a lot. It was somebody who we targeted right after the playoffs, and we went after him, and fortunately, we got him.”

Jones drew complaints during the playoffs from Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson and New Orleans coach Byron Scott. Jackson accused Jones of playing “unsportsmanlike basketball” after tripping Bryant. There was no call, but the league hit Jones with the flagrant the next day. Jones has always maintained that he plays hard, not dirty.

Denver coach George Karl has compared what Jones brought the Nuggets to what Bruce Bowen(notes) did as a defensive specialist for San Antonio. That’s fine with Jones.

“I embrace my role, and whatever I have to do to help my team win,” he said. “That was a role I had to play for my team. I had fun with it, and we competed on a nightly basis and we tried to win as many games as possible.”

Jones started 71 games last season. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in the regular season, but increased those numbers to seven points and 2.4 rebounds in the postseason.

Jones, heading into his seventh season out of Duke, expects those figures to increase with the Pacers.

“I’ll probably be asked to score a little more,” he said. “My job is to make sure I play defense on a daily basis, and the points will come.”

Jones believes he’ll fit into the Pacers’ up-tempo style. He said Indiana earned his respect when the Pacers beat the visiting Nuggets 100-94 on March 1.

“They played extremely hard and they never gave up,” he said. “They weren’t intimidated by us at all. That’s an attitude that I do have a lot of admiration for. I look forward to playing with these guys.”

I really like this guy. Now we need to match that BS offer the Raptors made to Jack ( overpaying him by about 7 million ). Then i think Indiana just might have something here.
