TNT Notes November 20: Kobe Bryant vs. LeBron James; Allen Iverson and Carmello Anthony Go Off

TNT Notes November 20: Kobe Bryant vs. LeBron James; Allen Iverson and Carmello Anthony Go Off Where’s Magic, Chuck, Kenny and Ernie? Magic Johnson on Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning’s knee injury that he suffered Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks: “Alonzo (Mourning) has meant so much to the game of basketball, both on the court and off. Off the court he’s done more than anybody in the city of Miami, he is a guy who is relentless with what he wants to do for children in Miami. (On Wednesday night) I told him, ‘Now you start your life after basketball, continue on the path of giving back and you can start being a business man. This (injury) just sped up the process.’” Barkley on Heat center Alonzo Mourning’s charity efforts. [lien] [EN]

You get to see great players and you get to play with those great players. It was great when I got to see Charles (Barkley) and Dr. J (Julius Erving) and Michael (Jordan) and Larry (Bird). Playing against them was the most exciting basketball (game) I ever played.” Barkley on what playing in the NBA All-Star Game means to the players: “For the players, (playing in the All-Star Game is) special.

TNT Notes Jan. 3: The Portland Trailblazers Are For Real

TNT Notes Jan. 3: The Portland Trailblazers Are For Real The Portland/Chicago game was great. Portland is the truth. What was Ben Gordon thinking on that last turnover before Jack’s 3 point play? As far as Seattle, they have to somehow get consistency or they’ll be in a position to draft Michael Beasley. That might be a good thing for Oklahoma City Barkley on the Chicago Bulls struggles this season: “Ben Gordon takes a lot of tough shots and (Kirk) Hinrich is a short guy. I don’t think it was fair that (former Bulls head coach) Scott Skiles got fired. I don’t ever say if guys should get hired and fired, that’s not my job. My job is to analyze the game. The person that didn’t trade for Kevin Garnett last year should get fired. You have a chance to get Kevin Garnett and Pau Gasol. [lien] [EN]

TNT Notes January 18th: “The Suns Are Softer Than Tissue Paper”

TNT Notes January 18th: “The Suns Are Softer Than TissuePaper” TNT NBA Tip-off presented by AutoTrader.com Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley Spurs guard Manu Ginobili on how the Spurs defended LeBron James in the 2007 NBA Finals: “We didn’t let (LeBron James) get any easy lay-ups. He got two dunks in the four games (in the Finals) and that’s way under his average. We made him set for jumpers and it worked for us. He didn’t have a great series shooting from the outside. I don’t think his teammates did their part either. They didn’t make any shots to create some space for (him), so we were successful collapsing (in) the paint and not making anything easy for him.” Barkley on second year Cleveland Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson.

TNT Notes Jan. 10th: The Detroit Pistons Defeat The San Antonio Spurs In Big Road Win It’s a Wu Friday at The Commission Last night’s notes. Enjoy. Funny how Barkley’s Sheed comments fit in to our discussion. Smith on the talent of the Detroit Pistons versus the Boston Celtics: “If you look at the ‘Big Three,’(Celtics Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen) no matter if they are better than anyone they face, they aren’t that much better than Rasheed (Wallace), Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton, and then you add in (Antonio) McDyess and Tayshaun Prince. (The Celtics) are not really more talented than Detroit.” TNT analyst Reggie Miller joined the pre-game show prior to the Spurs/Pistons match-up. Miller on whether the Spurs/Pistons match.

If you ever wondered why MLK Day is necessary…

Allow a white supremacist to enlighten you: Some of the Nationalist supporters were armed despite a call from Barrett to leave guns behind. Acting LaSalle Parish Sheriff Scott Franklin told a father and son from Tioga, about 30 miles from Jena, to put away two shotguns. Franklin allowed them to continue to wear holstered sidearms, but Jena Police Chief Paul Smith told David Dupre Jr. and his father that they would have to put away all weapons during the march, under Louisiana law. ”I’m here to protest black-on-white crime,” David Dupre Sr., 53, told reporters. His 31-year-old son, at times using racial slurs, said: ”It’s time for us white folks to start getting some of our rights back.” Won’t anyone think of the white people? UPDATE: Um, I hope people realize this is snark. [lien] [EN]

Friday Fire 2: Is Kobe Bryant the NBA MidseasonMVP? Top Four? In our Eastern Conference Preview, I predicted Kevin Garnett would be MVP. No flip flopping here, so I have to stick with my choice even though Kobe most likely has a stranglehold on the award. There are many deserving candidates and this season is shaping up as one of the most competitive in recent memory. Who ya got? [lien] [EN]

March 11th - Kobe Bryant Blog Day

As ‘hinted’ with the previous post (subtle enough?), today is Kobe Bryant Blog Day. I think I pretty much get to kick stuff off, as it’s March 11th here in Japan several hours before the States… so make sure you check here for updates - I’ll be linking back to the most excellent Hardwood Paroxysm (even excusing their rampant dislike for the Lakers & Kobe - tho’ apparently that’s on hold for the day. I’ll believe it when I see it!), throughout the day! Should be a big ‘un… even Nike & Kobe’s blog will be involved! UPDATE: Hardwood Paroxysm’s Kobe Bryant Blog Day: Running Thread That’s where it’s all happening folks! [lien] [EN]

Gilbert Arenas on Kobe Bryant

A few weeks ago, Hardwood Paroxysm came up with the idea of getting some bloggers to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant today.  The idea behind it was to allow some of the “haters” one day to show some respect for his immense talent.  Originally, I decided against posting something about it because: · I’m not a Kobe hater. · This is a blog about Gilbert Arenas. But I started to think about it a little more and I realized that there was something that I could contribute for today. Of course, since this is a blog about Gilbert, rather than me do the talking I’ll leave it to Gil:   [lien] [EN]

Kobe Bryant, MVP

The word is out. Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers will be the MVP of the 2007/08 NBA season. There will be detractors, there always are. But Kobe’s a more than deserving winner. He’s done all that his critics have asked for, and then some. Congratulations Kobe Bryant! -------------------- Possibly related posts: (automatically generated) · no clue · How Many Times Do I have to Say It?

Kobe Bryant and Jackass Team Up For Fun Marketing Stunt [Viral Video]

Kobe Bryant, Wee Man, and a pool full of snakes got together for Nike's latest viral marketing campaign, the results of which just hit the Net. Sure, it's an ad, but I can watch anything Jackass-related all day, which I do as often as possible. The same can't be said for that stupid Bam show. Man, I can't stand that kid! [lien] [EN]

Kobe Bryant Speaking Italian
