Shame none of the players have any heart though. To me "Old School" means the truefundamentals of basketball. Kobe does some crazy stuff, that's because when you hog the ball, and get trapped with three people around you, yeah you are going to have to chunk the ball 43 ft away. He is good but he has no heart, no love. To him, its just a contest.
People Like Tim Duncan, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Kirk Hinrich,Tony Parker, Michael Redd, Mike Bibby, Steve Nash, those are players who love the game. Players you can look up to.

i liked what a previous poster said about pro sports being like the coliseum sports during the fall of the roman empire. we are so busy focusing on our teams and the numbing effects of pro sports and ignorant and/or unconcerned about the global creeping tyranny of the few.

Its funny, I�ve been reading �Days of War, Nights of Love� by the Crimethinc cooperative and read this last night. Thought it expanded on the �coliseum� thoughts I had earlier.
� A spectacle also isolates the people whose attention it commands. Many of us know more about the fictitious characters of popular sitcoms than we know about the lives and loves of our neighbors - for even when we talk to them, it is about television shows, the news, and the weather; thus the very experiences and information that we share in common as spectators of the mass-media serve to separate us from one another. It is the same at big football game: everybody watching from the bleachers is a nobody, regardless of who they are. They may be sitting next to each other, but all eyes are focused on the field.
And although football fans cannot participate in the events of the game they are watching, or exert any real influence over them, they attach the utmost importance to these events and associate their own needs and desires with the outcome in a most unusual way. Rather than concentrating their attention on things that have a real bearing on their desires, they reconstruct their desires to revolve around the things they pay attention to. This stands in stark contrast to the way people speak about the things that go on in our own cities and communities.

The NBA�s goal is to sell advertising space and seats so they can get money. If they found out that many people would like to see a particular team in the playoffs they might work towards that goal. If was the owner of the NBA I would surely do this because money is good.

Im sorry but I would never want this player on my team. I don't care how badly my team needs a scorer. Kobe can go play somewhere else. He is bad for team chemistry The guy never shuts up.

See a particular team in the playoffs: I wouldn't mind a Philadelphia and Toronto rematch. The 2001-2002 playoffs was heavenly.
