congratulations. you're a Lakres fan (big suprise there). you want a cookie?
This was in response to your banwagon comment, i dont want a cookie, just tryin to emphasize that im no where near a banwagon fan
Yes, its SO clear-cut, in fact, that Nash won the title IN A LANDSLIDE. and congrats again about being a big boy and being able to make your own inferences.. that doesnt mean you know shit about what an MVP is
why your gettin so worked up and saying i dont know shit is beyond me. Homie i know shit, probably more than you. I know that Nash is probably the worst player to get the mvp in history (Besides bob cousy who won it back in the day shooting a fg percentage of 37%) Nash didnt have the same impact on the NBA as a whole that kobe or lebron did. Again theres not much i can say because you give these sports journalists way to much creditablity. Until you figure out how much of a joke sports journalism is, you probably will never understand how the mvp award works.
oh boo hoo. there's a conspiracy out to get kobe, yes.. Im sure thats it. it has nothing to do with him allegedly raping a girl, then acting like an ass to the media. kobe brings that shit on to himself, my friend. dont kid yourself
What does all of that have to do with the on-court performance?? This has been the main question posed to writers, who continue to write bad articles about Kobe despite is excellence on the court. Even if Kobe raped 300 women and massacred 90 people, it shouldnt matter because its what he does on the hardwood. Most sports writers let the outside happenings influence what they think about him. No one wants to vote a alleged rapist, and no one wants to support a prick. But to say that what happend in colorado didnt effect the MVP race in 2006 is str8 up ignorant.
yo.. they do it for a LIVING. you think they just read prosports daily, watch the espn 10 ten highlights and thats it? they dedicate their lives to the game. they KNOW the game.. just cuz you been a fan since 91 (wow) doesn't mean that you know more about the game than these people do. get real
i think you need to get real, Most of these guys are not as "genius" as you make them out to be. I read my share of articles and the things they write are sometimes completely incorrect. Accuracy with these sports writers is not something that they strive for. And just cuz its their job doesnt mean their good at it. I mean would you respect an article written by the Ying Yang twins about the art of MCing? Its their job? They put a lot of work into it! you see what im saying? anyways you probably wont. With that being said there still is a minority of writers who keep it real, and their basketball knowledge shows in their articles. Like Charlie Rosen, writes for fox sports, he may be a big kobe hater, but he can write in depth articles.
IT WAS A CHARGE. look, here is the definition of a blocking foul and a charge.
Blocks/Charge: A block/charge foul occurs when a defender tries to get in front of his man to stop him from going in that direction. If he does not get into a legal defensive position and contact occurs, it is a blocking foul. If he gets to a legal position and the offensive player runs into him it is an offensive foul. In both situations, if the contact is minimal, no foul may be called. To get into a legal position defending against the dribbler, the defender just needs to get in front of him. On a drive to the basket, the defender must get to his position before the shooter starts his upward shooting motion. For most other cases, the defender must get into position and allow enough distance for the offensive player to stop and/or change direction.
That means, regardless of how "airborne" kobe got, IT WAS A CHARGE. I dont give a fuck how well kobe played, that was a charge. moving on...
lol, man what im typing really goes over your head, let me explain this more. The instant kobe's two feet were off the ground, Nash's leg was still sliding into position. Kobe was in the act of shooting, before nash was set, maybe by a split second. Regardless, that would never have been called, and shouldnt be called because this is the playoffs and this is the NBA, when your 6'3" and have limited vertical leap, when you are slow to rotate, get out of the way.
