I feel like this thread gets a co-producer credit on that post btw

Dids -- thanks for the links. Awesome stuff.

If he ever wants a research assistant, I'm up for it.

I should note that I wrote this before I read this:

I'm sensing Haralabob competing w/ Bill Simmons for the first ever "VP of Common Sense" position in the NBA.

bill simmons is an idiot.

The swipe at Doc Rivers was great.

i would pay $19.99 a month to read 2p2 if coltranedog made an nvg post everyday.

way to squash all those ghey rumors haralabos.

and haralabos... read this carefully. we love you. think you are great. pulling for you bigguy...





but PUT SOME DAMN BASS IN YOUR VOICE. are you going to force us to take up a collection to get you a vocal chord transplant?

CFL is HUGE part of his wagering also.

If Harablous had a deep voice he'd be above PA in the pantheon. Let's leave him one tiny flaw so we can think he's human and not suspect the truth, that he's the product of an extraterresterial mating of hot grecian blood with cold vulcan logic.

Seriously, one of the NBA teams should really consider hiring haralabos.

We talked about the article on today's show for about 20 minutes (despite bob telling me he didn't want to talk about it).

everyone on the internet is perfect in every way and sounds like isaac hayes. it's annoying to have to listen to these real life ppl with all their flaws.

I hear he can hit the 3 ball with great accuracy. So, give him a tryout.

For him to give out all that information, he must be strongly considering quitting sports betting. He can't be that dumb in spite of his enormous ego.

eh, he gave out practically zero information except for the fact that he is actually making money this way which is amazing, since as he mentioned there are only a handful of guys doing it.

Celtics are owning the Lakers after halftime. I would think the 3rd quarter is a good indicator of how a coach adjusts and, Rivers seems to be out coaching Phil

He says only a handfull of people make a living betting NBA. When he shows the detail his database goes into it's easy to see why it's so few.
But I think the main reason 'only a handfull' of people can do it is that someone with that level of talent can make a lot more money trading financial/commodities markets so thats what they do instead. Haralabos I'm sure understands this but he's more interested in getting a job in the NBA. I remember reading how Andy Beal told Phil Ivey that there's much more money to be made in finance (Sklansky said it too in a podcast). I have to think that if someone like Ivey had taken that route they would be making many more tens of mills today.

I wish ESPN or TNT would hire Haralabos as a pregame/halftime analysts rather than the idiots (Jon Barry, Wilbon, Barkley, Kenny Smith) they got now. He would give a much better analyses and is much more entertaining. I think that type of role is much more in his future than working for an NBA team because he is a great media personality.

can you imagine how much better harabalos would be than bill walton??

i mean, bill walton can barely keep from drooling, much less give any NBA insight.

i was so jazzed up about the idea that i called up George Bodenheimer, the president of ABC sports, and pitched the idea of haralabos being a halftime analyst.

george was psyched!! he agreed that is long overdue that professional sports acknowledges the gambling aspect of sports entertainment, inserts some solid gambling knowledge, and adds another layer of color to the tapestry (george's words, not mine. i think he has been pitching this stuff for too long)

so i linked him to some of haralobos' BPS podcasts to george and he said that he would listen to them and then get back to me.

george didnt call for a long time. and when he finally did call he really hemmed and hawwed before he just finally came out and said, "we like your idea, but this guy just isnt going to fit into the telecast"

me, "huh?"

george, "the guy is smart, but he is just not going to cut it"

me, "why not?"

george, "uhh... you see..."

me, "what?!?!?!?

george, (exasperated) "fine!... its his damn voice. he needs some damn bass in his voice so that he doesnt sound like he is 8 years old"

me, "oh"

george, "let us know when we can refer to him as haralaBASS"

me, "word"

cliff notes - monkey ass bill walton will still be on ABC until haralabos startgs lifting wieghts or gets on some testosterone
