Definitely some good laughs in this thread. Pretty much all of mine are taken, except for:
Hoopsworld. Probably the ****tiest basketball site of all time. The chats their writers have are supremely idiotic and provide solid comedy, with a sprinkle of sadness that people believe this stuff. I first caught a strong whiff of their bull**** when one of their senior writers claimed that some basketball players can dunk from the NBA 3pt line.
A couple of fairly recent examples:
Cain in New Zealand:
What order would you pick these guys to build a franchise around? James, Granger, Durant, Anthony, Gay, Wade and Iguodala.
Steve Kyler:
I am not a big Lebron James fan... I see who and what he is as a player and give respect that he's a great player... would never be on my team.
That said, building a team to win today?...
- DWade... Iguodala... Durant... Granger... Carmelo... LeBron... Rudy Gay
I wonder if this dolt struggled to decide if he would take LeBron or Rudy Gay? These guys also claim that if you took LeBron from the Cavs and put him on the Knicks, with no other roster changes, then the Cavs would still be significantly better than the Knicks.
This was a good one too:
Bill Ingram:
If they get Millsap they'll look to deal LaMarcus. Talked to KP about it last night - Wendell Maxey will be writing about that later today. They want a more physical presence at the 4 and aren't sure they can afford to pay what LaMarcus will want. You hang onto Joel.
It turned out he did not talk to Kevin Pritchard about this, Wendell Maxey had to put a note up on his site that he was not going to write this, and they just snipped this out of the transcript later without mentioning it. It's like these guys are tripping balls and just spewing out tales from their alternate NBA reality. They remind me of that South Park episode where everyone ****s out of their mouths.
They also put out a list of top shooting guards in the league and didn't put Brandon Roy on it. Their excuse was that they always thought he was a point guard.
Hoopsworld, you suck. I do admit that I get amusement from their incessant incompetence. Their failure, however, is large. Not fall off your bike level failure, more like fall of a civilization level failure. Haters gonna hate Hoopsworld.
