Wait....this is Luis Scola, right?
Nick names are fun. Lately, i been thinking of Scola as The Little Fundamental. Not that plays like Duncan, though a bit. He just has great fundamentals, and excellent post moves. Oh yeah, and Yao Ming is Ow Ming. Is that an old joke? Seems like it would be.
----------
Artest and Odom played on the same team at age 11 or something. That is wierd. They are the only two guys their size that can do everything in the league. Lead a fast freak, shoot threes, create own shot, etc. Both giant, nimble men. Maybe they just have good handles and are good shooters cause they been playing a lot of ball their whole lives. Maybe Howard would be like that, too, if he grew up at playing at Rutgers.

This is the first time i've heard lots of artest sound bites in a short period. I am really strating to like him.

i don't know, i chose size - 'small' several times for that picture. This program seems rather hornery, no?
Yea, Artest has really cleaned up his act i guess. I haven't found any reason to have issue with him.
Also, if this series has taught me anything, its that I really don't like Kobe. It just reiterates my choice of Chris Paul as my first pick. Is Kobe really a winner? I mean, he only won when Shaq was around.
scola is one of my favorite guys. thats a good name for him too. you are right, he's got great post moves. to me, he is one of the most invisible guys in basketball.
wait, does that make sense? i think he can offer a lot to a team and do it very quietly.
i think artest has grown up a lot lately. he's gone from zero to hero in my book.
ow ming is funny, i've never heard that one.
and, you may be right about kobe shasher. i think this post-season will end up telling us a lot about him. this year his team is more capable of winning (i believe) than they have been since his shaq days.
he's still a really scary guy to me, but do you D-draft an a-hole when you have first pick? i think you're right, cp is the guy for me too. but this should be on a different post.. err.. basketblog protocol?..
Considering Chris Paul is still very Young, plays the most important position, is the best pg since Magic, and is basically a saint off the court, i would certainly take him over Kobe as well.
I would always chose PG or Center for my first pick if the field's talent is comparable.
uh oh, if it's blog protocol to start a new thread for new topics, I've may have violated it on almost every post I've ever made... that sucks. It does make it hard to find old posts though (since the 'search' sucks in blogger - ironic given goodle owns it right?).
I really liked Artest - which is weird because I seriously hated the guy 2 yrs ago. He's got a bright future as TV analyst one day. Let's get him a reality TV show!
As for Kobe, I think I summed up my thoughts on his leadership skills (or lack thereof) in the doin' work post but I wonder what definition is necessary for you to call someone a 'winner'? If it's the ability to lead, he's definitely still got something to prove but they did make the finals last year... that's a significant amount of winning.
Funny you said a reality show for Artest. I mentioned a talk show for him. I guess i am still stuck in the 90s.
It was funny when artest said lebron is a new and improved version of me. But, ever since then, I been seeing that artest was right. They kinda play the same way. Just, that the same offensive skills are at a completely superlative lv in lebron.
you're right on Tom - maybe the answer is a Comedy Central Spoof of the Magic Hour! They could call it "Don't you know Ron Artest?" (always said in his NY accent)
