Forgot about that. He made a mistake one night. You know how many good people just made a bad decision? |

I think it was also after the year when the Nets went to the finals for the first time in their history and when people were doubting his skills as a leader and as a PG. :bag: |

Ridiculous. You guys are trying so hard to bring race and music taste into this. It's not about race or music, it's about them looking like street thugs and making Americans look bad!! Meanwhile ALL the other athletes at the games, American, Canadian, French, African, Chinese, Japanese, ect., they show up dressed classy and acting classy, with smiles from ear to ear proud and thrilled to be there. When the Wu Tang Clan walked in, I was embarassed to be American, they looked like f*cking clowns. Allen Iverson with that "look at me, I'm so tough" scowl on his face, starring at the camera like it was his worst enemy. Tim Duncan was the only player that looked happy to be there!! Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Yeah, if they showed up looking like this (some of the music I love), I would be SO PROUD of them!! :serious: :serious: :serious: Silliness. Instead of looking like American street thugs, they would look like Crazy American a-holes! This isn't about race, this isn't about rap vs rock, this is about them carrying themselves to look like "Hip-Hoppers" instead of with class like everyone else. I'm sure some of those white-boy swimmers listen to Metallica, and Static-X, and Manson, and such. But they didn't walk in there with tight jeans, chain wallets, and thier faces pierced!! They walked in with class.
I have been watching basketball since before I could remember. I was a basketball fan before I even ever watched baseball, hockey, and football. My room was covered with Jordan and Magic Johnson posters. Just because I hate the way the game is played now, and don't watch too much anymore, doesn't mean I don't know the difference between good basketball and bad basketball. I have 2 issues with the team: 1. The way they carry themselves 2. The way they play the game Stop trying to mix the 2 of them together. #1 has NOTHING to do with #2. |

I don't get why people have a problem with the reason Rob doesn't like this team. It's his choice. It's merged with some of the same reasons other people, including myself, have discussed. I didn't see the opening ceremonies, but if I did, I bet I would have felt the same way Rob did about our players' appearances. |

I didn't see the opening ceremonies (for good reason), but I probably would have had a similar opinion. Not embarassed to be an American, but disappointed that they didn't have enough sense to know how they're supposed to act, especially on such a platform. I can understand Rob feeling the way he does about that. But, we're not talking just about the opening ceremonies. He choses to call them thugs and drug addicts. That's the problem I have. |

Maybe the "thugs" and "drug addicts" was a little overboard, but I can understand why Rob is upset. They all looked unhappy to be there, like it was a chore, while everyone else was excited to be representing their countries. They were an embarrassment to the American people and to the world by the way they looked. |

Here's someone who wanted to be there, but was never asked. He would have made a team a lot better. He wanted to be there so much that he even mentions going as the manager or water boy!

I've followed Artest since his freshman year at St. John's and was so excited to see him still available at #15 in the Draft, only to see the Knicks choose Weis. This guy might be a nutjob at times, but he plays hard and is a winning player. I can't say much for his dad though, who was scalping tickets while sitting in front of me at Alumni Hall during Ron's freshman season! They were obviously free tickets given to family members. I was in the 3rd row, Ron's dad in the 2nd. My dad has since seen him still scalping, even after Ron started his NBA career! |

I'm shaking my head and laughing. Its hard to believe that people are that stupid. I'm hoping he gets arrested. It'll give me something to laugh about. |

Yeah, we weren't shocked when Ron was still playing at St. John's since it was well known that they had like 15 family members living in one apartment in Queens, but my dad was very disappointed to see Mr. Artest still scalping now that his son is a multi-millionaire. |

I'm being sarcastic. Besides 1 or 2 of the players, they are not really "thugs and criminals". |

That's not sarcasm. Sarcasm would have been you saying that they're a wonderful group of young men and that you would trust your first born in their care. I don't need the hug, I never stopped loving you. |

Wow. Back then, he had to hustle to feed the tribe, now I guess its just become natural. Does he have a job? I know that the parents of some wealthy people continue to work (Oprah's father was still cutting hair until like 5 years ago), but why the hell would someone continue to do something illegal and risky? I wonder what the son thinks of it. |
