   NBA Players You Saw When They Were In High School

   November 25, 2019 by T.G.

   Got off track on a conversation in the main forum and thought I'd bring the conversation here... Does anyone here watch high school basketball? I used to. Stopped watching basketball all together a while back (but that's another story). Who have you seen in high school that made it to the NBA? I have a long list - but the one guy who stood out the most to me is Jason Kidd. I saw him when he was a sophomore in high school and he looked like a man among boys at that age. His game was awesome. I lived in San Jose at the time and went to see him in a tournament. I also saw Paul PIerce when he was at Inglewood. He actually played the point. My al…

   Sources: Steve Ballmer exploring sites for new Clippers arena

   Sources: Steve Ballmer exploring sites for new Clippers arena Interesting. Maybe Carson, since they lost out on the Rams? Of course a Ducks/Clippers I would think has to be in the cards, but that's east side (but at least it's closer to where they originally came from). Just by the tone, it doesn't seem like they would move to Inglewood. City of Industry? But that is east side. Irvine also has to be in the cards.

    This was a horrific crash, at 2:30 this morning. His wife was also killed. LAPD said the car was speeding and the driver lost control, hit a parking meter and then the side of a department store. Butler played for several teams during a 13-year career, including the Clippers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/01/31/former-nba-player-rasual-butler-and-his-wife-reportedly-killed-in-car-crash/?utm_term=.388e91d41ed0

    NBA uniforms for 2017-18

    According to the report on KNX 1070 this afternoon, each team will have four uniforms next season. Gone will be the tradition of the home team wearing white and the road team wearing dark. The home team will have the right to wear whichever uniform it desires and will somehow have to let the road team know in advance so that they can wear "a contrasting color." thoughts? also saw something about the new celtics jerseys having an ad over the heart. don't like the idea of ads one bit.

    “The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat.” According to Kyle Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Obviously he has never read a textbook or looked out of a plane window on his flights to and from venues but he is adamant the Earth is flat and the round Earth people are all part of a conspiracy. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/kyrie-irving-does-not-believe-that-the-earth-is-round/ar-AAn4d9I?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp And this guy got a 5 year $95 million dollar contract.

    Luke Walton Not Qualified To Coach Lakers

    June 2, 2016 by John Stellman

    • 15 replies
    • 2.3k views

    Maybe I'm alone on this one, but 36-year old Luke Walton's first permanent head coaching job should NOT be with the Lakers. His credentials? An assistant with the University of Memphis during the 2011 lockout, player development coach with Defenders and two years as an assistant with Golden State. I'll give you that he started the season with a record 24 straight wins, and had a 39-4 record when Steve Kerr returned. But any marquee free agent will want to play for a veteran coach who has experience and has been successful. The Lakers could have hired Tom Thibodeau or Scott Brooks who both carry impressive resumes. Former coaches Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson were also …
