    This guy is cracy. He is a die hard Boston fan living in LA. I think is a great read but most of what he is talking about is just crap. But it is funny and he know many thinks about NBA history and players. But i was reading some old stuffs in ESPN.com and this is what he was talking about before the playoffs.
    His MVP
    1. LeBron James
    2. Kevin Durant
    3. Dwight Howard
    4. Steve Nash
    5. Dwyane Wade
    6. Kobe Bryant
    7. Deron Williams
    8. Dirk Nowitzki
    9. Carmelo Anthony
    10. Greg Oden's Cell Phone Camera

    2. Curry ROY
    3. Cleveland will win it all this year
    4. He does not think Spurs will be great in the playoffs
    5. Boston will lose to Miami in the first round.
    6. Cleveland vs Dallas in the finals
    7. Brandon Roy will not play in the playoffs
    8. Denver will not be good with out karl
    can prove that the Disease of More exists



    Our latest example: the 2009-10 Los Angeles Lakers. Just a classic year-after season, highlighted by Kobe grimly refusing to give up shots because he can smell the faint fumes of Karl Malone's scoring record; Gasol griping about Kobe's shot selection; Odom cruising through the season with "I just got paid and I just got married" intensity; Bynum griping about his minutes; Ron Artest launching a reality show; Farmar pressing because he's in a contract year; and the utterly amazing fact that DJ Mbenga has a publicist. You win a title, you get soft and everyone wants more: more shots, more money, more minutes, more everything. That's why Pat Riley called it the "Disease of More." That's why Bill Russell once wrote, "it's much harder to keep a championship than to win one."

    Look, I know it's confusing as hell that a team as loaded as the Lakers might not make the Finals. Just know that we have decades of NBA evidence to back this up: You can't win without chemistry.

    I like him. He's a good read.

    And what the fuck, you drunk? That first paragraph was painful
