John Stockton? He's about as white as you can get.

[bsox0407]

John Stockton? He's about as white as you can get.

 

I meant right now. lol. And from the US.

[Emmz]

John Stockton was incredible. and yes, he's got to be one of the whitest looking dudes you could ever see. Amazing passer, great shooter. IMO, Malone owes plenty of his success to the greatest passer of all time.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Gallinari is such a great addition to the Nuggets.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nothing worse than losing in OT. Crap.

[Divinity]

I dunno, I'd say Knicks losing to the Cav's tonight was worse.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Cavs always have the Knicks number. I think with that win they won the last 10 of 11 meetings. Of course the Cavs had LeBron but still. Funny how they beat the best teams. I just want them one time to beat the heat(personal reasons).

LEON POWE!!!!! Holy awesomesauce batman!

 

Easily my favorite bench player of all time. Wikipedia says he is already on the Celtics again.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lmao come on now Pal. You should know that wikipedia can be edited by anyone.

[Palodios]

I said wikipedia said it, but I never said it was true haha. I was more excited about the prospect about getting him back, no idea if he'll actually end up being back with the Celtics, but it seems like too perfect a scenario in the Cleveland deal.

[italstallianion]

Haha could you imagine if someone edited the Wikipedia page and said that Brian Scalabrine was coming back. It'd be as if the Red Sox won another World Series.

[Palodios]

FACT: The Celtics have not won a NBA Finals since Scal left.

[italstallianion]

Fact: Only Celtics fans think that he's good.

Easily my favorite bench player of all time. Wikipedia says he is already on the Celtics again.

 

I always loved him because he has starter-level per 36 minutes stats. He averages something like 15 points and 10 rebounds per 36, the Celtics could really use his help right now too.

[Palodios]

Do you remember the Leon Powe special during the 2008 Finals? About how his father left them when he was two, and his family was homeless, and kept moving around?

 

Turns out, he was named after his father, and is "Leon Powe Jr.". Strangely enough, he named his son Leon Powe the third. I find that incredibly strange.

[yankees228]

It says a lot about how they've been in recent years, but this might have been the best Knicks' win since 2001. Certainly feels that way.

[Jasonbay44]

Speaking of Scalabrine, I was at Wizards/Bulls game tonight and once game became a blow out, all the Bulls fans were chanting "SCAL-A-BREEN-E". Then he comes into the game with a minute left, and banks in a jumper and the whole entire crowd and the Bulls bench went crazy. The reaction of the Bulls bench was pretty funny.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lmao. I need to watch the highlights.

[italstallianion]

Same thing happened when I went with a roomate to a Knicks/Celtics PRESEASON game. Whenever he entered the game, my friend and I would stand up and yell "SCAL-A-BREEN-E" and get the crowd going. Granted, we were both making fun of his cult following in Boston, but I don't think that the Celtics fans picked up on that, even if my roommate was in his Knicks gear and I had my Spurs Jersey and fitted.

 

And god forbid that Scalabrine made a 3 (which he did) because it was almost as if the Red Sox won the World Series again. The place went nuts for a few minutes, long after Scalabrine had been called back to the bench.

[Emmz]

Sounds like Mark Madsen.

[Jasonbay44]

Lmao. I need to watch the highlights.

 

The quality sucks and I mean the quality REALLY sucks, but here is video of the shot and the reaction of the crowd and Bulls bench.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Thanks dude.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The ironic part is how much Boston hated Scalabrine those first two seasons.
