(to illustrate, it’s almost 4 in the afternoon here..) mutoni you need to wake up at about 3 in the morning alright? thank you

Sep.13 at 9:45 am

Hisham says:
pleny to write about in the middle of the night

Sep.13 at 9:49 am

mutoni says:
no problem, dude.

Hisham, the SLAM credo the last few weeks is to not posting anything until lunch time (12:00p EST). With the exception of the news section, (and Sam’s occasional posts)the summertime blues are eating the site early mornings in the US. Plus there’s not much to report basketball wise. One more month. One more month.

Sep.13 at 9:50 am

Hisham says:
*plenty*

Sep.13 at 9:54 am

Hisham says:
yeah, i can’t wait! i’ve been watching classic tapes all summer, in my raggedy old VCR.. Last one i watched was a young reggie dropping 57 on the young hornets.. he had about two minutes left to make it 60, and kept jacking op threes.. funny that he’s not that clutch when it doesn’t really count..

white hot eboy says:
Hisham, I’ve been going through my DVR copies of the 96 Bulls 72 win season. It’s nice to watch a team that wants to win every game they play. Unlike most of the teams today that run and hide when a game gets away from them early. Greatness is hard to duplicate.

Sep.13 at 9:59 am

Hisham says:
also fun: MJ’s 69
Larry vs Dominique in the ECF
Finals 2001, Game 1
WCF 2000
1993 finals 3OT game
Barkley scoring 28(?) in the first quarter against Gstate in 1994 playoffs

Sep.13 at 10:04 am

Hisham says:
that barkley game is insane.. those points are on 100% shooting too.. threes, dunks, putbacks everything

Sep.13 at 10:05 am

white hot eboy says:
Is it bad that I am actually looking forward to watching Game 4 of the WNBA Finals tonight?

Sep.13 at 10:06 am

Keith says:
Hisham,: you’re one bored dude huh? I share your pain. I must come on here every 30 minutes or less to check if there is anything else going on…there never is.

Sep.13 at 10:07 am

Hisham says:
Basketball Jooooooones, i got a basketball joones, i got a basketball jones oh baby oooooooooooh

Sep.13 at 10:07 am

white hot eboy says:
Hisham, Barkley was ridiculous when he got into a groove. He was a natural scorer and more explosive than almost everyone else in the league early in his career.

Sep.13 at 10:07 am

Keith says:
WNBA is as entertaining as dog fighting. Make of that, what you will.

Sep.13 at 10:08 am

Hisham says:
and keith: i am actually at work!! so that should mean i’ve got stuff to do right? oh well..

Sep.13 at 10:09 am

white hot eboy says:
Keith, that’s very, very mean.

Sep.13 at 10:10 am

Keith says:
Same here Hisham. I try and ban myself from using the internet but I am as weak as Shawn Bradley so I only last 20 minutes or so. “I’ll just infish this task and then I’ll have a look on Slam…”.

Sep.13 at 10:11 am

Keith says:
Oh come on Eboy, it’s not like I’m saying the WNBA players LOOK like dogs..

Sep.13 at 10:15 am

white hot eboy says:
Oh, I thought that was a more appropriate comparison. I think there’s only one chick in the Finals that I’d lay down with and her ass is probably 7 inches taller than me. She plays for Phoenix. Big blond. Can’t think of her name though.

Sep.13 at 10:19 am

Keith says:
“Lay down with”? Oh Eboy, you need to think outside the box..laying down isn’t the only position!

Sep.13 at 10:21 am

white hot eboy says:
I was trying to keep it sterile for Holly’s sake. See, I’m thinking about your feelings, lady.

Sep.13 at 10:22 am

Keith says:
Eboy, were you thinking of Mike Miller. He has long hair and is a bit of a girl…

Sep.13 at 10:22 am

Keith says:
ah, you are excused then..

Sep.13 at 10:24 am

white hot eboy says:
Do you think Mike knows that every fan of the NBA thinks he looks like a half a fag? At least let it be free like Dirk’s rat nest.

Sep.13 at 10:27 am

Keith says:
What is it about ‘Miller’s’ anyway? If you’re a male Miller you either look like a girl (Mike) or an alien (Reggie) and if you’re a girl (Cheryl) you look like a dude.

Sep.13 at 10:29 am

white hot eboy says:
Or if your first name is Oliver, you look like the black Marshmallow Man.

Sep.13 at 10:30 am

Keith says:
And if your name is Darko, you shouldn’t ever open your mouth again.

Sep.13 at 10:56 am

Hisham says:
great, i go away for a half hour and this is the mess i come back to?

Sep.13 at 10:56 am

Gilbert0 says:
eboy, do you think Mike cares? I would hazard a guess and say he dont give a f*ck

Sep.13 at 10:58 am

Hisham says:
and if your name is percy, you’re bout it bout it

Sep.13 at 10:59 am

Hisham says:
and if your first name is miller, your last name is light

Sep.13 at 10:59 am

Hisham says:
or is it lite?

Sep.13 at 11:00 am

Adrian says:
What percent of posts would you say are actually related to the topic these days? 5%? 1%? Less?

Sep.13 at 11:03 am

white hot eboy says:
Adrian, .73%.

Sep.13 at 11:04 am

Adrian says:
At least football has started…and the Rugby World Cup is on, as are Euro qualifiers…something to keep me entertained until the season starts.

Sep.13 at 11:08 am

Keith says:
The only reason for these posts being nothing about the actual topic is because the articles themselves don’t give us anything to talk about!

Sep.13 at 11:09 am

Keith says:
The fact that I have the worlds shortest attention span doesn’t come into it..

Sep.13 at 11:09 am

H to the izzo says:
Adrian please don’t mention the rugby,I may go on an angry rant or start on the whiskey early

Sep.13 at 11:10 am

H to the izzo says:
Or the Euro Qualifiers for that matter

Sep.13 at 11:13 am

SMK says:
Euro 2008 qualifiers - Scotland over France woooo! Do they play in kilts?

Sep.13 at 11:13 am

Keith says:
Izzo where you from? Ireland? Unlucky.

Sep.13 at 11:14 am

Adrian says:
Ahh yeah…just beat France, you’ll be right haha.

Sep.13 at 11:14 am

SMK says:
Oh and congratulations to Mr. Russell, a fine basketball player in all respects.

Sep.13 at 11:15 am

H to the izzo says:
The soccer,Okay we’re sh*t but we had a legitimate chance at winning or doing well in the rugby world cup,and who the f*ck are Namibia?I’d better stop

Sep.13 at 11:18 am

Adrian says:
Well, what’d you think, you’d beat them 91-3 or something? Don’t be ridiculous, you’d never see scores like that in the World Cup. Oh, wait…

Sep.13 at 11:20 am

Hisham says:
anybody watch albania-holland? looked like a tag-kickboxing bout! these eastern earopean guys don’t play.. we squeezed it out though.. YES

Sep.13 at 11:20 am

white hot eboy says:
I hate Euro’s!

Sep.13 at 11:20 am

Keith says:
Out of the 17 comments I have made today, only 2 of them relate to the initial article. And one of those was just abuse.

Sep.13 at 11:22 am

H to the izzo says:
We have a top three hooker in the world riding he bench while a fat pie chucker gets a start,one of the best flankers and set of backs in the world and we can’t do sh*t against Namibia?I really will stop now

Sep.13 at 11:22 am

Adrian says:
That’s still significantly more than .73% Keith, so be proud that you’re bringing up the average.

Sep.13 at 11:23 am

white hot eboy says:
“a top three hooker”. Heidi Fleiss is playing for you guys?

Sep.13 at 11:23 am

H to the izzo says:
Russell only getting in now is a disgrace while a German shot clock operator probably got in ten years ago

Sep.13 at 11:24 am

H to the izzo says:
I knew I should have put in an explaination for you Eboy

Sep.13 at 11:25 am

Hisham says:
euro’s are sure kicking the dollar’s green ass

Sep.13 at 11:28 am

Hisham says:
TOPIC RELATED shouldn’t there be a rule that requires you to have played in fiba competition to get into their hall of fame? at least the german shot clock operator had something to do with fiba basketball izzo

Sep.13 at 11:32 am

H to the izzo says:
Coming from someone who has played in FIBA sanctioned comp,FIBA is a joke

Sep.13 at 11:32 am

H to the izzo says:
I may actually get in the HOF before LeBron

Sep.13 at 11:34 am

Adrian says:
You’ve got my vote Izzo.

Sep.13 at 11:36 am

white hot eboy says:
Izzo, be truthful. Did you atually play in a game, or did you get a DNP from the coach? And if you did play, did you live up to your MO of missing crucial free-throws?

Sep.13 at 11:40 am

H to the izzo says:
I think it was an under 14 international game,the first and last one I played.I got some burn

Sep.13 at 11:43 am

white hot eboy says:
Izzo, I would boycott your move to the FIBA Hall. Out of love, of course.

Sep.13 at 11:44 am

H to the izzo says:
I really wouldn’t expect anything less Eboy.

Sep.13 at 11:47 am

Hisham says:
and so is every large international sports association.. FIFA is the mother of jokes

Sep.13 at 11:51 am

H to the izzo says:
At least FIFA don’t hold their tournaments in the remotest location they can come up with

Sep.13 at 11:53 am

white hot eboy says:
I bet whoever posted this never thought it would get to 66+ posts

Sep.13 at 11:59 am

Myles Brown says:
Kobe! Now it makes sense….

Sep.13 at 12:03 pm

Adrian says:
Yes, good thing it is in NO way indicative of the excitement that is our lives, Eboy.

Sep.13 at 12:04 pm

H to the izzo says:
I’ll probably get in before Kobe too,moo-ha-ha

Sep.13 at 12:06 pm

Myles Brown says:
An evil cow you are Izzo.

Nick Graber says:
OMG about time!!! Bill Russel has accomplished more features then alot of past and present players, there will never be another like em. Now that KG’s in Boston maybe they can finally caputre a championship since they got a big man and 2 of the best players in the NBA. They havent won a title since 88″ when Bird was slowly winding down. The cavs are now gonna have someone to compete with them in the Eastern Confrence now.

Favorite thing about the post, when they were talking about the Greece “god” and how he was inducted infront of about two….dozen people. Ouch
