sometimes practice is more fun than the games

If you’re the 12th man.

Practice can be much more fun than games,really.

coach, aren’t you the guy who made that jena 6/ jenna jameson joke? no dis homie, but… you could use a ghostwriter. oh and… http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/

Hisham says:
if you’re a starter too, eboy.. i should know, i was one

Sep.24 at 11:39 am

Hisham says:
when you play on a young, athletic team in a league where almost half the teams consist of old veterans who clog up the paint all the time, the games are no fun.. especially if you can’t beat those old guys.. that is f***ing FRUSTRATING!

Sep.24 at 11:48 am

white hot eboy says:
Izzo, spoken like a true 12th man.

Sep.24 at 11:50 am

H to the izzo says:
Eboy,It was spoken like someone who had a horrible basketball experience over the weekend

Sep.24 at 11:53 am

white hot eboy says:
God, I would love to hear the abbreviated version of that.

Sep.24 at 11:55 am

H to the izzo says:
Three words :Bad,Losing and depression.

Sep.24 at 11:57 am

Hisham says:
do you play on a high level, izzo? (for irish standards, anyway?)

Sep.24 at 11:57 am

white hot eboy says:
Damn son, someone would think you’re actually getting PAID to play. I like that commitment to sorry-fullness.

Sep.24 at 11:59 am

H to the izzo says:
Hisham,I’m a reserve on a semi-pro team and also play on a team in my own age group,the latter was were the depressing experience came from

Sep.24 at 12:00 pm

Hisham says:
i kinda envy your bad weekend izzo.. at least you got to play!

Sep.24 at 12:00 pm

Reggie Evans says:
I thought this had to do with the TV show.

Sep.24 at 12:00 pm

H to the izzo says:
Eboy,I practice too much for it not to affect me,plus that was kinda my team also and out in the first round.Lets just move on…

Sep.24 at 12:01 pm

Hisham says:
cool. that’s pretty good.. i tried out for a team in our highest amateur division, and was the last player cut. so i’m taking the year off to work on my game

Sep.24 at 12:02 pm

SnakefromHell says:
AI wants to be a leader… it’s important for us Nuggets to have him do this because that’s what leaders do and set examples.

Sep.24 at 12:05 pm

white hot eboy says:
Izzo=the Irish Kobe.

Sep.24 at 12:05 pm

Hisham says:
so i guess that makes me a former potential 12th man haha.. does it get any sadder?

Sep.24 at 12:07 pm

H to the izzo says:
Eboy,you missed out in the obvious Dirk comparison,you’re slipping.

Sep.24 at 12:10 pm

white hot eboy says:
Izzo, you used the term “my team” which kind of leads me to believe that you think you are a “leader” of some form on said team. Kobe fits the “leader” term (a poor one to be sure)& Dirk couldn’t lead a herd of sheep so I didn’t use him by contrast.

Sep.24 at 12:11 pm

H to the izzo says:
Loss in the first round=Dirk.Why am I insulting myself?

Sep.24 at 12:14 pm

white hot eboy says:
Kobe has done that 2 years in a row, and if we’re cutting hairs, throw D-Wade in there too.

Playing people twice as good as you in games and losing is twice as fun as shooting drills and running around in circles

Are we talking about practice? I mean…

Sep.24 at 2:25 pm

Tarzan Cooper says:
funny how izzo says the old guys just pack in the paint, that means open jump shots all day. all you gotta do, if you can, is post those geezers up, do a lil dream shake=2pts. but you are probably like most dudes and dont have a post game.

Sep.24 at 2:34 pm

white hot eboy says:
Tarzan dreams of being the Dream. Hisham was the guilty party, btw. Guys that ride on windmills don’t like any type of obstruction.

Sep.24 at 2:42 pm

Tarzan Cooper says:
yea, i got them confused because they were both whining about how they suck. guys make the post game harder than what it is. keep the ball up high, shot fakes, you will either get a layup or a wide open teammate.

Sep.24 at 2:47 pm

white hot eboy says:
Tarzan, it also helps to have good footwork, great counter moves, lower body strength, a high amount of patience and a tolerance for bitc* players grabbing, holding and kneeing your progress to the basket. Otherwise, it’s a breeze.

Sep.24 at 2:48 pm

H to the izzo says:
Tarzan:Not to sound arrogant or anything,but what level have you played at?Have you ever come up against a 6′10′’ guy at the end of a break?When you play against pros its a whole other level

Sep.24 at 3:08 pm

Allenp says:
The new warm and fuzzy Iverson is boring. I liked it when he didn’t give an eff. That practice interview was the trillest ever. And he made good points about teh media and about Larry Brown. Everybody was just blind to the facts then.

Sep.24 at 3:11 pm

H to the izzo says:
Its called maturity Allenp

Sep.24 at 3:54 pm

Dyce says:
Why practice dribbling the ball for 18 seconds trying to find youself a shot AI. You should have stuck with your statement you didn’t need practice, eric snow did.

Sep.24 at 4:00 pm

Tarzan Cooper says:
eboy, i have all those things. ive played soccer my whole life, taekwondo for over 10 years, etc. izzo, a floater works great in those situations. dont get it twisted, im not saying im nba caliber but i think im a little more than ok.

Sep.24 at 4:09 pm

white hot eboy says:
I wish that one day there could be a SLAM basketball summit were the readers that play ball could compete in a one-on-one forum for some type of a SLAM sponsored prize. Autographed Pin Ping paraphenalia, a lifetime subscription, a guest piece in the mag, a game-worn Lang Whitaker Braves hat, a Ryan Jones pitchfork, Sam’s race-worn shoes, something tight like that. The logistics are overwhelming but the impending results and games would be epic in their hillarity.

Sep.24 at 4:11 pm

Tarzan Cooper says:
eboy, is the pingping paraphenalia a bong or something?

Sep.24 at 4:18 pm

white hot eboy says:
Tarzan,as long as you’re burnt-green down, you’ll be an easy out in the SLAM tourney, regardless of your skill level. BONG!!!!!!!!!!!

deepspace5 says:
have you noticed that black players who disdain practice are criticized much more than white players who do the same?

Sep.24 at 5:05 pm

Tarzan Cooper says:
actually, eboy, i recently quit.

Sep.24 at 5:46 pm

Allenp says:
Izzo, maturity is fine. Speaking your mind is better. Iverson did it his way, but through it all he was always confused that people didn’t accept him. Now, he’s much more accepted by mainstream American because they feel he has “mellowed” or “matured.” Actually, he’s basically the same person he’s just more careful in how he presents himself to the media. So, I liked it when he spoke from his heart in the practice interview, when he pointed out the absurdity of the media running with every coach’s comments without verification and the ridiculousness of people casitgating him when they see the abuse he endures on the court. I liked that Iverson because he said what needed to be said.

Sep.24 at 5:46 pm

Allenp says:
And deepspace5 is an unfunny prick.

Sep.24 at 5:57 pm

H to the izzo says:
Speaking your mind isn’t exactly an acheivement,lots of people did like Hitler and the Cookie Monster,speaking your mind doesn’t mean much if all thats on your mind is “kill jews” and “cookie,cookie,cookie!!”
But seriously I can see your point but A.I occasionally took it overboard.I don’t know which A.I I prefer though

I liked the AI that was a world-beating, take on all comers, don’t give a fuc*, “yeah I’m small, so fuc*in’ what” PLAYER. Fuc* the other bullshi*, Steph’s got that market cornered from this point forward. BTW Izzo, I bet if Hitler would have had some Seseme Street love, he might have been a little bit more mellow.
