Did he call us a functional NBA team?

Got to put Chandler #2. Little offense, but his D is a game changer, as season changer even, as we saw with the Mavs.

'80s Kareem over '90s Olajuwon? Not a chance.

I meant Derrick Williams not Michael Williams, obviously. Sorry for the double post, my edit option doesn't work. I figured the shame of a wasted post was less grievous than such an egregious error.

I'm not on board with all this "not fit our needs" talk. Is there anyone on this team who is a sure thing for next year? Even our best players, Al Jefferson and Paul Milsap aren't sure bets as long term fixtures. Jazz need to go with any player they think has star potential regardless of...

This photo is evidence he's superhuman...

Can't I believe I'm saying this, but...Denver. Love how they've come together, and winning the West would stick it to Crymello so hard. I'd love to see that happen, though it will not.

...after the SI Cover photo. He's a national darling. Grown men are ga ga over the Jimmer. Thoughts?

Guys. We need NJ to win, win, win! How are we going to justify taking Jimmer in the top 5? Jazz fall to the 8-10 range and sweet lil' Jimmer is ours FOREVER!

Yep, all true Starburies, though I'd disagree with the Webber inclusion. Early in his career, I'd agree, but that Sacto team was robbed, and might have won the title but for the NBA pulling a fast one. Al Jefferson is an interesting choice. I'd have to say his career trajectory thus far merits...

The Starburies (named after Stephon Marbury) are a select group of players who are actually good ballers, but for reasons of their own making are, to put it bluntly, losers. Perhaps their teams are better when they leave or are injured (The Ewing Theory). Perhaps when they join a new team they...

Thank you for that walk down memory lane...

It's never good when the interviewer is speaking 800% more than the interviewee. I saw it on NBA TV, which did not show her during the interview, though when they cut to CJ's mom about 5 seconds later, she had one of those wtf!!! looks. Then she noticed the camera and tried to wipe the disgust...

Speaking of Luther Wright, I was at the Delta Center draft party when the Jazz selected him. I remember this very clearly. I booed the pick loudly. It was the only boo in the entire building and it resonated to the point where Andre Aldridge, who was the sports anchor for one of the channels...

Here's a hint...make the content of the thread relate to its title! Now what's this about a book?
