Anyone who picks a regular season game deserves to be banned.

And where the f*ck are Shaq's games in the Finals when he was a Laker ? And where the f*ck is Duncan's near quadruple double in the Finals ?

Tim Duncan's Game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals:

21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 0 steals, 8 blocks, 9-19 FG-FGA

Great line.
