i dunno if i wasnt a lakers fan i would probably be a clippers fan.
theyre pretty solid. missing maybe just 1 piece
if they got a superstar SG they could make a run at OKC for 2nd best team in the WC
Yeah the Clippers are good but the Lakers have Nash Gasol and DWIGHT HOWARD. When you factor in just last year Nash made Gortat look not horrible this combination is obviously scary. As a Nash fan I've always dreamt he would get to play with Howard. DREAMS DO COME TRUE. And really f Kobe lol. Nash for fmvp.
“They are trying to stack the deck over there, but I tell you what - I'm very pleased with my team and what we've been able to do and I will just say this - don't nobody scare me, man,” said the former Piston with a chuckle.
I love how OP intentionally erased this part. But at least you can admit this is a non-story, and should be a non-thread.
Remind me how the 04 finals went? Who was the FMVP?
My comment did not dispute whether or not he should be scared or if the Clippers will be able to compete with the Lakers...
I was simply pointing out that emphasizing That You Are Not Scared shows a little bit of low self esteem, even if its unintentional. I suspect that somewhere in that conversation he was being asked directly if he was scared, thus prompting that response. Typically if a person is not afraid they dont make an effort to state it emphatically.
Btw, Im not hating, I am a fan of both teams.. I support LA implicitly.
and he did have a choice. he could have went to europe for more money. but because he was still making money from his other contract ontop of the minimum offer. he was fine with sticking around in the nba in hopes of a stacked deck team making a run at a title
Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
If you don't know how the Amnesty clause works then shush.
If you don't know that FIBA teams and the NBA have a deal in place that would prevent Billups from going to Europe then shush

Nice try but the actual rest of the quote was this:

I miss that 04 Pistons team though. I can't let go!
