There are like only dudes on the first photo :lol:

Seems nice. He definitely can´t complain. Outside of his team ofcourse

But yeah he got overpaid. He had a nice ending to the season and Houston offered a bit less. Still it would be a better option to stay. Mchale apparently really wanted him. And I do think that he is better then Lin. Offers more on the PG position not just mainly pick and roll game while being a much better defensive player.

And he chose Beasley over Harden :lol:

Senatore_M84 · Feb 1, 2013

Houston wouldn't pay him half though.

They're purposely not signing big contracts to create space for deals like harden. It's smart

Senatore_M84 · Feb 1, 2013

Bogut's played 48 minutes on his return (we have him on a 24 mpg cap for now... I've heard until all-star break, to slowly get him back, a la what spurs did with duncan last 2 years)-

48 mins-

20 points (53%), 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 7 blocks

Yep, don't tell me he doesn't make a difference. Dude led NBA in blocks twice, and is just behind a healthy Dwight as best defensive force in NBA, if he's healthy. My opinions always been 'most important position on a team is "best player"' however if you actually want to define a position as most important, it's center. I'll take a Shaq or Robinson over a Kobe or Wade any day of week.

Klay bailed our all out again....

At a certain point, we have to consider fact Steph and Klay may not be compatible. Klay only goes off when Steph's out. But Steph is prolly greatest 3pt shooter in nBA history :-/

All i know is, Stephs missed 2 games and Klay goes

13-24, 32 points (6 3's)
11-18, 27 points (3 3's)

that was hilarious

though it seemed he was yelling at himself more.

I control it like a man....

:lol:

Though seriously, he's mad at thabo for cutting. He ruined the spacing

what a bitch :lol:

Madridista · Feb 1, 2013

what an awkward interview :lol:

I love Westbrook but that was a typical brainfart of a play, he should have passed to Thabo cutting or dish it outside to Durant

Oh he was wrong but I get why he's mad

He was posting up. He'd been on fire. Especially on that play. And Thabo moves to wrong spot and brought a double at him. Real dumb

Durant was heavily covered

Still had a great game though.

@interview- Russ is the ULTIMATE troll

He does that media stuff on purpose. If you've seen his interviews he's always fucking with them

Everyone's a pop wannabe :lol:

Sage · Feb 1, 2013

so he dresses up like a clown to troll the media?

I think he's trolling himself.

He's trolling the NBA dress code. Dress code requires you to wear certain things, and technically he 'does' :lol:

gq 25 best dressed

and for the awkward quote of the year-
"I pay attention to Russ," his coach Scott Brooks said. "But I can't believe he's in the top 25. Although, I will say, he's good looking with a great body. He can wear anything and he's going to look good in it."

OMG :lol:

. He's got an unbelieveable body :lol:

http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com/0...stbrook/landing_mavericks.html?blockID=844161

I really think he doens't give a fuck about you or the media. #scorpio

-

Smart move though. He gained himself a shitload of sponsorships off the attention. Able ot cross over to mainstream, away from sports fans. Stuff only like lebron, durant, kobe (biggest name/stars) do...

harden did similar w/ the beard.

I'm a firm believer its calculated

Sage · Feb 1, 2013

oh yeah he's a scorpio, it's no wonder he's a prick :lol:

Senatore_M84 · Feb 1, 2013

btches love russell-

Russ gives back to community-

Why Not give back? Russell Westbrook certainly is this holiday season, as the OKC guard fed over 400 Oklahoma City residents this past Tuesday at the Boys & Girls Club, while Russ’ parents simultaneously fed over 300 families in Westbrook’s hometown of South Central Los Angeles. Check out photos of the two events in the gallery above.

Russell Westbrook doesn't say much, but his bracelets speak volumes.

Before every game, Oklahoma City's point guard slips two rubber bracelets onto each wrist; an orange one with "KB3" written in blue and a blue one with "Why not?" written in orange.

The story of their meaning, of their solemn pledge, intertwined as the colors that bind them, is the story of what drives the Thunder's rising young star.

that's why they're bitches

crazy4milan · Feb 1, 2013

The Westbrook clothing phenomenon reminds me of what happened with Becks late in the 90's early 00's. People thinking he's and idiot cause of the focus on his looks (and people using that to hate on his game)...but what he did was create a massive brand still going strong as ever 10 years later...and actually gain a lot of respect as a footballer and a hard working pro. Pretty smart actually.

justhope · Feb 1, 2013

dont even dare to compare beck;s style with westrook

lol :lol:

there are no 'real' fans in the NBA in general. Its all about entertainment there, like going to cinema. no hooligans which sucks

So I wouldnt shit on Clippers fans, they are same as the rest.

I was listening to Jalen Rose and he said Lakers should trade Howard for Kyle Korver and Al Horford. And I agree. Would be a much better fit and if Lakers should trade anyone it should be Howard.

justhope · Feb 3, 2013

Howard has injury problems I know but he gives way much more defense than gasol and he is younger
