RIP Raymond Felton. LB devours point guards for a living. He's one of the most brilliant minds in coaching, but he's also one of the most authoritative and physically taxing people to be coached by.



9 teams he's coached now....most of any coach in all of sportsdom.

boy do I miss Costas doing the NBA.....that season ending montage/monologue is one of my fondest memories about the NBA, man.

I had a lot of mixed emotions watching that series as a kid because Penny was my overall favorite baller at that time and Hakeen, although he always had a knack for shi!tting all over my Lakers and Warrior teams at the time, was without a doubt my favorite centre to watch....I realize that it's not feasible, but I was rooting for them both.....I was just a gloryhuntin' kid, man....I didn't know any better.


Anyway, I get goosebumps watching that series. I cursed my parents for not taping it for me at the time, but I later got a VHS tapes of the entire series and lost them when I was moving here and never forgave myself for it until I recently downloaded it from the net......awesome ****, man.

You're actually 100% wrong, if there is any player on our roster that will succeed under LB it's gotta be Raymond Felton.

wtf? How can I be wrong when I'm sympathizing with the kid? I'm just saying that LB is very infamous for being ruthless to young players, especially point guards. He's all about breaking down a player and rebuilding him back up to his own image....it takes a special kind of character and temperament to handle such a process, so stop getting overly defensive about yer player, man.

You said "RIP Raymond Felton"

I assumed you meant like oh now that LB is the coach Felton is done as a player in the NBA cas he won't be able to handle all the thigns that LB demands.

nah, bro. I don't know enough about Raymond's makeup to make such an appraisal about the kid. Look, who would've thought that Billups would've matured and turned his careening career around under LB with his past history and character issues in regards to being instructed?


I would've utter that "RIP' at just about every PG in the league right now, man....but especially the younger, unproven ones. Like I've said already, he's a very demanding individual on his point men.


We'll see how RF handles it all, man.

It's a shame they can't play that game 7 in Atlanta b/c that would be a wrap. The Celtics are gonna win it in Boston but I still can't believe this series.

LB in Charlotte sound a lot like a repeat of him in NY. he couldn't work with Isiah, what makes you believe he would be able to take crap from MJ? LB is a primadona and he will clash with Jordan sooner than later. Just watch.

Jordan and Brown have been friends forever and they basically have buttsecks every day. I doubt there will be any sort of "clash" between them. That's just something the media wants to create because well they're the media and they're looking for stories.

Plus there's no way that's gonna happen because MJ is never actually in town doing he's job, he's on some tropical island playing golf most of the time.

Lamar Odom is a baller dude, he doesn't really have any weaknesses and is vastly underrated. So that probably means you lied on the survey.

I'm Raja Bell.

Whoever turns out to be Kobe better watch out cuz I'm about to clothesline your ass.

I am Rasheed Wallace (H)

Anyways, shame on you guys. No one even mentioned that Mike D'antoni is the new headcoach of the NY Knicks. Stephon Marburys' career in NY seems to be coming to an end.

I am not sure what to make of this hire. D'antoni is the 7 senonds man. The Knicks need 7 seconds just to turn around let alone running around the field in that much time.
