ClesStahn's NBA Questions Topic

[ClesStahn]

This is..erm..."ClesStahn's NBA Questions Topic"! I'm gonna use this to ask questions I might have, 'cuz I'm always watching games or whatever, and I always have questions:

1. Is Ben Wallace the brother of Rasheed Wallace?

2. Why does Rasheed Wallace never shut up?

3. Why did the Mavericks trade Jason Kidd?

4. Why doesn't Shawn Bradley (Mavericks, 7"6") build some muscle and get some aggression? (This next statement is not meant offensive) Is it because he's a mormon?

5. "Muggsy" Bogues was 5"3", does he have the record as the shortest NBA player ever? If not, who does, and how tall was/is he?

6. Why do people always say Phil Jackson is such a great coach? I mean, the teams he's had have had Jordan/Pippen/Rodman, and Shaq/Kobe/Fisher.

7. Who else thinks Don Nelson is a great coach?

8. Whatever happened to Antoine Rigadeau on the Mavs?

9. Where's Vince Carter?

10. Why do almost all the teams in the Eastern Conference have bad shooting? And, why do they all seem to have just one very very very good player? (Kidd, McGrady)

1. No Ben Wallace & Rasheed aren't related.
2. Who knows why Rasheed never shuts up.
3. The Mavericks don't need Jason, they got a good point guard in Steve Nash now.
4. If Shawn wants to stay skinny & anarexic, let him stay that way hahahahahahahahahaha.
5. Muggsy Bouges holds the record for the shortest dude in the NBA. The next shortest dude would be Earl Boykins at 5'5 for Golden State Warriors this season.
6. I don't know why people say Phil is such a great coach. He has coached the greatest players of all time in Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, Shaq. I would like to see him take on a challenge like Cleveland, Denver, Memphis, Clippers.
7. Don Nelson is a good coach but his playoff teams haven't been successful. Look at his coaching record in the playoffs.
8. Who cares what happened to that bum LOL.
9. Vince is still with Toronto. What kind of question is that?
10. A lot of teams have players who shoot bad from the field, it's not just the eastern conference. T-Mac & Jason Kidd aren't the only good players on the east. The east also has Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, Allan Houston, Iverson, Stackhouse, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Shareef Abdur Rahim, Jason Terry, Glenn Robinson, Jalen Rose, Ricky Davis, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Gary Payton, Sam Cassell, Michael Redd, Jermaine O Neal, Baron Davis, Jamal Mashburn.

I take it you MAY follow the East? ^_^

Anyways, Don Nelson is cool, man. He didn't want to make comments last night when we lost game 6 to the Spurs because he didn't want to take anything away from the Spurs. And he didn't blow up or anything. And it's hillarious watching him get mad and get thrown out of games-- 'scuse me-- every other game ^_^ .

Well, I figured Vince Carter still played, but I never really hear anything about him. Is it because Toronto sucks?

11. Who would win out of Steve Kerr and Peja Stojakovic in a 3-point shoot-out now?

12. Who would win out of Steve Kerr and Peja Stojakovic in a 3-point shoot-out when Kerr was "in his prime", as they say. i.e. Bulls days, and maybe before?

13. How long do you think that $90 Million Dollar guy (Is it LeBron James?) will stay with Cleaveland? We know he'll be there next season, but how many MORE?

14. How mad are you about the Spurs doing that buy-all-the-tickets thing? That ticked me off, and it shows how scared they were. I GUESS it's good strategizing, but unethical, IMO.

15. Has anyone else played a video game called "NBA Street Volume 2"? That game has some OLD stars, like '70's and much earlier.

16. Did Mark Cuban (Owner of the Mavericks) ever play for the NBA? If so, how many seasons, what team(s), how good was he?

17. Anyone else think the Malone/Stockton saga has ended? I mean, this is the only season in a few years Malone wasn't in the All-Stars.

18. Was Popeye Jones EVER a good player?

19. Is the commissioner of Basketball's name "DANIEL Stern" or "DAVID Stern"? Do you think he's a baller? ^_^

20. Is there a professional basketball league in Japan?

U need to cut it out with these questions. I'll answer these & that's it.
11. I'm gonna go with Steve Kerr, his threes are usually accurate.
12. I'll go with Steve Kerr again.
13. Who knows how long Lebron will be with Cleveland. We'll see how he does his first 2 yrs before i start speculating. Cleveland hasn't drafted him yet. Lebron got a $100 million contract from Nike, not $90 million.
14. I could care less about that ticket strategy with the Spurs.
15. No i haven't played it.
16. No Mark Cuban never played in the NBA.
17. Yes i think the Malone & Stockton saga has come to a end. Stockton is talkin about retirement & he just might do it. Karl Malone has been looking at houses in other cities with his wife. The Lakers are interested in him & so are some other teams.
18. Popeye has never been a good player LOL. All he can do is rebound. His ears are outta this world & his head hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
19. David Stern is his name & i don't think he can ball. Even in his younger days, he was probably a scrub if he played LOL.
20. I don't know if there's a professional league in Japan. There probably is.
