Does anyone take the nbl seriously?

[white_chocolate_55]

LOL @ that other spud, and carfino *WAS* an all-star wasnt he?

yes he was.. but who really remembers him , or cares? how many championships did he win? mvps? how many allstar appearances did he make? Was he a late inclusion?

Who cares.. he knows jack all about todays game and the flow.. he's not so quite the robert walls of bball, but he sure as hell pretends he knows all.. caroline wilson of the nbl.. thats what i was thinking of

 

[mattyj]

LOL thats a fair call, Caroline Wilson of the NBL....and Casey is like ANthony Hudson, never played the game and doesnt really understand it all that well

 

[mattyj]

or Bruce McAvaney!!!!!...but hes not "speeeecial"

 

[mickimouse24]

dont forget Kevin Brooks (36ers/Kings) he was fantastic in the NBL.........do you guys also remember AC Earl? played for the Kings in 99 i think?......man he kicked arse....it was too easy for him over here

 

[mattyj]

Acie, not AC and yeh he was awesome with the Kings...sucked with the Celts in the NBA tho LOL

 

[mickimouse24]

lol sorry sorry....Acie......haha...but but....he did have a 40 point game in the NBA once when he was a Raptor lol

 

[mattyj]

Did hE?! i didnt know that...thats actually a pretty good effort....

 

[mickimouse24]

ya he had a 40 point, 12 rebound performance against his former Boston Celtics ...im trying to think what year it was...im pretty sure it was like in 1995/96 season (raptors first season) or the 96/97 season im not too sure.

Kevin Brooks played for Denver right? this is now much he made over there getting jack sh*t minutes:

1992 $625,000
1993 $800,000
1994 $975,000
1995 $600,000

god i wish i were a NBA player that doesnt play so i can sit back and watch games and get paid to do nothing lol (remember Shane Heal when he was with the t'wolves...he said he took advantage of the popcorn and lollies and stuff throughout the game cause he knew he wasnt going to get in the game haha)

 

[mattyj]

did the same when he was at the spurs too

 

[white_chocolate_55]

hahahahaha this is a funny thread...

A Player i will always remember in the NBL is James "Showtime" Smith..
Man that guy was the craziest dunker, i saw a reverse alley oop he pulled off at the convention center in brissy and his head was above the rim but his biggest jam was against the Tigers in Sydney, It was one of the best dunks i have ever seen. It was like he was coming off a trampoline!! He came off a screen with the ball jumped from about 1 foot inside the FT line and jumped over like 2 tigers players. INSANE!!
And i remember earl too, he did a great fastbreak dunk from memory too.

Actually Carfino was a pretty good player and cut down by injury pretty early on. He Morrisey, Keogh, Davies, Daltons and co were a good team.

 

[MuGg$Y!]

yeh taht was a mad dunk i was here for taht game n yeh nbl def needs to marke iself betr def ge free o air games n alhough i dun mind alot of fundamentals they should experiment with taking away a full on zone n have similer def rules as teh nba, i hate zones personally n loved it when nba had no zones wat so ever n with it would be outlawed everywhere, esp when i playlocally coz then i would tear it up lol

Acie Earl actually scored 40+ in 2 games in the NBA! All within the one week too!

The kings have gone through so many imports I cant remember their names. Stephen Jackson played a handful of games, got injured so he got cut...next thing he's hitting massive threes for the spurs!

They got Matt Nova (I think they watched Blue Chips and thought he'd be good) and another big guy who I think Ive got NBA cards of, playing for Sacramento?
