[Failure]

Im trying to sleep! Stop Calling me!!

[mystargtr34]

What good is a $45 million budget if they cant afford to pay their players.

http://www.talkbasket.net/blogs/top-european-basketball-club-budgets-2008-09-season.html

2. Your own AMERICAN paper say budget is even HIGHER at $70 million which is higher than budget of 17 NBA teams according to hoopshype and you can fucking shut the fuck up about your fucking crap about only a link from American website can be trusted because it says budget is even BIGGER. And everyone knows US media is fucking JOKE anyways.

And I guess from now on hoopshype will be called "NBA inferiority salary blog":rolleyes

"No one in N.B.A. circles is laughing because Olympiacos, with a $70 million operating budget, could be in the free-agent market."

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

What good is a $45 million budget if they cant afford to pay their players.

Same report claim Delfino will no longer play with team and since he has play 4 games with team already? Same team after he was bench by his coach and his agent make this all up? Same coach was just fire yesterday by club because of Delfino and his agent?

Same club that now Delfino say everything is fine?

You need stop listening to fucking idiots that do nothing but live to bash game in Europe and do anything to make up crap about it.

"Knicks is bankrupt because Marbury not get pay because he was bench from team and while bench for argument with coach and no pay for him = Knicks is bankrupt and no guarantee contracts in NBA and whole NBA league is poor" :blah:rollin

That is how smart is some NBA fans with crap they make up.

[BRHornet45]

LOL sons this fool still hasn't learned .... NO REAL NBA PLAYER WANTS TO PLAY IN HIGH SCHOOL GYMS !!!!!!!

[Stump]

Look dude, with most of us it's not that we think Euro basketball is so lame or inferior. It's not that at all.

We just don't care.

Why are you always angry, and so disrespectful to anyone in here? You can barely debate the easiest of arguments.

Kill Bill..please STFU about Euro-Ball.

It's not that we think Euro ball sucks compared to the NBA (well, we do..but that's besides the point)... it's just that the vast majority of the people on this board DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT EURO BALL!

And everyone knows US media is fucking JOKE anyways.it is so much better than the lying Greek media and fans. There is no comparison whatsoever. Example: You repeated the claim that the NBA expansion into Europe had been finalized. I called you and the entire country of Greece out on it, and you all were exposed as IS LIES!


And I guess from now on hoopshype will be called "NBA inferiority salary blog":rolleyesHoopshype is run by Spaniards. You know, the respectable Euros.

"No one in N.B.A. circles is laughing because Olympiacos, with a $70 million operating budget, could be in the free-agent market."Hey, there's a source for one team.

Where are the others?

It's not my fault the Spaniards are so much better informed.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Oh yes US media is so trustworthy "Iraq has WMD, Saddam was part of 9/11"

:rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes:roll eyes:rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes

[ChumpDumper]

"The NBA expansion into Europe has been finalized."

:rolleyes

Iraq DID have WMD. No one knew it was all destroyed. That's Saddam's fault.

And the only thing I remember about Saddam's being a part of 9/11 is that the media said he wasn't, contradicting the implications of people in government.
