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 ing 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"
That is how smart is some NBA fans with crap they make up.
LOL sons this fool still hasn't learned .... NO REAL NBA PLAYER WANTS TO PLAY IN HIGH SCHOOL GYMS !!!!!!!
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.
so what
you still have passport regulations
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding !
We have a winner here!
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 ABOUT EURO BALL!
[QUOTE=Kill_Bill_Pana;2945513]1. Link is NOT broken IDIOT
http://www.talkbasket.net/blogs/top-...09-season.html[/qipte]IS LIES!
You edited your post after I pointed it out. How stupid are you to think you can get away with that AND acting like a re ed Greek dude using Comcast?
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!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 ing shut the up about your ing crap about only a link from American website can be trusted because it says budget is even BIGGER. And everyone knows US media is ing JOKE anyways.
Hoopshype is run by Spaniards. You know, the respectable Euros.And I guess from now on hoopshype will be called "NBA inferiority salary blog"![]()
Hey, there's a source for one team.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/sp...l/12owner.html
"No one in N.B.A. circles is laughing because Olympiacos, with a $70 million operating budget, could be in the free-agent market."
Where are the others?
It's not my fault the Spaniards are so much better informed.
Oh yes US media is so trustworthy "Iraq has WMD, Saddam was part of 9/11"
![]()
"The NBA expansion into Europe has been finalized."
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.
You just prove you are worthless POS. NEVER will I respond to you again.
Lots of people have that reaction when they can't refute something I post.
Ummm..OK. Can you please post some more bouncing s. I like those.![]()
i don't post too often, but i hang around quite a bit...
and i've got to say that Kill Bill vs. ChumpDumper is one of the most lopsided matchups we're likely to see this year.
Yawn yawn!
I know someone already said this here but no one cares about Europe bball, except for you of course.
My weekly allowance is higher than 57% of euro league teams budget.
If it was the case you would spend your time in a such better way than posting here
Who cares...NBA basketball >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Euro basketball
So what ?
For some reason,, I knew Chump was gonna be teh first to respond.
that's what i was thinking...
it's like a watching a mean little kid pulling the wings off of a greek fly.![]()
