Dirk quits for 4 games to get into shape.

[Giuseppe]

It's tough to remain in compe ion shape. Most fighters, runners, bodybuilders, etc... don't do it year around. They train for the season to get back into shape, but these guys' careers would be much shorter if they trained like that all year long.

They had very short notice that they were even going to have a season, so you can understand (if you aren't jaded) how someone like Dirk could be out of game shape.

Then don't participate in barnstorming exhibitions when you're under contract.

Dirk quit.

[Bill_Brasky]

Truth. He went black last year sticking his German sausage into Kobe's pussy and he ain't never went back.

Serious Question: Will the mavs make playoffs, with TOSBagness setting into Dirk so rapidly. Even I didn't think it would progress so quickly that he'd need a whole 4 days of rest. Unless of course, jim is saving The Big Nazi for the playoffs, thens its ok.

Someone is just making their last thread for a while...

[Giuseppe]

...Dirk quit.

Dirk quit.

You're not under contract during a lockout, which is why other players were able to play overseas.

You got me there.

"After the Euros [the Olympic qualifying tournament last summer] I was just sick of basketball, but I probably took too long of a time off, so it's going to take me a while to get back into it."

Dirk quit.

[Giuseppe]

Rest assured they'll be no studious discussions convened about this Dirk event, debating whether he's to blame like there would be if it were Bryant. Oh, yeah, if it were Bryant we'd have to have endless discussions about it. And no matter how many people were involved in the discussion it would always be evenly split:::

Talking Head #1: He should keep playing. People pay for those seats,,,,,,,though I like Kobe."

Talking Head #2: You're wrong, Fellow #1. He deserves the benefit of the doubt,,,,,,,,though I've never liked Bryant........and you may have a point.

Talking Head #3: "My turn, we're evenly split, but, I've got my orders so I'll say that Kobe is wrong, but, may be right."

Hot ass & Internet guru: "Hi guys. I need to interrupt here::: [giggle, giggle,,,,,giggle.] Just got an e-mail from a nephew of a Princess in Bexar County. He says, [giggle, giggle, gum snap & pop] that they hate Kobe on ST with everything they've got." [giggle, giggle, giggle.]

No.

Normal training camp is plenty of time for Dirk to get into shape.

That didn't happen.

Making adjustments and quitting are different things. People can take a time out without quitting.

tee, hee. Just certain people, huh?

You betcha:::I was sitting there in my Lazy-Boy, basking in the afterglow of your second in-a-row, dozing off when I caught the news. I reached for the side lever to get myself upright and then actually ran for my CPU.

[Giuseppe]

Who else would you like to submit for this?

Calm down. I was just checkin' assholes. And there is a bunch on this issue.

tee, hee.

[DPG21920]

Well, you won't be able to do so much longer because of your actions.

[Giuseppe]

I'll wear those pink panties with defiance & a miniscule pup tent.

So then it stands that taking a time out (admitting you aren't in game shape) isn't the same as quitting.

It also stands that I have not imposed any double standards.

Don't check assholes unless you know what to do with what you find.

[midnightpulp]

I'll where those pink panties with defiance & a miniscule pup tent.

Media loves Bryant.

The Plea

[Giuseppe]

I still got it.

Yeah, they were actually stupid enough last night to report that he was taking off for four games to get into game shape. I couldn't in' believe it. That's what caught my ear and drove me to move fast.

And I in' guarantee you won't hear that again. They'll massage and frame the narrative so there is no responsibility implied, or, assumed.

[midnightpulp]

The media would likely exalt him for a wise decision to improve himself for the benefit of the team. Media loves that boy, always talking about his injuries as if they'd cripple an ordinary man. They nonstop compare him to Michael Jordan and are salivating at the notion of 6-6 so they can have a new king to crown, something they've been desperate for since Jordan left the Jazz where he found them.

Your perception of Kobe being universally hated on is skewed by the massive amount of time you spend on message boards, where most thinking fans, unen bered by agenda, understand just how overrated Bryant is.

On here, yes, we would make fun of him and give you the .

Truth.

[Giuseppe]

After you've cried to Kori about what she is doing is wrong withstanding

I never cried.

I indicted.

[DPG21920]

You cried. I don't defend my accusations.
