What was Vujacic doing at the ESPY's?

[Culburn369]

Sam Bowie indeed.

Jealousy? Hardly. More like disdain or contempt.

Hey maybe the Suns don't have a championship, but at least they make the playoffs enough so throwing a parade every time they do so isn't necessary.

TLong sucks

[Culburn369]

Hey maybe the Suns don't have a championship, but at least they make the playoffs enough so throwing a parade every time they do so isn't necessary.

Then why the did you go thru with your victory parade after the Bulls left you dead in the ground in '93?

[Culburn369]

Jealousy? Hardly. More like disdain or contempt.

Of course. That's the only way you can get motivated (disdain or contempt) for the Lakers. Anybody else come to Portland...you bend right on over.

Yer stuck on 1 for 32 f'in years, ya poor thing, you.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Are you serious??? No way!!!

Culburn was a Suns fan back then so he would know.

[Culburn369]

Are you serious??? No way!!!

Yes, they did. It was humiliating. Barkley's car broke down in the parade and he had to change cars and they mobbed him like he'd won the gd thing.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

That has to be the epitome of lowness-ness.

So is someone that gets pleasure by trolling Suns sites and getting banned from them, and actually researches/stocks his internet enemies by finding their addresses and employers.

[Culburn369]

That has to be the epitome of lowness-ness.

I couldn't believe they were going to do it, but, nobody said a discouraging word. The paper Arizona Republic owns a piece of the Suns, and the Suns own a piece of the paper. They also own KTAR the flagship radio station of the Suns so everything is peaches & cream here. Nice and cozy.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Cubby is gonna ignore the comment I posted above because that creepy weirdo knows it's all true.

[IronMexican]

Lol, I actually saw that parade thing on youtube once. Someone posted it on CL.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Do tell...

I won't reveal my source, but it's reliable. Cubby has a history of researching people on Suns forums and finding personal information about them.

[BlackSwordsMan]

didn't even know espy was on today not like it matters who watches this

[ginobili's bald spot]

The Pistons are a trainwreck. But this thread isn't about the Pistons. It's about that ass clown Vujacic and the overrated Lakers.

The Lakers are the champions . You wish that was your team. Overrated is a team that had a parade for making the first round ... and then got knocked out in the first round. Overrated is when a team's dumbass hillbilly fans think they are gonna win the championship when they aren't even contenders. Overrated is being a #1 draft pick who can't even stay on the court. Greg Oden is overrated. Sam Bowie was overrated. Now go kill yourself.

[NBAfan83]

I think more of jealousy, people just want to see gracious winners.

The problem is people in ST want the NBA players to act like them or be down to earth.

PROBLEM is, they usually are not, money spoils, and many NBA players not just Kobe, feel a sense of en lement to act however they want.

This is not kobe's problem though, he is a product of his own success, and should not be judged on how he acts, but rather how he performs.

[cobbler]

Jealousy? Hardly. More like disdain or contempt.

I hope you invest in a nice sun lamp. I hear they are popular up there due to constant drizzling rain that creates all the depression in your city. It's going to be a rough next few years for you. This year was NOT the last 1st round parade of yours that will be rained on.

[TheMACHINE]

Dude sucks. And lol at Kobe acting like it was his award even though it was for best team. The Lakers suck.

[Culburn369]

I won't reveal my source, but it's reliable. Cubby has a history of researching people on Suns forums and finding personal information about them.

Please.

vujacic is such a

[ElNono]

LOL, how could you have two "BEST MALE ATHLETE" in the same sport?

I guess they didn't want to snub Lecrab...
