Did the Belt become a curse?

Wasn't the movie actually called KAZAAM?

Shazam was DC Cominc book character whose strength rivaled Superman's.

Correct!

I hate the belts. It really made the pistons look full of themselves, which they are...

[Oh, Gee!!]

How stupid? Don't the Pistons know that you don't need a belt to not repeat as Champions? The Spurs have done it twice without no stinkin' belt. Damn hip-hoppers.

The stupid belts are nothing but adolescent, ghetto/balla, tasteless posing.
Sorry for mentioning "taste" and "balla" in the same sentence.

Legitmate sports awards come from organizations recognized as competent judges for the sport, eg, the NBA championship ring.

Awarding a trophy to yourself, esp modelled on boxing/"wrestling" belts, is meaningless, valueles, and stupid bling beyond belief. But that's balla hip-hop ethics for ya.

But that's balla hip-hop ethics for ya.

Like you have demonstrated much in the way of ethics or taste?

[boutons_]

I'm not a pimp or a ,
not a gangsta,
not an ass-cap popper,
not a dealer/user,
not a -slapper/waster,
not a self-abuser/perforator,
not a convict.

So I haven't demonstrated any hip-hop ethics.

Roscoe (Sheed's name for his belt) was good for Sheed, he took it to the parade and he says it still hanging on his wall.

The players all got rings but to be the first team with championship belts is priceless. I think at least one person here is jealous that Timmy didnt make team belts for the Spurs.

Maybe the Spurs should have made team horse shoes.. Just like the Three Stooges, they could misplace them in the locker room on a shelf above the door. Tonight before the Pistons game they will be ready to leave the locker room when Duncan will bump the shelf, causing the horse shoes to fall one by one on his head, each with an associating ring tone. Bing, bong, ching, !
That's how I see it.

It's kind of funny that you are bad-mouthing the belts, because I'm sure if someone on the Spursl, like Duncan, would have come up with the idea and got all of his teamates belts, you all would thiink that they were sweet.

[Oh, Gee!!]

That's stupid. TD never wears a belt.

[Trapt1307]

That's not the point.

Championship t-shirts and caps are self appreciative too.
