You want pure entertaining basketball??? Watch AND1 tour!!!

Maybe I overstated my case by suggesting that the And1 troupe were all tattooed thugs.

So we can now assume 90% of the tatooed NBA players are thugs as well right? Can't recall the last time I heard of an And1 player being arrested on gun charges, but I can name quite a few NBA players.

My real concern is the "streetball" marketing, [/QUOTE]What is so concerning?

[NBA Junkie]

Well I just watched a And 1 episode and A.O. said it best. No NBA for me, streetball is my job. Where else can you play ball like a fool and get payed for it?

Golden State?

Im black and some of those fools are thugs......they way they talk and act proves it. Sorry, but dude was correct to a point.

What the do you call a thug? Snatching old lady's purses=speaking broken English and carrying the ball

Wow, you ...completely missed my point. Can't reason with some people, I suppose.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Reason? You've yet to state a reason. I asked you what your "concerns" were with streetball marketing, you failed to reply.

and1 is everything that is wrong with American basketball. I won't be giving my $$ to watch those tattooed thugs.

It never ceases to amaze me how people automatically assume that conservative types are racist, sexist, phobe, anti-environment (for dirty water, dirty air, etc.), etc.? I assure you, as a student at a leading evangelical ins ution, that these traits do not characterize any of us, faculty or students. Nor does it characterize any of us "paleo-cons" (I guess, the counterpart to a neo-con, whatever those are). But it does, sometimes, annoy us that people think we're these bad and evil people.

I'm glad to see you can identify the trouble with ignorant generalizations in some instances....BIBLE FREAK

Damn right.If kids are watching that on T.V. I can see more and more International players coming to the NBA in the future.
