lol otm

turning thabeet into a competent player would be the greatest trick presti ever pulled

As if more evidence was needed to prove the Suns training staff is awesome, Jermaine O'Neal is averaging 18 minutes a night with a 20.68 PER

feel like suns should pick up oden, bynum, roy

sad-face team add: eric gordon

why havent other teams a. hired members of the suns training staff b. adopted their techniques

suns secret technique is just dropping them in the middle of a desert w/o water and forcing them to find their way back to training camp

moullet and dayo otm

excited for the day when we find out that the suns training staff consists of some weird foreign doctor making up crazy drugs.

they tried!

it's true tho... "the suns training staff" is this mystical thing & yet no one knows anything about them? neither sports illustrated nor espn has ever done a feature? idgi

the system they use is called sport kinesiology iirc, its abt testing all the diff muscle groups and figuring out where youre strong and where youre weak and then woking to make the weak parts strong

oh hmm

i remember shaq talking abt how they found out his ass was like 60% fat and made him do all sorts exercises to correct that which is p lol

hahaha

this is the guy i think: http://www.nba.com/coachfile/aaron_nelson/index.html?nav=page

i would trade a lot of players for aaron nelson

but just like hire one of his assistants idgi nba

it's weird that a franchise can do everything so poorly but do one thing better than anytime in the league and it's not even close

jeff green for aaron nelson ?

the contract that ainge gave to green was a suns-esque deal

deal xp

boozer + 1st round pick for aaron nelson?

whatever team maxes out bynum should give aaron nelson $5m a year

it'll prob just be the suns so i guess it will take care of itself

just imagined a espn.com headline _____ LANDS BYNUM & NELSON
w experts analysis "well, they complement each other fairly well"

hah

aw

haha jordan awesome http://www.spin.com/gallery/nba-basketball-teams-lyrical-mentions-rap-songs-lebron-james

im only like 5 teams in so far but it has to be lakers right

actually no

oh n/m i misunderstood the rules

i thought it was total number of mentions not number of players

yeah... that was the original idea but we decided it would leave us open to pedantry

kobe prob has more mentions than the rest of the nba combined

that's p sweet

how did you do it? like just <nba player> site:ohhla.com for ALL THE PLAYERS?

some i took off the top of my head, but a lot of googling, yeah

i predict thabeet will continue to excel at uncontested dunks w/his team up 40

This would have been a bold prediction at one point!

For real though, that putback dunk was bananas, didn't know he had that in him

Cuban does good stuff sometimes

haha yeah, i think they bring products like this onto "shark tank" specifically so cubes will lose his shit

yeah cubes otm

that totally wasnt the recycling tho

also wouldve been better w/a shot of troy murphy fishing a couple out of the trash

this is alternately interesting and insufferable

I watched that shark tank episode when he called that guy out and made a big deal of it. Then a couple weeks later I ended up playing open gym basketball with the guy who got blasted.

Cuban goes in at 4:20 or so.

I like my bitch authentic, no fake titties or ass
When she do I Ricky Rubio that ho, I pass

<3 cubes

If cubes went after Amway too I'd basically absolve him of all sins past and future
