potential scammer alert: 50centfan

[qc_mohawks]

do NOT trade with this guy, he is 2 weeks late in sending my items and despite several request for a delivery confirmation # i never get one....all i get is "it was sent out already, should get it in another day or so".

he lurks the boards late at night looking for trades, we had agreed to 2 trades & after some arguing he agreed to send first (he had a 0 feedback # at the time). he has still tried to ask me to send the items for several days after the initial trade took place but i decided to wait until his end showed up....glad i did.

again, dont trade with this guy or at the very least make him send FIRST!!!!

i believe him to be a bad trader.

[freakazoid_x]

yeah a lot of people have had problems with him, I'm surprised he's still around.

[supermans dad]

not cool

[brindelin]

Note to self: Never trade with 15 year olds!

[LgndKller20073]

Note to self: Never trade with 15 year olds!

I resent that. There are plenty of responsible 15 year olds out there. In fact, several people I know have made good trades on these boards are only 15 and 16 year olds.

[Halls Fate]

yeah, like me, i try to be fair, and i always am prompt, just ask my feedback pals, they will tell you.

[GhostRider_420]

ya me to although nobody wants to trade with me, except for about 2 people

[Halls Fate]

i think the fact that your sig is dedicated to someone many would consider a dirtbag might hurt your trust issues


thats pretty funny lol

[GhostRider_420]

you dont know who Dimebag Darrell is do you, because i dont know anyone that would consider him a dirtbag.

[Halls Fate]

you dont know who Dimebag Darrell is do you, because i dont know anyone that would consider him a dirtbag.


if you dont mind my asking, who was he?

[GOW86107]

Hey I'm 15 and I've got plenty of trades done here, and I have no problem with how old anybody is. What is this about calling Dimebag darrell a dirtbag? Not to get into it but dont call someone who is a great musician and probably a great guy a dirt bag because you dont like that kind of music or whatever your reason is.

[Gacy's Clown]

Where's this 50CentFan from?

[krusticlese]

Bet you 75 cents, it's Kentucky.

[Banyon]

That last comment was just wrong...but i giggled..but wrong

[Gacy's Clown]

I was thinking of someone using that name a looooong time ago that was from NC. Perhaps, I'm wrong.:)

[qc_mohawks]

50centfan is from texas

[Gacy's Clown]

*Not even in the ballpark...*:cheeky:

[GOW86107]

geez man take it easy

[Halls Fate]

i have no idea whats going on, but thanks for the warning qc i appreciate it

[GhostRider_420]

in my opinion who would trade with a guy who's name is 50centfan anyway

[Zarathos]

50centfan is from texas


Abilene?? with a post office box?? (think there's a couple 0's and a 1 and a 9 in there somewhere... been tooo long and don't remember his PO Box exactly)

[brindelin]

Just so you know I was only joking so if you're 15 I will still trade with you!

[qc_mohawks]

in my opinion who would trade with a guy who's name is 50centfan anyway


lol
touche

[Halls Fate]

Just so you know I was only joking so if you're 15 I will still trade with you!


cool :cool:

[thedon99]

Bet you 75 cents, it's Kentucky.

Woh, mother ####er, I'm from Louisville Kentucky, big difference than rural Kentucky. Louisville is the 16th biggest city in the country, not as redneck as you would assume. The stereotypes are horse####, and where are you from? #### you and anyone else who wants to talk #### about Kentucky.

Oh, and 50 Cent does suck.

[GOW86107]

Man why are you freaking out? He probably just thought the guy was from kentucky.

[Redtank]

No..I would have to say Kentucky does suck.....KIDDING DUDE.

[Ziggy]

Haha, looks like I might be out of luck if I ever wish to trade on HCRealms. Not only I am fifteen years old (well, just a few days short), I am also from Kentucky. Oh no . . .

[thedon99]

Man why are you freaking out? He probably just thought the guy was from kentucky.
That's not the case at all. It's ####ing annoying having to hear people constantly talk #### about people from Kentucky. Yes, some parts of Kentucky are pretty bad, but Louisville is completely different, it's like any other big U.S. city. And, not everyone from here is what people see as the stereotype. The guy that said that is from Pennsylvania. Not even Philly or Philadelphia, but some some town. Now, I've been to Pennsylvania, and some the rural #### is just like rural Kentucky. His town is better than Louisville orbigger, not at all. Louisville is bigger than Pittsburgh. So, people need to know what the #### they're talking about, it's that simple.

[GhostRider_420]

hey who even said anything about Louisville anyway?you just need to calm the #### down!

[qc_mohawks]

again, with the release of FF days away DO NOT trade with 50centfan.....

at the very least MAKE HIM SEND FIRST!!!!!!

he never sent my stuff (3 weeks ago) after several promisses.......and i believe he traded with a few other and ripped them off (he was supposed to send first in our deals but never did - but that didnt stop him from trying to talk me into a simul-send)


again, dont trade with this guy......big time scammer

since he has been busted he will probably make a new account
make "0" number send first

he was from texas (will post city later)

[thedon99]

hey who even said anything about Louisville anyway?you just need to calm the #### down!
Louisville is in Kentucky, I am defending Kentucky. Period.

[qc_mohawks]

just a reminder

DO NOT trade with this guy.....scammer all the way

we are going on 3+ weeks now with no packages to speak of.....dont get fooled into trading with him, he will try to rip you off!

[Thorgrin]

I seem to remember something about this guy a long time ago... Someone get me a name and address, I'll take a road trip up to old Abilene to visit dad and some "unfinished" business. Nothing physical, just some cops and lots of questions...

[stark's heir]

Thorgrin- I like your style...

[50centfan]

hey wtf dude if you look at my trader rating i have great trades so get a life and stop messing with young people you fell big don't you....


JUST A REMINDER I'M NOT A SCAMMER JUST ASK MY TRADES

[50centfan]

wow the mods really need to delete this garbage it's getting old if you have a problem with me pm me don't rant because I didn't accept your trade

[DOOMSTRIKER]

you know what?

#### Kentucky, and on that note, #### Pennsylvania, i live in AZ, and #### it here to, oh and #### pretty much everywhere else to, just face it, everywhere sucks in it's own way, and every place has sucky people, there is no One Superior Place. dont feel the need to defend the place where you were born, because #### people and what they think, dont let them get to you, theres no reason to be so serious about something so trivial

[thedon99]

It's only so annoying because of all the Kentucky jokes. I sincerely doubt people have a lot of Arizona jokes. Around the country, people want to talk #### about Kentucky. ####, Jay Leno makes fun of Kentucky. But, I see your point, I probaly didn't need to get that heated, I just get sick of the ####ing stereotypes.

[DOOMSTRIKER]

people dont need to make fun of Arizona, it's so steriotyped. whats the first thing to come to your mind when you think of this freakin place?

[thedon99]

Honestly, desert, hot ### weather, and the Phoenix Suns. Oh, and I ####ing hate the Arizona Wildcats because they beat Kentucky for the championship in 1997, and ####ed up our three-peat.

[50centfan]

wow this turned into you hate my city blah blah blah

If you have a problem with me pm me and i'll give you my addy and we can "talk" and "play some poker"

""""""""""""AND""""""""""""""



I"M NOT A SCAMMER QC MOHAWKS JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT PRETTY SAD LET'S WHINE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET THE TRADE

[thedon99]

Actually Doomstriker and I are having a semi-intelligent conversation, it was someone else a few pages back that was talking about other peoples' homestates.
50, I don't have a problem with you, I haven't dealt with you trade wise. I'm neutral on that point. I have however, enjoyed your Star Wars VS. threads.

[DOOMSTRIKER]

Honestly, desert, hot ### weather, and the Phoenix Suns. Oh, and I ####ing hate the Arizona Wildcats because they beat Kentucky for the championship in 1997, and ####ed up our three-peat.

LOL :laugh:

honestly, the real problem is that pretty much all of the steriotypes are true, its hella hot here, its boring, all the people suck (probably from the heat boiling there brains) and any time you make friends, it doesnt last, because everyone is a poser who only realy care about themselves and couldnt give a rats ### about you or how you think and feel

you here me AZ #### YOU!!! you buncha ego maniac preppy morons!



















(sorry that kinda turned into a rant there at the end, but you would feel the same if you lived here, trust me)

[Thorgrin]

All I have to ask is IF you're the same guy in Abilene then you ARE a scammer!! Sorry, but you never sent my part of the trade a year or so ago as well. If not, no biggie, but sounds like you are. I just never deemed it worth my time to head up to Abilene to press charges.. However if there was enough of an outcry, I'd be more than happy...

As far as your trade references go? What, you mean the trader feedback of 1?

wow this turned into you hate my city blah blah blah

He's only like 15. It also says he's only been on the Realms since Febuary. Of course he could be using a different name now. Not trying to meddle, just pointing out a couple of things. What was the name of that guy that ####ed you last year?

Do you live near Phoenix? That's like the fifth biggest city in the country, surely there is #### to do there. I've always heard good things about Phoenix.

[DOOMSTRIKER]

i live in Phoenix, and i know very well its a big city, and there is plenty to do, if you have lots of money and like shopping. and dealing with one of the worst police departments EVER, yeah, this place suks it hard, no way around it

oh and i forgot to mention all the lowrider wanna be gangsta's we got here, who make it unsafe to even walk down the street without a large weapon, and even then there just gonna drive by in there ##### cars and throw #### out the window at you, seriously one time i had a coffe cup thrown at me, and it hit me right in the head


yeah, this place suks :tired:

[SITHSPAWN]

Then move?!

Well, #### getting pelted with coffee cups does suck. Louisville's police department made the top ten for worst in the country. They constantly abuse anyone of color. There is a big deal going on here, and there has been for years, that they target minorities, and it is true to a certain extent. At least our police chief is black now. Hell, I'm not even black, and hate our police. But, I tend to think it more depends on your age. Before turning 22 two years ago, I had been arrested 3 times, for minor ####, basically smoking bud, but still, bastards! The nerve, our number one cash crop is not tobacco like most would assume, it's weed. Since I got older, haven't been ####ed with once, and I still do the same #### I always did.

[herotolegend]

i traded with 50centfan and i DID recieve my figs. but he did take quite a while to send out. but everything is fine.

[thedon99]

Don't get me wrong, I love Louisville, always have, it's just fun to complain, right Doomstriker? Well, you seem to actually hate AZ, I love KY.

yeah i guess cops suck everywhere you go, but we have Joe Arpio here :rolleyes:


filthy ####, that guy is captain mega ultra ego, years ago now i had a comic book that i was making with some other people, and he was the main villain

[thedon99]

Then move?!
Who are you talking about?

#### him. #### 'em all. That's what I say. Hey, I'm outta here for the night, take it easy man, and don't let Phoenix piss you off too bad.

[DOOMSTRIKER]

oh yeah, i hate it here, and im not in the position to get out at the moment (once you fall below the poverty line here it take a looooong time to claw your way out) and really i dont know if theres anywhere i could move to that i wouldnt hate, but im taking a vacation to Oregon in a couple months, so i'll see how i like it there

[thedon99]

It's so god damn rainy in Oregon, but I've heard Portland is nice.

[DOOMSTRIKER]

It's so god damn rainy in Oregon, but I've heard Portland is nice.

yeah thats where im heading. ok take it easy man

[qc_mohawks]

1 look at both of our feedback will show who is the liar.

you failed to respond to a dozen PMs i sent you about our trades AFTER you said my items were sent out......you were supposed to send first, agreed to it, took my address, then claimed about 4 seperate times my items were on the way while BEGGING me to send my end before i got your items you swore had been mailed.........its been 3+ weeks and they still havent shown up.......you were just hoping to trick me into send simul-send (like fuzzyelf39) so you could steal my items like you stole his.......bad news, after the feedback he left you & the thread I started about you in the traders forum you will always be asked to send first now........hope it was worth it.


again i am not saying to not trade with you.......but i am sure as hell making it a point to make you send first!!!

yeah you had 2 good trades and 1 bad one where you ripped a guy out of close to $100 worth of SWMs.......you have a great trade history :rolleyes:

[SITHSPAWN]

Who are you talking about?

Would it matter? It doesn't seem like anyplace is good enough. :confused:

[krusticlese]

Just so you know, thedon99, my original post wasn't a joke at Kentucky's expense (those are just too easy).

I was referencing an unusually high number of scams that originated in the Louisville area about 2 years ago (2002-3). The person responsible had all sorts of names mostly centered around the "50 Cent" name.

But, way to fly off the handle, it sure was entertaining. :p

[thedon99]

Glad I entertained you! :)

Well, you know what, I took it as a joke about Kentucky and so did others who were laughing about it as if it were a joke about Kentucky. I suppose I should've inquired what you meant, but I didn't. It's been up for nearly a week, what took you so long to respond? Oh, well, I got warned for it so don't worry, and it only took a week.

[thalljoben75]

i lived in kentucky a while back, and i have to say, as a person of colors i have to say kentucky was interesting.

i am not a ghetto-thug gangbanger wanna be.

i used to teach self defense to some of the police officers in richmond va years back.( miss ya vanessa and jim!)

my dress style is very atypical. my style if you will was closer to goth than anything else, and that was just because my whole wardrobe was black and red.

so the first night in berea my girlfriend (not of color ;)) wanted to go to wal-mart for icepops. from the moment i walked in the front door the security guard followed me around. to the toy aisle to see what new star wars figures were out, to the mens clothing to buy new socks and underwear, and then to the checkout line, where he actually stood at the back of the line i was in. when i told my gf about this she said i was being silly. so i suggested that we switch lines to a shorter line any way. so we did and he followed us again any way!

now this was not typical of how i was treated by everyone, but it was a great way to set a pace.

i was never in any trouble with the law, and most everybody tried to be friendly (though, if you have never had the fortune of being 'that black guy that works at sonic (pronounced saw-nik for the locals ;) )then let me suggest that you try that at least once.

for a month, anyone that wanted to say hi to me would approach and just as jolly as they could be say something to that effect.

once we took my gf's kids to the park, where a little boy no more than 4 approaches me and tells me that he knows who i am. so i kind of smile and get ready to hear about sawnik again.

he says' you're the guy from reading rainbow. you don't talk like you but yer you.'

his granma almost had a heart attack! she continued to apologize for more than 5 minutes, explaining that he has never really seen any body of color in person before, and so on..

i thought it was funny, and didn't take offense, as he was just a kid, but there was a certain amount of state of awareness that made me a litle sad from it though, ya know?

how do you not know wha a person of another race is?

while i never got any problems with 'the klan' i did have to handle a few threats with 'aggressive negotiations'. i had to hold off a couple of guys until the cops got to the arcade and stopped it. ironically, they came down really hard on the white guys, and suggested to me to watch where i go.

what a strange thing to say, right?

any way, that is my kentucky story.

there was a game store in richmond where i introduced a bunch of the locals to aliens vs predator, but i moved eventually, so i don't know if any of them are still gamers or not.

maybe they play clix now...?
if ya played avp in richmond, ky and your on here now drop me a line some time!

[thedon99]

What part of Kentucky, it can't be Louisville, because it seems that half of the city is black. Hell, I took African-American history senior year of high school, (I was one of two white people in the class), and I had a blast. My favorite class ever.
I honestly don't have a lot of experience in the backwoods of Kentucky, just Louisville. I will say this, our police treat people of color like ####. But, a lot of major cities do that. So, where were you living?

[thalljoben75]

i lived in berea, outside of richmond.

[thedon99]

No wonder. I see what you're saying now. You're talking about Eastern Kentucky. I can see that 100%. I'm embrassed that people from Kentucky would act that way. I tmakes the whole state look pathetic. :disappoin

[freakazoid_x]

So they... arrested you... for breaking the law? I mean I can imagine it does suck to be arrested. However if you were breaking the law at the time and got caught breaking the law at the time, there's not really a whole lot of complaining you can do. You cannot blame others because you failed to observe our countries anti-narcotics laws.

[Gacy's Clown]

Dude, it happens in every state. It's just a part of life.

[Darth Sabre]

It's so god damn rainy in Oregon, but I've heard Portland is nice.

Well not as much as Washington! Portland is OK. having lived here for 17 years now, I like Eugene the most. Good cultural center, and none of that conservative BS that we have here in Roseburg.

Oh, I know that, but getting arrested for a blunt? When the average murderer serves seven years, alcohol is way worse, rapists get away with more, and half of our murders go unsolved every year. It seems like a waste of time to me. A citation makes more sense. You're not getting away with anything, you still have to go to court etc. That makes a lot more sense.

[thedon99]

It's also hypocritical since marajuana is Kentucky's number one cash crop, not tobacco. It's okay to make money off it apparently. It's only cool to smoke if it's taxable.

[freakazoid_x]

Well, you and I agree at one place. The punishments for more serious crimes, such as #### and murder, are far too leniant. However a Citation is for people who arguably did not know they broke the law. People who drove too fast because, whoops, they didn't notice. Stuff like that. You deliberately carried this stuff around. You thumbed your nose at Johnny Law and you paid the price for it.

[thedon99]

One of my best friends has family in Portland, and says it's a very nice city. Plus, Clyde Drexler played for the Portland TrailBlazers, so it's gotta be a good city.

[freakazoid_x]

Oh for the love of... it isn't a cash crop if it isn't taxed. Just because the people who sell it rake in the money selling it doesn't mean it's a cash crop. That income isn't taxed, it surely isn't going towards the state. So referring to it as a cash crop of a state is false because not one dime of marijuana sales ever makes it into the states pocket. Unless a senator makes some cash on the side dealing.

Look, I'm trying to be cool about it, calm down Dad. I respect your opinion, but you don't need to lecture me, I'll do what I want, how I want, when I want. Actually, a lot of police officers think that arresting someone for a small amount of bud is a waste of time too. Take it, write a citation, and be done with it.

[Darth Sabre]

One of my best friends has family in Portland, and says it's a very nice city. Plus, Clyde Drexler played for the Portland TrailBlazers, so it's gotta be a good city.

Word on the Drexler part! My favorite all-time NBA player! The Glide!

Okay, by not doing anything about it is condoning it. It's common knowledge, yet, noone seems to care. Alcohol is worse, and if they made it legal, then our national debt could be wiped out in one year. You know how much money our country would make if it was legal?

[thedon99]

Word on the Drexler part! My favorite all-time NBA player! The Glide!
Damn right! After Partick Ewing, I'm a huge Knicks fan, Clyde is my man. I still have his rookie in perfect condition, I paid a good amount for it, but it was worth it.

I do agree with you, I do believe they should legalize it then tax the heck out of it. I do not think it would pay off our national debt. I do think it would be a nice chunk of change for schools and roads. Although the money would more than likely go to Iraq if it were. But it won't even be close to legalized until sometime around 2012 anyway. So until it is I would say smoke all you want to at home... but don't be a bonehead and carry it out in public with you!

[thedon99]

Duly noted. I have stopped carrying it around, and I agree, if you get caught, that's the way it goes. Maybe I should elaborate. That whole post about getting arrested really had more to do with how corrupt our P.D. is. The way they treat minorities is ridiculous, and we have a preposterous murder rate. My point is that they should spend more time on important #### like that, not little nickel and dime ####.
I have no record at all, it was expunged, my lawyer is unstoppable, and it's been a couple of years since I got busted. I have learned my lesson, I still smoke, I am just more discreet about it, and try to be careful.

[LeaLu]

Watch the political debates, folks. This isn't the NORML website ;)

[thedon99]

Also, I don't drink at all, so that's my trade-off. I have one vice, and that's it.

[Darth Sabre]

Damn right! After Partick Ewing, I'm a huge Knicks fan, Clyde is my man. I still have his rookie in perfect condition, I paid a good amount for it, but it was worth it.

Mine is the other way around! Clyde then the Hoya Destroya! I used to have Clyde's Fleer R Card. But it was stolen at the same time all my cards an comics were. :( I paid cash for it, in OR (IIRC it was about 20% more than Beckett's Guide High) about 12 years ago. One of the highlights of my sports card collection! :( *sigh*

Funny I'm from NYC so I always root for the Knicks, but adpoted the Blazers when I moved here and got into Basketball as a spectator sport!

Mine is the other way around! Clyde then the Hoya Destroya! I used to have Clyde's Fleer R Card.

Well, holy ####, I may have found a new best friend. :laugh: Remember when everyone jocked the #### out of the Bulls and Michael Jordan? I've always hated him and the Bulls. Rooted for the Bad Boys against them, rooted for the Blazers, Knicks, hell, even the Cavs. The Knicks could never beat them, but they beat them to death physically. :)
The Fleer Drexler rookie card is the one I have. Sorry yours got stolen, that sucks immensely. It's rare to find someone that likes Drexler and Ewing other than myself, they are hardly the most popular players of their era.

[Gacy's Clown]

Damn right! After Partick Ewing, I'm a huge Knicks fan, Clyde is my man. I still have his rookie in perfect condition, I paid a good amount for it, but it was worth it.

PATRICK EWING??? That big monkey (not being racist here....he actually looks like a gorilla) was miserable to watch. I'd rather listen to Bill Walton commentate than watch Ewing play. :cheeky:

[freakazoid_x]

Clyde is what made me love Basketball back in the day. After he retired I lost interest.

[Gacy's Clown]

Now, Clyde on the other hand, was pretty exciting to watch and is worthy of being liked by others.

[thedon99]

PATRICK EWING??? That big monkey (not being racist here....he actually looks like a gorilla) was miserable to watch. I'd rather listen to Bill Walton commentate than watch Ewing play. :cheeky:
Now, it's on! :laugh: Are you serious? He has the best jump shot of any center to ever play the game. He actually had skill, unlike someone like Shaq, who simply bullies people to get his points.

[stark's heir]

Watch the political debates, folks. This isn't the NORML website ;)

I was gonna say something, but never mind...

While I admit, Jordan was the game...I wasn't a big fan (or at least not as big as everyone else was).

:p

Pretty much the same here. Once he was traded to Houston and won his ring..my interest waned some.

Oh, I admit Jordan is the greatest of all time, you'd have to be stupid not to, but I've always detested him, complete bandwagon. Where are all the Bulls fans now? I stick with a team, a lot of people don't.
You need to help me defend Ewing.

He does look like Congo/Planet of the Apes stunt double! :p

But BLASPHEMY on your description of his skills. The guy had a killer jumpshot for a center. It's a shame he retired with no ring. It certainly wasn't for his lack of trying.

I remember the first time I saw him.....driving a two seater on the Garden State Parkway! It was rather odd seeing this huge guy in such a little car.

[thedon99]

I don't see how you can be a die hard Knicks fan and like Jordan or the Bulls. It;s one or the other.

[thedon99]

I was gonna say something, but never mind...
No, say it, your opinion is always welcome.

[Darth Sabre]

the only time I rooted for the Bulls to win a Championship, was against the Lakers, who I hated more. Othert than that, I rooted against them, in vain.

I'll never forget Stark's dunk over Jordan and Pippen in the play-offs!

We've totally hi-jacked this thread! :o

That's right we have. Most of my hatred for them was jealousy, I admit it, but still I hate them all. Yes, Starks dunking on Jordan and Pippen, fantastic stuff. How about when Starks was laying on the ground and tripped Pippen? Excellent!

Man, I go take a Ewing sized dump and this thread blows up!

I will admit, he DID have a great jump shot. As for Shaq, I used to think he was cool, but after watching him dunk and dunk and walk and dunk some more, maybe throw in the occasional three foot hook shot, I grew sick of watching him play. The guy gets paid millions and can't even make a shot outside of five feet from the basket. Says he makes free throws "when they count". How about making them all the time, then your teams would win more games and you wouldn't have to make them at the end because you'd already be up ten points from the ones you made earlier!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gacy's Clown]

I grew up watching Jordan and he's been one of my favorite players of all-time. Not because he won, but the dude just worked so hard on both ends of the court and refused to lose.
Other players I've grown up loving (although I wouldn't sleep with them):
Larry Legend - His shot wasn't pretty, but he was money. I never got tired of watching him play.
The Worm - Off the court sideshow withheld, he was one of the most fun players to watch. Hustle, hustle, hustle and a very smart player. Loved him with the Bad Boys and couldn't believe it when he was gonna be playing along side Jordan. Those were three great years of basketball for me.
J-Will - While he's sorta disappeared now that he doesn't play for the Kings anymore, he's a hometown boy here and he can handle the ball like a freakin' god. Has a pretty good shot too.
AI - So small, so talented, and like Jordan, he refuses to lose. The guy will play with a broken spine if he can, while most players will take a seat on the bench, collect their paychecks, and watch while nursing that ingrown toenail.
KG - So talented and so unselfish that it almost makes me sick to watch him play because he almost seems to refuse to dominate like he could if he didn't try to get his whiney teammates the ball so much instead.

Seeing that I don't live in a city where there's an NBA team...or any Pro sports franchise for that matter, I've always just followed my favorite players, rather than specific teams.

LOL about yor Ewing sized dump. As long as you admit the man had skills. I appreciate a big man that has game outside of ten feet-like Ewing, Olajawon, and David Robinson. Those are the great centers of that era, Shaq is boring and has no skills to speak of. If you or I were 7'1" and weighed 350 lbs, we could do the same #### he does.
Ewing was a great rebounder, shot blocker, had a nice post up game, and the best jump shot ever for a center.

[thedon99]

I love AI, for the same reasons you do. KG, same thing. Larry-of course, he put white players on the map in the 80's, not to mention he's top three player of all time in my eyes.
Jordan-like I said, he's the best ever, but I hate him, he was a jerk to his teammates, remember the Steve Kerr incident? He's not as good of aguy as people want to believe, in additon to cheating on his wife. Considering the Bulls always knocked the Knicks out of the play-offs, I can't like him or his team.

[50centfan]

I'm sticking with the Rockets. I hate the Mavs and Spurs.

Rockets just need one more player........

[thedon99]

I don't mind the Rockets honestly. I hate the Spurs though. The Mavs aren't tath bad, I love Dirk Nowitzki.

[Gacy's Clown]

Dirk is another player that I love to watch play. I think it has something to do with him being as tall as Shaq and can drain 3's like they're taking away the 3-pt. line the next year....

[thedon99]

That's right, Dirk is my kind of my player.

[50centfan]

Tracy underperforms he could be a lot better.

As a resident of Knoxville, TN, I think I can one-up any Kentucky citizen's whining. I once convinced my cousins in India that we don't wear shoes here - that I work on a plantation, eat greul outta a cat bowl on Tuesdays, and reguraly haggle for indulgences at the local shopkeep, which is actually a courthouse owned by Civil War veterans.

Being a Steelers fan in Vol country doesn't help...-.- Go Bulls, too. That's right, you renewed Piston-bandwagon (you testosterone-driven neanderthal nobodies, Eminem-loving thugs with more attitude than nuts and brain cells) - the Bulls fans are still around. Bad boys my jolly behind.

One Question: Don, where are you gettin' all the statistics? Worst police dept., biggest city, etc.

Note: *stereotype. No "i".

...what's this thread about? Hey, I found a dollar underneath my chair.

Well, a couple of yeats ago, there was a listing of worst police departments in the U.S. and Louisville was top ten. It was on the Discovery Channel. It hasn't gotten any better. Now that Louisville has merged with Jefferson County it is the 16th biggest city in the U.S. We have a freakin' sign that says that. Isn't that sad?
I love Louisville, I said that in my previous posts, it's got the same problems any good size city would have. That discussion was between me and Doomstriker is pretty much over.
Who are you calling a thug, and who ever said they loved the Pistons?

[50centfan]

I found my ### on top of my seat......
DANG I wanted a dollar.....
O Wait nope still my ###....

[Aeturnus]

Ugh, it's just the Pistons...whenever someone brings up basketball, I automatically think about Thomas and the so-called Bad Boys walkin' out on the Bulls.

My comments weren't directed to anyone in particular. :P

[thedon99]

I didn't nesessarily love the Pistons, but I wanted anyone to beat the Bulls. I respect you for still being a Bulls fan after those down years you'll had post-Jordan. Most Bulls fans disappeared after that. They are getting better every year though, which is more than can be said for the Knicks. :(
