dayokanu: 5-0 at Half time

Abeg save some goals for Tuesday

Ara ra ra ra ra ra oro ro ro ro ro

Make these boys take am easy oh na Easter we dey nau

Shaq Attack! 1-0 to Die Roten

Juve won at Inter by the way

Vertonghen of life!

lalaboi: blame a40 . e don give u virus

Wetin dey worry this dan-gbana?

Homar: Jupp heynkes set to play gustavo and schwiensteiger against hamburg to test their compatibility together before they take on juventus cause martinez is suspended .

Loool compatibility?? Didn't they play together for the better part of last season?? Abeg make he rest Schweini for that game! He and Ribery would be strongly needed on Tuesday! I also hope Kroos would be ready to work! He was absolutely torched by Marchisio,Montolivo and Pirlo at the Euros

naijababe: Ship him out ke?! We'll persevere with him and he'll ship out of Arsenal after one season without injuries because he wants to win trophies.

Looool unlike RVP Diaby has zero potential!! He is shyte!!! So you don't have to worry about him joining Man U or Man City! By all means ship him out! Forget the hype from guys like duduspace et al the guy no sabi natin

proudlysports: The following is one of the reasons why we have maintained status quo at Arsenal for sometime now. As long as the board keeps getting money, and (maybe) Arsene gets into the top 4 position, there's no need to aim for higher glory.

I've just heard that the Diamond club is sold out for next season already with about 160 seats on the waiting list. Wait for it.... Diamond club members pay £25,000 per ticket. Yup..per ticket, not per season. Diamond club tickets are reserved for only 84 members on match day. £2.1M/match day from these guys alone.

To put this in perspective, if the other seats go for £50/seat on average, for 60,000 capacity, that's about £3M. Just £0.9M above what the diamond club members pay

Magas don pay shout Hallelujah

Queen James has started moaning again! So ninjas shouldn't guard u or what? No one said anything when he posterized JET just last week! Ninja needs to chill

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Jason Over Steve Nash because of his MIND not his Ball Skill

See that's what you keep missing....

The difference in Ball Skill vs Mind, Heart , Motor and Effort.


You think someone is saying "Sheed is a Better Player"...."Nash is a better player"

No.

Just off "Ball Skill"...Removal of Emotional Factors and Mind.

How the hell can someone say Jason Kidd has more "Skill" than Steve Nash, When the first 8 years of Jason Kidd Career he couldn't even shoot.

I think you are carried away by flash rather than substance! The only thing Nash has over Kidd is his shooting!
Shooting! That's it!!!

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: This not not about Better Player...This is about Better "Skilled" Player

Nash vs Kidd

Better Perimeter Shooter =Nash

Better Mid Range Shooter= Nash

Better Free Throw Shooter= Nash

See what I'm saying you had to break that down in 3 different departments! Because that's the only advantage Nash has

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Better Ball Handler = Nash

False

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Better Passer = Toss Up

Better Play Maker = Nash {Kidd only creates on the break, and could not create like Steve in The Halfcourt}


You are calling Kidd a Better Player, solely on his "Effort" "Hustle" and "Motor"..

Those are not "Skill" Traits.

Those are Mental and Motor Traits

Again......

Hell naah fam! No way is Nash a better playmaker than Jason! Kidd only creates on the break? How do you become the 2nd all-time in assists via just creating on transition! Dude was the best PG in the league for like 5 years straight and you are here yarning megedefegede
Don't sleep on Kidd! He was a superb passer of the ball! Fundamentally sound and versatile! Could do it all on the floor! I repeat shooting is the only thing Nash did better than Jason!

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Nash is more "Skilled" than A.I And Kidd.....Not even Close. That does not make them{Nash&Sheed} better Players.
You are Meshing the Two as if they are solely the Same Definitive.
Put Nash's Brain in Kidd's Body with Kidd's Skills...And their would be a "decline"
Now....
Put Kidd's Brain in Nash's Body with Nash's Skills....And their Would be an INFINITELY HIGHER result....
Why?...
Because Nash is 100,000 thousand timez more "skilled"
It's not even Close...

Nash is only a better shooter than AI and Kidd! That is the only thing he has over them! Every other thing is grammar! Nash is so good yet it took him 6 years to even get reckoned with

Note better shooter not even a better scorer because Better shooter doesn't equate to better scorer

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: As far as A.I.....He was so greatly "Skilled" as a Basketball player, that when his "Athleticism" left him at the age of 33...he suddenly found himself out of Basketball, Out of the NBA and Playing In Turkey Till Subsequently even being rejected by European Teams......Right?....Because he was so "skilled"...right?
lol.....
If he was so "skilled" then why did he not have Longevity like Nash?.....Who is still ballin at 40.

If he was so skilled....then why did the Nba toss him out the League like a Bag of Trash.....

I rest my case

"Skill" My Children....

"Skill" debate does not mean whose the best "player"...but whose the most skilled player

Two Completely Different Debates.....

Hehehehehe you have just taken clowning to another level! Can your body take half the beating AI's did? His kamikaze style was what burnt him out but who can blame him? Nigga was barely 6'0 - 160,165 going hard at guys almost twice his size every other night
He was option A for over a decade in a very average Sixers team!! Put Nash in AI's scenario and he wouldn't even make it to 33!! Loool what is this nigga talking about? Who was AI's option B or was there a night where AI could afford to not bring his A-game? A washed up Webber? Mutombo,Dalembert looool

Roland17: What a season!!! i cant wait for this season to be done, we are just a huge mess.

Lmao! After dissing the Knicks so much its only right yall get to lose to em

The only thing Sheed is significantly better than KG at is shooting 3's hardly a requirement for any Power Forward now is it? I don't agree that his mid-range J is better I also don't agree that he had a better post-game. Dirk's fall away J is better than both of em's


Lol @ Arenas how can I rate Arenas cos of a couple good seasons with the Wizards did he ever pass the 1st round of the playoffs in his career?
As for AI? Loool ninja are u serious! He played with arguably the largest assortment of duds known to man!! You know u are phucked when your 2nd best player is Dikembe Mutombo! How many PPG did he average again? You won't hear me say AI is the best but phuckit that ninja was a warrior!! Steve who? Don't let those regular season MVP's fool you
If you had a street ball team you would pick Nash ahead of AI?? Hahahaha
No NBA Finals even with guys like Nowitzki,Finley and Stoudemire! Granted he played in a stronger conference but the Suns where good for at least an NBA Final!
Jason Kidd >>>> Steve Nash
AI >>>> Steve Nash


How would KG win titles when the two best teammates he had throughout his T'Wolves days where Sprewell and Marbury? What was he going to win with those niggas? Sheed had a better supporting cast at Portland same can also be said for Webber
Give KG credit! 8 straight playoffs is not beans with that useless T'Wolves team
I wonder what PP won on his own! Even with Antoine Walker on his side


[quote author=::DaddyBlack::]......His Offensive Game still is Shyte....

Patrick Ewing.....Yeah......The Legendary Immortal Patrick Ewing.......

A Man who had not one Low post move in his Offensive Repertoire

That World Renowned Tutelage of the Legendary Immortal Patrick Ewing.......[/quote]You need to chill with this fallacy because I don't see how a ninja leads a team to two NBA Finals survives almost two decades in the game and scores so many points without a low post game you are just being unfair! Ewing would still go down as one of the all time greats and he would never have achieved that without a low post game! He woulda been scouted outta the league

AjanleKoko: Okay, George Weah and co.
Of course that can happen. Didn't we almost lose to an 'underdog' Milan in the last round?
I'm just saying nobody needs to get stuck on the Ibra factor. He's a very good player, yes. But still does not change anything for us, as they have a good team irrespective of Ibra.

Loool that PSG team is faecal without Ibra! Not saying his being there would most likely stop Barca from winning cos I expect yall to win but without Ibra PSG is no different from Stoke really

AjanleKoko: And what happened 94/95?

Well you lost to an underdog PSG side! In probably one of the upsets of UCL history With probably the best team not to win a UCL (not European Cup)

AjanleKoko: Were we scared of him?

We played him last QFs. Doesn't mean diddly-squat,as long as our boys all do what they're supposed to.

Getting a little overconfident are we? I hope you haven't forgotten what happened 94/95

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Sheed Skillset is Light Years Beyond Garnett

His Range and His Interior Post Moves were Better

As Far as How can you score over 20,000 points in the Nba with no Offensive Game.

Two Words, Patrick Ewing.

God Bless the Big Homie Sheed

For those who study the Game...a True Basketball Legend...

A BBALL Genius with a Corrupted Mind.

This Royal just dey yarn opaks! Pure megedefegede! Ewing had no offensive game yet he was exceptional in college! scored over 20,000pts, was an 11 time all-star and was voted as one of the 50 greatest players of all-time!! Dude was just unlucky to be playing against MJ and Olajuwon at his peak! He more than deserved a ring and was just unfortunate
I wonder what is the offensive game of the average center? Dwight used to be utter shyte on offense! He woulda ended up like Ben Wallace if not partly for Ewing's tutelage

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: [color=#000099][i]You Buggin Fam....LmL
You Smoking Them Reindeer Vines Today
Nobody said he's a better player.
Just a Better Talent With More Overall Skills and Tools{The Game is Still 90% Mental Though}{And That's what He Lacked}
and a Larger Skill Set

I think you are just being abstract! I respect Sheed's physicality and shooting range for a big man but he's not exactly the Iceman or Dr J

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Ryan Giggs is a More Accomplished Player Than Adriano From Mid 2000S Inter...
Does that mean Adriano still wasn't The better "Talent" ?
Of Course Not
Talent is Cultivated. Ball Skill and Tool Sets can only be seen Via Eye and Study and Not Statistical Numerical Data.

Whaaaaaat!! Adriano?? That overrated bum!! Aside a powerful left boot dude had nothing else! On that basis we can also say Denilson is a talent afterall he could do a million stepovers a second

I wouldn't even call Ronaldo de lima cos that is overkill! Rivaldo,Romario,Bebeto,Leonardo where all better than Adriano! With a higher skill set

Despite the fact that they don't play similar positions I would take Giggs over Adriano still

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Hell, Dwight Howard is more "Accomplished" than Sheed, would you dare say that bum has more "skills" than Sheed as Well?
Accomplishments don't purify nor justify a player's overall ability and pure skill
Accomplishments don't define a tool box

Ninja please the comparison was of power forwards! Cos very soon you would ask me if Shaq had more skills than Sheed

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Perfect Example....Robert Horry vs Tim Thomas

Remember Tim Thomas?

A Wonderful All Around Talent coming out of Jersey....Guy could do everything

But was never selfish enough to "Take Greatness"

Which Tim Thomas? You mean the coon that had beef with Nowitzki? That had just one good season with the Suns? Inconsistency and a stanky attitude was his achilles heel actually

IIIIxRoyalxIIII:
Kg has no offensive game man, it's all hustle. and a Somewhat Decent Mid Range Shot.

He has an NBA Ring because of the Biased Refs and a corrupt Nba who was dying to have the celtics back as a main cog in the ratings scale

You don't score over 20,000pts in the NBA without an offensive game! Man what are you even talking about? You guys got beat by the Celtics nice and clean! Was it the refs that made y'all blow a 24 abi na 27pt lead in Game 3? If you even said yall lost because Ariza and Bynum where hurt I woulda understood your perspective a bit

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Sheed and Kg have the same number of rings. 1

but that's irrelevant because we are solely talking of Ball Skill, not career accomplishments.


Rubbish

You are Judging him by stats, The guy was the most unselfish "Talent" to have ever played

He was by FAR the best player on the team.

Besides Chauncey the other 3 starters RIP,Tay,and Ben were just journeymen scrubs.

Ben was a scrub?? Loool you think the Pistons would make 6 straight conference Finals without Ben Wallace?? I'm sure Dikembe,Rodman and Bruce Bowen where also scrubs! Ben Wallace a defensive beast!!! Rebounding machine! Granted he couldn't make a free-throw to save his life and was horribly challenged offensively but he's still Hall of Fame bound

IIIIxRoyalxIIII:
KG Offensive Tool Set Came no where near Rasheed's

A Players Scoring Average is based on his situation on the Team.

Sometimes a player might end up in the right situation where he can shoot as much as he likes
Doesn't necessarily make him a better scorer. Look at Gilbert Arenas, he was a Bum, but always had a green light
Kevin had the Light, Who else was gonna shoot the ball in Minnesota all those Years?....Wally?...Sam Mitchell?

Nonsense! Rasheed only had more range

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: KG Was a Better Perimeter Defender....Kg was not a better Interior Defender Though

Kg has always struggled in the Interior post with big men who have large mass and girth

Ala Duncan...Who shytted on Kg his whole Entire Life.

Kg couldn't guard the shaq's..Duncans...Sabonis...Vlade's.

Hell i don't even know why am even writing this....because even when sheed was an old man playing for boston, he would come in and guard the best interior post presence lol

Kg=OverRated

Lmaoooo are you people hearing this guy? Who could guard prime Shaq?? Circa 99-03
Goodluck guarding Tim Duncan too whose bread and butter was banking shots off the glass from 15 feet out afterall Sheed had his chance with the 05 Pistons and we all know what happened
Whether anterior,posterior,exterior or interior KG is a better defender and better rebounder than Sheed

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Dirk was a Better Scorer, Granted, but his defense, rebounding, and horrible interior and perimeter D Keeps him from being the all around "talent" Sheed was

Ball Skill and Talent, can't be seen or equated through Numerical Data, Only a Basketball Purist Eyes.

God Bless the Big Homie Sheed. ~

No one is comparing Dirk on D to anybody I only said he is not as bad as advertised! He averages over 7 rebounds and a block per game! He's been in the league 15 seasons that's not a horrible average
Offensively however you would need to have popped a molly or two to suggest that Sheed is better than Dirk

occam: Definitely much better than DIrk and Dincan. And at par or even slightly above KG. Go watch him in his Blazer days and you'll know dude was special. Does technicals made people focus more on his troubles than skills

Wtthout Sheed that Pistons team couldn't have won 2004

When Sheed takes duds like Desagana Diop,Erick Dampier and Devin Harris to NBA Finals get back to me
Timmy is a better defender than Sheed more reliable as a scorer too
Nowitzki is a better shooter than Sheed! The best shooting big man ever period!

Sheed was not the best scorer on his team neither was he the best defender (Ben and Tayshaun where better) so how can he be better than Dirk and Duncan

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: Yes, more skilled than Both

Duncan Has never had Sheed's Range....Sheed can hit threes and has a more varied post game

DirK could never play interior defense as good as Sheed

Kg has Zero Post Game, no 3pt range and never had a serious go to move. His Post Game was always subpar for a "superstar"

KG has zero post game?? Hehehe na today I just dey hear this one! No go to move? How do you survive 18 years in the League winning League MVP's,All-star MVP's and an NBA championship with no go to move or sub-par post game. Stop clowning brah

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: As i said, based solely on skill set...Sheed was the Most Skilled Big Man of his Era
He could do everything, His mind was just ravaged and emotionally broken
As far as Ball Skill, I can name many things Duncan,KG,and Dirk Could not Do.
That is not the Case with Rasheed, Sheed could do everything, Which is why Larry Brown Got to the Finals Twice with Him.

But Sheed was not even the best player in that Pistons team! Granted he had a lot of strong points but he was not exceptional or consistent at any of them that's why he has not been able to match their individual laurels

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: A Young Prime Sheed with his talents and skills was Light Years Beyond Kg and Dirk.

Sheed's mind prevented him from being a great player and a hall of famer

He was never selfish enough to want it either. Another Flaw

KG was a better defender than Sheed! A better scorer! Dirk was also a better and smoother scorer! Dirk's only knock is his D which is not as bad as always advertised

IIIIxRoyalxIIII: The 04 Pistons are misleading though....

Because all Basketball Purist Know When Rasheed had his head on straight...

His skill set and size made him the Most Skilled and Talented Big Man in all of Basketball at the Time.

Let's not forget, prior to Sheed beating My 04 Lakers....

His Blazer Team Had us beaten as well until the Collapse

Rasheed was one of the great Talents in Basketball History...But...

His Mind and Emotional Instability Negated him from Being a True "Star"

There is No Question Though, That During his Era.."Sheed" was the Most "Skilled" Big Man in All of Basketball.

Don't be Surprised if you see a Nuggets Vs Heat NBA Finals.

More skilled than KG,Dirk,Duncan? I don't think so! He was good but not a superstar! The 04 Pistons didn't have a superstar

Well the Heat stretch their streak to 26 and the Nuggets have also won 15 straight! The most compelling battle is the one for 8th seed out West. Lakers,Mavs,Jazz all in with a shout

drnoel: There is a form of accussation one would get that one may be too shocked to react. That was what happened to me.

I'd advice you to stay away from that family! What next would they accuse you of? Murder? Imagine if it was something that could land you in police custody na so you for quiet bah?

Delafruita: ignorance.webber was asked to turn his engine down because the principal wanted both cars to finish in good condition.vettel was specifically asked to maintain the current position but he decided to disobey and put 46points and the constructor's championship at risk all because he wanted more points for himself.thats selfishness.

rosberg was in a similar situation.hamilton was asked to slow down so as to conserve fuel.rosberg wanted to overtake as he felt he was going faster to which the principal responded "lewis can go faster as well".and what happened?rosberg obeyed

Abeg shut up! Webber did not exactly give up his spot meekly if not there wouldn't have been such a fierce battle for positions in the end Vettel was wrong but Webber's whining and sulking was just as annoying to watch

montelik: I like Vettel, but my affinity for him doesn't mean I will try to excuse his actions. This was needless and senseless competitiveness in just the 2nd race of the season. Even noted "win at all cost" Schumacher saved his gamesmanship for when it was really necessary. As regards Webber being a diva for his blunt but truthful reaction. News flash, every F1 driver has made similar complaints when they have been on the receiving of bad luck. They are all ego filled, Lewis, Felipe, Fernando, Kimi, Jenson e.t.c. In fact Sebastien is an even bigger diva than most when shit hits him.

I don't feel bad for Webber if it where down to him alone RBR wouldn't be 3 times WC! He coulda still won that race if he tried hard enough

biolabee: @A-40, I will send your post to the scudereria team

Hehehehe my belle just dey sweet anyhow as Alonso crash for lap 2! Dude went kamikaze needlessly it was his gra gra that made him crash into the back of Vettel and break his wing! Had he stayed 2nd he woulda been in a much better position now

Mark Webber is such a diva! He should chill with the pity party already! Not condoning Vettel's behavior but for all his agidi the race was still Webber's to lose!! Vettel just wanted it more and I can understand why! 2 pole positions with no wins woulda been bad for his psyche

Note to Alonso: Know when to be aggressive and wait your turn! Dude overtook Massa at the start and got greedy! His reward is 22pts behind Vettel already puts him under pressure to perform in China

Just a rhetorical question actually the team must have their reasons I'm sure

Vettel Wins the Malaysian Grand Prix

biolabee: wats wrong with SV,hear he nearly crashed with MW like canada two yrs ago

I have to admit I have not seen Vettel this antsy before! He and Webber might fight after this race

Why wouldn't they let Rosberg pass Hamilton?

Gotta love Red Bull! Not even Vettel's wishes are bowed to!

These guys really went at each other! Vettel holds the edge tho

omodapson: I can't help but laugh at Hamilton. He still sees himself as a Mclaren driver. lol! He just Pit at his old team for tyre change...

Hehehe that was hilarious!

Tyre management would be huge today! This race no sure for anybody! Pole position means nothing really

All he had to do was pit and fix his wing! I dunno what he was thinking

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

ALONSO OUT!

Overskill don kill d ninja again
