#6 1988: Jordan, Wilkins And The Dunk Title

best lineups to ever take the court.

I noticed basketball doesn't get the attention it deserves on Nairaland, obviously because Nigerians are not that into basketball (or so I think). I'm taking it upon myself to bring you all the latest basketball (mostly NBA) gist, from the greatest games ever to the greatest moments. I hope you all drop comments and make it fun!
Meanwhile you can rep your team and tell us what you like about them
Here is mine, I used to be a die hard LA Lakers fan, but since the Lakers decline I've been more of a Black Mamba fan (Kobe). I'm beginning to have a thing for the Miami Heat though. The King (Lebron) is my favourite player at the moment, their counter attacking play (victor ikbeba on would say 'canta attack' lol) reminds me of the Magic johnson era.. Let's hear yours

I read a topic with lots of responses here
about sleep paralysis, it has happened to me a
lot of times and I thought it was a kind of
'demonic oppression', then I changed my view
to the scientific explanation involving
disrupted REM sleep. Two similar experiences
which I will discuss here have changed my view
yet again of sleep paralysis.
One night I slept off while watching a movie
with my sister, at a point I 'woke' up to the
familiar feeling of sleep paralysis, I could see
and hear my sister and the movie she was
watching, i tried my best to call her but I
couldn't. After a while she looked at me then
walked over and tapped me, I felt 'freed'.
When I got up, I asked her why she tapped me,
she said I was grunting heavily in my sleep, I
asked if my eyes where closed and she said
yes. The second experience was almost the
same, the only difference was the person
involved in the waking.
My explanation of sleep paralysis is that it
occurs when the spirit leaves the body (similar
to dreaming), and returns when the body is yet
to wake up (notice that you always wake up at
the end of a dream), at this point there is a
kind of 'disconnect' between the body and the
spirit. Many people who experience sleep
paralysis can actually see what's happening
around them, but do not know that their eyes
are physically closed. During sleep paralysis,
you sometimes hear strange sounds, see
strange objects, or feel a 'presence', these
disappear immediately you are fully awake.
This is because they come from another
'dimension' that only your spirit can perceive.
Sleep paralysis is usually very scary because it
is like being trapped between the physical and
the spiritual realm. I 'believe' with learning to
control your mind (similar to meditation) you
can actually control your spirit during sleep
paralysis.
My views are totally from experience so I
have no scientific evidence to prove them,
people who have experienced sleep paralysis
will understand them better. I'd like to hear
your views on this

Women fall in love by what they hear. Men fall in love by what they see. that's why most of the women put make up and most of the men lie.

tpia@:
I looked up pictures of castel gandolfo, it looks nice, very stately, but seems quite smaller than the vatican.

Its a summer house... It definitely cannot be compared to the vatican, a very cool place by any standard though

sheedy407: Ok,I wan turn Pope,watin I go do and how I go upgrade my cv?

Lmaooo... U don't need to upgrade ur CV, just forward it as it is to pope@vatican.com and pray for goodluck

Pope Benedict just left vatican city for Castel Gandolfo (a summer house). The pope stood for a few minutes on his way out the door to acknowledge cheers from onlookers while each of the cardinals took turns to kneel in front of him in reverence, after which he was ushered into one of cars in a waiting convoy and joined by one of the cardinals. The convoy drove straight to a helipad where a helicopter was waiting to transport the pope to his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo. He will henceforth be refered to as pope emeritus.

I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with your ex girlfriend becoming your dad's second wife

Until a chelsea fan can explain what happened there, you all should keep quiet and accept defeat like men

I love reading success stories, they inspire me ...and some people still be waiting for that 'dream' job in an oil company. Smh

This mynd_44 guy stalks every post on the romance section though! Do you get an alert every time there is a new post or you spend your whole day on this section? You need to chill bruh... Except you have an ulterior motive

A girl on every social network is desperately seeking attention, and she would most likely get it.

*yawns* This guy and his funny tales. The only time I take him serious is in the jobs/vacancies section, every other post is a product of his imagination
Btw its 'covenant'

The best way to reduce the amount of foreign exchange spent on the importation of rice is to produce it locally (international standard)... I'm still trying to understand why Nigeria still imports rice when it can be cultivated in the northern states

if all these people are members of illuminati, it must be a good thing...
@OP, get a life and stop hating on successful people

Mrs.Chima:
Why are people asking vapid questions these days

What the Bleep does a same surname have to do with you choosing to marry her Not everybody with the same surname are related by blood damn!

SMH.

Seconded

Oh no... Not again. Am I the only one tired of seeing these blackberry bashing posts on the front page? One of these Mods has to be a blackberry hater... Whatever happened to choice, different strokes for different folks. Every man to his own!

Lmaoo, this lastma guy looks like a secondary school student... Force indeed
