Get QHaynes20 back into positves
Totally agree, I've been on that mission for awhile but one point doesn't do much.
it'll never work, i dont know who it is, but theres an army that gives hims negatives for the hell of it
but im down to see and try if we can do it
Bullshyt, were getting you in the positives
seriously guys, Points don't matter. I don't judge a person's degree of Basketball-knowledge by points, that's stupid. If 15 year old kids want to treat this forum like Xbox live and want to unlock "highest point total" achievements, let them. Hardcore basketball fans like yours truly will not give them whatever respect they think they deserve. Even though QHaynes has negative points, I still regard him as a top 10 poster (in terms of knowledgeableness ) on this site, even though I ripped into him a few months back about trading some draft picks. Look, I know it feels good to have others look at your points and automatically think you have inside sources, but it's much more satisfying to garner respect through the quality of your posts.
From now on, I will erase posts where the topic is purely based upon someone griping about points. Thanks for your cooperation.
LOL, these mods are tight....hop off
We all know that points dont matter, i think were all smart enough to realize that...
its just ironic how one of the most respected guys on this site, with a high b-ball IQ, has such low points
ok... Some people just gave MagikKnick 2 negative points for the above comment. There are definitely come negative nancies on this site. I see nothing wrong with the comment. I wish MODS can overturn points, that'll make the points system much more fair.
Either delete the point system entirely
or show the screen names of those who gave negatives
..thats my fix
did he really say that?
the predicted 2010 mock draft thread.. he said something about white players dont get drafted high because they lack athleticism, toughness, and something else.
"No it wasn't...he was speaking the truth. Why do you think alot of white players aren't drafted high or at all?
Athleticism, toughness, potential"
That looks more like your opinion rather than what you heard
I can understand the athleticism part. But toughness is just a joke. There are some weak players of every color. Go tell Harpring, Pryzbilla, Brockman, Hinrich, Gortat, etc they are not tough. White guys don't normally get drafted high because there are not as many good ones, period. I don't think toughness has any thing to do with it.
see...thats why i dont like you because you take the part you want to.
GO AHEAD GO LOOK MORE DOWN INTO THAT POST, I STATED IT. GO AHEAD......I knew this post would fine a hater
I remember when Budinger was being talked about...they said is main weakness was "toughness"
I like Budinger and I wanted him to be taken by NY at 29...I'm not racist.
Budinger was not tough. But neither was Jonathen Bender. I didn't read the other thread, but you can't just say white guys are not tough because of a few examples. You can hate on indivdual white players toughness, but to lump them all together is just inaccurate.
While we're off-topic here.. can we ban the word "hater"? there is nothing more annoying than someone calling another a hater because they disagree or call them out on something.
Alright, I looked at the post after that... And then the 2nd post after you said:
"I agree but there hasn't been alot of white players who got a chance in the L for those reasons.
Im not been racist...being honest"
Because as the game has evolved, athleticism has taken a premium. There used to be big white dudes on every team that could rebound set screens and thats about it. But they have been faded out over the decades because now you have to have some more skills if you want to last in the league. It has more to do with athleiticism then toughness. Guys like Laimbeer, Rambis, Eaton, Konacak, they would have trouble playing in todays game, but it wasn't because of toughness. Shaq called Scott Skiles one of the toughest dudes he had ever met and said that Scott punched him one time in the mouth during a fight at practice. Do you think your boy Kenny Andersen would be punching Shaq?
Maybe they are prejudiced against poor people













Some of yall are giving him negatives for no reason. Everyone should go back and give him a positive for everything to get him out of negatives.
