Charles Barkley Thinks Clyde Drexler Has Always Been Jealous of Michael Jordan

I think allenp might just be onto something with his ‘whites have superior lung capacity’ theory. For example, isn’t it strange that you never, ever see a skinny black kid outrun a fat-assed white police officer on “Cops”? Well, except for that one time when they did a special edition of “Cops” in Nairobi. But, I digress.

any yall ever seen that one cops epsiode where the guy jumped a high way fence and they couldnt find him?? the show just ended, never ever before or after did i see cops when they don’t catch the guy!

Damn I’m late but here I go:
@jtaylor- stats don’t mean a fkn thing, re-watch the games themselves & jordan DID KILL drexler,& hakeem did kill shaq, da hell you been watching.
Okay, drex vs mj
Drexler did full up stat sheets BUT it was always quiet numbers, like buckets that didn’t matter in the scheme of the game,,,, jordan’s buckets were always significant coming in key stretches & moments.
I remember those days & to the glides credit, he was always a handful & carried the blazers in his own right but he never had a pippen

Not sure I can stand watching the gymnastics/swimming/diving anymore, esp if you have to watch the NBC replays in the evening. They’re constantly putting down any foreign athlete and always find something to criticize about them even with a near perfect performance. But the US athlete gets tonnes of praise and encouragement even when they really mess up. NBC finds a special joy in showing the failures and the subsequent heartbreak of the foreign competition. They will spend a minute showing the Russian gymnists crying and go on about how they are so inferior. I know you’re trying to appeal to the local audience but cmon man!

GP23, I feel you. I just don’t get how people let stereotypes guide them THAT much.

Sad part about Lance is that if no one in cycling was doping, he probably would have still dominated clean. No one is ever going to get him to admit it though. Never.

Teddy you absolutely have a point about what the US saying china is cheating whenever it beats them. no question. but how is it not suspicious that a 16 year old girl was faster than Ryan f*cking Lochte? that doesn’t strike you as odd at all?

he will be, yes.

Datkid: I don’t find it suspicious, I find it amazing.
However, her overall time for the race was still slower than his. Also she was trailing up until the freestyle, which is her strongest stroke. All her races have been that way–she usually conserves energy at her weaker 3 strokes and then takes the lead in the final 50 m. Lochte had the lead the entire race and likely slowed down near the end.
That being said, I don’t want to sound like a woman could never beat a man in swimming or other power sports. Yes it’s rare but I don’t think it’s impossible. That’s my opinion.

Does anyone else share Brad09′s belief that the Chinese government forced Yao Ming’s parents to mate in order to conceive a super-giant? LOL.

Teddy, In 2005, former Newsweek writer Brook Larmer published a book entitled “Operation Yao Ming”, in which he said that Yao’s parents were convinced to marry each other so that they would produce a dominant athlete, and that during Yao’s childhood, he was given special treatment to help him become a great basketball player.
.
A lot of people share that belief.
.
I have no opinion either way, because I have no idea.

What does convinced mean? If I introduce two people to each other, and they end up marrying, could I say I convinced them to marry? How can anyone believe such obvious absurdities though? The angle they’re going for, of course, is that the Communist “totalitarian” government will stop at nothing to win, so they’ll force ppl to mate like zoo animals to engineer a talent, since unlike white capitalist countries, they can’t play fair.
That’s nonsense, man. I don’t even have to read the book. the second point about him being given special treatment–that’s perfectly normal. In the US there are sixth graders who are given “special treatment” too.
In China they do recruit kids into different sports based on physical attributes; it is pretty scientific-based, which seems to work. A coach chose Ye Shiwen for swimming, for example, when he noticed how big her hands were as a child. There’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone picks talent for basketball based on height.

As bad as China gets it from the media though, North Korea has it about 5X worse. There is absolutely nothing positive coming coming out about North Korea, ever. And they’re doing really well these Olympic games. If North/South Korea ever move past their artificial divide, they’ll be an Olympic powerhouse. Probably at least 3rd in the world.

@ nbk: Of course, both Yao’s parents were on the national basketball team. No doubt the recruiters knew that their child would be a super-giant. I just think it’s absurd to believe they could *force* two people to mate; actually it’s pretty insulting. But yeah, any smart recruiters would do the same, I think.

Not insulting from you, insulting from Brad09. But kind of funny he stated that as if it were fact, lol.

@Jtaylor the glide averged 27 in overall for the post season, mj held the glide to 24 ppg on 40% shooting in the finals

have you not been paying attention since you started commenting here? Slam shares your information. Other people get it, and post as you. Normally, they say something completely offensive. It’s why we call them trolls.

@Teddy-the-Bear Cool.

I’m not sure the Shock at 5:41 is him either; he didnt reference himself in the third person. :/ Didn’t Russia force two people to mate in that Rocky movie? Is it so far-fetched that a nation that has a history of social engineering, to take it one step further? (Talking about limiting # of children and slaughtering of first born girls)

The NUPE is consistently on his Uncle Tom ish. I don’t even believe he’s a Nupe.

Oppenheimer…u should just leave this site now. You’re killing me, I’ma add u to the Whats Beef? list with Lakeshow & GarPax.

Shaquille was a US experiment, they were looking to make a super soilder however they kept getting shot as the were taller than trees

@Allenp – Just a quick point: it’s really unfair to rate Drexler and Barkley in the same slacker category on defence. There are few defenders in the last 20 years of NBA history as bad as Barkley.
