Around SBN: Josh Hamilton's Unique Public Statement On His Addiction

Rick Reilly article on GK



http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=4997277

 

There's a nice article on espn.com by Rick Reilly that explains some of what George Karl is going through w/ his cancer treatment.  It really blows me away how Karl is handling this whole episode; even through the worst of it he's thinking about the team and the mindset of the players.  Not that I didn't respect him before this, but now I am really proud to have him as our coach.

Great Article Indeed

Reading this article really made me realize all the bashing I’ve ever done about Karl was way off. That man really loves the game of basketball and theDenver Nuggets organization. I can’t think of too many people who would go through so much and still have the strength and will to be there for his team. Good luck George, I hope the best for you and your family through this difficult time.

Wow he actually wrote something that I like

Sleepydog, you should replace Melo’s DUI picture with Balkman’s

"I really didn't want it, but now that I've won it, it's nice. It's an honor. It's nice to know people don't think you're a total idiot. ... It must have been a poor year for coaches." - Doug Moe...talking about winning 1987-88 Coach of the Year award.

STIFF LIST (as of 1/30 by Jeff Morton)

1. THE ORLANDO MAGIC
After starting the season so well with the Dwight Howard trade drama (10-3) - the Magic have fallen apart (2-5 since) with embarrassing losses to the Celtics (twice), Hornets, and Pacers. Trade Dwight already!

2. CHAUNCEY BILLUPS' FLOP VS. NUGGETS
In the waning seconds of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Chauncey pulled off an acting performance so good it deserved an Academy Award. If he was still a Nugget we would love it, but he's not. STIFF!

3. JIMMER FREDETTE
Dude, if you are going to take the game-winning shot, at least draw some iron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNO1goJOruQ

4. GEORGE KARL'S 4TH QUARTER AGAINST THE CLIPPERS
Getting out coached by Vinny Del Negro should be a nice wake-up call. Going away from Gallo. Leaving Al Harrington in. Using Rudy Fernandez at point guard. And going ultra small contributed to the Nuggets loss.

5. JEFF MORTON
For saying that the Nuggets would skimp on payroll and go cheap like the Avalanche. Clearly I was wrong and deserve to be on this Stiff List. I can only hope that the gods of basketball forgive me.
