The actual wording is ...
"It's Lamar Odom's fault. Whatever it is, it's his fault."
In case you didn't know ... that's called sarcasm, son. |

Hell ... this topic should be locked just for the totally misleading topic. Or do you personally know the columnist and can attest to the meaning you have applied to his words???

Wow... you guys are really sad. This guys rankings are meant to poke fun at the teams in a comical way. How about you pull that stick out of your behind? |

ugh, real quick. i love LG and all but, the way some people throw around the terrorist like threat of locking a thread because they basically disagree with you is pretty disturbing. ive actually been a patron of this board since around the championship days and i was banned for basically being bombarded with negative comments because of a point that i made about the clippers being a better fit for kobe at the point in his career, when he was a FA. im glad he stayed and all, but i actually still stand by that claim (imagine, maggs, kobe & brand).
anyway, sorry for the derailment, but the last time i checked this was a forum, not nazi germany. some people need to act like it. |

There's nothing disturbing about it and calling it a terrorist threat might be the most hyperbolic statement I've ever seen on LG. It might be annoying, but it doesn't even qualify as a threat since the person that usually suggests locking it doesn't have the power to do so (otherwise why not do it instead of just saying it?)

Again, equating locking a thread or censoring someone on a privately-run message board that talks about pro basketball of all things isn't even in same universe as the Nazis. Please try to keep some perspective. And also try not to Godwin anymore threads. |

You're the second person to say that and I still haven't seen anyone point out what he said that was racist. |

this has seem to struck a chord. if you're jewish or have close ties to the war i apologize for being insensitive, but please dont take it so literal. you can never be surprised at how cliques on message boards run and how much pull they have with administrators. not even saying that was the case with me, but my point is why is locking a thread such a resort to some who basically just disagree with you? its just dumb to me. |

Suns - He's making an anti-racist statement there. He's poking fun at all
the people who last year said Steve Nash only got the MVP because he
was white. His comment is supporting the black player between those
two in Billups - and again it's clearly in jest.
Warriors - This one would be viewed by most as racist if the guy himself
is white. If he's a black writer, and is saying "n*ggaz who smoke weed"
as he does, you gotta understand that only means "guys who smoke
weed."
I lived over 10 years in Washington D.C. and I can tell ya that in high
school anyone who was considered part of the "hip hop" clique used the
N-word just like most rappers do, just to mean "guys" or "fellas." I had
white friends who'd say it to black friends, black friends who'd say it to
white friends, etc. My best bud was Egyptian and he'd say it to any fella
he was tight with regardless of ethnicity.
In alot of areas that's just street talk.
The write might be a little ignorant to not realize some people will take
that the wrong way, but I think he was just being casual, or even trying
(if a little misguidedly) to be funny.
Still I don't see anything on there to make a legit case for him being
racist, especially if he just happens to talk in some slang in general. |

Always an entertaining read.
Gotta love some of these lines..

player in history to ever have the rookie wall thrown on
him by his coach. |
