Fork and I are hard at work on a formula that would calculate who's better between two players whose primes were a decade apart.

Why don't you just steal the existing ones?

So, to recap:

Bulls Fans: Scottie Pippen was an awesome basketball player and we feel was better than James Worthy.

Knick Fans: 1.8 second omfglolz!!!!!!!!!1

Knicks fans also feel that Pippen was better than James Worthy, they just apparently would rather have the worse player.  But only if it was a big game.

I don't think either of the Knicks fans on this forum said that, but maybe you know somebody who did.



You're right. That's my mistake. Fork did say that he thought Worthy was better, he just couldn't provide any evidence why because it was opinion-based, which is irrefutable.

For example, in my opinion, I'm taller than Yao Ming. Can't be shot down.

Fork and I are hard at work on a formula that would calculate who's better between two players whose primes were a decade apart. We should have it done by lunchtime tomorrow. Do you have an email address where we can send you the link to a picture of British Muscle Bear or would you prefer IM?   being butthurt and wrong.

This is opinion, son.

Condescension and fact-free handwaving go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

the "son" was based more upon a certain resemblance than any condesenscension.

And I never said the Bulls of that era weren't better than the Knicks. I'm just saying there were several small forwards in the NBA at that time who would have won 6 rings beside Jordan.

As for Patrick Ewing, contrary to what most Knick fans think, the man never drew a breath as the best center in the NBA.

This may absolutely be true- but that doesn't make 1) any of them  as good as Scottie or 2) Scottie less awesome.

QuoteCarmelo Anthony wants out of Denver, and Worldwide Wes delivered that message to the Nuggets with all the delicacy of a jackhammer at Sunday morning services. Do yourself a favor and trade him, the agent told the organization weeks ago.

Denver was furnished with a short list of teams and told to get to work. Yes, this is how William Wesley and Leon Rose of CAA work now, thick with threats and ultimatums and a swagger suggesting that the sport belongs to them. After Anthony told owner-in-waiting Josh Kroenke that he still wanted out of Denver during a Sunday meeting, the Nuggets appear done trying to sell their All-Star forward on a contract extension.

Is an Anthony/Rose/Boozer combo good enough to threaten for a title?  I say yes.  I sincerely doubt the Bulls are on that list, but if they were, I would assume talks start with Noah, progress to James Johnson (please) and end with a shitload of first round picks.

They'd sure be an offensive powerhouse, but I worry they couldn't stop anyone if they gave up Noah to get Melo.  Still not sure they could get past Miami.

Ahh, but you fail to consider defensive stopper Omer Asik.

Could you get him while keeping Noah?  It doesn't matter in reality, because it's not going to happen.   That said, Melo/Rose/Boozer/Noah would definitely beat the heat because I'm an idiot and team chemistry and karma and something something.

Deng, Gibson and uhhhh, the Bulls' 2011, 2013 and 2015 first-round picks?

Yeah, probably not going to happen.

Update:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=mc-anthonywish090810

QuoteCarmelo Anthony still hopes to persuade the Denver Nuggets to trade him, preferably to either the Chicago Bulls or New York Knicks, an NBA source with knowledge of Anthony's wishes told Yahoo! Sports.

The Knicks have limited assets to offer the Nuggets, which makes the Bulls a more appealing potential trade partner. The Bulls can offer a replacement small forward in Luol Deng, as well as two young forwards in James Johnso and Taj Gibson.

I'm still skeptical of how well Rose and Melo would complement one another, but I'd be willing to find out.

Dwight Howard, after he comes over in the Deng trade.
