NBA Finals!!
 
Are you guys watching the finals?! They are going into overtime as I write! Snow just missed the 3-pointer, which would have given the Sixers the victory in the last seconds http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. I want the Sixers to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad the Sixers couldn't hold on to the 12-point lead or whatever it was in the 3rd qtr.

Underdogs rule! It's time for the Lakers to lose http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif...go Sixers!

P.S. Oh yeah, I also have a bet going on w/ my cousin, who's a die-hard Laker fan http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif.

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD-BYE 19-game win streak by the Lakers!!! hahaha (sorry Laker fans).

Philly does a miraculous come-from-behind win in OT...YAY 76ers!! Now they're primed to win, since they've won home field advantage AND have their middle games at home!

KillarneyRose 06-07-2001 01:14 AM

Newbie! You're obviously an NBA fan so you will know what's up with this.....some guy on the Lakers married a high school student or something? Is this true? Thought I heard something on the radio but could have been mistaken.

WHAT??!!! WHOA. KillarneyRose--I'm not as die-hard for the NBA as I am for baseball http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif, so I don't know about that! Wow!

Well, you probably know this, too...but Kobe married (I think they're still together?) a girl who was also very young, like a 19 year old or something like that.

Hmmm...I honestly don't know who that would be! I know that Rick Fox is married to Vanessa Williams (are they still together?), and well, Shaq has had numerous claims that he has slept with certain icons such as Cindy Crawford and Venus Williams. Of course, that's all BS!

That is horrible! I'm so sorry I don't know who that is...but I can almost bet that there was a child involved? Perhaps some Laker fan can educate us! (And also tell me if those marriages with Kobe and with Rick Fox are still intact!)

Tracy,

There's a very informative thread on the Kobe Bryant/Vanessa Laine marriage in the DST forum: http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/...ML/001019.html


newbie 06-07-2001 01:29 AM

Oh, thanks OTW! So it was Kobe?! I thought his fiancee was 19?

Hmm... if she was indeed pregnant (where I'm reading the thread...rumors had it that she was pregos), did she ever show?

Wow, an engagement ring that cost close to 100,000 dollars http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

"I know that Rick Fox is married to Vanessa Williams (are they still together?), and well, Shaq has had numerous claims that he has slept with certain icons such as Cindy Crawford and Venus Williams. Of course, that's all BS!"

The fact that Fox could get Vanessa has me aching to this day. And yes they are still together. And Shaq never claimed that. A reporter was interviewing him and girls came up and he joked around saying he got all of them and named a few celebrities. People blew it out of proportion and the next day, he made sure everyone knew he was only joking around.

Chief 06-07-2001 11:27 AM

Stat of the day: Iverson took 41 SHOTS in that game, almost as much as the rest of the 76ers combined. Was it Confucius who first said, "There's no 'I' in team?" I mean, if I took 40 shots a game, I could lead the league in scoring too. One of the many reasons why I no longer watch the NBA...

Yeah, yeah, so we're down 2-1 http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif We could be leading 3-0 if the Sixers could have made those damn free throws and got to the FT line. Hahaa, yesterday was an excellent sight--Shaq Daddy being given 6 fouls in a matter of 15 minutes!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif That was awesome.

Lemme tell you though...I am so in love with the Sixers. Nobody has shown more heart, more courage, more strength than them!! And Allen Iverson--can't say enough about him! He has gone through such a makeover recently...he is definitely THE strongest player out there...in terms of heart!

Lakers are no longer invincible huh?!! They aren't as great as everybody said they would be!

newbie 06-11-2001 05:58 PM

Oh yeah, it was a sad sight though yesterday. (EVEN as much as I HATE L.A.!) A Laker fan was knocked unconscious from behind and a Sixers fan jumped on his head.

Anyway, BEAT LA, BEAT LA!!!! I hate all LA teams (especially the Dodgers http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif) except for the college teams.

Vera, that's not fair!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif What about Shaq? Without Shaq, I don't think you guys could have won those 2 games. I'm not talking about the last few minutes where he was fouled out...but it's the same thing, ain't it? And without Kobe, you guys would be nowhere, JUST like Iverson is our man http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif.

Iverson is the best there is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see how those da*n Lakers (haha) double/triple-teamed him all the time, tried to mess him up, kept on fouling him but the refs didn't see, etc. etc.???? He has SO MCUH HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so THE MAN http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. He beat that annoying defense....had these AMAZING shots, wow... AND he is under 6 feet...little guy who has to go up against those big guys...

I WANT THE SIIIIXXXXXXERRRRRS to winnnnnnnn (please!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DESERVE IT! I'm so glad that Iverson has matured soo much http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. It's amazing to watch him change!

AGDsexysmoker 06-12-2001 10:53 PM

my ex-boyfriend told me this:
kobe was born in philly (a well-known fact).. and was actually named after a restaurant called "kobe's".... once the finals started, the restaurant changed it's name.. to "A.I" (Allen Iverson)...haha!
also... it is rumored kobe's highschool friends asked him for tickets to the finals, but he refused b/c they were SIXERS FANS!
what an ass!

all you said is true, AGDSexySmoker http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif.

But, I don't think Kobe is an ass, I think he was just joking around, saying that they were Sixers fans (then again, maybe he was being mean? dunno for sure). Mabye his "friends" all of a sudden called him up from nowhere, after not talking for a long time?

But I think the part about the restaurant being changed to A.I. is pretty darn NEAT http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Sisterplum 06-13-2001 04:04 PM

Hee hee Carolyn!
It's gettin' ugly here! LOL! I mean that the Sixers....all the have is Iverson. The Lakers have both Kobe and Shaq....and yeah they probably woudn't be there without both of them on the team....but if even one was there I think they'd still be kickin' ass! So there's no comparison....no Iverson, no Sixers. If Shaq or Kobe wasn't there....I think the Lakers would still be tops!

Maybe we should leave it at that.....before we start kickin' each other's a**! LOL!

Okay,

Prior to seeing tonight's game, I had read threads in the AKA and DST forums about Beyonce's (with special guest appearance by Destiny's Child) halftime show.

I was absolutely ECSTATIC to see and hear a crowd boo them off...on national TV!

If Mrs. Knowles was responsible for the girls' halftime attire (or lack thereof), then she needs to go back to fashion school.

I thought it was so classy how one DC backup dancer had the nerve to yell "WHATEVER!" to the crowd...

I swear...I don't know who the Philly crowd hated more--Shaq or Destiny's Child.

You see, I hate Destiny's Child so much (soooo sick of them...don't think they can really sing in fact (well, don't think BEYONCE can sing...you get my drift, right? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif), AND I was so disgusted by the Sixers's performance, that I turned off the TV and decided to chat online with some of my GC buddies at halftime, lol.

AHh, too bad, I would have loved to see the Philly crowd (ya gotta love 'em!!) booing them off!!! What a sight!

And about the game...all I can say is that I'm glad that the Sixers didn't stop shooting till the end...never ever gave up...now THAT'S heart!!!! They just never die http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. And unfortunately Allen Iverson--my hero (NBA, at least http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif)--didn't make the shots till later, when it didn't make that big of a difference.

Anyway, even though we sucked yesterday...at least I can say how proud I am of my team...I don't think that the lakers would have acted that way if they were down 20 points in the game!!

I believe that the backup dancer you're talking about is Beyonce's lil sis--Solange. That explains it.

Hey AGDSexySmoker--you will love this one, too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif.

I was talking to KSig RC from GC online and he said something about how Kobe was asked Q's by the press...the press asked him something like, "What can they [the defenders] do to stop you?" <--sorry that's not very exact...I can't remember what KSig RC said exactly. And Kobe answered, "There's no answer...like the Pythagoream Theorem."

What an a$$ of an answer...haha, I think it's funny that he said that the Pythagoream Theorem can't be solved, or something like that.
