    The problem is that the NBA still plays under the Jordan rules but there is no more Jordan. In a sense it is UNC's fault.

    Actually I used to like the NBA when there were great rivalries, and the last year I liked it was when Jordan was playing for the Bulls, so that pretty much disproves the "all Duke fans hate the NBA". Personally I would think UNC fans would hate it more because they seem to lose more players early to it than Duke. But now it's just a bunch of egomaniacs in it for the money. It just doesn't interest me anymore. I just wish they would send college guys or a specially trained Olympics team to play basketball if they're gonna play.

    In fact, if it wasn't for the Panthers, I probably wouldn't be much into pro football. I still love college bball and football.

    If the AND1 team could make it past half court without being called for traveling and carrying that would be a miracle in itself.

    Having the Harlem Globetrotters represent the USA would be a pretty cool idea. They might not win the gold, but they'd be entertaining.

    Like I said, I'm a Heels fan, and I was PRAYING the Hornets wouldn't take overrated J.R. Reid. Aren't you suppose to get better each year?

    Looks like we are going to pull another one out. Aussies had the lead going into the 4th, but we stepped it up defensively and are blowing them out now, 89-74.
