The Best 14 players
you honestly think barganni, aldridge and tyrus thomas are all better then brandon roy?
my bad, i guess i misunderstood how you were listing them.
no need to be a jerk about it
you, i misread it and you told me i need to re read it instead of just correcting me.
it's all good. I wasnt talking to you mike, i can take being called silly with the best of them.
i aint mad mike, i can take it with the best of them. I just took it as he was telling me i need to read better or something.
you're lucky there is only monitor in fornt of me mike and the bronx is so far away or i would ring your little neck. No one makes fun of llperez's reading ability.
now that im over being super sensitive, i say thanks for the lists knicksfan. The 2006 draft does appear to be the weakest.
LOL, thanks llperez, I did not mean for my post to attack your reading abilities because your posts are worth reading.
I remember being at the 2005 draft, and when Villanueva got taken 7th everyone was quite surprised. The Raptors since picking Bosh have struggled to draft well.
good man. I work on and off right now for costco a couple weeks on and a couple weeks off while i go to school. And you?
i was working on getting my english degree with teaching credentials. But I had some problems getting in school on time. SO now im taking a few classes for waste water management so i can work for the city. That will come a lot quicker because i only need 4 classes and if i dont like it i can go to school later to get back into trying to be a teacher. At 28, i should have all this stuff behind me, but thats what happens when you goof off and work construction for 7 years doing labor work. In other words, get that edumacation mike.
Actually, I played my HS JV championship game there last year...we were B divison last yr and we lost that game to an A division Long Island team, that for some reason got to play in the championship game in a lesser division...And no, I dont go to fordham games but I occasionally been going to st.rays hs games this year since i was unable to play for my team because of grades...I am a hs Junior

What team from Long Island?? I am a sophomore at Hofstra University, which I think you would have heard of Mikenike. Also from Long Island as well. Hofstra's head coach, Tom Pecora just left for Fordham that's only why I asked.
I plan on going to Harvard..they are practically begging me to come, they have offered me 24 different scholarships....jk....I want to go to st.johns or fordham or hopefully syracuse
thanks knicksfan. I dont look at it like things didnt work out. I actually made really good money in construction and even bought a house. But then 2 1/2 years ago i broke my foot real bad and while i was layed out for almost a year i decided construction wasnt what i wanted so im back finishing the degree.
so what are u looking to teach?
You should have an easier time getting into Cuse over Fordham. All good schools though. Any idea what you want to study? If Harvard offered scholarships for posting on this site, then I think we would all have one, lol.
llperez, that's good you have a positive outlook. I am studying elementary education now, but I plan on getting my masters in Special Education and to teach in the inner city as well as coach varsity basketball.
i want to make money for chatting online about ball and watching it all day.
I want to get into something with sports....Outside of that I like a couple of things....Right now though I am focused on this summer improving my game for my senior yr...
when we chat next winter mike, i dont want to hear nothing about you couldnt play because of grades. i want to hear about how you were balling it up.
You should look into Hofstra then. Next season they lose 4 seniors. Manhattan and Iona are also nearby as well. Though since you need a great senior year, you should keep other options open like JUCO or go to a prep school for a year.
mikenike whats your real name so i can look u up?
Always welcome too, I need someone to ball with to challenge me. Yo one day the users on this site should all make teams from each region of the country and Aran uses his connections to allow us to play at MSG for the 1st annual NBAdraft.net tourney (users only allowed to play).

I want to hear your thoughts on this. I must say the 2004 draft was the easiest, but the 2007 draft was the hardest by far, incredibly deep draft.
