Dennis "Mr. Hustle" Scott and some guy named Steve Holman diss Lebron.
Once again, we can't make this stuff up, NBA Edition.
TNT spent their entire pregame show talking about "Lebron-gate." With his Cavs losing by nine with about 15 seconds left the other night versus Atlanta, a pissed James missed a late 3 and did not get back on D. The game was obviously over, Lebron knew it, everybody knew it.
Except "Mr. Hustle" and somebody named Steve Holman, who are the Hawks radio announcers. Basketball fans remember Scott as part of Lethal Weapon III under Bobby Cremins at Georgia Tech. Went to a Final Four. Then, once he got to the NBA Scott went all Marlon Brando in "Apocalypse Now" and became a standstill jumpshooter. Lasted quite a few years, but would have been a HELL of a player if he hadn't put on 30 pounds post G-Tech. The guy was great when he was thin. Was not when he put on the weight.
And he and some guy named Steve Holman dare to rip Lebron James? Anyone would be upset if their center was an injury waiting to happen, their 2 guard was a "now you see him now you don't" type of player, having one good game and one or two bad ones, and their point guard was Damon goddamn Jones (Eric Snow is a nice player, but won't be starting on any 50 win clubs anytime soon). Wow.
============================
Oh yeah. Here is Atlanta's W's and L's for the last eight years. Slight room for improvement, but the electricity that their awesome fans generate more than makes up for the shitty record.
99-2000 -- 28 - 54
2000-01 -- 25 - 57
2001-02 -- 33 - 49
2002-03 -- 35 - 57
2003-04 -- 28 - 54
2004-05 -- 13 - 69
2005-06 -- 26 - 56
The franchise has exactly 1 Championship - 1958. And that was only because Bill Russell rolled an ankle in the playoffs.
============================
Apartment404. All NBA. All the time.
Just you wait until the college season starts.
