OK i have been wondering this for a long time. Every time I play as the celtics, or the lakers, or the magic, they have a player that can dunk near the rim WITHOUT getting a running start. (Gasol AND Bynum, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard). When I play as the Cavaliers, I can never git Zydrunas to dunk near the rim. Does he have to get a running start?

for LA laker fans! What qualities do they have to win the NBA?

I bought a pair of shoes for my 15 year old daughter for gym class. They are basketball styled shoes, so they have the flat bottems. Is it a bad thing for her to wear these during gym class seeing as how they will be playing other sports then just basketball? I was thinking that since you run, jump and move from side to side in basketball, these shoes must be able to handle other sports too. Am i wrong?

Im basically a speed player but right now i have low top basketball shoes and i always get some sort of ankle injury during the games. I need to know what specific high top basketball shoes i should get.
what do you guys recommend?

I believe is like a heavy metal beat or something

what’s the chance?

If there was a possibility, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles without bringing the Lakers name with them back in 1961 (pretty much what happened to the Sonics/Thunder), what name would you give them?

I, myself would had picked the Los Angeles Shockwave, for the number of earthquakes we get in Los Angeles.

Try to be positive, plz…

I know he look like a bad guy over the summer for demanding that trade but now the management got him a great player in Pau Gasol and everyone are happy now in Lakers land. Is it right for Kobe to asked management to make some move to help the Lakers win again and cause all kind of public embarssment? Is Kobe still view by the public as a bad guy over the summer incident of the trade saga?

Let the debates begin!
