Walk with me coli....vibe with me.....

Born in 1987, raised in Brooklyn, basketball was first and foremost. I was a fat lil fukk back in the day, but tall, so basketball worked for a dude. I grew up on the Knicks first and foremost. My father got to see the glory years in the 70's and I was growin up into what seemed to be the next golden era with Pat runnin the show. Starks was my favorite player no question, fiery type dude, mad heart, I'd gun with him in Live 95. Movin along....

I got into other sports as time went on...got into the Mets since my school was giving away free tickets. Got into the Jets after playing Madden. Adrian Murrell was my dude, that salute in the endzone was my shyt.

Fast forward a few years and it seemed like shyt was comin together. Wayne Chrebet and Curtis Martin had my Jets lookin good, Piazza made the Mets legit and my Knicks were still good for a 50 win season. It was all comin together. A child seein his teams win a championship would surely be :ohlawd: the thought of a parade....:ohlawd:

Bum ass Vinny Testaverde...Glen Foley drama.....
Subway Series...lauce
Pat Ewing going down again...and again...and again....fukk you Andrew Lang
Those twin towers comin through to crush the Garden....
Pat Ewing being traded for Luc Longley my nikka...Luc Longley....

Fast forward a few years.....

Clarence Weatherspoon, Othella Harrington, Shandon Anderson and Howard Eisely are on my fukkin team....
Reyes and Wright seem to be the future...but aren't....
Doug Brien.....
Steph Marbury's vaseline eatin ass.....
Eddy Curry.....

Fast forward now....I'm grown, more stable...grounded...livin with the lady, good job, good money....sports life still unsatisfactory....

Mets still trash....
Mark Sanchez....

But a small glimmer of hope...my Knicks...they finally appear to be back to form...and without the childlike hope and entitlement I can enjoy the team with more perspective and understanding of the game...but expect to at least see a team that competes....

And then the Nets come in.

The same Nets I watched smack us around with Jason Kidd and his Fathead kid run our team off the court with Frank Williams runnin the show......come to my fukkin borough, blocks from where I grew up....come in....and make this c*ntin ass trade....

All these Knick fans....all of the #tape can say it don't mean shyt...they old, got no future...but 2015 and 2016 is years away and many moments of that ass gettin dug out at Barclays can be had in the interim....I'm an honest dude and all this false bravado just ain't me (don't ask me how :wow:) them Net boys are gonna bust our ass this year and I'm fukkin TIGHT cuz there aint shyt we can do about it.

We're worried about keepin bum ass, chokin ass fukkin JR, a 40 year old sophomore and Britney Griner's little sister and her Dora the Explorer book bag. This is where we are. Relying on Marcus Camby's brittle feet for size, bringin in the seed of the nikka that killed us multiple times in our history, redefining the term being sonned....

I hate being a fan of this city's sports teams...life would've been so :ohlawd: growin up a Yankee and Giants fan...and having never watched basketball.....

Walk with me coli...take off your cool...be honest with yourself.....let that shyt out....this ain't a panic thread just a real thread.....

I'm a Saints and Pelicans fan

Grew up with church goin' aunties fussin' and yellin' at the TV er' Sunday

Had to watch us go from a developing Chris Paul :yes: to day 08' season :ohmy: to overpayin' 1 one dimensional players to 50 point lauces in the offs to Chris blowing his knee out to almost being sold, again, and shipped out...Mind you, growing up, all I wanted was a b-ball team in New Orleans...to basketball reasons to maxing out a dude that's tryna bounce

Sports drama makes men outta boys

It really makes you evaluate what's important, in life

Bandwagon'rs got it easy

I've been a fan of Alabama since birth. I had to go through the dark ages of Alabama. Through coach Mike Dubose (who did win us a SEC Title), Dennis Franchione, and Mike Shula.

Alabama went through a bad phase beginning in 2000. Started out #3 , went out to Pasadena and lost to UCLA. Starting at trend of losing to teams we weren't supposed to lose to. Like UCF, Southern Miss, Northern Illinois, Hawaii, and ULM. In 2000 we went 3-8, 2001 7-5, 2002 10-3, 2003 4-9, 2004 6-6, 2005 10-2, 2006 6-7, and 2007 7-6.

Losing to Auburn 6 straight years till 2008 when we whooped that ass 36-0, I was like :ohlawd:. We got that monkey off our back, and Bama was back. Going back to the Shula years, it wasn't so much Shula but the injury bug killed us. Brodie Croyle got hurt in 2003 and in 2004 and we had some uninspired half-assed play from the backup QB. And then this guy got hurt :to: ......[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2ikUyrOhkg"]Amazing Football Catch by Alabama's Tyrone Prothro - YouTube[/ame]

I love how it slowly sunk in how much the Celtics are going to suck and Bill was like " is there a bar in this place ?" He threw shots at Doc too saying he quit on the team. It was entertaining watching him get salty as fukk.
