Not looking forward to the Bulls game (thanks for making it on the second night of a back to back, nba!), but I think Noah is out with injuries.

This guy won titles as a player in the NBA, as a coach ABL, ABA and NBA and was key in setting up Showtime in LA. '71 Lakers were one of the best teams ever.

Randolph came into the league very young and immature, he was worth waiting for.

Loved his versatility.

Shaq, after the media session, took some one-on-one questions, meeting with small groups of the media, and in that time had nothing but praise for Nets All-Star center Brook Lopez, who he referred to as the best big man in the NBA.

He listed his Top 5 bigs, in order, as Lopez, Roy Hibbert, Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan, noting that he likes more traditional bigs and not necessarily power forwards playing the center position.

On the criticism that Lopez isn't a very good rebounder, Shaq said, "I didn't rebound well, and nobody gave a fu*k... Reggie Evans, let that motherfu*ker rebound." To Shaq's point, he added that having a rebounding power forward like Evans and, this year, Kevin Garnett, allows Lopez to be a truly dominant scorer. He did note that Leopz should be pulling down 8-10 boards per game, but he didn't think the rebound criticism was any reason not to put Lopez as the best big in the NBA.

Finally, on Prokhorov, I asked Shaq if he thought the kind of spending he did this summer was good for the game and he said, first and foremost, Mr. Prokhorov is a businessman. "He's done a great job...In the business world, those who put a lot usually get the return on their investment in a short period of time," Shaq said, comparing this situation with what Mark Cuban did with the Mavericks, Mickey Arison with the Heat, the Yankees, the Cowboys -- though, "it's not working for them now, with fu*king [Tony] Romo."

"When you look at that starting five," he said of the Nets," I was thinking about that the other day -- Deron Williams, Joe [Johnson], Paul [Pierce], Garnett, Lopez -- holy sh*t, that's nice."

As for the other prognosticators, the general consensus seems to have the Nets as the 7th best team in the NBA, according to preseason power rankings, though Marc Spears of Yahoo has the Nets at No. 11 on his list, which is mostly do to "uncertainly" -- both coaching, ego and health-wise.

ANOTHER YEAR,

SO GOOD TO BE ALIVE

Early test. Bulls are strong!!!

Deng is very underratted (except his contract!)

If DRose learned he can lean on his guys more (they did well witout him) that can make him even more dangerous!

Is NOah playing? That planter foot thing is a bytch!

I'm looking forward to this game. I think Noah's plantar foot thing has gone now, think his current issue is some sort of groin injury. Anyways, most recent articles say he and PG Hinrich are playing.

Look at the impressive flop on this, even worse than JR vs Jason Terry!:

That is the most satisfying gif I've seen in a damn long time.

I don't think anything can beat this. The very rare...double flop. Very hard to execute.

Ha ha, that one is my favorite because it heralds the birth of a new olympic sport: synchronized flopping!

About this double flop by opposing players? Great ESP between them.

The master and the apprentice:

these gifs are really good
