you missed the Chris Rock reference... one of his standups

yeah I did ... link?

It was one of first HBO standups. Long story short he said there are no black people in Minn, only black people in Minn are... (pause) Prince and Kirby Puckett. It was pretty highlarious (the whole hour, not just that joke)

ha!

reminds me of barkley saying that all the black people in phoenix were on his team.

Funny. I've been to Minny & seen African Americans - I guess Chris never went out much when he was there.

Towns is probably much better off playing for the Twolves than the Dolan owned Knicks. Last night was a win for Towns whether he knows it yet or not

Okafor is already lobbying his way out of the #1 pick, lmao

"I don't know that I should go No. 1," Okafor told SI Now. "I don't care. I just want to go to the right environment for me and the right team. I think the hype about No. 1 is more for the fans."

I disagree. I think Minnesota is one of the few franchises that makes NY look appealing. Nearly every good player has tried to force their way off that club. It's not just the city. It's the management as well.

No way the Wolves is passing on him unless
Lakers offer #2 and bunch of possibilities
Such as Clarkson pg

Lakers would probably prefer OK4.

My hope is that they actually prefer a starphuck with Melo, so we can get OK4 or Towns or Russell. Once Kobe retires, they are going to be a lower revenue team until they are relevant again. Clippers are ascendant in LA.

If Buss wants to recapture audience share (and media attention) Melo would get that done in spades, and would instantly make LA competitive in the West.

If NY is going rebuild, why would he want any part of that? Does Melo think Mudiay/Winslow + Monroe will get anything done for him? If so, he's delusional, at least until Mudiay becomes a star (i.e., 5 years or more).

He needs to force his way out.

Yeah, do a Kobe, and just say you won't play for them no matter what.

Time for Towns to be downloading some "A Prairie Home Companion" podcasts so he can understand the Minnesotan way of life.


I would expect that both Towns and OK4 will have some less than stellar workouts for Minny in an attempt to control their own draft fate.

Yea threaten to go play overseas. You gotta be a Kobe like DICK to pull it off though. I don't see Towns or Ok4 pulling that stunt. They don't have it in them
