They say that Larry Hughes has a 25% chance of playing.\n\nThe Cavs can't do anything in the playoffs without him.

Will they play this time? I mean all aged up and wrinkled? Jordan and Dirk will win if it that so. AI maybe be fast and all but his jumpshots are not really reliable unlikke Dirk's and MJ's...Jerry West is too old now and can't even play, I think. If they'll play in their prime, once again jordan and nowitzki will win because jordan will dunk over ai and west at the same time. If MJ can't slash to the basket, he'll kick it out to Dirk for the 3. im sure the results will be the same.

The 72 Lakers finished 69-13 and won an all-time professional sports record of 33 games in a row.\n\nThe '67 Philadelphia 76ers were 68-13 and won the title, while incidentally crushing the EIGHT-TIME DEFENDING champion Boston Celtics in a five game blowout in the Eastern Conference finals.\n\nThose are probably the two best teams ever, as the league had not been watered down with a bunch of expansion teams and the league was also not littered with high school players.  Only men needed apply for NBA roster spots in those days.\n\nWilt Chamberlain was the center on both of these teams, he always said that the 76er team was the better of the two... he said the Lakers were lucky in a lot of ways and things just fell into place for them...  but that Laker team faced everyone in the playoffs that they did NOT want to play (i.e. the defending champion Bucks with MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the Knicks in the finals), and still won the title easily.\n\nEither of these teams would destory the 96 Bulls, as the Bulls would have had no way of matching up with those teams.\n\nBut I did love watching those Bulls teams! A lot of my friend who are Bulls fans were worried when they picked up Rodman, but I told them that MJ and Scottie wouldn't let Rodman become the destructive force he'd been on other teams... but even I had no idea that they'd win the title that easily.\n\nStill, for one year, I'd go with the 76er team with Wilt at Center. The '86 Celtics were also a great, great team, and would also have destroyed the 96 Bulls.  The 87 Lakers were also superior to any of the Bulls championship teams.\n\nHeck, the '73 Knicks were better than the Bulls teams as well, as were the 74 and 76 Celtics.  Dave Cowens did incredible work against both Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar....think he'd have any trouble going against Bill Cartwright or Luc Longley??     \n\nPippen would be worn out by halftime chasing John Havlicek around the court... \n\nLet's see, Bill Cartwright, or Willis Reed?  Hmmmm.... tough one there...\n\nAnd man, it would just be too funny watching Steve Kerr try to guard Earl Monroe!!!

I'd love to see it happen. Be a knock-down drag-out all the way. Already was the best game of the year, why not go for 2? The game Saturday surprised me because I didn't think the score would be anywhere near that high.\n    Go Bucks.

Online Exhibit      Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game — March 2, 1962 at Hershey, PA  \n   \n\n  Introduction\n\nThe Game\n\nChamberlain bio\n\nThe Boxscore\n\nQuotebook\n\nWho's Joe Ruklick?\n\nChamberlain stats \n\nWarriors in the Hall\n\nWilt's Hall Call\n\nHall of Fame website  \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n \n Warriors \nvs. Knicks\nMar. 2, 1962\n \n  \n\nOn March 2, 1962, the weather was cold and slushy — a stay-at-home winter Friday night. Neither the Philadelphia Warriors or the New York Knicks were especially thrilled with a bus ride to Hershey, PA for a meaningless NBA game. The season was almost over, and the outcome would have no effect on the standings. \n\nThat night, however, Wilton Norman Chamberlain would score 100 points, a record that celebrates its 40th anniversary this month, and one that hasn't been touched. The reason? Chamberlain also owns the second and third highest scoring marks in league history at 78 and 73 points twice. David Thompson also scored 78 points in the 1978 scoring race against George Gervin. \n\nFrom the opening tap, the Warriors assumed command over the last place and outmanned Knicks. Philadelphia piled up a 42-26 advantage by the end of the first period. Chamberlai, who was in his third NBA season, scored 23 of his teams 42 points. New York's regular center, 6-foot-10 Phil Jordon, was sidelined due to injury, and his replacement, Darrall Imhoff, had a difficult time guarding Chamberlain and eventually fouled out. He was one of five New York players to foul out. (see boxscore)\n\nBy halftime, many of Chamberlain's teammates knew something special was in the air (23 first quarter points, 18 second quarter points). They kept feeding him for an assortment of thunderous dunks, finger rolls, a few jumpers and his favorite shot, the one-handed bank shot off the glass.\n\nDuring the third quarter, Chamberlain made 10 baskets and a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line. At the start of the fourth quarter he popped in three quick baskets to reach 75 points. Fans in the arena began a constant chant, "Give it to Wilt! Give it to Wilt."\n\nWith five minutes remaining, Chamberlain had 89 points. He scored five points quickly; points 93 and 94 on a 12-foot bank shot. Points 95 and 96 came on a lob pass from Rodgers. Points 97 and 98 came on an easy layup feed from York Larese. Nearing the century mark, Chamberlain stole New York's inbound pass but his shot went in and spun out. The chaotic last minute went like this:\n\nChamberlain missed a shot. \nTeammate Ted Luckenbill rebounded and fed Chamberlain who missed again. \nLuckenbill grabbed the rebound again and passed to Joe Rutlick. \nRutlick fed Chamberlain underneath the basket. \nChamberlain dunked home points 99 and 100. \nGame Not Over!\nThe 100 point night never ended officially. The final 46 seconds weren't played, because as soon as Chamberlain scored 100, fans stormed the court and no one had interest in continuing. Joe Rutlick claims that the game did end officially and that he missed two free throws during the last 46 seconds, and the boxscore confirms Rutlick's statement. \n\n"It would have been impossible to score this many points if my teammates hadn't kept feeding me, especially Guy," Chamberlain said after the game. \n\nFinal: Philadelphia 169 — New York 147\n\n"A lot of people asked me if it was pre-planned," Chamberlain said. "No, it wasn't. We didn't have a team meeting or anything to purposely go out and doing something like this. It just happened as the game progressed."\n  Campbell's Call \nThe radio by-by-play was done that night by Bill Campbell, a veteran broadcaster. Twenty-five years after the game Campbell told the Philadelphia Daily News, "This might sound strange, but I never had that game in my list of top personal memories. In all honesty, I was more excited the night I did the game when Joe Fulks scored 63. He was

Harold Miner is in las Vegas doing well with his stunt in the NBA. He never tried to play overseas or play in the ABA or any other league because his contract with Nike didn't allow to do so until either last year or this year. Word is he is free now and playing ball here and there. He still got his hops. He got a tight crib out in Nevada, you can go to the clerk of courts website and it gives you an overview of his crib. Looks like a mansion, I see a huge pool and a full size court. don't count Harold out, he's not stupid. Just alot of pressure on a basketball player from Inglewood. maybe he might surprise us

Da Franchise used to be my favorite balla. He erupted into the limelight when he went to Maryland after San Jacinto College. Continued his superstar ascendance with the Rockets and then got traded to my team the Magic. But thats when it all went into a freefall, right now he looks like he lost all his passion and he isnt playing like he used to. I wanted him to get back on top but he isnt going to be on top again with his growing ego and attitude. Its a shame and a waste of talent. Francis is a wash now.\n\nedit: Hey Michellee, dont worry about the magic. They are not suffering. Trading away francis was the best thing to ever happen to them. They made the best trades of any team this past midseason when they dumped francis' bloated contract for trevor ariza, and topped that off by trading kelvin cato's 8 mil per season for darko milicic and carlos arroyo, which is already arguably the worst trade in nba history for the pistons. Grant Hills 15 mil is also about to come off the books after this season so that magic will have the most cap room of any team in the summer of 07 (20-30 mil). Theyve already resigned jameer nelson who has been a better starter at PG than francis, and they resigned Dwight Howard, Tony Battie, and working on extending Darko. They also have the eleventh pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Heres the crazy reality of it all. \n\nyou have a young talented team with in my opinion the best PG depth in Nelson, Arroyo and Dooling.\n\nShooting guard is the weakest position with deshawn stevenson, but he still isnt that bad. He has good defense and at times he provides offense. The magic will probably use their top pick for a SG and im praying for Brandon Roy, who is an assasin, deadly shooter in the mole of Gilbert Arenas.\n\nHedu Turkaglu is still an underrated player. When he starts he is a machine, plain and simple. He was their leading scorer for the last several months of the season. Trevor Ariza is capable of becoming a good bench player because he is very energetic. He has a knack for rebounding and he could develop into a Tayshaun Prince type of player. Hence, you have to like how they look at small forward for next season. However, you have to take into consideration all that money the magic have to spend after next year, when the likes of carmelo anthony and vince carter are free agents. There is one other player that could be a free agent if cleveland does not give him an extension, and yes that player is lebron james. I've heard rumors that the Magic are set themselves up to sign him so if he is not on the cavaliers in 2008, he will be a magic.\n\nDwight Howard at PF. Enough Said.\n\nDarko Milicic at C, forming the 7 foot 20 yr old twin towers is deadly. They compliment each other formidably. \n\nThis team has the best future and chance to be the greatest team ever, if king james does become a magic, can you say dynasty? yes.

It's true that the 76ers are thinking of trading him and Chris Webber during this off-season. I'm not sure about what teams are interested in them. But the team is about 90% sure that Chris Webber And Allen Iverson will get traded.

this is a news click i got off of NBA.com\nThe Big O Knows\n\nHoop Magazine - April Issue \n\nBy Rick Barry \n\nOscar Robertson has always been one of my favorite players. When I came into the NBA in 1965, he was already a well-established star. I loved his style of play and admired his fierce competitiveness. A few years ago at a retired players event, Oscar asked me if I had seen the “kid” from Marquette University perform his skills on the basketball court. I told him I hadn’t. He went on to rave about this young talent and went so far as to predict greatness for him in the NBA. Well, when the only man ever to average a triple-double for an entire NBA season tells me to check out a player, I am going to do it. \nThe young man was Dwyane Wade, and after watching him play, I immediately saw why The Big O was so complimentary. Wade was definitely something special and I made it a point to keep tabs on him the rest of his senior year. I have followed him even more closely since he joined the NBA and, as Oscar predicted, Wade has distinguished himself as one of the premier players in the League.\n\n \nWade has been blessed with phenomenal athletic ability. Not only is he quick, he is fast and can jump out of the gym. His dunks are spectacular, but he can pull up for the midrange jumper with equal deftness. He has a great instinct for the game, is a relentless competitor and exudes confidence. I love his business-like attitude with no show boating or trash-talking.  \n\nHe is truly Michael Jordanesque both on and off the court. He has an infectious smile, good looks and plenty of charisma. Wade is also like the young MJ when it comes to three-point shooting—he isn’t very good. He also has room for improvement on defense. However, Wade is a far superior midrange shooter than Jordan was at this stage of his career. And remember, Michael got better in both areas as his career progressed.\n\nIf the Miami Heat are ever going to win an NBA championship, the man most responsible will be Wade. Just go back to last season’s Eastern Conference Finals where the Heat pushed the defending champion Pistons to a Game 7. There is no doubt in my mind that had Wade not injured his rib in Game 5, causing him to miss Game 6, won by Detroit in a rout, the Heat would have faced the Spurs in the Finals. Even in the deciding Game 7, Wade was not himself and Miami was still leading by six with only six and a half minutes to play. A healthy Wade could easily have been the difference in the game. \n\nEven Shaquille O’Neal realizes just how important Dwyane Wade is to the Miami Heat. The Diesel has tabbed Dwyane with the fitting nickname, “Flash.” And both Oscar and I agree that this is one Flash who will definitely not wind up in the pan.

ok, i got larry hughes too. luckily his injury isn't due to his injury that put him out last year. DO NOT pick up jason williams, there are better guards out there .... trust me. TRUST ME. and kirilenko is injury pron, and that's never good for a fantasty league. for example... i have player like Dirk , Yao, and Billups, who get monster minutes and never get hurt.  but i also took a chance with baron davis, and he's doing great. one of the best in the league. if you can keep hughes, do that. he WILL be lebron's scottie pippen. hughes can score any way he can, he lead the league in steals before he got injured last year, and he rebounds.

Jordan with any of the second teir stars is the best.  He is the one player who could not be stopped in the clutch.  His defense was simply awesome and his leadership equal to Larry and Magic.

Maybe, maybe not...I just think Lebron has more to ijmprove on like his jump shot.for me it's still not perfect. You can't slash to the basket everytime so you got to have versatility in your game. Well for me Lebron will not put the same number in the era of Jordan. A lot of players that played that era have retired when Lebron came into the picture. He will be left out iof that happened...Not even enter the playoffs

McGrady hasn't even been in the 2nd round of the playoffs since playing with Vince Carter.  And he has Yao backing him up.  If he's healthy, he's ONE of the best.  And he doesn't play defense all the time.\n\n"If Tracy doesn't learn to play all out all the time within the next two years, then it'll be too late. Nothing gets unfixable as quickly as bad habits."\n\nHorace Grant, his former teammate on the Magic, says that he regularly takes plays off.  That's unlike Kobe or Jordan or Shawn Marion who play all-out every second they are on the floor.
