I play paper basketball at work. It's the only reason I go there.
paper + trash can = paper basketball.

I have one of those shorter basketball nets thingies on my house ;)
Definitely want to play sometime soon, when it gets warm, but I also would rather go to a local school's court since on my street everyone can see me and laugh.

hows work cosmo?
- cosmo0

- akoni0
amen.
had a chance to mess with apollo?

kobe's a good player.
I just don't know one person who respects him since that whole rape situation.
- cosmo0
not yet, I do have an idea though. Apollo is nothing new though, cause there are application out there which already did the same thing.
But adobe is trying to integrate it as a product, which I think is fucking rad. I am sure everything will move towards apollo soon.

i respect kobe... and I don't think he raped the girl tbch.
second... Nash is more mvp - not because he's the point scorer he is (which... he isn't really... although he'll step up when necessary... which is MORE important)...
... but he directs and adjusts his team and forces the speed of his team - thus making him the all-around mvp 'team player' he is.
NASH.

nash is a team player, keeps the team going. He had like 20 assists in their last game.

I thought the title of the thread said "KOBE" on it.
nash is a good team player, and at least 1 of those MVPs he won he more than deserves. He does make his teamates better. However, as it has been argued, nash is only offensively oriented. Kobe is both. Kobe's position isn't a point gaurd, he is a shooting gaurd, and he does make his teamates better, not always by a pass, but simply by other players not wanting to let Kobe down in terms of helping. So they push a bit harder too.
Before the millions of injuries to the Lakers this year, the Lakers were in the top 4-5 in the league, However, 3 of the 5 Laker starters have all been out over 20 games each, and Kobe was left alone. It was tough, and Kobe's teamates are getting better.
For example, before he injured his ankle, Luke Walton was a candidate for MIP (Most Improved Player) of the Year.
Before he injured his knee, Lamar Odom was almost a lock to have an all star year.
Everyone wants to say the MVP should go to the player who is on the better team (ie. Dirk, Nash).
However, Kobe isn't playing with Josh Howard, and Jason Terry. Kobe isn't playing with Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion (All all-stars minus Terry).
Kobe is playing (finally) with Luke Walton, Lamar Odom, and a bunch of second hand parts.
I am not saying Nash and Dirk don't deserve recognition, but Kobe is the best player.
Just one more thing to add.
3 seconds left on the clock and you need a hoop, which of the 3 players would you want the ball in his hands?As many people have said, commentators, other NBA players and coaches have said, they would all pick Kobe.
What is funny too, is that everyone in the world knows who is going to take the last shot, and who the ball is going to. It just they still can't stop him.

best != mvp;
...unfortunately.. that's just the way it is. :)
didn't mean to hijack Kobe's glory w/Steve's...
... oh wait... YES WE DID! :D

and to cosmo..
Apollo is a pretty nice idea, integrated...
I was at that last Flex conference, and they were demonstrating how they were going to use Fireworks as a layout sort of program for Flex. Kind of like how you can export Photoshop to dreamweaver, but Fireworks will automatically generate the code for the designers, forms and everything.
Was pretty damn cool.
