anyone watch NBA fact/fiction on sportscenter tonight? anthony of course said "FICTION" when asked if he thought the spurs would repeat...this of course is the same guy who picked the heat to beat the pistons and the suns to beat the spurs in the playoffs last yr...guys always been a spurs hater, prolly cause he never won a title... anyway, i see us winning atleast 65 games this yr...depending of course on timmy, since we would have won 65 plus last yr if he hadnt sprained his ankle in detroit.... mark it here, san antonio WILL win BACK to BACK titles and solidify its "dynasty" claim in the post-jordan era and show that they have been the best team overall since MJ left... peace out      |

Anthony wasn't $hit at UNLV, he wasn't $hit in the NBA ( on Lord knows how many teams), and he still ain't $hit, looking like a sun-burned Mini Me .....

He was on the floor looking stupid and dumb as Shawn hit the Memorial Day Miracle shot... it's been on the cover of a few mags and he likley just cannot stand the fact that he's as a loser.

I think him picking the Lakers to win the Pacific Division is worse.

At this point it's almost refreshing to see somebody NOT pick the Spurs. As has been discussed in other threads, I'm uneasy about the Spurs' status as far-and-away frontrunners. I'm glad they have such a talented and deep squad, but anything to take the target off of their backs is good by me.

OK back to the topic, I really like having someone I can hate on....I'm not going to lie. ...and Greg Anthony is PERFECT for me to hate. It's not so much that I think everyone should pick the Spurs, as much as it is this guys history for ALWAYS no matter how favored they are, picking against the Spurs. |

Greg simply hates the spurs because he is one of those people who believe that you must be born with GREATNESS like Shaq, MJ but doesn't believe that GREATNESS can be created through hard work and determination ala Duncan. |

sometimes i wonder if these analysts just come up with these picks so as to keep the fire burning. it really seems to me that the fact or fiction segment is set up to be kind of controversial. one guy says fact, the other says fiction. and with ESPN carrying so much hoop now, it is in their interest to spark a little debate. as for greg anthony, put him in the same group as woody page and consider all their picks sure money makers-that is if you bet the exact opposite of those picks.

 "Who cares if he's actually right or wrong as long as he pimps the Pacers"? Is that how it works.  Most sports writers make their personal favorites or dislikes obvious in their writing or on-air commentary - although few sports personalities are as blatant as Anthony and Stephen A Smith. Who can forget his tirade against Glenn Robinson during the NBA Finals last season? While Robinson mourned his mother, Smith lambasted him on-air, still hating Big Dog from their past relationship in Philladelphia. Smith later apologized with the egg still visible on his face. Anthony and Smith are among the most unprofessional announcers and analysts because they cannot separate relationships from their work. |

The irritating thing about people like GA is that they are supposedly unbiased analysts for the entire NBA. It is pathetically unprofessional when they can't at least put on a veneer of lack of bias - they should just switch over to writing team reports for their favorite team(s) and stop pretending they are something everyone knows they are not. Or better yet, maybe their bosses could come to this realization? Naw, because incendiary journalism sells. As to saying since every other analyst is on our jock it is okay for GA to say something like this, where is the logic in that argument? If the Spurs are so obviously the best that everyone knows it, then it just makes articles like this look even more idiotic than normal.  Ahhhhh. That felt better. Theman21 is right, really is nice to have someone to hate on. I think I was going through withdrawals.

I don't think it's so much that he's anti-Spur, but that he's very biased towards American NBA players. The Spurs top 3 includes 2 Euroleague players (ginobili and parker) and Duncan, who's not really considered an American player, even though he's a US citizen. The Heat have all home-grown stars: Shaq, Wade, Walker, Williams, Posey, Haslem, etc. Greg Anthony doesn't understand that there's a new world order. He's like the American auto companies in the 70s who thought Japanese cars were not as good as theirs. They got a big old wake-up call... and so have the "old school" NBA teams and coaches and general managers. (I'm thinking of people like Pat Riley, Isiah Thomas, Larry Brown, and Phil Jackson... all of whom seem to completely turn their backs on non-American players.) |

| www.saic.com Not only is it a fine company based in San Diego, it's also short for a condition that sometimes afflicts Spurs Fans worldwide. I only get irked when it's done on Television. In Print Media...I don't get that ticked off.

I think the Spurs are pretty good this year, they might do ok for themselves  But I guess that we will have to wait and see....

Actually he is quoted as saying," If i were to pick fact there wouldnt be anything to talk about." I took that as he was just saying "fiction" just for conversation. He knows the Spurs will win.
