Kyle Lowry says ,"that's the sh*t Axel. 1k post is how we do in H-Town, all the haterz better recognize greatness in their faceness! thug life 4ever!"

sorry i couldn't find a bigger picture

good job

[Axel The Great]

Halfway to Thierryland... keep on truckin...

Yep. And in this case, Thierryland is a good thing.

Congrats on the 1k, bro.

Nice wins, but seriously, you have to admit that my scenario for the end of that game could've made everything a lot more interesting.

Thanks, z02. Yeah, could've been interesting, but very highly unlikely.

Great job Axel, creating a worl where Houston's on top.

Yeah, thanks for bringing me back to reality. It's been a fun time, and it's made me forget the mediocrity of the Rockets IRL.

Got threw your last association(HOF dynasty) as well. Awesome man, awesome

Wow, thanks man. Although then, my recaps were a bit too short and bland looking back, I just got through with pics and captions.

Another thread and another HOF Congrats on 1k.
Yo only 37 durability?

Thanks, Valdis! HOF is the goal here.

Congratulations Axel!!! Keep it going and I'm sure you're going to add another one in HOF soon!

Thanks, George! Here's to hoping.

sorry i couldn't find a bigger picture

good job

Thanks, KJ. Axel says: "We gon' keep hustlin' until this makes the HOF. Any haterz in da way will get dey azz beat!!!" Ah, the personality you've given Lowry.

So thanks for the kind words guys, Reserved post has been updated. Have a nice day!

That, and how true that was. Stern's trial was a bigger farce than OJ's. Just had to say it.
Congrats again.

Halfway to Thierryland... keep on truckin...

Yep. And in this case, Thierryland is a good thing.

I reached 2, not 4K That would be something incredible for me! Thanks a lot for the shoutout man, keep on going!

[Martti.]

NP with you winning. This is a great team and K-Mart is as efficient as they come.. Well done reaching 1K!

[George7]

I always support the rockets because in fact,I really like this team.
Thanks for the mention!

[Kenny]

Congrats on the milestone

You've become one of the best story writers on the board and being attributed to that is definitely an honour. You've conquered the glitch machine that is Live 10 and now it looks like you're doing the same with 2k11. I should really start an association myself, because My Player makes me want to break the game

As for my jumpshot, I think I have the tendency to put too much behind it... I guess I don't know my own strength sometimes

[|)e8*]

congrats man!

[KidJustin]

Ah, the personality you've given Lowry.

u have no idea what i have in store for mr. lowry

[Larvae]

Congratz on your terrific success with this and with you reaching a thousand replies.

[Houndy]

Hell yeah, a shoutout!

I call HoF unless you disappear in the next month.

[Stress Fracture]

You're really right. This is the only association story I follow.

I'm really surprised that Yao only has a rating of 37 in his durability. That's bullshit. JK

Well then, at least you're no Hondo. You're welcome for the mention, you were worthy of it.

Thanks, Kenny. I've still ran into a few glitches with 2K that I even had to start over and sim my way back to where I was earlier in the thread. As long as I don't run into any more game-breaking glitches, I think I'll be ok. An association from you would be nice, too.

And maybe you should get shooting lessons.

congrats man!

Thanks, man!

Ah, the personality you've given Lowry.

u have no idea what i have in store for mr. lowry

Looking forward to it, then.

Congratz on your terrific success with this and with you reaching a thousand replies.

Thanks, Larvae. It probably seems like a long ways away for you with your story, but you'll be there before you know it as long as you keep on going.

Hell yeah, a shoutout!

I call HoF unless you disappear in the next month.

The only way I disappear from here is if I die, or something causes me to lose my laptop/internet. *Knocks on wood.*

You're really right. This is the only association story I follow.

I'm really surprised that Yao only has a rating of 37 in his durability. That's bullshit. JK

Maybe start following more associations? I find it kinda nice the luck I've had so far with Yao, hope that keeps up until we win a championship or two.

Games 1 & 2 of the rest of the Conference Semis next, and then a surprising MIP player of the year award.

Mavs have two games at home. Pressure's on OKC to take one on the road too.

Iam a praying that my knicks can take this one!

Congrats on 1k too man

Thanks, mp3. Nice to see you back. I'm sure everyone would like to see the Heat get eliminated.

Axel., I hope so, Thanks btw...

Yep. Many upsets, and it looks like we're not done judging by how the Knicks, Mavs, and Magic are doing.

Sixth man award up next. Yes, I know I said MIP, but I promise that'll be up afterwards.

2011 NBA Sixth Man of the Year

Posted by Axel Gomez May 6, 2011 at 8:56 AM
The lowly Minnesota Timberwolves may not be lowly anymore. Last year, they drafted Wesley Johnson out of Syracuse with the fourth overall pick. Johnson came in and made an impact, contributing to a 33-49 season. That may not be a good record, you know, it being a losing one and all, but for Minnesota, they'll take it. That's an 18-win increase from 15-67 last season, and if things keep up for the T-Wolves, they may be able to become a playoff contender in the near future.

Johnson averaged 12.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 1.4 steals, and 1.3 blocks, shooting a decent 42% from the field. He has become the second player to win the award as a rookie, Ben Gordon being the first back in 2005. "We're very proud of what Wesley (Johnson) has done for the franchise this year. He was able to come in and give an excellent all-around contribution in just his first season. He's only going to get better, but winning this award is just the start for him," Wolves' GM David Kahn commented.

There were other worthy candidates for the award, with Tracy McGrady headlining the best of 'em. T-Mac averaged 13 points, 4.1 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals for Detroit this season, reviving what was thought to be a lost career. TJ Ford and Mehmet Okur had surprising sixth man seasons, helping their respective teams make the playoffs. Ford averaged 12.1 points and 4.6 assists for the Indiana Pacers, while Okur averaged 10.6 points and 7 rebounds for the Utah Jazz.

And Lamar Odom showed up as always on the sixth man candidates. The award continues to elude him, but he gave the Los Angeles Lakers 9.1 points and 8.4 rebounds. Maybe the Lakers' down season made voters a bit hesitant on picking him as the award winner.

"It's a nice way to get my career started. When I first came in I didn't think the team would improve by that much, but it's good to know that I'm on a franchise that has a bright future as long as the right moves are made," Wesley Johnson said. Sorry to bring you back down to Earth Wes, but you mentioned "as long as the right moves are made", those being the key words. With David Kahn as your General Manager, the right moves probably won't be made.

man. lamar odom = SNUB. i hate how he gets snubbed every year.

Posted by TMacAttack May 6, 2011 at 10:03 AM
You think Lamar's got it bad? It should've gone to my man T-Mac. At least he put up better all-around numbers than Wes.

Posted by The REAL K-Mart (Kenyon sucks!) May 6, 2011 at 10:07 AM
I love how at the end he bashes David Kahn and the Wolves. Comical stuff, but true.

[Stress Fracture]

I agree. T-Mac should have won the award.

That troll Kobe fan is getting into my nerve. If he comes here along with Kobe, I'll kill him.

[Bucket]

T-Mac's award... Johnson started 4 games, that games gave him advantage I like that Kobe fan.
