when wade's contract will expire with heat?

2010, but he told riley that he could resign for max this off season! also 2010 expires JO with his $23 mln, and a lot of other players, so Heat will have off the books except 5 players!

yeah i guess i look for different things in players. The more high flying they are, usually the less i like them. Maybe this comes from cheapness in video games, or maybe it comes from me myself not being able to jump so when i think of "good" fundamental basketball i dont think of that. He's a great player with some great hops...i just personally am not a fan i guess. My friends werent good enough to show me 6 minutes of highlights, they'd show me the one dunk for the 7 foot guy. and i was kinda like :shrug:

is greg oden officially a bust now?

Some might say that but I think he's got to be given a chance in a season when he hasn't been injured. So far it seems more like a string of bad luck, his numbers are actually quite good for someone playing less than half the game on average. With all the chances Kwame and Darko had to avoid/shake that label I think Oden deserves more time.

And if Oden turns out to be just an above average or average Center, are blazers capable of being a dynasty like it is predicted to be

Suggestion: Start a thread asking that.

Is there anyone still in the NBA that played with short shorts, either in the NBA or in College?

(doesn't include the Laker's retros when they played the Celtics in LA last year)

Did any NBA player ever recorded a quadruple double?

Yes, four: Nate Thurmond, Alvin Robertson, Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson.

When will Mutombo retire?

When he has so much arthritis in his finger that he can't wave it at players anymore.

In all seriousness, my guess would be that this is his final year but then I thought the same thing last year too, especially when he remained unsigned by opening night.

what if the top teams ended the regular season with the same record and same number of wins against each other? who will get the homecourt advantage?

They are multiple tiebreaker rules to account for that, which are as follows:

1. Head-to-head
2. Division record (if the teams are in the same division)
3. Conference record
4. Record vs. Playoff teams, own conference
5. Record vs. Playoff teams, other conference
6. Net points, all games

Pretty sure they're the same, with the limit of two in the final two minutes still enforced.

why bulls players cant wear head bands?

Because the team enforces a rule against wearing them.
