Fact Or Fiction? NLSC style........

*edit* @qballer: I thougt that Francis got all votes from china since he was with the rockets.

Fact or Fiction, the Sixers will make the Conference Finals

Fiction. will they reach playoff???

just wondering in coming all-star will lue get the starting PG coz he's yao teammate (i answer my question kobe and t-mac will be the starting backcourt next all star wow what a combination)

though here my fact or fiction. since all-star will be held in denver, they say kobe will not participate in this all-star.

Fiction. Kobe will play int his all star game. The only two ways he won't play, is. If this year, he really sucks, ( which will never happen) or he gets convicted, but that might not happen neither. I mean yeah, they'll boo him and i mean boo if he's innocent, but Kobe can still play. He had to face it twice last season. Kobe's a strong man.

Fact or Fiction: If found not guilty Kobe Bryant will be the only one to be called the Next Mike or he will be the Next Mike.

Fiction: 4 words...HE WONT BE MIKE

Fact or Fiction: Gary Payton will have a breakout season with the Celtics and score 18 ppg and 9 apg

That is a...


FACT!



He'll average around those numbers. Last year in LA, he was able to average 14 points off of Kobe and Shaq's leftovers. I have no doubt of what he's capable of on the offensive end. As long as Rivers gives him the opportunities to use his post skills and penetrate the defense, it'll be fine. Read Bill Simmon's Page 2 article. Payton's gonna come back with vengeance. He's been striving to get in the best shape of his life his summer, ready to prove the world wrong.


Fact or Fiction: The United States will win the Gold Medal in this year's Olympics.

If that's already been done...

Gary Payton will be a great mentor to the Celtics's young guards -- Banks, West, and Allen.



(Choose which one you want to do)

Fiction. Payton will not even suit up for the Celtics.

Cleveland will be the 4th seeded team in the Eastern Conference. Fact or Fiction.

FICTION FICTION FICTION-I can't believe that was even mentioned that they would get the 4th seed

Fact or Fiction: Jamal Mashburn will leave the Hornets before the trade deadline

Fact
I don't like him so I hope he does.

Fact Or Fiction. Lakers will win more titles than Boston will. Or they will surpass them.

Fiction. Atleast not at the rate they're going right now.

Fact or Fiction: J-Kidd will turn out to be an ok player after the knee surgery he's had. Not as good as he was.

Fiction: He was an ok player last year because he averaged 15 ppg and 9 apg last year so those aren't eye-popping stats. I expect for him to produce the same.

Fact or Fiction:Pau Gasol will make the all-star team this year

Fiction. There are still too many forwards out in the west. Duncan, Garnett, Brand, Stojakavic...

Fact or Fiction: Vin Baker will be a solid player for NY this year (no off court problems like in Boston/Seattle)

Fact or Fiction: Vin Baker will be a solid player for NY this year (no off court problems like in Boston/Seattle)

Fiction. I think Vincent is way too shaky much like any addict. Before every season, he says the right things and then starts playing Johnnie Walker One on One. He loses every time!

Fact or Fiction: Allen Iverson was a poor choice for captain of team USA.

Fiction
He's the most mentally tough bball player in the world (probably) and he's got a lot of experience with Coach brown. I think he's co-captain with Duncan (?). It had to be AI, Duncan or whoever was the 3rd holdover from the qualifying team. It had to be a vocal guy.

Fact or Fiction: C Anthony will be cut from the 9 man rotation that LB plans (apparently Brown will have a 9 man rotation and 8 spots have been settled and it's between Lebron and Carmelo.....the eight are the starters + Wade, Marion, Boozer)

Fact, perimeter defense has been bad and though LeBron isn't the best defender in the world, Melo is worse.

Fact or fiction: Shawn Marion is the ultimate role player.

To me that's a fact. To others however...

Fact, perimeter defense has been bad and though LeBron isn't the best defender in the world, Melo is worse.

Fact or fiction: Shawn Marion is the ultimate role player.

Fiction. Why? Coz it was Fiction.

So Fact or Fiction. Wade and Shaq will have an issue about who will shoot and who must be the first option on offense?

fiction, wade is young and has to accept this once in a life experience with shaq.

fact or fiction- baron davis will have more ppg than steve francis

Fiction, Jamal Magloire got better and better and he needs his touches which mean less shots for Baron Davis and more inside game, steve Francis will probably have a better statistic year in points then he had when Yao played with him.

Fact or Fiction (dunno if this one has been named already, just tell me if it has but) Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady can get as many or even more championships then Kobe and Shaq had?

That is a...

FACT!

Emphasis on can. If they build a strong support group around them, then I have no doubt that they "can" do so. They need a better PG though.



Fact or Fiction: The United States will medal in this year's Olympics.

^^^^Fact: They will medal, but what color is anyways guess

Fact or Fiction: Given international competitions accelerating players developments will Carlos Arroyo become an elite player?

Fiction... He'll never be above average on the NBA.

Fact or fiction... KG will repeat as MVP.

Fiction... He'll never be above average on the NBA.

Fact or fiction... KG will repeat as MVP.

Fiction. It'll be Kobe Bean Bryant. Though admittedly I'm a bit biased here.

Fact or Fiction: Brent and John Barry would've been better additions to team USA than 'Bron and 'Melo.

Fiction. They're white.

Fact or Fiction? Danny Ainge isn't the worse gm in the league anymore.

Fact. Mitch Kupchack or whatever has taken that position. Who trades all of your players except for one, whose season is in trouble. so Boston's Danny AInge, don't feel bad anymore, you're number 2.

Fact or Fiction: KG and Kobe will tie up for co-MVP.
