^ so basically you pretty much sympathize w/the players in this case... interesting, interesting

I cant in good conscious "sympathize" with someone making 6 milly as opposed to the 8-10 milly he/she (Bitty!) demands, but I know that the NBA is just an exaggerated version of any employee-employer relationship. Cats at the lower end of the totem poll always take the hit before the cats at the top.

so you're also a cat lover... interesting, interesting

Lol...I'm kinda nervous where you're going with this. So far I am an anti-white militant, sexist, unfunny bastard with nice tits?

who loves cats... don't forget that part.

Your name came up when I met Marv. You need to come out to Diego one time.

Considering cats. Hell yeah I'm a cat, um, cat. Dogs get up in your face always licking and scratching...all needy and shyt. Leave out a bowl and some water and cats are good. They might come up to you every now and then when THEY feel like it. Cats are the true G's of domesticated house pets and thats fact.

Do millionaires feel sorry for me? Most of the time the answer is no, so that is my answer.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

haha.. yea man I heard you guys had a good time. Marv has experienced my full spectrum. One week I meet him at a blues joint with Dana, 26, screaming hot brunette. Next time I'm crashing at Andrea's pad on the upper east side. She's like 50, 5'1 and about a buck sixty. I woke up in my boxers with her jack russel sniffing my ass. She catches me putting on my jeans and says where you going? I told her I had a superbowl party and bolted (it was 8am in Dec). Best part is I miss em both.

What were we talking about?

Christmas party at Marv's girlfriends. What a great time. Its Marv and an apartment full of eclectic NYers (most of Marvs friends like him are all in their 50s). In stroll 3 total degenerates. Fish, DJ and Jimi. Jimi is sporting a soft velvety red sweater which I find myself stroking every now and then. DJ... who knows what he wore. I eventually ended up in my wife beater. Before that there were earth tones... lots of earth tones.

Anyway the fun started when we got the accordion player totally lit on the roof. She was jealous of our knick names and dubbed herself "squeeze-box." Not sure if it was after the accordion or something else.

At least every guess asked one of us how we know "Richard."
The responses were always interesting... like "who's Richard?"
and
"You mean Marv? We know him from the internet."

Two nice fellas who were queerer than a 3 dollar bill sang a Christmas tune while playing the little uke. One was singing too me quite lovingly. At this point I am thinking stripping down the wifebeater was going to backfire as this wasnt the kind of attention I was probably looking for.

Jimi has a line forming outside of one of the bedrooms where its obvious sharing something really fun with Mar... er... Richard's guests. I'm guessing it was those yummy mints you get at Chinese restaurants

DJ is laughing at me being stalked by gay men and one slightly overweight Jewish woman who was suggesting we should have a "playdate."

Eventually I found an oasis of safety and tended bar for an hour or so. I hijacked the sound system and danced with some lass (much to someone's chagrin) to Led Zeppelin.

Not really sure how the night ended but there was no itching or burning later that week so I am guessing it was pretty innocent.

If the NBA ever got a salary structure like the NFL where players had to earn it every year then they'd put a much better product on the court.

You wouldn't have BS players like Big Game James milking the system and making fans resent their teams.

Sadly, the Players Union would likely fight having an NFL-esque salary structure tooth and nail.

the NFL doesnt work. Players quit on their team so they get cut and can go elsewhere. Meanwhile good players get cut because there is a hard cap. Dont football fans get tired of 30% of their team turning over every year? I dont see how the NFL system really works much better. Its just different.
