I looked this up after hearing the props given by Nova's Scottie Reynolds. Ridiculous. I remember Ainge as a shooter, but clearly he had handles.

As a Suns fan, I say anytime John Paxson gets burned....GOOD!

And you said after Barkley's declaration that the Bulls cruised to the title lol... I didn't know winning a game by 1 point was considered cruising but whatever. Yet another example of why you are what we call a fanatic!!!

[alec tapia]

No i called you Spaz because of your obnoxious behavior and the lack of logic in your argument/statement and or understanding of the game of basketball...Barkley and the Suns lost because the Bulls had the better team and played better in 4/6 games in the finals not because of locker room material Barkley provided... Alright Spaz

@alec9tap - "Spaz," eh?? Name-calling is the ultimate sign that you have no legitimate defense to my claims. LOL!!! As for MJ and Pax and anyone else for that matter, they don't need tape recorders. Locker room material is etched in their minds. You really need help, dude.

And what's with you bringing up Pamprin,GLEE etc. Am i talking to a butch lesbian that's really into sports and resents barbie dolls and anything girlie? You seem to be far too aware of feminine products and tv shows to be a man

[alec tapia]

Listen spaz...I'll agree with you to an extent as i believe comments like Barkley's probably did motivate Mj and the bulls but it still had no effect on who won. That's all i'm saying once the game starts it comes down to who's hitting their shots,who's hitting the boards,getting loose balls. So when the suns had a 2 point lead with 14 seconds to go in game 6(when they were dominating the 4th quarter) MJ pulled the tape recorder out of his pocket and said hey Pax remember what Barkley said?

[alec tapia]

It still comes down to whatever team executes the best,so again you are putting way too much power into words.And btw i never said it made me an expert but i do know quite a bit about the competitive nature in athletes(and i'm ultra-competitive myself)

[shooster11]

@alec9tap - Ooooo, you played high school basketball and that makes you an expert on what NBA players' pysche?? Um, no. Believe me, there are some personal battles that go on for years and yes, there are some guys that are especially motivated by what others say and they back it up by letting it all hang out on the court/playing field. If you don't know this, then it's safe to say that you are not a very valuable asset to any team. You may not watch LifeTime, but apparently you need Pamprin.

[alec tapia]

I actually know more about locker room material then you do since i've played sports my entire life and basketball in high school... And any NBA player or any sports player will tell you when the game starts what went on in pregame has very little effect... And what the fuck is GLEE? I'm sorry i don't watch lifetime,so maybe you can help me with that?
