Thinking about it, Whitelock has a point. I HATE watching the Nuggets play. I also hate looking at DeLonte West while he is playing. Whitelock is right when he says it's uncomfortable. I can only imagine what the white fans in Denver are thinking to themselves while watching their team play.

Maybe it's because the games have been a lot more interesting to watch this year. Or maybe because the story lines are better. *shrugs*

Hell it doesnt hurt that it's Detroit v Boston in one conf finals and L.A vs the defending champions in the other.

I find it amusing that Jason wants people to believe that he has something intelligent going on in that brain.

How does Whitlock know that? To be honest folks don't want to watch Larry Hughes or D.West because they're not marquee players. D.West is almost there but I wouldn't buy season tickets because of him. Most fans are there for either the BIG GUNS in the NBA OR for their home teams.

By far the most idiotic statement he's ever made. Maybe there are folks who don't care for the tats, BUT to suggest that its up because guys aren't wearing them anymore is stupid at best, down right moronic at worse.

I'm sure folks are RUSHING to see Luke Walton because he doesn't have alot of tats huh?

P.S. if its "uncomfortable" to see a player with tats playing basketball then maybe you need to find your manhood. Roll Eyes

As of Jan 10, 2007

TOP 15 PLAYER JERSEY SALES LIST:
1. Kobe Bryant – Los Angeles Lakers
2. Dwyane Wade – Miami Heat
3. LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers
4. Allen Iverson – Denver Nuggets
5. Carmelo Anthony – Denver Nuggets

Two of the most popular players in the league but people dont want to see them play. Makes sense to me.

And how does he explain the San Antonio v Detroit finals from a few years back when almost NOBODY watched? They havent changed their rosters much.

From some reason DeLonte West looks like he has herpes to me. I don't even know what herpes look like but it can't be much worse than what DeLonte appears suffering from.

Cousin looks like he should be spending his last remaining days at a hospice somewhere.

While I do think that Whitlock is Uncle Ruckus in the flesh, he may have a point. Aside from the Spurs not being the runaway favorite this year, and Garnett coming to the East, I'm ashamed to say this post I recently did may add credence to his argument.

He has "Zero" point. None!!! This is the greatest season in the NBA since the league has been broadcasting games. We had 8 teams in the playoffs with 50 wins. Nuff said. The Celtics are in the Eastern finals for the first time in 21 years. The Lakers are back....Kobe's image is improving and since he's the best player in the NBA that doesn't hurt either.

Jason writes for shock!! Black KKK...etc,etc,. He's trying to get a reputation of "telling blacks what they don't want to hear". He thinks that will make him viewed as..."daring". Puleeeezzzz....It's just another Whitlock PR Stunt. Nothing to see here move along. The more we react to this stuff the more he writes.

I don't think there is a direct correlation between tats and ratings but he does have a point.

All due respect but he named two role players, seriously.

You do notice the tats though. I don't see how someone would turn the channel because of them but just watching the NCAA and NBA playoffs, I think, why the fugg would you put a tat on your neck? I don't mind a tat on the shoulder, chest, arm or whatever- but all over the friggin' place? I really don't need to see that. That, however, doesn't correspond to ratings in my opinion.

Whenever I think about getting a tatoo I remember looking at National Geographic and seeing the native tribes who put rings around their necks, burn their own flesh and stick plates in their lips - all in the name of fashion. I can't help but think 100 years from now people will look back at this current tatoo fade and wonder what the hell made us do something so dumb.

No sense in fighting it. Hampton is better and you all know it that's why you all are always trying to tear us down.
