globetrotters are where its at
You've got to give the 'Trottes thier due, the are the original "street ballers"
HOWEVER,
The Globetrotters allways play the Washington Generals I think, and I'm pretty sure they are a bunch of 5'10" white actors.
The And1 guys are actually playing crews from different cities who are trying to beat them, even if there aren't any real rules.
well the globtrotters are allowed to stop the clock and shit so they can utilize the bucket of confetti on the crowd,
i think they play college teams and i think they lost once a few years ago, but there isnt the same competitiveness in thier games
i still think theyd all bounce the ball off hotsauces head several times
I actually went to school with this guy, he was a crazy mofo.
He used to do back flips off the bleachers

Entering his fourth season with the Globetrotters, Blakes will serve as an Advance Ambassador during the 2006 World Tour. An extremely athletic guard and a great scorer. Was one of the team’s lead counselors during the Globetrotters’ 2005 Summer Basketball Camp season.

Personal
Blakes earned an associate’s degree from Arizona Western and continues to work on his psychology degree at Wyoming. He wants to pursue a career in social psychology after basketball. Blakes is a close friend of Sacramento Kings guard Mike Bibby, also from the Phoenix area.
Favorite Place/Landmark
After three years of traveling with the Globetrotters, Blakes is interested in visiting South Africa, because of his admiration of Nelson Mandela.
Globetrotters originally with Lemon and Goose really would play crews from all over like And 1 does today. And Wilt The Stilt was a globetrotter before he went to the NBA. I think the And1 ballers are good. But the globetrotters got 2 squads the one that blasts fools out by 30 and those who do the tricks, tne blast out crew would beat And1 and the teicks one would have a close one
Wasn't Connie Hawkins a Globetrotter too???
Really the Globetrotters are better because when it comes down to brass tacks they can actually play where as And1 is a showboat team....it's not any different than a minstrel show....where's Al Joleson???
This question is for all the Americans right?
Ive heard of the Harlem Globetrotters...I used to watch their cartoon as a kid, but who the fook are the other lot?..Doesn't even sound like a team!
(forgive my ignorance of all things yank :) )
...For the love of all things holy, I am no yankee! American please, I am not from the north, new york, nor do I like anything to do with the baseball team from there.
The AND1 "team" fill up ESPN/ESPN2 with their bullcrap shows and all it is is a bunch of showboating ignorant bastards who if they had any REAL game would play in the NBA...HOWEVER the NBA is becoming more and more like that group of jackasses to impress their "fan base" which apparently when they ain't out slinging crack on the corner are trying to emulate their favorite obscure street thug basketball playing quasi-stars.
Hey let's wear baggy clothes, turn the bass to 10,000, call each other "nigga", walk with a limp, talk with a stupid accent and act ignorant.....yes this will last forever....
someone END THIS FACADE!
Errrr...thanks for clearing that one up for me Lyle :dontknow:Quote:

You are an ignorant fuck Lyle
The Globe are the O.G.
AND1 are the new age.......Rayfer Alston a.k.a. "Skip 2 my lew" played for the Miami Heat ;) and he now plays with the Rockets (thanks D-Monk ;) ) so as you can see they got some real talent.
Heres a video of AND1 for those who don't know them.......

one day when I was 7 or 8 years old I came home from school and Meadowlark Lemon was in my kitchen.Quote:

Also just because I think making a team/league out of JUST showboating is about the gayest thing ever makes me ignorant? I have no problem with basketball as long as it's played right as a TEAM and not as some selfish cunt who wants to make a fool out of someone else...much like I dislike showboating in boxing.
Watch The Dream Team (the ONLY dream team, 1992 Barcalona Olympics) how much showboating did those guys do? Yeah they ran the score up on everyone but they didn't act like punk bitches, they played with a certain thing called COUTH...look it up
I do watch NASCAR occasionally but comparing the two is totally wrong....I mean in that case when was the last time a driver climbed into the stands and tried to beat someone up for throwing something at him? BOOM!!! Shot a hole in that theory!
Cornrows and tatoos have very little to do with it, it's how they ACT not what they look like...act like a "thug" get called a thug....tough shit, but hey whoever walks the walks deserves it. Just because someone races a car doesn't mean they are A) from the south B) a redneck or C) fucks their cousin....I didn't start off angry at reading your post but I am not as happy now as I was before reading it...who's being a bigot now? I have the right not to like something I didn't say ANYTHING about NASCAR or whatever but you bring it up this whole big rant which if I did the equivilent of what you did I would be banned or the thread would be locked or whatever.
AND1 are the better players cos they do it when they compete... Globetrotters got some skills but its all fake... :P
little nicky :D...
TECHNICAL FOUL! GET THAT SH1T OUTA HERE
its all part of the show honey :P
Well the Globetrotters don't ALWAYS play the Generals...they do a lot of the time but they'll play vs NCAA teams and so on.
As for AND1 being "real" it's like comparing WWE to some "Hardcore wrasslin" it's still fake to an extent...like those guys play defense.
That's part of my whole argument DEFENSE is an important part of the game and the greatest players of all time still played defense, ie one MICHAEL JORDAN who was defensive player of the year...NO ONE from AND1 ever plays defense and the technical skills, ie passing, running plays and all are being killed off by the idea that showboating is good for the game. A little showboating is ok, it adds flavor but like any spice if you have too much it over powers the original flavor of the game
This is going off topic a bit and by no means am I singleing you out Lyle but...
If you go on a date i would fookin love to be a fly on the wall. You are possibly one of the most disagreeable people ever. Anything your date might say you will probably triple analyse and come up with 4 different arguments against it linked in with religion and backed up with nonsensical diatribe.
Thats all well and good but when she's asking your opinion on the desserts on offer it would probably get a bit much.
I find it fukkin amusing! ;D...you are one of a kind! lol
...so I have an opinion Munky, what's so bad about it? ha
I agree with people....just not on everything, I ain't no yes man!!
so I just disagreed with your assessment that I never agree with anyone....so maybe I proved you right
I'm kinda of the same way.
I can tell you why Lenox Lewis sucks the big one and turn around the next minute and tell you how he is the greatest Heavyweight of this era, depends what kind of mood of I'm in
Well I mean I never loved Lennox Lewis but he was a great fighter...I think the main thing I sort of back track on is Duran and Mayorga...I loved how Duran was such an asshole to Ray Leonard but I hate Mayorga with a passion
Forgive me for not knowing the proper terms for tobacco use. Thanks for schooling me.Quote:

Not really. When's the last time a NBA player(or AND1) killed another in the middle of the game?Quote:

Same goes for people who act like and talk like a racist(see above quote #3)....tough shitQuote:

My point in saying all that was to point out how ignorant you sounded. It worked.Quote:

Quit your crying. This is Let's get it on. "Anything goes in this unmoderated board... except racist and illegal stuff. "Quote:

I'm not the one who made it a race thing.
The AND1 ballers played basketball teams from every state and was undefeated for 8 years before they lost.
I think And1 has their element but in an environment where you can get away with some things like carrying. What the globetrotters do(with the exception of confetti etc) Can be done in an organized game so in a way thats better.
I would love to have Globetrotters against And1.
Me too!Quote:

that would make some good money
Hells yeah.
People who don't get it just need to realize its entertainment, and that's all. It's really cool that you made the comparison in the first place cuz I've thought about it for a long time.
