[Tomm NCCC]

Probably already done this, but what the hell I'm a fickle kinda guy so I'll type what I'm thinking right now and see how they match

Top 5:
Tranmere Rovers - well better than Forest, regardless of what the league table says.

Well if thats what you think then your opinion is very important....

Top 5 Liked
1. Roger Federer - absolute genius, breathtaking strokeplay and so humble
2. BCL - Redefined artistic strokeplay
3. Agassi - Evergreen and has the best return in the game
4. Kangaroos FC - facilities burnt down, as expensive as WA salvage, yet the players still train their ass off
5. Olajuwon - Kudos to anyone who can play brilliant ball when fasting

Top 5 Disliked
1. Graham Poll - cant umpire for sh*t
2. Kangaroos recruiting manager - Hay, K Green, L picioane - WTF were u thinking
3. C Ronaldo - decide now - synchronised diving or football
4. Mundine - shut the hell up
5. Shoaib Akhtar - Wasted talent - get ure head in

Australian sport teams - I like Aussies generally, but I was reading an article by Simon Barnes in Wisden on the way to work this something, and everything he said was spot on. Can't remember what he said now though. Oh well

Well put.

 

[GIMH]

Well put.

LOL that really was a poor post*. Thinking back, the article was about why the Anglo-Aus rivalry is so intense etc.

I'm justified in wanting you lot to lose because of all the damage you inflict on our boys, year after year after year

*mine, not the one I quoted

[mohammad16]

no doubt at the top of the list is no other then Muhammad ALI, this man had the greatest sports personality ever, he didnt just change boxing, he changed the world

second is michael jordan

then sachin tendulkar

iverson

imran khan

ive always felt that muhammad ali is at the top compared to jordan because jordan stuck to basketball only, muhammad ali took on the whole nation, his work for the blacks, how he denied the war, speaking the blatantly obvious when the whole nation was ignorant enough not to do so, the guy jus took it to a whole new level, a true champion, u dont even have to talk about his boxing and still could consider him a legend. jsut amazing

 

[mohammad16]

i wouldnt hesitate trading foye for iverson, its not liek iverson and kg are playing thier last year in the nba, they could play 3-5 more years and plus, with iverson and KG in the team, other good role players, would see minnesota as a desirable location

like what alozon mourning and gary payton did when shaq went to miami

plus as i said, the moeny thing isnt as big as poeple think, nba works a bit diff, money wise, the twovles woudlnt really take a big hit even if they go for iverson

and can u link me that interview or article in which garnett said atleast make an attempt to get iverson?
