STL Hoops Insider Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 If for some strange reason the concept of the new league doesn't entice you as a basketball fan, there is a Billikens angle too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Larry Hughes is on a team with Chauncey Billups and Stephen Jackson. Charles Oakley is listed as a player coach. I think TBT has this beat in terms of intrigue. This "league" reminds me of bands from 20 years ago that still tour except now they're playing the ballroom at the Argosy instead. Im expecting the quality of basketball to be somewhere between rock and jock games and the NBA all star games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few teams appear in over their head but I think there will be some good ball played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of old men way past their prime trying to make some money. Just check out your retired friends and or relatives. When the bank accounts start giving way, most old men past their prime try to make some money in any way they can, if nothing else to maintain the fiction that all is OK with their lives.

bauman Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Why is this not classified as OT? My only hesitation in posting this, is that it brings this cr*@& thread up to the top.

Taj79 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Gee, old guy, too bad the role of "Captain Obvious" is filled in those TV ads? Or is that your day job? I am constantly amazed that old athletes have to resort to extending their so-called athletic careers even when time has surely passed them by. Didn't they make enough money at $25 million per year so that work is more or less a hobby and pass time? Maybe that's what this 3-on-3 is but frankly, sitting outside in the cool of a summer evening with a good single malt and torched Churchill makes more sense to me. And leave old friends and relatives out of this ---- comparing the common man to some of these has-beens is not fair to the common folk. My NBA Finals/Sumo Wrestling viewing time for the last three years has averaged maybe 10 minutes per year. Ergo if negative numbers were achievable, they would surely be posted for this drivel. This morning, Neal Everett was interviewing Will Ferrell on SportsCenter in a surfboard Hawaiian shirt. The top t3en started with the Ugliest Dog Contest. Ta-ta, ESPN. You used to be somebody ......

RUBillsFan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Tying this thing back to the Billikens. Larry Hughes' team did not fare well in week 1. Losing by 15 points to a team with Kenyon Martin, Al Harrington, and Rashad McCants on it. Here is the box score: http://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=175864 Larry put up 2 pts on 1-3 shooting w 2 TOs and an assist. His teammate Stephen Jackson probably sunk his team's chances by going 1 - 11 (!) from 3 pt range during the game. Yikes. Team Captain Chauncey Billups did not play.

OT First sentence with blackened type: No, it is not enough since it is inadequate to sustain their chosen lifestyle. A good question is what amount, if any, would be enough to afford their chosen lifestyle? Second sentence with blackened type: Completely agree. Third sentence with blackened type: Disagree, these have beens behave exactly like lots of the common folk except that they make and spend a lot more money.

According to what I have learned the 3 on 3 game has some strange rules for the upcoming Olympics. Shots will be worth either 1 or two points, each team will consist of only four players, there will be a 10 second shot clock and the game will last 10 minutes.

Old guy Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 05, I assume you are talking about a Big 3 basketball game. It is hard to watch old folks pretending to be young again. Next time I would suggest you should go to the bar and drink a beer or two until your plane is ready to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
