The leaves are starting to fall and that clod wind is startin' to blow in. That means its time for the 2007-2008 NBA season to begin.
Women in New York City beware. If you see a creepy man with the same name of a prophet looking at you, just run. Just make sure you don't run to the backseat of Stephon Marbury's Escalade.
The Throne would also like to unveil the Knicks' 2007 team slogan, as provided by the aforementioned Mr. Marbury: "I didn't call her a black bitch. I called her a bitch." Yes, that little gem came out of the Zeke trial. Great offseason for that crew.
My 2nd favorite off-season season story from the Law and Order :Special NBA Unit was the captaincy of the NBA's most prolific perp, Stephen Jackson. This portion of an article comes from ESPN:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jackson will start the season with a seven-game suspension from NBA commissioner David Stern. Jackson pleaded guilty in June to a felony count of criminal recklessness stemming from an incident in which he fired a gun outside an Indianapolis strip club during training camp in October 2006. He was also sentenced to 100 hours of community service and fined $5,000.
Jackson, who has been known to argue with officials and was ejected from two playoff games last season, has a past that includes being part of the infamous brawl at the Palace at Auburn Hills in November 2004. Jackson was suspended 30 games for his involvement. After a playoff game last season where Jackson vociferously complained openly about the referees, the newly appointed captain drew a fine from Nelson. But Nelson said he respects Jackson for his passion and energy. Jackson, who is sporting a new tattoo, says the ink references his past while looking to his future. The image shows two praying hands in front of a church window holding a gun.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats just a great move by Golden State. Way to send a message! No wonder the NBA has image problems. Whats next, OJ Simpson being named the national spokesman of the United Way?
Alright folks, enjoy the seaon. My championship pick Spurs over Nets.
Theres only one Stephen JacktOber.

The Nets!?! You did get the other one right.
Maybe Jackson will fire his gun in the air outside a church next time.
Hard to believe he was once a Spur
darkness,
I wanted to go somewhere a little different. I think if everyone stays healthy, they can make it,
CLE and Miami did nothing to improve their team. I don't think Detroit has the same passion that it once did. Their big 4 are too used to playing with each other.
WAS can't play defense. ORL and TOR are too young.
So I think it will come down to Boston or New Jersey. I think NJ has a better all around team.
Also, another dark horse pick is Atlanta.
So now you're deleting my comments?
What are you afraid of?
I'm not much of a b-ball fan, El, but man I gotta tell you that I look forward to reading your blog everyday! You've got some good stuff going on here man! :>) Now if I can just find a little time to get back to being active on BB and SS I'll be ok. By the way, you really attract some Nasty, Malicious, Stinky Foot people around here. It's no surprise that the jealous fool has followed you here. I just wonder how long it will take "Horseface" and "Boy With Girls Name" to become raging hemmorroids here as well.....
Toby,
What are you doing here, I thought we were the same person?
Errr...Ummm...Are we? Does that make us Jekyl and Hyde? LOL :>) Malicious the Moron would agree. Hey, I think he is "breathless" since you put a photo of Isiah Thomas up. We know how he feels about, errr, well you know.... :>)
Wait, if Elev is toby, and toby is elev, then who am I?
How does Isiah Thomas still have a job?
MC,
They are who we thought they are.
Elevation, I definatly agree, spurs, but the nets? i think there are 5 or 6 real contenders, but the nets arent one of them
