4 time DPOY though. That's tied with Dikembe for most ever. He won't get in immediately, or at least he shouldn't since Rodman had to wait over a decade, but I think he might eventually get there.

I wouldn't consider him in the league of Dikembe or Rodman though. Dikembe was also an international face of the game including numerous charities etc... I would not consider Ben Wallace a HoFer.

Possibly. After all, Brown has taken credit for Bynum being successful, so losing a player of that caliber would be almost as bad as not having Joel MVP Anthony on your team.

Shows what you know which is next to nothing. I'd say Marc Gasol has worked out fine for the Grizzlies at least they were actually able to win playoff games and a series with him unlike with Pau.

What would a Cavs fan know about being better off in the future and one who roots for his team to lose?

NBA TV guys, as well as Indiana broadcasters Quinn Buckner and Chris Denari said it was the best half of basketball this season. In the entire league. I switched when it was like 40-20, but from what I saw Id agree. Heat did no wrong.

Lakers player lounge errupted when he hit it, according to their beat writer.

I was enjoying Lin until he just had to mention god. I'm not against god in any way. In fact, the opposite. But now it could turn into tebow. Where my family and other people start saying the Knicks are winning because god wants them too. Drives me nuts!!!!!!!!! God doesn't care about sports!!

He is on record as saying Tebow is a huge inspiration for him. He is similarly a very big Christian like Tebow, so the God references will become more frequent the more we hear from him.
