sam's Bio

Basically Sam gets mad when he sees a factual error…

and more about Sam...

Sam’s favorite team is the Charlotte Bobcats...

The only reason why the NBA has not drafted Sam yet is because he is so good that he would single handedly destroy the NBA by making it extremely boring because he would win 20 championships in the 20 years he plays.

Sam’s illustrious sports resume:

NBA general manager 2004-2005
-Led Houston Rockets to 21 championships in 25 years in NBA Live 04.
-coached an 82-0 season plus 16-0 playoff record in 2015-2016

Pick-up basketball superstar- 1999-current

Once made 3 consecutive layups in a row 2005

I know it's sacrilegious for a life-long Chicagoan to compare anyone to MJ, but I done did it:

My oversight on the 67 Championship I meant to say the 1968 championship in which the Celtics defeated the Lakers in 6 games.

Thank you

Sam, Sam Sam...

I'm afraid you need to check your facts a little better next time. Nash's Suns of the 2005-06 season had the 3rd best overall record behind only the Pistons and Spurs. Mavericks had the 7th best overall record.

It's ok. I forgive you. You are only human, I presume...

Wow, big mistake on my behalf. I already knew that, but I guess I was just typing too fast. Next time, if there ever is one, just change it for me.
