He should have been given the franchise here....instead of Johnson.

No doubt. Hindsight is 20/20 but the NBA made a "PR" move with giving the chance to Johnson. Wow. That worked out well for everyone involved.

Top to bottom, Larry Bird is the best player/person to ever be affiliated with the NBA.

Well Hatter is white isnt he? And the only people Ive seen yearn for Bird as an OWNER were white. Only ones I seen characterize Bob getting the team as a PR move were local whites likike MrTD. Where are the hordes of blacks who feel like you guys feel, holding that 8 year grudge? Why is it one demographic?

IIRC, the NBA didn't think the financial backing for Larry's goup was as strong as Bob Johnson's.

It is unfortunate that the NBA couldn't have convinced the two groups to join forces though.

Who in their right mind would be opposed to having a winner like Larry Bird associated with the franchise?

It is not unreasonable to believe that Larry Bird's abilities as player, coach and president would have had a significant positive impact on this organization.

Anyone that likes a winner, likes Larry Bird.

Pacers have a lot of talent. I like what he has done with that team and they could easily shock a lot of people and beat the Heat.

They're balling hard now, looking good. I think they can get past the heat, not sure if they can go all the way.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
