yep, you're clearly not watching any Kwame Brown basketball. You believe the journos who try to have a whack at him like they did with the Bynum stuff. ;D Please point out where he took credit for Bynum's success ;D and please don't say it was when he said "I taught him everything he knows" which was clearly a tounge in cheek comment. did you miss the game this year where Bynum could hardly score on Brown? He got all of his points when Biedrins was on the court, just like Howard did last season when Brown was off and the Bobcats had to chuck some scrub on.

There are very few centers who can score on Kwame without having to bust their ass. He's a very good defender and close to the best post defender in the league. He wasn't picked #1 in the draft and still playing for good money 10 years later for no reason. He's a solid player. He's average on offense but not a liability. He sets a lot of good screens and averages about 8 points.There's a reason why Miami and Boston were chasing him.

:rollin :lol Close to the best defender in the league.  :lol   :rollin   Almost as funny as Kwame taking credit for Andrew Bynum's success.

Please point out the game where he "raped Howard."

He is a solid defender but he's a complete offensive liability.  He's lucky he's got size or he would have been out of the league or glued to the bench, Adam Morrison style, years ago.

Raped Howard again yesterday. Rejected him a couple of times and how many points did Howard score on Kwame? 2.

True but he got bent over big time by Brown. Took it very personally too. The refs came to his rescue by calling pretend fouls on Kwame.

Australian basketball in crisis once again. The NBL could be down to just 7 teams which would put the comp's future in jeopardy.

Indoor sports in Australia will always struggle due to the fact that TV rights and sponsorships do not earn enough to keep them afloat. Plus if you can only fit 4 figure crowds into your stadiums, gate takings and merchandising just wont cut it either.

Especially when they leave the roof open and it rains.
