    I've heard a number of great comments about the Thunder's new practice facility from players; MDot, do you know of an NBA practice facility which is better?

    I have as well, Laramie. I've also heard a number of great comments about the Dallas Mavericks, Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers etc. practice facilities. And no, I don't know of one which is better, but I also don't know of one that is worse, for all I know they're isn't a superior practice facility because they all serve the same purpose.

    Please forgive me, it seems I have struck a nerve of yours. I'm not degrading the facility, I'm just saying I'm not ready to say it's the best in the league even though it very well may be.

    Actually what you're saying is you know nothing, but would still like to tell other people that they're wrong. How about doing some research or just not commenting because the "I'm sure you're wrong, but I don't really know why" bit makes you look lazy and petty.

    Nevermind, I don't want to get into it. But I want to sum up the points I was trying to make before I edited my long statement, so hear it goes (notice I said hear, not here because I'm to lazy and petty to know the difference). So; I'm just to busy to look it up not because I'm lazy or petty and that was my opinion I was stating not a fact and I never told anyone they were wrong and I was right but if you can find a statement (an actual statement, not you misunderstanding what I actually meant) where I did say that I will personally pay you $200 (with love of course) for the emotional distress I have caused you and you are correct in one sense because I don't know who has the best practice facility but that's the only accurate statement in your post and those are the only points I have to make in a short/long sentence. Forgive me for saying and so much.

    But anyways KT, you win because I hate arguing, especially with people that already have everything figured out. So with that said, I'll let you enjoy your victory in peace because I have to go to the hospital and see my grandfather who fell and broke his hip last night. Love you.

    Charlie Sheen is a fake hollywood cat, Nazr Mohammed is the real deal.......14 years NBA, 6 or 7 teams, yeah he knows his stuff. Keep in mind, the NBA is the best in the world.

    I'm done bro, sorry I didn't make that clear. In my post above before I edited it I said "I retract my comments about not being sure that the Thunder have the best practice facility in the NBA" but I forgot to add it back after I edited it. I was wrong and you and Laramie were correct (golf clap and head nod).

    Oh, and yes, Nazr has been on 7 different teams.
