		<description><![CDATA[Hi Mark, I like many people are playing fantasy basketball, i have joined a league i am convinced helps determine how well a player is producing or how best to use him in the line up.  the league scores like this.  &lt;br&gt;A player&#039;s KF Average is calculated by adding the total number of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks he accrues during the week, and dividing that figure by the total number of NBA minutes he played.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Mavericks Gms Pts Assts Rbds Stls Blks KFPts  Mins kf ave&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Dirk Nowitzki 81  2151 226   728  58   83   3246  3051  1.064&lt;br&gt;Josh Howard   59  923  111   371  68   26   1499  1885  0.795&lt;br&gt;Jason Terry   80  1371 306   158 100   27   1962  2757  0.712&lt;br&gt;Devin Harris  56  554  177   125  53   16   925   1252  0.739&lt;br&gt;Erick Dampier 82  469  51    640  27   106  1293  1900  0.681&lt;br&gt;Jerry Stackho 55  715  160   153  37   10   1075  1496  0.719 DeSagana Diop 81  190  23    374  44   146  777   1470  0.529&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;as examples.  the closer you are to 1.00 the better.  &lt;br&gt;if you are interested in more information, go to kfba.com&lt;br&gt;You can look at the FAQ, or the rules and it would help explain more in depth, just wanted to run by you.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;thank you&lt;br&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. CUBAN,&lt;br&gt;Thanks for Your Insights and &quot;the Balls&quot; to&lt;br&gt;Express how You Really Feel in this weblog.&lt;br&gt;SHAQ said it Best, &quot;MARK CUBAN is My Hero&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Congratulations on being 1 of the 621 Club.&lt;br&gt;Forbes is saying there are 621 Billionaires&lt;br&gt;in the World.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You&#039;re right on with the Olympic &quot;Movement&quot; &lt;br&gt;being all Business. The corruption of the IOC &lt;br&gt;was well documented on 60 Minutes. Same with&lt;br&gt;the UN, WHO, Pentagon, &amp; Pharmaceutical Co&#039;s.&lt;br&gt;Apparently Cash is King, Values are for Chumps&lt;br&gt;and Money Changes Everything. At least that&#039;s the&lt;br&gt;Outer Illusion. Real Power is From Within.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah the Original Dream Team was Great and the&lt;br&gt;US couldn&#039;t get enough of it. Now no one&#039;s talking&lt;br&gt;about it. America Only Loves a Winner. Perfect&lt;br&gt;example the Lakers Fans, a couple of years ago&lt;br&gt;100&#039;s of Thousands of cars on LA streets had Laker&lt;br&gt;flags with suction cups attached to their car windows,&lt;br&gt;flying proudly. Now, when they&#039;re not champs, You &lt;br&gt;Literally Can&#039;t Find ONE Car with a Flag - NOT ONE. &lt;br&gt;What kind of Fan is that? Where is the pride, I ask.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do You know why all NBA TV Games are BLACKED OUT in China?&lt;br&gt;Games are Televised on ESPN Asia to Asian Countries, except&lt;br&gt;China. Is it because the govt.doesn&#039;t want their people to &lt;br&gt;see Yao Ming Prospering in America ? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have You ever Considered Selling the Mavericks Now, while &lt;br&gt;the Value is at an all time high?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And Lastly, Man, You Got Me Thinking with the Idea of Why&lt;br&gt;Not Start Our Own Games. Brilliant. Why Not? I checked and&lt;br&gt;SuperGames was already taken but TheSuperGames.com was &lt;br&gt;Available so I just Registered it Today. Unlimited&lt;br&gt;Possibilities. How about for the First Ever HalfTime Entertainment it&#039;s You &amp; TRUMP in a Cage Match, Winner &lt;br&gt;Take All. I and Millions of Others Would Pay Good Money &lt;br&gt;To See That.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;May You Be the World&#039;s First TRILLIONAIRE.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Peace.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;]]></description>

<p>Congratulations on being 1 of the 621 Club.<br />Forbes is saying there are 621 Billionaires<br />in the World.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re right on with the Olympic &#8220;Movement&#8221; <br />being all Business. The corruption of the IOC <br />was well documented on 60 Minutes. Same with<br />the UN, WHO, Pentagon, &#038; Pharmaceutical Co&#8217;s.<br />Apparently Cash is King, Values are for Chumps<br />and Money Changes Everything. At least that&#8217;s the<br />Outer Illusion. Real Power is From Within.</p>
<p>Yeah the Original Dream Team was Great and the<br />US couldn&#8217;t get enough of it. Now no one&#8217;s talking<br />about it. America Only Loves a Winner. Perfect<br />example the Lakers Fans, a couple of years ago<br />100&#8242;s of Thousands of cars on LA streets had Laker<br />flags with suction cups attached to their car windows,<br />flying proudly. Now, when they&#8217;re not champs, You <br />Literally Can&#8217;t Find ONE Car with a Flag &#8211; NOT ONE. <br />What kind of Fan is that? Where is the pride, I ask.</p>
<p>Do You know why all NBA TV Games are BLACKED OUT in China?<br />Games are Televised on ESPN Asia to Asian Countries, except<br />China. Is it because the govt.doesn&#8217;t want their people to <br />see Yao Ming Prospering in America ? </p>
<p>Have You ever Considered Selling the Mavericks Now, while <br />the Value is at an all time high?</p>
<p>And Lastly, Man, You Got Me Thinking with the Idea of Why<br />Not Start Our Own Games. Brilliant. Why Not? I checked and<br />SuperGames was already taken but TheSuperGames.com was <br />Available so I just Registered it Today. Unlimited<br />Possibilities. How about for the First Ever HalfTime Entertainment it&#8217;s You &#038; TRUMP in a Cage Match, Winner <br />Take All. I and Millions of Others Would Pay Good Money <br />To See That.</p>
<p>May You Be the World&#8217;s First TRILLIONAIRE.</p>
<p>Peace.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I really disagree to most of your opinions. USA team is there to participate in International Basketball Competitions because of Pride, it might be national pride or pride for self as a player because for once they are able to compete with practically unknown players around the world, and here they are the NBA players with multi million contracts eager to show why they deserve to have such contracts to the rest of the world. &lt;br&gt;Among the professional workers here in the world, Pro Basketball player has the highest pride. International Basketball Competitions are just like wars that each contry would love to show their artilliary and would really love to be the superior nation. NBA players would really love to route their oponents just to show their skills and talents, infact if they won by a large margin, during the post game interviews they will really imposed dominance and fearful statements just to scare off their next oponents. That is why for me it is really a big humiliation and big slap to the faces of those famous lazy millionares in the NBA that they get beaten by Unknown players who plays basketball for the love of the game and not for money.]]></description>
