Comments on: Barry Berates Radio Host For Cutting Down Kobe http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/remember-hes-rick-barry-and-youre-not-ok-24261 Celebrity sports gossip since 2001 Fri, 25 May 2012 18:37:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: CDNguyen http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/remember-hes-rick-barry-and-youre-not-ok-24261#comment-99580 CDNguyen Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:42:19 +0000 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/remember-hes-rick-barry-and-youre-not-ok-24261#comment-99580 Johndewar: "Yeah, because sports is such rocket science that you need to be a former professional athlete in that particular sport to understand it. Hey Rick, just because some doofus owner paid  you to play a game at one time, it doesn't mean that you're all that smart."   Barry palyed basketball as a profession and therefore understands it way better than someone who studied journalism.  Your argument makes no sense at all.  It's like saying if I had a medical degree and I were one of the top doctors in the world, a 2nd rate reporter could tell me I'm not an expert and try to argue with me about medicine?  Sure, sports and medicine are two different things but a pro is a pro.

If the Lakers win it this year idiots like Stugotz will have to resort to, "Well, of course he won. Look at all the talent he had around him."

He has passion for the game and hates mediocrity. Koba is an accused rapist with a good shot. If he didn't pay for a high priced attorney he would be in the slammer.
