Forgive my ignaorance, but what is "white noise"?

Isiah is more than disappointing-he's terrible.

Cheryl is very good.  Vescey knows a lot about "behind the scenes" 
stuff, but Hubie has more, if not "too much" game knowledge.  Hubie may 
know more about the *game* of basketball than anyone else.  While he was 
a better than average coach (who taught RP a thing or two-check out RP's 
book Born to Coach), he is bron to be a B-ball color guy.

>and John Salley, who is really good if you haven't seen him.

After seeing Salley's racist comments during the playoffs last year "The 
league wants the Jazz to be in the Finals because they have the big 
snowy mountains on their jerseys.  They want that because that is where 
all of the white people go to ski" He also had some pot shots at Karl 
Malone, things pertaining to how he isn't "really black".  Pure racist 
BS.  "Old" Spiderman was a punk, but entertaining player. Karl Malone is 
a far better player & person than him & that other racist (Barkley).

I am prepared to be bar--qued for this. Flame me if you wish...
