#Basketball People

#Basketball has people of all shapes, sizes, ages, intelligence levels, etc. Fans from the city, the suburbs, rural areas, foreign countries, and even other planets all come to chat. 

 We've got casual fans who come in to find out about scores and general news, and we've got diehard basketball fans who know everything about everything (or so they think...)

Channel regulars will probably have a profile/picture/homepage-link section on this page. It'll be done sometime in the near future. (Again, note that "in the near future" is a relative term. The year 2050 could be considered a reasonable example of when the "near future" may be.)

Some #Basketball Regulars:

slatkin - An Arizona Wildcats and New York Knicks fan who will discuss just about anything you may care to discuss. Also has a habit of being involved in a really great basketball conversation, then saying something really confusing, getting "What?" as a response, and then quickly leaving the channel, leaving his victims dazed and confused.
BrJ - Loves the Knicks and University of Massachusetts Minutemen; is convinced he'd make a better Knicks point guard than either Charlie Ward or Chris Childs. For some time now there has been talk that power has gone to his head, and that he's an evil, tyrannical dictator, but I will have you know that that is not true at all, and people who complain too loudly often get a visit from some totally random armed troops who deliver a lesson in "Attitude Adjustment" as they apply a "Lesson in Obedience" with their nightsticks.
JSmith - He likes cheese. And the Golden State Warriors. And sniffing glue, I think.
[saw]  - Actually exists in a bear-like state of hibernation until a mention of the Utah Jazz or his spiritual guru (John Stockton) causes car alarms and bullhorns attached to his computer to go off and call his attention to the screen.
MasterIce - Like [saw], MasterIce's heart pumps blood at 1/4th a normal rate until his team (The Houston Rockets) are mentioned. MasterIce actually has a special feature on his IRC program (given to him by [saw]) that notifies him when anyone on #basketball is even thinking about discussing Ice's favorite team.
Affinity - Go Kansas. Seen Bucked. 
Redz - Despite living in Toronto, Redz claims to be a Bulls (and Raptors) fan. I assume that since Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and any hopes of a championship in the near future are gone from Chicago, Redz will drop that "Bulls fan" act and admit that he's always, truly loved the LA Clippers.
Hill-33 - From the mean streets of Detroit (ok, actually he's from the suburbs, and has never actually seen a sidewalk), supports the Pistons, loves college basketball, and rest assured that if you ever out argue him in a basketball debate he will come back with choice words about yo big fat momma.
Rippn - Rippn is "[saw]like" in that he often goes into bear-like hibernation until the words "Jazz" or "Utah" cause bullhorns on his computer to go off. Fortunately for Jazz fans, Jordan is gone, which could mean that Utah may finally win their long-awaited championship...
Bullz99 - In honor of Bullz99, I have patented the term "The Bullz99 Syndrome." This is a pattern of behavior where one minute a person offers intelligent, thoughtful opinions, and the next minute he/she is ranting like they just broke out of an Insane Asylum, leaving you fearing for your life and cancelling your Internet Service.
Guyton - Guyton is one of #Basketball's many witty yet wacky kids. He sometimes comes down with a mild case of "The Bullz99 Syndrome", but is generally involved in regular basketball conversation, especially focusing on the Indiana Hoosiers, who, as we all know, are going to win the Championship.
OnFire - Onfire is the former KJ7, who won many part awards for "Most Likely to Cause you to Kick your Computer and Quit IRC." KJ7's presence on channel doesn't bring civil war quite like it used to, but instead brings an avalanche of excitement, play-by-play, and discussion of whatever games are going on that moment. While he usually does a great job with this, updates such as "Tony Battie hitz the free thrwo, now with 10:12 left in the first quarter  the Celts are up 5-3 over the Nuggets@!#$!@#$!@$#" are often rather unnecessary.

More Mini Profiles will be coming soon.

Disclaimer - the above profiles are written in jest, and are meant to amuse, not insult. Any offense taken by the above profiles will result in the random, anonymous group of armed troops mentioned above to pay you a visit and deliver said "Attitude Adjustment" until you see the light.
