Dude, you just totally swore on here. What kind of a d!cknosed piece of sh!t dumbs himself down with foul language?

I like the idea using famous coach quotes. Is that legal?

“Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win.”

"Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up. "

Best suggestion I've heard so far (from some unnamed GM who can't even top 65 in Pop-a-Shot):

"I play in the biggest and best basketball manager game in the world. Why don't you join me?"



At least in bowling I, er, never mind.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

For what it's worth, I would prefer the quotes on the front page to be real quotes in some way. Something like "the biggest and best basketball manager game in the world" is completely meaningless (to me, at least). Anyone can say that. Granted, I'm probably more skeptical than most, but that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that the game is any good. (Note: It *is* really good. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay for it.)

Has this game been reviewed anywhere? I think a better hook would be something like "Magazine X rated us the best whatever game. Join and see what the fuss is all about."

What would you prefer, "get off my lawn old man"?

That seems reasonable - any suggestions for what we might do instead?

I really am happy to change this, but I'm looking for some better suggestions. :)

Avoid much slang - it should be understandable for people from around the world. So british like english, not many popculture hints etc.

It looks much better to me.
For the original quotes and
any other humorous quote let's not
forget that it should be funny
when it's translated to all other
languages, otherwise it looks
really awkward.

Decided to go with John Marcum as the face of BB huh?

That should make jbmcrock happy.

He really has the most infectious personality on the team.

I also hear that Günter Vyberal has freed up some time (approximately three weeks) to leave the team and do promotional appearances on behalf of Buzzerbeater.

I guess no one liked my suggestion-

"Play BB, because HT sucks now!"

The quotes up now are a marked improvement
