Phrase used to insult small town s, based on a misunderstanding of the context of its origin. [...] The context of the phrase is in a character’s recollection of a child’s tutorial on cyberspace. [...] Only code objects, created and in some cases controlled by the users, are normally displayed in the Matrix for other users to see - because those code objects, as machine data, have become part of the totality of data which the Matrix was created to display. [...] Unlike humans, for whom the Matrix is a data navigation tool and not an explicit virtual reality, these constructs display actual presence in the Matrix that is observable by humans who are accessing it.

Yet many people knew a very different Ron Artest–one who went broke despite his multimillion-dollar salary because he was so insistent about supporting his family, friends, and community, one who donated his time to wheelchair basketball competitions, one who had developed into one of the top young defensive players in the NBA through a combination of enthusiasm and fierce competitiveness. [...] People called the fracas “one of the ugliest scenes in NBA history,” and it surprised no one who had followed Artest’s career closely; he seemed to be, in the words of Sports Illustrated’s Chris Ballard, “basketball’s version of the Incredible Hulk, morphing into a destructive alter ego and then having no memory of the transformation afterward.” [2]

Wallace responded with a two-handed shove that sent Artest stumbling backward toward the scorer’s table. [...] Honing his skills on the court and working on aggression issues under the care of a team psychologist, Artest seemed to hit his stride as a player, The duo of Artest and Jermaine O’Neal evolved into perhaps the NBA’s most-feared pair of forwards, and at the end of the 2003-04 season Artest was named an NBA All-Star and won the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award.

“But there’s not a bigger Greg Oden fan in the world than Sam Bowie,” Bowie said by phone Friday. [1]

In the 1984 draft, the Portland Trailblazers drafted Sam Bowie, a 7′1 center/power forward from Kentucky with the second overall pick. [2]

Drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1st round (2nd pick, 2nd overall) of the 1984 NBA draft. [3]

While Olajuwon has gone on to have a Hall of Fame career and Michael Jordan is considered by many as the greatest player of all-time, Bowie led a long but unremarkable career, coming back from a string of career-threatening leg injuries. [2]

In 1980, Bowie was picked for the United States Olympic Men’s Basketball Team, the last player with no college or professional basketball experience to make the Olympic squad. [4]

Drafting Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan was the single most collosal blunder in the history of basketball. [2]

Bowie was already rooting for Oden as “a fellow big man” drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers, but the link between them became permanent this week when Oden was unexpectedly forced to undergo microfracture surgery on his right knee, meaning that the No. 1 overall pick in the June draft likely will miss his entire rookie season. [...] Blazers center Sam Bowie had an injury-filled NBA career. [1]

After four injury-plagued seasons with the Trail Blazers in which he averaged 10.5 points per game, Bowie was traded, along with a draft pick, to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Buck Williamson June 24, 1989. [4]

Even though Robert Parish’s talents are often overlooked, the Celtics of the 80’s had arguably the greatest front line in pro basketball history with Bird, McHale and Parish. [2]

North Carolina shooting guard Michael Jordan was picked third, by the Chicago Bulls, and would go on to be one of the greatest players in basketball history, earning five NBA Most Valuable Player Awards and winning six NBA Championships. [6]

He played college basketball at the University of Kentucky for five years where he was well-regarded, but hobbled by leg injuries that benched him for two seasons. [4]

He averaged over 28 points and 18 rebounds per game, and was a McDonald’s All-American and Parade All-American. [7]

In 1984, Bowie entered the NBA draft, and after the Houston Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon with the first pick in the draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Bowie over North Carolina shooting guard Michael Jordan. [4]
