You would like him.

yea and you hate all things not bulls, get over yourself

Yeah I'm a homer, so what? I have no idea who you even support. I'm pretty sure you just pop in to be a contrarian and to post comments that lack basketball insight.

oh yea, and you're an NBA insider yourself

Im honestly curious where your loyalties are as a fan. Who do you support besides lebrons left and right testicle?

He's a Lakers fan. I don't think it's that he's a LeBron fan as much it is that some people constantly criticize him (usually for things unrelated to how good or bad he is on the court) and peeps dismisses that kind of stuff and points to how good he is on the court. In other words, I think it's only in the context of debating basketball with anti-LeBron people that he could be conceived of as a LeBron fan.

Well said.

i live in pittsburgh, a place that cannot support a NBA team simply because everything is either steelers, penguins and now pirates.

my dad moved to california in 82-83 and would send back the sports pages of the lakers so i latched onto them as a way to connect with him out there.

i have personal hatred for a lot of players but dont deny how good they are.

your constant bitching and moaning about players like wade and lebron is laughable considering you have one of the biggest douches on the planet on your team in noah.

you say delly has no talent and shouldnt be on the court yet your team has beverly on it who did the same exact thing to westbrook.

you cry about your team cant get past any lebron led team and you bathed in the sunlight that was jordan.

your act is old and tiresome and you border on insanity with your "basketball" insight

[Coach]

I crapped on Lebron for leaving Cleveland for Miami, but if he actually pulls this off and wins a title this year, and then maybe 1-2 more with Cleveland....man, that's a legacy that's tough to argue with. Right up there with Jordan.

[verb_to_trust]

Ive had the same thought. This simply cannot happen.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

he wouldn't make the finals if the cavs played in the west or something

Beverly plays for the bulls?

[verb_to_trust]

I do remember chris bosh complaining about omer asik diving for a loose ball and rolling him up years back. But I cant recall anyone on the bulls pulling the shit douchadova is. What has it been? Three times this playoffs? Lebron and him laughed when Taj Gibson got ejected.

[Peeps]

cripes, im confusing beverly and brooks

So Lebron never really bothered me until the other night when he's laying on the floor after that game for 30 seconds then he's perfectly fine for an interview but my lord, the people who get paid to write about Athletes are the absolute worst. His histrionics are bad enough and then these columns... SMH.

Lebron is just a guy who even though he's a superstar, desperately needs people to love him. He needs a hug. Why is it not perfectly fine to expect one of the best most physically dominant players in NBA history to carry his team to the finals? He's done it for what 5 years or more now? He got some incredibly average Cleveland teams there before he left for Miami now he's Atlas?

Really? This is not fucking heroic unless you've lived in Cleveland forever I guess and have suffered through the shit they've seen with the Browns. Why would he even write that column? The hero worship in sports is unbelievable these days.

Anyway, Fuck Dellavadova forever, and Go Demarre Carroll.

[verb_to_trust]

I found the most amazing thing about the game to be when under a minute with his team losing Lebron drives, misses, then lays on the floor after not getting the call. He didnt even get back on defense....HIS TEAM WAS LOSING. Then the guy makes his first three in what seems like weeks and bails himself out. #witness

The eastern conference is bad but I'll admit I've been impressed with the run they've made. It'll be framed nicely by the beating the warriors will give them in the finals and history will view it with a shrug....I hope.

[bada]

I'm rooting for an exciting finals but I'm thinking the Warriors in 5. Second half of game 3 Lebron's I quit body language will start. Hope I'm wrong.

How the fuck did the Hawks win 60 games?

Good system, good injury luck (during the season), and playing in the East. Too bad they haven't been the same team in the past 2.5 months.

Relative to how successful he is lebrons wife is pretty ugly.

say what you will...anyone...but this is why i'm not a fan of Steph Curry. every freaking game he hangs his head when he turns the ball over and doesn't get back on defense.

play a full game bro.

[Electromatic]

Well my sports town has a history fairly similar to Cleveland, so good luck too you.
