Re: NBA Thread
The fact there are people that adamantly defend his behavior, or worse yet justify it because of the pressure he has been under his whole life. that's hilarious.verb_to_trust wrote:What's funny about MDs statement?BDB wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:Considering the hype/expectations and temptations he's had since he was 15 it is amazing he's as well adjusted as he is.BDB wrote:no debate.verb_to_trust wrote:It's not even a discussion anymore really.

Re: NBA Thread
LeBron absolutely needs to fix his jumper. You're right, his game as it currently is will not age well. I don't put it past him to adjust and become a good enough shooter to age well but he's going to need to put in work for sure.verb_to_trust wrote:MJ had an old man game. Lebron isn't chase down blocking anyone at 35 and his jumper is pretty broke by comparison. He'll deteriorate pretty fast as an elite player once the first injury hits.
His way of aging might be transition fully towards a Magic style of pass first, rebound second, and score third type of game. If he has a really good scorer like Kyrie with him it could work.

Re: NBA Thread
Are you REALLY offended that LeBron held up 3 fingers for each of his championships or are you just completely out of other ammo so this is all you have to hold against him? Like LeBron isn't allowed to put up 3 fingers because they weren't all with this team?BDB wrote:The fact there are people that adamantly defend his behavior, or worse yet justify it because of the pressure he has been under his whole life. that's hilarious.verb_to_trust wrote:What's funny about MDs statement?BDB wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:Considering the hype/expectations and temptations he's had since he was 15 it is amazing he's as well adjusted as he is.BDB wrote:no debate.verb_to_trust wrote:It's not even a discussion anymore really.

my point is that he is self centered. that picture pretty much sums up that point imo. in a moment, that he himself said was all for cleveand, he makes it about LeBron.

The only thing Lebron can do now is make Space Jam 2 and have a rotten tomatoes score above 60 percent.

Honestly I think the guy has been consistently funny on screen, especially in that Amy Schumer it's okay to be a whore flick.

I think it's official: the real verb is gone and this is clearly an impostor.

I've really enjoyed watching this play out for the last couple of weeks.

Highest Finals ratings since Jordan's last game in 98. Ayesha Curry is wearing her tinfoil hat as we speak.

The NBA needed a moment like last night to make up for the rest of the playoffs (outside of the WCF).

Re: NBA Thread
That was a fantastic finals. The last 3-4 minutes of Game 7, I hadn't been that excited in the moment watching a basketball game since I was a kid in the early-mid 90's.
