Magic signed LeBron to attract talent and nobody wants to play with him except Large Idiot.

Last night was awesome btw. Great way to send Wade out. That 4th quarter was so much fun and it was great to see UD out there, too. I was praying he'd make one of those long J's he was taking, thankfully he finally did.

Nobody really cared outside of Miami. Still think it's pretty hilarious how we are supposed to forget the Bulls paid him to go away and the Cavs traded him for a second rounder sometime next decade. Like I said, thank God we don't have to watch him hijack a playoff series. Hall of famers showed up to Dirks last game...

Wade is better than Paul Pierce but it's a lot closer than people think.

Giannis turned down Space Jam 2. Nobody gives a shit about Lebron anymore.

Wade was a team worst -17 and 3-13 from 3 in a 19 point loss tonight. Good fucking riddance.

I agree. Paul is unlikable so that taints peoples opinion. He really was the truth. I still can't believe he got a TV gig. If there was anyone who I would never have imagined could transition to on air talent it's him. He must work cheap.

Wade's prime was noticeably better, but it didn't last very long due to his age and style of play. Pierce had more sustained relevance due to his shooting.

Pierce also wasted a lot of his prime being an all around asshole. It took getting stabbed 100 times and ultimately KG showing up as a positive influence for him to put it all together. By then he was at the tail end of his prime. If he figured it out earlier he might have gotten some of that Kobe/Wade/Dirk love but people don't love him like that.

More unlikeable: Paul Pierce or Grayson Allen?

I'll never have to see Wade in an NBA game again. I'm thrilled.

I'd be curious to look at the box score because when you remind me of that game Kirk Heinrich and those stupid goggles is what immediately comes to mind. Maybe he made a key defensive play, idk, but literally "stupid Kirk Heinrich!" is the thought that comes flooding into my brain over that game.

Kirck tackled LeBron, which really hurt his fee fees. Bulls were without Rose, Noah, Rip and Marco Belinelli. Deng led the way with 28.
