I long ago gave up trying to interest these guys in the NBA Yi, they're a lost cause.
The NBA is pretty uninteresting. All the giants of old are gone. Bryant, James and their ilk aren't fit to hold the legacies of Jordan, Bird and Magic, or even guys like John Stockton or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Go Bulls.
It was what you said in the 90s, it's still what you say now. Go Bulls.

Doesn't matter. He doesn't elevate the game. If championships were all that mattered, Steve Kerr and his 4 straight championships (5 total) would rank higher then Bryant anyways.

That comparison is total crap, Kobe has averaged over 25 points per game in his career and ranks third and sixth on the league's all-time post-season scoring and all-time regular season scoring lists.
Totally false, Neil. His greatest flaw as a player is that he has the tendency to take over the game and do to much.

Most players with personality are at least confrontational if not jerks. Jordan, Bird, Barkley they were all jerks. The only nice guy I can think of with a really forceful personality is Magic.
Magic was a philanderer.

Magic was just a big of a douche as the other guys when he was playing Basketball. He supposedly invented the persona Magic so he could be a jerk and then transition back to Earvin when he was not playing. At least according to him but Magic loves talking about himself so who knows?
Larry Bird seems like a pretty decent dude to me. I mean not dealing with anything related to Basketball of course but I was pretty touched by how much he reached out when Magic got HIV. He didn't have to do that.

I don't know how the Bulls had the season they did. As the commentator (Hubie?) pointed out during their last game, the Bulls roster is packed full of one-way players. Basically everyone except Rose plays only defense or only offense.

They have a hard working team and during the regular season a lot of teams take a lot of nights off. They also play great defence. Hard work and great defence almost always wins. Which is why they are in the Eastern Final.
Their problem is they are up against what may become one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history.

Watching Lebron James cry and the media freak out if the Heat lose would be so very entertaining.
But it means I have to watch a team from Dallas win :yuk:
But anything is better than seeing the Heat be crowned God-Emperors of Dune I guess.
I'm in same boat as Valmy, would rather Miami win but LeBron lose.
I would love the ring for Jason Kidd.
But I think Nazgul will take it.
The heat are playing great basketball. They have the defence to stop the Mavs. Like it or not this is likely the start of many championships to come for the Heat. Especially since the Heat are now going to be the first choice of any free agents who want to get a ring.

QuoteAfter this year of scolding and moral posturing, we have arrived at a final scene: Dirk Nowitzki — a simple man from vague origins — walks alone into battle against three mercenaries whose heedless and reckless pursuit of personal gain has unhinged the American Way. Everyone our hero has trusted and loved has either betrayed him (Jason Terry) or has died (Jason Kidd, Peja Stojakovic). And although the journey has long since lost its direction, the people's hero pushes on, not because there is value in pushing on for pushing on's sake, but because the audience demands its fill of blood and vengeance.

QuoteThe internet has exploded in the last couple of days with rumors that Savannah Brinson, LeBron James' fiance, has been having an affair with Washington Wizards guard Rashard Lewis. This, the rumor goes, is why James' play has been so lackluster over the past two games.
But today, Lewis flatly denied ever having even met Brinson:
"I have no idea," Lewis said on Houston radio station 97.9 The Box when asked why the rumors were circulating. "That's what I'm trying to figure out. Now I come home and I hear the same rumors. Those rumors are 100 percent false. They're not true. I don't know how they came up."
A day earlier, a host on that same Houston station reportedly claimed to have "a very reliable source" in the Orlando area, someone who was "all over the Tiger Woods issue" before it became public. This supposed source relayed word of a rumored tryst on South Beach between Brinson and Lewis, a former Orlando Magic player.

You would be justified.
I'd like the Heat to win just to shove it down everybodies throat but it's really hard not to cheer for the giant white guy.
To bad for Stern that Terry/Barea stepped up this game to counter all the fouls being called on Nowitzki/Chandler/Mahinmi.
Awesome. James has been punished.
His punishment continues. It will not be over till he retires with no rings. :contract:
Straight up awesome. :bowler:
Glad to see Dirk do what Hakeem and David Robinson did. Long time Texas stars getting their title in the end.

Dallas made it! Well, indeed, it was a very fantastic series. Both Miami and Dallas had shown us again the real team playing. Good job, especially Dirk, you're the best!
Any riots yet?
Does Dallas have enough black people to stage a riot? :hmm:
:XD:
For a guy who so desperately wants to be loved he always says the wrong thing.

QuoteQ. Does it bother you that so many people are happy to see you fail?
LeBRON JAMES: Absolutely not. Because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that.
They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point.
You can't spell Miami without MIA!
Why didn't LeBron go to college? Because he wouldn't have shown up for the finals!
Tomorrow is LeBron James Day in Cleveland and everyone gets to leave work 12 minutes early.

Why do you say he desperately wants to be loved?
His personality screams it. This is a guy stayed up to 2am after game 4 reading all the articles bad mouthing him. MJ would do that to pump himself up, but LeBron cares what people think of him.

So what's so bad about LeBron? Does a yine care to give a quick Digest of his sins?

He bolted his hometown of Cleveland despite being a beloved figure there. But that would have merely made him unpopular in Cleveland.
He, however, chose to make it a big deal and announced how he was going to dominate the league and win seven championships and then they did a big celebration as if they already won something in Miami. That made him unpopular in every other NBA city in the country.
Basically he ran off at the mouth and shot himself in the foot.
Yeah, other than the attention whoring on the scale of a reality tv star, I have nothing against him.

He is a very talented athlete. He has been given everything since a young age because of this talent. This includes being anointed the next "MJ" and possibly the best ever before he won anything. However, when push comes to shove, if Lebron isn't given it than he doesn't take it (like an "MJ" or other great superstar would) on the court. He than makes excuses which makes him come across as whiny, immature, and egomaniac. It was tolerable until the whole "Decision" show and Lebron along with his buddies basically holding the NBA hostage stating "they'll" decide which franchise to make the best ever.
Ultimately, Lebron will be another Wilt Chamberlain. Extremely athletically gifted individuals who did not use their talent to the fullest because their "heart" wasn't in it.
Yeah, the Decision TV thing was annoying. Favre-esque.

He didn't win - which is the only real sin Americans won't forgive.
As Jimmy and strix allude, MJ was even more arrogant but he also came through in the clutch and won championships.

QuoteBarry Petchesky — If you've ever wanted to see an entire state act like jealous toddler throwing someone else's toys, Ohio's got you covered. LeBron James, who spent years bringing money and excitement to Cleveland, and still does extensive charity work in Akron, didn't win at basketball. As a result, Ohio Governor John Kasich issued a proclamation today making the Mavericks honorary Ohioans, because those who stopped LeBron from winning are the real heroes.
You'll notice that this proclamation doesn't actually mention LeBron James. It does contain this:
"Whereas, NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Dirk Nowitzki chose to re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks in the summer of 2010, forgoing free agency and keeping his talents in Dallas, thus remaining loyal to the team, city and fans for whom he played his entire career."
The proclamation is not legally binding, and the Mavericks will not be given official residency. But if Dirk wants to spontaneously impregnate much of the state, like he did for South Florida last night, I'm sure that would be welcome.
Classy.
I think that the "taking my talents to..." line is going to be rubbed on LeBron's face for the rest of his career.
Maverick DeShawn Stevenson's shirt :lol:

Oh and, fuck the ipad's auto correction on typing. How can it think that "anyine" should be "a yine" and not "anyone"? Piece of junk.

Thats good except Dirk doesnt have small hands.
Q: What mathematical concept is illustrated by the following: the Olympic Flag; the Audi trademark; Ringling Brothers Barnam and Bailey Circus; a married couple; Frodo; Lebron James.
A: Each item on the list has one less ring than the item before it.
:lol: Harsh.
Anyways, rather than start a new thread I'll put this here.
If I was Cleavland I would definitely pick Williams 1st, and then take the best point guard that was left with the 4th pick. Williams just seems like the best player in the draft to me.
