what about when you didnt like Lebron? (might have been touched on previously in thread I'm just too lazy to look)
When I started to study different kinds of players, not just high-usage scorers, I gained a different perspective on the game. I started to pay attention to different things and this just caught my interest.
gotcha. Wondered what changed your mind. I remember you sitting right next to me on the Lebron hate bandwagon (for the record my hate for him has more to do with his attitude than his play... although I still wonder how his play will develop when his athleticism starts to decline)
Sure of course, you never have to give up who you like or don't like. No problem there. Portland is a great city imo, I get why you all like that team.
I would love to work for Miami, Portland, LA. ;] The earthquakes are the only thing I am not used to on the West Coast, I prefer Hurricanes over that to be honest. :O
Seriously? You doing advance stats had something to do with the Heat beating the Spurs? You seriously need to get the hell over yourself. I don't really think I need to study up to show that you're a troll. So, I should quit posting in the Blazers forum so that you can keep running your mouth about the Heat. Right on, dude. Thanks for the advice, but I like hanging onto things, if it's all the same to you. Once a Laker fan, always a Laker fan, I guess. Go Blazers
Do you understand English, that's not really what I said. I'm slick with words, read my response again. I didn't help beat anyone, I'm merely enjoying this discussion which is my creation. You're really sensitive, nope sorry I'm not a troll. Not that it matters, walk it off dude. Nope, I was referring to this thread. Don't post in this thread if you don't like to talk about repeat championship teams. You're not going to make me stop talking about the Heat in this thread. Your reading comprehension is poor.
congrats to lebron for finally getting to .500 in the finals, and to think he was a missed rebound and ray allen 3 pointer from being 1 for 4 (.250) best evarr
And Mario Chalmers' playoff statistics are better than the #2 guy on the 09 Cavs, so gtfo with that. 2013 Wade = Norris Cole as well. The goal is to get to the Finals every year, not lose early in the playoffs like other softer players. LeBron is 28 years old and has multiple Finals MVPs and better numbers, deal with that brah. Right because shooting 6/24 in your fifth title run is better than being the best player ever in the playoffs in 2009, but losing. What a clown argument. Yes my bad, Choking in the first round of the playoffs is also better than getting to the Finals and losing.
Oh yeah, Wade and Bosh were horrible and the Heat still won this season. People that base their evaluations on metrics will always be superior to ring-nuts. LeBron is a rebound and missed shot away from leading the 2009 Cavs into the Finals. And having even better stats, it goes both ways. Tony Parker's game 1 shot was bullshit, the basketball gods owed us. ;]
ok what is the point of this thread? that you think lebron is good? and you somehow deserve credit for that??? wtf is your problem man
Just wanted to talk about the best sport in the world, I feel great, and that's pretty much it. I only make one thread a year like this, don't worry.
This is the tip I gave another poster for if he wanted to seem to be as big a moron as a Laker fan: Here's what you said. So, yes, I understand english. Thanks for asking. Going to another team's forum to crow about your team winning, and spewing your hero being the greatest bullshit, is the very definition of a troll. I think you are mistaking sensitivity for contempt. Walk what off? Well, me posting in it is almost as stupid as you creating it, so I guess I have to own that. But, I don't think you get to decide who posts in your little jock sniffing fest. Do you still have one of Kobe's? Why would you think I'm trying to stop you from doing anything? I find bandwaggoners entertaining. Despicable, but entertaining (if you push their buttons a little.) Maybe it's because you are so deep. Go Blazers
When MJ won his 2nd championship his teammates combined for 3 all-star appearances. LeBron's teammates this year combined for 30. Jordan won 6 rings in 12 seasons. LeBron has won 2 in 10. LeBron pretty much choked game 6 and was saved by Ray Allen, Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili.
And WS/48 buddy. Keep living in the medieval era. When MJ won his second title he had a .216 WS/48 and his teammates played much better than Dwyane Wade. Dwyane Wade and Norris Cole played at a comparable level. Chris Bosh had zero points in game 7, nice try. LeBron was 18,19,20 years old. Sorry but LeBron is much more athletic than Jordan and a better jumpshooter. Does Jordan do anything better than LeBron except free throws? LeBron's best season statistically came in season 10, Jordan's best season was season 7. LeBron didn't go to college your comparison is pointless. And LeBron's game score for the series was 22, Jordan is a ballhog and still can't do that in 1992. Jordan choked with his 18 game score against the Knicks in his second title run. He should have lost that year easily. He didn't have to face the Spurs that round. LeBron scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, and owned Jordan statistically when he was with the Cavs. 2009 is the greatest season of all time. LeBron's 2013 season is better than Jordan's 88 season as well, keep trying to come at me your stats are weak.
Looking at basketball-reference and listing off stats does not make you knowledgeable about basketball. It makes you look like a tool. I've found that the people on the internet that do this the most usually know the least about basketball. Looks like you fit right in that category.
Define "something" "to" "do". My vague response was sufficient to address your stupid attack on me. "something to do" means various things. If I talk about your uneducated hatred for the Heat I have "something to do" with your life as well. I'm vaguely contributing to your angst and overall "failure", whereas with the Heat I mildly contribute to their "success". Lol this is funny. A 7 year old troll? Come on now no one is buying that. I legitimately post here all the time now is my time to shine, for one thread, and you're whining. Walk it off. Spewing a different opinion is not trolling. A troll is more consistent. You are easily offended, I constantly let everything aimed at me slide. I am a legitimate poster here you're not entitled to a perfect environment of homogenous opinions. So what, keep posting. My point is valid you get what you sow. If you really hated talking about Miami so much then go away, you don't deserve anything else. International fans don't give a shit about American cities, and their communities. It is not a hard concept to understand. Also I "switched" in the rough times, it takes a lot more courage to do what I did against the world. By all means support Portland, it seems like a nice city to me. But it is indeed poor.
