I don't think it's a hate for the person, in real life. I don't know Aldridge personally. I think when someone says that they hate a player, they're talking about the player as a character in the TV show that is NBA basketball. For most fans, these guys are larger than life. They hate the basketball player, but not so much the man. It's like saying you hate a character in a book, or a movie. "Oh, I hate that guy!" If someone feels an all-consuming hate for LaMarcus, they need to take a step back.
WTF!!!! Sly said you weren't posting anymore to maintain the mojo!!!!! Are you going south on our Blazers????
After Game 1, he asked me when I'd come back. I said "screw it, might as well" so I came back before Game 2. We won Game 3 and almost won Game 2 so I get to stay
This goes for most things that don't have person to person contact. Just look at Kings post about HCP. He was mad at HCP, not John.
Reminds me of a man I saw on BART Saturday, he looked JUST like the guy on the latest Law & Order SVU who raped a teen model. And I thought "ick", then realized of course the guy on SVU did not actually rape the young woman, he was just an actor who pretended to do so. And was no doubt acting "creepy" for the show, he could have been perfectly nice in real life.
A truly great actor can definitely do that. Must be tough to be that good, but have people have this visceral reaction when they see you. There's that story that Anthony Hopkins wife left him after he played Hannibal because she couldn't get the image out of her head. I don't know if that's true or not.
Martha Stewart dated Sir Anthony Hopkins, but ended the relationship after she saw The Silence of the Lambs. She stated she was unable to avoid associating Hopkins with the character of Hannibal Lecter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Stewart
Well said. The only time I met LMA he was very nice to my kid - and he did give us many years of great games. I will continue to cheer for him anytime he does not play the Blazers. To be fair however, seen the last Spurs game - and their offense which was so beautiful and free-flowing all the time 2 years ago - seems to go in out of beautiful ball movement to slow-down pound the rock and boring at times - and part of it is their need to feed LMA.
That's gotta be extremely frustrating as an actor..... you do such a good job that people can't stop hating you.
"Oh damn, Martha Stewart hates me, whatever will I do?" I'm sure he did/does just fine. Also I'm sure there are some women who are interested in him just because he was Lecter.
Reminds me of Michael Caine's quote about his role in Jaws 2: “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”
Whoops. To be fair, I haven't seen the movie, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the likes the post gave me, and they are terrific.
It is bad. You are rescuing 90 minutes of your time by doing so. I watched it because as a kid we watched everything back in the 80's. There was no internet at that time. We had our bicycles, video games, movies, and sports (when it wasn't raining).
Believe me, I was there in the 80's too... Mom's napping on the couch at 2pm on a Sunday, and the only thing on is Rock & Rule...
You got watch tv on a weekend? My father took over the tv. That was his time. It was tuned to either Western Theater or NFL.
Dad was usually painting (like art) on the weekends; that was his job. They were doing a crazy 24-hour-a-day schedule where they microslept for half an hour several times a day. It was interesting for the kids though because there were long swaths of our weekends that were completely unsupervised.
