    So AD gets a pass on not doing ANYTHING, because he hasn't had an all-star level teammate until this year, but Dame's had this team for roughly 2+ season now without LMA and gone 2nd round, 1st round, and now middle-of-pack playoff team. How is he worse than AD, who gets a pass? Are you saying CJ's that much better than Boogie? Aminu's better than Jrue Holiday? Eric Gordon? Huge-contract-earning Ryan Anderson? Tyreke?
    It was kind of tongue-in-cheek, as James has had a beef with Durant, did the aforementioned bedtime things, was in multiple fights that I remember, talked smack, and basically rode the coattails of Jordan at UNC and Magic in the NBA. As I said, the Bird/Magic-generation's Kyrie. ;)

    @BlazerWookee has a Koponen-signed Honka Espoo Playboy jersey, iirc....and one of LMA's shoes?

    Rich Cho bought me and my wife pizza. The baby didn't eat.

    I'm guessing he means that Dame scores a lot but hasn't come anywhere near contending for a championship. Similar to Kyrie without LeBron.

    Way to jump to conclusions. I’m not saying better or worse fair or not that’s what the attitude is nationally and I’m saying he gets a pass for that and for injuries. Boogie is head and shoulders better than cj and that’s why expectations were different this year. I think people understood that New Orleans was a dumpster fire and expectations for success were super low however everyone you just listed would be the 3rd best player on our team imo. The ceiling on their team is much much higher than ours and the fact that dame doesn’t get more credit for even the modest success the team has had is criminal but thems the breaks sometimes.

    It's Petteri's summer league jersey. And it was a pair of LMA's shoes, bith signed. Plus, the pizza was fantastic...

    You're falling for the glitzy Hollywood Showtime provided by Worthy and Magic, so loved by the media. But they won because silent Jabbar did all the dirty work.

    Funny you should use the word "motor." Look at all these posters who used the word "engine" for Kareem.

    National media loves Dame but they hate Portland. So they're going to keep talking shit until he leaves.

    Jrue Holiday had just been an All Star when he came to play with A Davis.

    Who said Jabbar wasn't good? That whole team was great. And Big Game James was the real deal.

    Kyrie is pissed someone compared him to Lillard. Or someone left a globe on his doorstep.
