    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (noballer07 @ Jun 27 2007, 04:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I don't think any of us can fully argue the effects of events and summer ball etc on a player's fatigue- we just don't know. All I know is that LeBron is a hell of an athlete and has bounced back from playing such an extended schedule in the past. You can look at his free throw stats and see it has gone down, but how do you know that that is attributed to fatigue? Being tired could even make him a better free throw shooter for all you know, it does for me at times. But, the fact is, even if he has been tired at the beginning of the season, look where they ended up- in the Finals. He had one of the best seasons of his career and he has made it to the promised land.</div>I mostly agree, IMO he was fatigued but it didnt slow him. I dont think it hurt him alot, but I do think he was tired cause of the hefty schedule of what he was playing. But I dont think it will ever hurt him too much in his career, remember the USA team has tons of stars so LeBron doesn't have to play that much at all.

    I think LeBron is a world class athlete, but that doesn't make him invincible. Hes going to get fatigued just like last season, but just like last season he will defiently recover and come on strong.

    Alright guys.... It's time to play Out of Bounds!!Day 4- Out of BoundsPro wrestler Chris Benoit was found dead in his Georgia home on Monday, right after he had murdered both his wife and kid. Reports say that Benoit had hung himself hours after the murders, and some steroids were found in his system, which may have inflicted the incident. It is still uncertain as to how fans will deal with this tragic story, and if the wrestling world can forgive this once upon a time champion. So guys, after seeing all of this unfold, are the fans of wrestling ever going to forgive Benoit and continue to honor him, or are the fans ready to boycott Benoit and the sport all together?? The bonus question will be, is it time for the WWE and WWF to take action and end steroid use among the players, or should the sport be left alone and continue entertaining fans like it's done for many years now?

    I say it should be banned. The steroid use obviously impaired his thinking, and he probably experienced a case of roid range, which cost the lives of his family. These guys don't need to be doing sterioids at all. It's all fixed anyway. Performance Enhancing Drugs have no part in ANY sport or entertainment. It's illegal in U.S law for a reason.

    I think wrestling fans are going to seperate his career from his personal life. As a wrestler, they will always honor him and think of him as a great wrestler, but I think as a person in real life they are going to be disgusted. As seen by fans on BBW, he was a star in the wrestling world and people are sad to see him go, as people on the outside looking in think different and think he shouldnt be honored at all because he committed a murder-suicide.In the last 10 years, 60 wrestlers under the age of 45 have died. This is a major problem, yet it would be difficult to oppose control on the WWE because its really not a sport, but an entertainment and these wrestlers sign up for this and they realize the risks. Saying that, I think the gonverment has to take action if the WWE doesn't, these are peoples lives here who are obviously in danger and many have already died, and people put themselves in these risks for just a entertainment aspect. If the goverment can intervene in the MLBs steriod problems, and even the porn industry aids issue(that they had a while back), they have to intervene in this for the safety of peoples lives.

    +4 for BluffCity... great post! :happy0144: What are your feelings on the whole situation? Do you guys as fans look at him in a disgusted way, or are you like BluffCity pointed out, do you separate his home life from his wrestling life and still respect him?

    I personaly dont like wrestling, so I dont know the volume of his popularity in the wreslting world, but I do know that if Michael Jordan did the same, I would never look at him in a honorable manner again...no matter what hes done on the court. I personaly cant seperate something like that from a persons career, it would make me sick...

    Like Bluff, I don't follow wrestling at all. But I agree with him, if anyone did this in the four major sports, I would dislike them no matter how good they were on the field/court.That's my final thought.

    The only stuff we would talk about is the controversial stuff, so hit up ESPN or whatever, they will have everything you need.
