    You “don’t think” he would say something like this? Strange battle to fight here. You don’t know WHAT he ever said, there was no media like today back then. Oh well. And punching your teammate no matter how you spin it is fucked up. No different than Draymond.

    It can and does. I think MJ made players around him better. For sure he was the Alpha Dog on the court. Kobe was similar.

    I'm not defending Jordan as a great teammate. I'm simply saying it's different.

    I don't think Jordan would put himself in a situation where he would have to defend himself like this.

    I simply said I'm not surprised that LeBron would say something like that.

    *Edit* I honestly can't believe people ride LeBron's jock like this. Lol.

    I simply say I'm not surprised, and his team of nurse maids have to come and help clean up his ass for him.

    You laker fans are pretty funny.

    Not sure that throwing your teammates under the bus in an interview qualifies as “good teammate” energy. Whether legitimate or not, a better team mate would accept responsibility themselves rather than throw others under the bus, even if it is largely the fault of said teammates.

    There’s difference between saying “we” have to be better, and “they” have to be better.

    I am not surprised but there is way more attention being paid to LeBron than to games.

    Completely incorrect. Do a bit more research on this one.

    Did you see the blowback to me being unsurprised about LeBron blaming his teammates?

    That was crazy. These Laker fans need to dial it back a bit...

    Hey how did your daughter’s hoops seasons end up? Did you update your thread and I didn’t see it?

    Good! Coach made her the starting PG about halfway through the season and then they got 5 of their 6 wins after that. Ended the season winning 2 out of 3 vs playoff teams who were playing for higher seeding.

    She was in the running for rookie of the year, but got beat out by a kid who played just about every minute of every game for a playoff team. Was in the running for defensive player of the year but lost out to the senior who was a 2 time (now 3 time) defensive player of the year for the #5 team in the country and conference champion.

    We didn't lose any seniors, so things are looking up. Should be right in the mix next year!

    Imagine paying nearly a thousand dollars to sit in terrible seats and drink $40 beers while you regret this life choice of ever paying that much to see a sporting event lol.

    Eh, a lot of people don’t care. If you’re paying for that you can probably afford it and not worry too much about the cost.

    I certainly can't afford to take my kids to Blazer games.
