    Was trout fishing all day...got home and saw the Celtics blew out the Cavs...held James to 15 pts....pretty impressive way to start their finals

    I’m impressed. When I see my coworkers on Mondays I have a hard time sharing what I did on the weekend!

    Uhhhh, that's pretty impressive if it is accurate. Not just who missed but how and when.

    Like seriously I don’t see it, and I’m not a Lebron hater or whatever. I just don’t see how recalling what happened two hours earlier is all that impressive. I guess we can be impressed by different things though. *shrugs*.

    Doesn’t take away from Lebron being one of the best players ever.

    Long, fast paced game. If he was right about everything that is better than 99 percent of the population could do.

    Fans screaming, running full speed. Just paying attention to the clock would be more than most people could do while trying to play.

    The thing is he is a professional athlete, all those things are just "normal" for him, because he's dedicated his mind and body to basketball.
    Just like most people that are dedicated to their career's and are focused on it, the mind can do incredible things when it needs to. I don't find someone remembering what happened two hours ago at work, all that impressive no matter the circumstances.

    Sure most people couldn't be a professional basketball player and that's impressive in and of itself, but I am just not all that impressed by the fact his memory was working today. I've heard stories of Lebron and other athletes who remember games play by play from like a decade ago and that's impressive, but the same day remember the start of the game, doesn't do much for me.

    I think Boston needs to win one road game and the Cavs are a different team at home so it will be tough. I would not be confident of a young Celtics team pulling out a game 7 victory, even though it is a home game.

    It's not just things. It's the time each thing occurred. Can you accurately describe what you did by the second for 2 minutes 2 hours ago? Go. What were you doing at 7:21pm. Don't just say "on the computer." Describe in detail.

    This isn't at all what Lebron was asked though, he wasn't asked what happened 2 hours ago, he was asked what happened. as I wasn't looking at a clock at 7:21pm, I don't know, but I can recall that at 4:04 (I looked at a clock so I could sign into work), I got on visual studio, and began working on code for work, the code is a coordinate system for the robot were developing, and I worked on 4 functions, workSpacePose(working on bugs), workSpacePlane(testing and writing), workSpaceBoundaries(testing and writing, and forceFeedBack(not finished, in beta as I figure it out), I remember what was in the code and what wasn't. At about 6, I stopped and played with my kids for a while posting on here every once in while. I don't believe I saw the clock turn 7:21 though. It's not that impressive to remember things that happened and the order they happened when it wasn't that long ago, that's my point. Lebron didn't describe everything he did by the second, he described a series of events. I bet you can recall a series of events from this afternoon pretty accurately too.

    I've done so many shameful things in my life that I could write a book about it. The good part is that each time I learned something about myself and strive to never repeat those acts. And yet those memories still bother me.

    I guess that's one way to grow.

    I wish to hell I could take back the many mistakes that I made that soured the lives of others. At least I'm back in church and trying to do the right thing.

    You better revise your prognostication for the Cleveland-Boston series.

    He should.

    As one of the only people who has picked Boston to win (in the poll in this thread), I'm gonna stick with mine. Let's go Celtics!

    There might have been a few who thought that way. Nothing wrong with being an unabashed fan.

    Okay. He did mention times though. Like 2 seconds left on the clock. I could not remember exact series of events.
