Sounds right. You could tell when they blew the whistle he didn't know what to call. Getting it right in the end is the important thing though. [Reply]

The NBA is nothing without superstars and Lebron is the ultimate superstar aside from Jordan
You're a fairweather NBA fan then which is fine just don't act like you are not biased when talking about LeBron. It's impossible for a fan of a 'player' to be objective when talking about that player. Now if you were say a hardcore fan of a team other than the Cavs or Heat then I'd take your and KCC posts more seriously.
I will say even though I am not a fan I'm loving watching LeBron play right now just like you are. He's on fire and it is a beautiful to watch. I'll give you that. [Reply]

Would you want NFL refs reviewing on instant replay a pass interference call in the final 30 seconds of the Super Bowl? [Reply]

That's not exactly the best work environment LeBron has created. Posted via Mobile Device
Yeah, I read the recap in the paper today. No mention of how LeBron disappeared in overtime but plenty of ink about his 51 points. [Reply]

I'm not shy about giving Lebron shit when he deserves it. But why should that matter when he did basically everything he was supposed to and then some to seal an unwinnable game in regulation? It's not practical to expect Lebron to have the energy to win OT games after that kind of 38% usage rate.
There is no way anyone in any shape or form should pin this loss on Lebron. Not even a little bit. [Reply]

Makes more sense to be a fan of an individual athlete than laundry IMO [Reply]
It gets lost in all of the talk about JR Smith’s dumb play and George Hill’s missed free throw, but Kevin Love had a bad play down the stretch too.
His soft foul on Curry’s layup gave Golden State the lead late. Love isn’t a shot blocker. He either needs to let Curry go or foul him hard enough to make sure he can’t get the shot up.
If the game is tied going into that final possession, Cleveland likely wins. [Reply]

I especially admire it when superstars do it because it shows their competitiveness and loyalty.
I doubt you'd be saying this if Patrick Mahomes decided to bolt when his contract is up so don't give me that 'LeBron has no reason to make long-term commitment' bullshit. Cavs drafted and did everything he wanted when he returned. If he decides to leave again fine but loyalty is great. It's one reason I respect Westbrook more than Momma's boy Durant.

Fair-weather? That's not my fault. The weather's always fair for a Lebron fan [Reply]
