Can we talk about Lebron's hair transplant scars, what was he thinking?

 

[Walker11]

It's not 2-3. He's done it like 7-8 times. The clear block on Durant. Goes nuts. He was posting somebody up. Ball went through his hands. Didn't get touched. Go nuts.

Of course he gets fouled but he does it on every single call.

This is what he is known for. It bothers the hell out of me. I don't see how someone could deny it. Him, CP3 and Gasol are the 1st three that come to mind when I think of guys who can not stop complaining.

 

[husky429]

Guy gets hammered going to the rim virtually every drive. Too funny.

This game? Durant, with 2 fouls, hits him in the forehead with an obvious foul, but LeBron power dunks on him.

No Call. Would have been 3 on Durant.

Game, Set, Match.

Durant stays in the game and spear heads the 15-0 run or whatever it was that salts the game away.

Too funny NBA.

People don't seem to realize that LeBron gets fouled CONSTANTLY. I don't even really have an opinion on the guy as a player (as a person he's actually a great guy).

He flips a lot in transition, but driving to the rim he just gets hammered. He's so strong he doesn't get called as much because he works through it almost every time


Edit: And golden State gets shots out of that fight? Come on... west STARTED IT. outrageous refs.

Edit 2: a lot of older guys say that 90s and 80s ball was more physical. I watch old games A LOT and they are dead wrong. This league is brutal right now--injuries are in the rise. Part of the reason why there are few traditional centers is because that style of play can't work anymore. Kareem, hakeem etc. Are ddifferent...

That was the correct call. Techs for West, Thompson and the idiotic JR Smith equals a free throw for Golden State.

 

[JSM1970]

Golden State is so unlikeable.

Curry is a punk, KD is a joke loser who had to join a super team to win because he failed everywhere on his own and Draymond is a thug.

I like Klay and want C's to trade for him.

 

[Mr. French]

They better shut their yaps until they win, until then they're just loud mouths angering the king.

Soft, fake tough guy acts get called out by Lebron.

 

[MadDogRevival]

Its not just him but he does more consistently than anyone in the last 25 years and never seems to get t'd.

Well, being a top 3 player might have something to do with the leeway. Lol.

In the NBA, this is not a foul. Too much!:

It's a stupid call imo. It's correct, but not a good rule by the league. Why get a tech for defending your teeammate (Thompson, not the moron JR)

 

[kobe]

If an alien dropped down to earth even he'd know David West went to Xavier.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Others just look crosseyed at the refs and the T comes

Klay Thompson gets called for a weak/ possibly phantom call and he just shakes his head. Keeps to himself.

It's not just the frequency of it. It's how demonstrative he is every time. You're the best player in the world. Does you really need to flop and whine at the refs as much as he does.

Possibly all true. But none of that relates to/refutes what I said, which is that Lebron whines and goes nuts at every single call.

Because the league doesn't want all hell breaking loose everytime guys get riled up. You have to have some controls in place to prevent fights from breaking out.

Well have to agree to disagree on this one, I think.

wait, what?

He probably saw Wayne Rooney

 

[Walker11]

What is the confusion here? Have you not noticed that Lebron will have a perfect hair line one year, and then look nearly bald the next, and on and on.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Can we also talk about how absolutely AWFUL Tristan Thompson has been? Doesn't look remotely like a basketball player right now.

I had not noticed that. I don't spend a lot of time examining his hair. Thanks for telling me. Interesting that someone with his life experience would worry about that. I doubt there are many people concerned about how his hair looks.

It works both ways.

Lebron bullies his way to the hoop and stiff arms guys with his left hand all the time too. And it's never called.

His hair is widely discussed (and mocked). People with bad hair definitely notice other people with bad hair. KD will be joining the bald club pretty soon, as well. Congrats on your good hair.

I think you're mistaking that mostly with him just being so much stronger than any player guarding him.

Tom Brady, Urlacher.

 

[NielsisGood]

Kind of disappointed at Lebron's lack of willingness to pick up Durant on D on both a personal and a giving his team the best chance of winning level.

 

[superjohn]

JR Smith and Pachulia keeping Cavs in the game.

 

[Walker11]

The defensive execution this quarter fro the Cavs has been putrid. They are going to get wiped in the 4th if they can't fix this.
