OT: GO SPURS GO !!!

[CallMeBruce]

I do like that about him, and I do like watching him play. And yes, he is the best player in the league (sorry KD & TD*). He's definitely grown as a player, both skill and maturity wise over his career. You can't say that about every guy.

I will hold on to my assertions that he is a dooche off the court. Not a bad guy at all, but a dooche. Also, I don't like the flops in the least.

*TD does not get enough props in those conversations. IMO, best power forward to play the game. Dirk, at his peak, was up there too. Amazing to have both those guys playing at the same time.

You could make a pretty good argument that, at one point, the five best power forwards in history were all in the league together. In the late 90s, after Dirk, Duncan, and Garnett got in, before Barkley and Malone retired. That's probably my top-5.

I'd probably throw McHale in there too, but you make a good point.

Side note, one of the reasons that I don't like Miami is that many of their fans are d!ckwads (not speaking of yourself). They are like the worst part of the Laker fans (the "want to be seen" crowd) multiplied by a factor of 2+.

I get what you mean...

But at the same time if South Park drew a cartoon of the average LeBron hater, it wouldn't be much better, IMHO. Maybe Kenny's Dad or the "You Kin Giiiit Ouuut" guy. The only people I give a free pass to are Cavaliers fans, and there's like fifty of them.

was a Rough Game #2.
I don't complain about the Refs usually.
But....

Hopefully they can Win 1 of the next 2, in Miami.


GO SPURS GO !!!!!

That's the people you can see on TV.. the 300 and 400 levels are the diehards who can't afford decent seats and those are the "real" fans. I went to Games 3 and 5 in Miami in 2o12 vs OKC and I was in the 400 level.. it's a good atmosphere in the playoffs

And the FT attempts were virtually equal as well.. and that's rare because Miami pretty much NEVER wins the FT battle against championship caliber teams (yet somehow the refs are helping them)

MUST WIN 2NITE.

GO SPURS GO !!!!!

they may have committed 20 fouls each but there were a lot of missed calls and wrong calls.

All these "LeBron-ing" memes going around are going to look pretty hilarious when he's hoisting his third straight championship trophy

bump

It's a shame really.. There's a decent chance that this is the best player (or at least one of the best 2) that any of us will see in our lifetime. But I guess you have to keep in mind that people talked bad about MJ too.. until they couldn't anymore

I agree, but will add that seeing him and Duncan on the floor together was historic. Two of the best 10 players to have played the game. Sure he's surrounded by good talent but Duncan needs to write a book, he was hustling his ass off at his age, outplaying Bosh and all the other youngsters that were in his way. Even Shaq gave him ultimate props this year. Just a great, great player.
