OT - Heat Could Be in Big Trouble

[3rdbass]

I know this happens a lot but ever since Lebron was a baby about shaking DH's hands after they lost to the Magic he just seemed like a big baby. Now that he pulled that with Miami to try to win I definitely feel that is his character. Lebron is just a big sore loser who has no respect for the game. He and Kobe can sucks each other's dick for all I care. LOL. I'm a MJ fan if you can't tell. Haha.

My pity for NBA players is pretty much confined to issues like injuries and illnesses. Not an ounce of pity for not winning a game, not winning a ring as expected.

On the other hand, NBA players will be vilified for anything, on or off the court.

Just 5 combined free throws for Wade and LeBron is remarkable.

 

[Frank Ivy]

To the guy who said he doesn't understand why people don't like LeBron, seriously man? I mean, the guy is a great basketball player, but he's just a long, uninterrupted chain of moves, and hardly a 2 month stretch goes by without him doing or saying something that just makes him seem douchy.

Two posters above listed things he did.

I'll add these: Guy wears a head band as an adornment. It's just stupid. Guy does this "look at me" stupid thing before games clapping dust in the air. Wow. Knock it off. Just play ball. Magic, Bird, Jordan - these guys didn't need headgear and schtick to get the job done. Guy had a college kid dunk on him at a summer camp type thing, and his Nike people, IIRC, go into the stands and start confiscating cameras. Just incredibly douchy.

I have sympathy for the guy because he's been famous since he was what? 14? 15? I can't imagine how that impacts your development as a human being.

Regarding Cleveland and "the decision," I have no issue with him getting out of Cleveland. Who would want to play there? But the whole made-for-TV drama was just stupid, and again, a big "look at me" grasp for attention.

We're all looking now LeBron. Time to step up.

I would love to see a Pacers-Thunder final. Exciting teams,great fans and really rockin' home courts. Two young,hungry teams; and, in both cases, a fan base that seems to involve the entire states of Indiana and Oklahoma. Here are some articles from the Miami Herald.

It ain't pretty
We thought the trophy was ours

GO HUSKIES!!!

Obviously, the two best players in this series play for the Heat. But depending on how good you think Mario Chalmers is (he admittedly played really well last night), how far down the Pacers roster do you have to go before you get to somebody who wouldn't be the third best player on the Heat right now? Hibbert, Granger, and West are givens and you could at least make the argument for Collison, Paul George, and George Hill too. So, at the very least, 6 of the best 9 (if not 8) players in this series play for the Pacers.

 

[Lefty2one]

Why do people hate LeBron? Because he does stuff like THIS (notice it's while the damn game is going on).

He's a mental midget, he's about as mentally weak of a superstar as I've ever seen in any sport. He gets frustrated so easily, when the going gets tough he starts screaming at teammates, stops playing as hard and just goes in the tank. He did it against Boston during his last season in Cleveland, against Dallas last year in the Finals. He did it in Game 4 against the Knicks this year.

And of course he has the ultimate attention-whore, "look at me!" attitude. Most stars have it to a certain degree but LeBron seems like he's more concerned with impressing people than winning games. Anyone who watched Bird, Magic, MJ, Kobe etc can tell pretty easily that this guy is basically a phony. But as someone else said, he's been a pampered baby his entire life so it's no surprise that he's the person he is. He's never had to overcome any adversity or really work that hard.

He pulls The Decision, fakes his apology for it and then has a gigantic championship-level celebration with Wade and Bosh before they ever even play a game together, talking about how they're going to win six titles. He's just a .

I didn't say people shouldn't hate Lebron you non reading a**clowns. I'm talking about people saying how much they hate Lebron while giving Wade a pass, while Wade is the one delivering forearm shivers to Rip, flagrant fouling Kobe Bryant in an All Star game and breaking his nose, ddt'ing Rondo and dislocating his elbow, Terry Tate'ing Collinson on a fastbreak just because he didn't get a call(deservedly so) on the other end, trying to punk his coach in a huddle...need I go on? Oh, and DWade was the one actually making fun of Dirk for being sick, Bron was just being the follower that he is and went along with it. But yea Lebron is evil and HGH Wade is just being corrupted and having his mind warped by Bron Luther.

Actually I think Jordan invented the talcum clap in the air as a way to needle the on-air announcers, otherwise I think the reasons for LeBron dislike are pretty clear although in the scheme of things its kind of like the Shaq dislike - guy was self-promotional but compared to serious crimes/transgression by athletes the hatred is out of whack.

Meanwhile I agree that Wade is behaving like a punk/bully and he gets a pass either cuz he has the 1 championship or his baby face and well spoken qualities. He's had at least half a dozen cheap hard fouls that I've seen in this year's playoffs and definitely injured Rondo in last years. That forechecking push foul on the breakaway that someone linked to ought to have been a flagrant 2 (it was game 2) as there was no play on the ball whatosever.

The hubris of the three of them counting their championships seems to grow. Rest of the league has to enjoy beating the 3 guys that presumed they would automatically beat every other player/team.

Lebron hatred is mainly one thing, jealousy. I don't necessarily like the guy, but the reasons people "hate" him are not reasons to hate somebody.

 

[JaYnYcE]

I blame Mr. Oriaki for Miami's troubles.

 

[Waquoit]

Actually, it was Mr. Fuji.

 

[freescooter]

If LeBron played baseball, Steinbrenner would have had a name for him...Mr. May. Afraid to take a big shot at the end of big games. Can you imagine Jordan or Bird or Magic or Havlichek or any of the greats passing the ball with the game on the line?

 

[JaYnYcE]

Not true, I hate him for going to the Greenwich Boys and Girls Club, signing one basketball and taking off. I hate him for going to the Greenwich Boys and Girls Club, 20 minutes from the Knicks practice facility and saying he was going to Miami, a team that historically (next to the Pacers and the Bulls) is the biggest rivalry of the Knicks. I hate him for flopping and having the refs in his pocket. There are plenty of reasons to hate Lebron if you're a Knick fan. I hope they never win another game this post season. Go Pacers!! And for a Knick fan to say go Pacers you know how much I hate the Heat.

You remind me of many of my clients. It's this sort of demonstrated inability to reason that ends up forcing people like you to pay people like me.
"Hate," as used in this thread, doesn't mean hate like rival gangs. It means "hate" in the sense of don't like the guy. As in, "don't be hating on me." It's absurd of you to suggest that anybody actually hates the man. It's equally absurd that people defend this guy's clownish behavior.

 

[HeGotGame]

What has lebron done? Is that a joke? Let's see the decision. Not four not five not six not seven... Faking an injury in the playoffs. Whatever happened with that injured elbow? Completely mailing it in against Orlando and Boston in the playoffs. Referring to himself in the third person. I spoil people with my play. Calling himself King without ever winning anything. Completely sucking in the 4th quarter in the finals last year and blowing it for his team. Oh did I mention the decision. Shall I go on?

He should play soccer, he is the biggest flopper in the league. It makes me sick

Lol. You don't have to imagine, just look up the time that Jordan passed to John Paxson and Steve Kerr. When the ball goes in the basket, nobody second guesses.

 

[Scoe]

I think the "decision" was more Lebron's PR people then his own, I do see a different side to lebron's demeanor this year. As a knicks fan I dislike Wade more then Lebron, I think he is the most overrated player in the NBA on and off the court. Ever since he won his championship he hasnt carried his team at all in the playoffs, and lets not forget the 06 NBA finals were officiated by Donaghy, Wade had a veteran team in Miami that was starphucked by guys like Shaq, Mourning, Payton, etc. He is injury prone, and he did go through a pretty nasty divorce. He gets the Tom Brady treatment from the media. Im not saying he isnt a top 5 player he is just overrated.

 

[Scoe]

Lol. You don't have to imagine, just look up the time that Jordan passed to John Paxson and Steve Kerr. When the ball goes in the basket, nobody second guesses.

But he was aggressive in the 4th quarter and that pass to both Kerr and Paxson he was driving to the basket (reacting to the defense) instead of just dribbling at the top of the key like Lebron is known to do, heck your 6'8 240 use that to your advantage no one will stop you.

those are great snippets, HeGot. Did Lebron go to Duke at some point?

King Flop.

What exactly is an a**clown? I'm getting this disturbing visual of some guy in a thong with clown make-up and a red nose on his butt. The Boneyard version of The Joker perhaps?
The Urban Dictionary( http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=assclown) actually has a definition. Yikes! AND, for those of you who(like me) like to have several choices for your imagination we can start with this

and for the sake of variety you actually have quite a few selections. Hey, it's Friday and we all know "variety is the spice of life" so here we go............

It's "Pick and Choose Friday"

I was quite surprised that you can actually go to school for this.

You're wrong, people actually do hate Lebron

 

[3rdbass]

Nobody hates the guy! Why would they unless they are a Cleveland Cavilers fan. LOL. They just hate his spoiled attitude when he hasn't won anything. I mean MJ and KB might be spoiled but at least they respected the game before they actually started winning. I never saw MJ or KB not shake hands after a tough series or be he king of flops. Neither one would have a stupid spectacle like LBJ had going to Miami. He just needs to win a title before he can act like a spoiled kid. I guess the kid really never has grown up unfortunately. He doesn't strike me as the smartest person in the world compared to both MJ and KB. I liked LBG starting out but not I just think he has gotten too full of the damn hype. Win something before you act like a fool!

People don't hate him they just have lack of respect for him.
