Recruiting Football Talk VII

[mrMet]

It was the best series so far even tho it was 4-1. All close games. Lakers prob should have won it 4-1 themselves. They lead every game by double digits if I'm not mistaken?


I know they led a ridiculous amount of total time. Think Nuggets led a total of like 45 mins total all 5 games? That's crazy. LeBron did his thing and carried all he could. Yall LeBron haters just wanna overlook it. AD helped for the most part. The rest of the team blew balls like they normally did throughout the season. Reaves showed up last 2 games. DLo had his moments. The rest might as well stayed at home every game. NOONE is gonna beat the Nuggets with 2 players showing up. Not to mention Lakers coach wouldn't be a good high school coach much less an NBA coach. But yea its LeBrons fault. He should have scored 45-50 instead of having 30pt, 11assist, & 9 boards and 4 steals at 39 yall wild. MJ, Kobe, & LeBron all great players in their own way

Nuggets are a great TEAM that play very well together & have a good coach. They'll be a hard out. I'll take em over the Wolves in 6

Dude, wipe the spit from running down your face

Could say the same to you bout MJ or Kobe I'm just not a hater of a great bball player. Allen Iverson & Vince Carter are my all time favs but doesn't mean I can't give credit where it's due. Lol

Nobody here has said lebron isn’t great

Quality for your 103,177th post!

Keep counting, Templeton.

For all the Braves fans,last night was a heart breaking loss.

It’s baseball. Long season.

Never said noone has said that. I just mentioned the constant hating he gets. We get it ppl don't like him. I have my issues with him as well but noone can deny the talent on the court is all. We won't see another player like him in our lifetime.

That roster was better than people realize.

Lamar Odom was a great 6th man, Derek Fisher hit big shots and ran the triangle offense beautifully.

Pau Gasol is a HOF player and Sasha was a great 3 point shooter.

Also Andrew Bynum was decent til his knee issues.

LeBron picked his coaches and teammates...

So hard to blame them and not have some fingers pointing back. That is my main complaint about trying to crown LeBron. He wants to control everything but be blamed for nothing. My 2 cents. There are certainly haters and apologists.

Keep counting, Templeton.

I mean it's not like it takes any effort.

 

[butchna]

Couldn’t use the tired old refs complaint since the Lakers shot 27 FTs compared to the Nuggets 9…and nobody fouled JOCIK even once!

How many parachute jumps could you have done with the time you take clicking on a poster’s profile? With the time you used to formulate the CURIOSITY of how much I post, you could’ve used it to formulate a strategy for you to lose your pesky virginity. Task management, Templeton. Learn it, know it…get laid.

This is because they played as a team and had a true leader. Unlike Lebron

The rosters are pretty comparable imo

They all pulled in the same direction, because their star was a force of nature assassin and not an aged stat sheet who’s never had that IT that defines GOAT.

This was also pre super team era - nobody was stacked outside of Boston.

Hedo Turkolu and Rashad Lewis were Orlando’s 2nd and 3rd options.

I don't have to click on them... beside every post it shows that information. Like as I'm reading your constant trolling I see your Messages go up.

Explain in your words how Kobe was a “true leader” but Lebron isn’t.

Too far, in my humble opinion. Labron had a terrific series and did drive the team. And, that last Cleveland title was absolutely driven by Lebron. Amazing what he's doing at 39.

Cal is loading up. Young talent + experienced vets. Interesting to see how it plays out.

I can't believe I have "seniority" over @butchna.

I'm 56 and I've followed American sports my whole life. I've never seen a great player so universally reviled as Lebron James. I really can't make sense of it. I know he has a big ego and made media missteps through the years. But come on -- Nobody has a bigger ego than Michael Jordan. Great players and leaders are wired like that.

He's a family oriented man who gives back to his community. He raised two sons with the same woman -- go read about the sexual exploits of 80's and 90's NBA stars.

Disclaimer: I'm a numbers-oriented person who thrives on player stats. I have many NBA/NFL/MLB records memorized. Statistically, Lebron just doesn't have an equal. His ranking in several categories is historic and may outlive us all. There's no reason to argue that point.

I need somebody to explain the hatred for this guy. What is it about Lebron that gets SO many people riled up?

They don’t win it without Ray Allen…HE had the IT. Stats have never been Bron’s issue. It’s the killer instinct at the end of a game. Kyrie Irving delivered for his Cleveland championship and 2020 was 2020. Weird trumps conventional.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Are most of you using mobile or something? I thought everyone just went to the website... and saw the full user info beside post.

Interesting.

What is it about him that makes his disciples demand more than his numbers already deliver?

And yours goes up in your hopeless endeavor to shame ME into not posting anymore. Don’t get yourself kicked off Match.com for inactivity, Templeton.
