Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Glitch]

It’s the bronsexuals that make everyone dislike LeBron. They like to argue that he is the goat but consistently move the goal posts to justify why he is. If they weren’t so loud, I think people would hate on LeBron as much.

I would still hate him, because he is a whining flopping little ***** that makes excuses instead of owning the losses along with the victories.

Now ESPN is talking about LeBron to the Knicks as a possibility. Every time things don't go the way he wants, he runs off to a new team. *****.

Lol

On top of that he carried the ball

Look. Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think. I will say players move around too much in the NBA and it reduces the appeal of the product. Thus far, it's one reason I respect Giannis in Milwaukee (not gonna try to spell that last name).

So long as Aidoo doesn't cross our path, I'm fine wishing him well in a rather perfunctory manner. And if he were playing one of our rivals, I would root for him. But he's not a VFL. Lost his chance.

In the meanwhile, I'm happy that we apparently turned this circumstance to our advantage.

That is wild. Condolences and prayers for patience.

Thanks. Cracking up laughing and nearly falling out of my chair may have been inappropriate.

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?

Pretty simple.

1. He went hard into politics twice while having zero intuition or background to inform him on how to go about being a political commentor.

2. He has a grating personality. Every time he speaks it has a weird entitled patina to it. When he was 18, a great publicist could have done him some huge favors. I don't think he ever took that aspect of being the biggest superstar in the sport seriously. And he doesn't have any natural charisma.

I mean that's it. Statistically and personally he is pretty infallible. I doubt anyone will ever have the longevity he's had ever again.

Couldn't care less about the debate. Simply because people will look for whatever convenient stats they can find to discredit him. And there aren't that many at this point. These are people who haven't watched an NBA game since the 90s.

The fact is that we were debating LeBron vs Jordan as the GOAT 10 years ago. Well LeBron has been a top 5-10 player for the entire decade since then. What else is there to say...

Mike Trout probably out for season with knee surgery. Trout can't catch a break .

Mother-in-Law passed away at our house yesterday. Nothing sad. She is with Jesus. Signing some paperwork at the Funeral Home today for her cremation, my wife had to initial a paragraph stating she understood that cremation COULD NOT BE REVERSED. Is this just something for Alabama folks?

It's so like you to turn a grave moment into our chance to enjoy your great sense of humor. We all wish you and your entire family the best.

Yea, don't think he wants to go to New York. That media would chew LeBron up and spit him out.

They mean in New York.

Trout has such a good eye. Really likes to Reel em in, Lures them to sleep... Hook, Line, and Sinker. Loves to get a Rise out of em. Balls MayFly Rapidly out of the park. They Stream outta there. His Rainbow shots go far. If y'all think of any more trout puns let Minnow.

Jordan Beck gets a hit at his first MLB at bat. Update: he went 2 for 4 on the day.

 

[UTSuave’]

So why does that make teams not want to pursue him?

Deion criticized his work ethic and since then he’s struggled to find a team…but it’s Deion so anyone taking him at his word should also include a grain of salt

My condolences.



Also, that last sentence......

holy

 

[knoxvol52]

Good grief 4-4 top 4th.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And I thought his intention was to move closer to home. Not sure how this make sense for him.

They are all full of , it is ALL about a few more bucks...Zona thinks he is worth a little more than we did, so he took their money...goif for him I guess...I hope his career f'n rots and nobody ever remembers him.

He ain't a VFL, he didn't give a about us, so he ain't to me anymore...screw him.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The dude drove to the paint for 20 straight years lol. Not like he shot 3s and jump shots.

The other side is playing against mailmen and accountants. He would have clobbered those duds from the 80s and early 90s. Threw them aside like children.

He’s 5th all time in career 3 pt attempts though.
