http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=15305011 TL;DL Dan says that the media hate for Dwight perpetuates itself and he is treated unfairly, Kobe is a sociopath who used his platform to shyt on Dwight; Outside of basketball most people would want to hang out with someone with Dwight's kind personality rather than Kobe's sociopathic one; Kobe is proud of having no friends Almost mind boggling to hear a member of the media say something not-negative about the Rockets, Dan also went at Shaq on behalf of us saying that Shaq wasn't the greatest leader to be accusing Harden of lacking leadership skills
Yeah, I clicked on it when you listed it on the other thread. It's a great listen for anyone interested.
Well anyone in the media can see the Rocket hate is out of control. It just depends if any one of them wants to admit it like Dan and get flack for it.
Yupp, conspicuously haven't gotten a response from that other guy Crazy that he is the only non Rockets reporter taking that stance, but I think he is exactly right.
Dan is highly highly respected in the sports world one of the best. Nobody would dare say anything bad about him he Knows what's up and can get an interview with anyone
How so? What have James and the organization done that are worthy of hate? What has Dwight done (or not done) that makes him above your hatred?
You should have got sick of your own schtick by now (God knows I have) because it's really, really tiresome. Probably anything less than landing Kevin Durant this summer would leave you still unbelievably cynical and hateful. It's been a disappointing season to be sure but we have to clear out the detritus, the jacked-up agendas....but not Harden and not Morey.
Dwight deserves some criticism this season, especially in the 2nd half. At the same time, he's obviously declined a ton athletically and shouldn't be expected to average 20+ points with like 3 bpg. His first two years here Dwight was phenomenal, but was still getting the same criticism he's getting today for whatever reason.
Love how even after Dan laid out his point perfectly with perfect logical sense all those dudes said was "Nope."
nothing wrong with Dwight's personality if anything, he understands it's just a silly game and doesn't get emotionally invested in winning, because it doesn't matter, he's already won the game of life many times over if you want to fault him for something, how about all the children he's fathered that he won't be around to raise?
Is this even true? Does he really not father them? He's not apart of their lives at all? He abandoned them at conception? He doesn't know they exist, but you do know they exist? Are you one of those children? Is Dwight your father? Genuine questions. Is Dwight a deadbeat father because he has kids or are you just assuming he's a deadbeat father because he has kids?
They really do point out how useless sports commentary can be. His point was a good one, All big men like to be fed the ball or they get detached from the game. Lebatard's show rocks didnt think you guys would be a fan of his because of Stugotz "shut up JJ Watt" bit they do every week. (Not everybody gets the inside jokes.)
But do you? Is it not enough for you guys to have your own stance on something, that you need to find podcasts, articles, and corral members to agree with you, as if their opinions automatically turns your opinion into a fact? ------ So I don't like Harden's more than occasional lackluster effort on D. I don't need anyone to agree with me or some media members with similar opinion to validate what I think, because it's just my opinion, but apparently you can't really have those. Except that I can, because I can also think for myself.
Ok guys listen, no one is out to get the Rockets or Howard or Harden or anyone for that matter. The fact is the team disappointed this season so that's what people will talk about when put on the spot to talk about this team. It's the Rockets storyline for this season, get used to it. The reason why you feel that the Rockets get more criticism than other teams is because you're more sensitive to notice people talking about this team because of your affiliation with it. You're actively looking for Rockets related news and that's what you'll find. The problem with Dwight is that he is one of the most physically gifted players of all time, yet he fails to capitalize on it because of his lack of understanding of the game and his inability to improve his weaknesses. This paired with his take it easy personality makes it seem as if he doesn't care enough to work on his game, or maybe he doesn't really give enough effort when he's working on improving. That's the message he sends out with his personality and body language. That's what the media will propagate and perpetuate. All I'm saying is, stop giving a **** what's reported and what's not and think for yourself. TLDR: The major Rockets news this season is they suck. You're actively searching for Rockets related news, which is that they suck.
