    Yeah, I said that because you were getting sensitive with every little post someone was posting about LeBron negatively.

    Sorry, no. That's you. I compliment Kobe for what he does, but I don't usually care for what people say about Kobe. Funny how you call me a nut hugger, you're doing what defines nut hugging right now by responding to anyone who criticizes LeBron. I do bash LeBron, I don't like him. Same way people bash Kobe, but that's just their hate for him... I have no problem with that.

    Your post wasn't very objective IMO, so in disagreement yes I said stop defending him and think about what everyone was saying instead of overlooking it all. Believe it or not, I was enjoying LeBron performance and as a basketball fan I would've wanted him to take the last shot because it would've just been proper since he took over the game.

    I'm interested to know why I'm a clown though, can you please tell me why?

    How is this not objective? It clearly states he was smart to pass the it but passed it to the wrong guy which means I'm also blaming him for the turnover.

    I'm still looking for the post of me quoting attacking everyone who bashed him. I'm done with this petty back and forth with someone like you though. I'll just stick to debating basketball with folks who actually know what they are talking about.

    lol. I'm sorry you disagree with what I have to say.

    FWIW, I change my opinion of teams all throughout the year. I said Philly, Boston, or Chicago would beat them in the playoffs... but as of late with the way they're playing, I don't see anyone beating them.

    You haft to remember these guys are in their 20's and have millions of dollars. They'v been playing basketball their whole life and never worried about much else (Most not all) so they're bound to be childish and straight up stupid about ***** sometimes.

    What was Kobe like at the age of 26? Dude is just a grumpy old guy who can still ball.

    I'm talking about playoffs and putting a team on your back in the last moments of a game. At least Derrick tried to win the game in the series vs. the Heat, we all know LeBron would've passed that shot because he's scared to fail. Derrick played outta his mind to beat the Heat and tried everything possible when the game was on the line. And stop jumping on LeBron for containing Rose, if you guys didn't realize, the guy is 6'8/6'9 and one of the most athletic players in the world, it's easy for him to defend a 6'4 PG if he wants to. At least Rose didn't back down from the challenge. We all saw how LeBron was frightened to go vs. Kobe in the All-Star game and didn't attempt a shot anymore. Rose would never back down from anyone and play his heart out to win.

    I never saw that determination in LeBron in elimination games(let's say since his last or 2nd last year in Cleveland), he always disappeared in the final moments.

    Regular season doesn't show if you have the fire, Bron will go down as one of the guys with the best regular season stats in NBA history, but that doesn't mean **** when no one respects him in clutch situations. Why do all these guys play mind games with him? Cause they know it hits him and he will likely fail. No one would talk trash to Kobe, Durant. Dirk or Rose in a crucial series or when the game is on the line. That's what seperates these guys from Bron.

    I'm amazed at how much of a pass Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose gets when people talk about the clutch. Like Lebron neither have been clutch in the playoffs.

    In fact Derrick Rose had one hell of a disappointing playoffs last year and I'm not just talking about the Heat series. Throughout his basketball career including college Rose has yet to prove he is some big time clutch player in the big time games.

    I guess being humble will make people overlook things.

    I should have said consistently clutch. All 3 have had their good moments but they also have had disappointing moments.

    You shouldn't be, I mean I'm still surprised people still ask why Lebron gets more attention than either Durant and Rose.

    People were ragging on Rose non-stop for choking last season in the playoffs and getting shut down, he didn't get a pass. People just didn't hold it against him as much as Lebron, for obvious reasons.

    you know lebron hit the series winning jumper at the end of game 5, right? plus several other really big shots in the chicago series. while holding rose to 1-16 in the 4th, including 2 game winners in one game plus the game-tying 3 in game 5. i mean you saw that didn't you? you have to actually base things like your previous sentence on things that happened, not just your made up perception of how you want things to be. lebron annihilated rose in that series. maybe it won't happen again. maybe rose will play fantastic and be clutch every other series of his life. maybe the heat and bulls will meet this year and rose will outplay lebron. but that's what actually happened last year in the ECF. you can probably go to youtube and even watch a bit of it if you need a refresher.

    well, no, not really.

    i didn't realize taller guys guarding ridiculously athletic shorter guys was so easy. why haven't more coaches caught on to this? here i thought containing the shorter guy off the dribble was difficult, but i guess not.

    you mean like the 45 point game 7 against boston when pierce also scored 41. or the 27/19/10 game against boston in 2010? maybe you missed those, too.

    i guess he didn't talk trash, but didn't nelly pretty much mindf*** dirk in the golden state series? and i must've missed all the great durant and rose playoff moments these last few years. didn't durant shoot 35% against artest his first time in the playoffs? didn't his team blow huge 4th quarter leads to the same dallas team lebron sucked against? didn't rose get crushed by lebron after not playing well in the first 2 series either last year? again, you can't just pretend they've been clutch playoff performers. lebron against boston and chicago last year and detroit in 2007 is far better than anything those 2 have done in the playoffs so far.

    no I don't "haft to" remember that.


    these aren't trust fund kids. Trust fund kids act a fool with money.

    Most of em are from single-parent homes and under privileged neighborhoods (in society's eyes)

    they should be more humble.
