ESPN: Lebron James among Time's Person of the Year Finalists!

You'd think Julian Assange might make it considering how many governments are commenting about him (like all of them...)

 

How can you even compare two of the most impacting characters in the last century to LBJ? That's like comparing Jupiter and Saturn to....a brick, which is somewhat analogous to Jame's game at times.

 

notability, good or bad (that bin laden didn't win was pretty much the end of it not being pc garbage)

Hitler won it too.

 

Hmmm...no Steve Jobs?

 

Not to get too off topic, as this is the NBA Dish, but Julian Assange was way in the lead before the Powers That Be demanded his name be removed from the list.

 

I'm surprised and disappointed by the Obama hate.

Closet racists?

Out in the open racists?

All Obama has to do is not lead the country into nuclear holocaust to go down as the best president of the last ten years.

Say what you want about his medical care policy, at least he didn't send American children to die overseas for no reason.

Lady Gaga is the worst thing to happen to music since MTV, I hope Palin is raped and killed by a wolverine, and James makes me physically sick.

Give it to the second black president (if you count Clinton, and I do).

 

I'm disappointed by you in general. Disliking Obama doesn't mean you're a racist. Please fast-forward a few years and join us in the present, please.

Moreover how are you ever going to have an intelligent conversation with someone if you just label everyone and are so easily pleased by a mediocre government that never makes good on its promises?

 

Well first of all, I wouldn't expect to have an intelligent conversation about politics on a basketball forum.

Second, mediocre is better than bad, last time I checked.

To pretend that Obama is somehow a terrible president, or that he doesn't deserve a magazine cover over some loudmouth childish basketball player is to be ignorant of what a truly terrible president is, and indicative of the direction this country is headed.

And for the record, I have had (and will continute to have) intelligent conversations. I'm also not "pleased" by Obama. I don't really see the big deal about him, one way or the other. But to hate him? You either take things way too personally, you've forgotten what Bush did to this country, or you wish he was more like the rest of our presidents, skin-wise.

I've never heard anybody come straight out and say, "I don't like Obama because he's black!" But those people do exist, and whenever I encounter someone that is overly critical of the job Obama is doing, I wonder if they might be one of those people.

The more important question: Who gives a rat's ass about Time Magazine?

 

I bet they pick the Tea Party.

 

for what it's worth- LeBron does move the meter. Everybody hates him, but they still pay attention to everything he does. Why did Yahoo post a link of what his Miami house looks like? Why did ESPN air The Decision? Because people will pay attention regardless, and that's why he is in contention. Time is considering him to be a finalist and people are talking about it- thats exactly what they want.

 

Hitler was also the Time Magazine's Man Of The Year!

 

Its politics my friend thats why it should be discussed elsewhwere.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

There will always be people that don't like what Obama has done just like there will always be people who don't like what Bush did.

A difference of opinion doesn't mean your'e racist.

 

Read the thread people.

 

Go lady GAGA
