Both of you are ****ing morons. Did either of you read the post which I was responding to? Clearly not. Yes, I like and respect Kobe. So what? It has absolutely nothing to do with LeBron being a douchebag. Why would I be upset that Kobe has gone fishing? I AM A ROCKETS FAN. You are so ****ing r****ded, it isn't even funny.
I was responding to dandorotik post not yours! Lebron is a douchebag no one is arguing about it. But you are acting like a douchebag yourself with your childish posts! Your nick is bleedrocketsred doesnt mean you are a true rockets fans. Stop acting like one!
I cannot even understand a word you are saying. "Your nick is bleedrocketsred doesnt mean you are a true rockets fans. Stop acting like one!" What does that even mean? You are r****ded. I won't even bother wasting my time on you.
Is Finley's ring tainted too? After Cuban went cheap and waived him to save luxury tax money, Finley was looking to play for the minimum salary on a championship team. He joined the Spurs.
That's baloney- they even recognize the Spurs 1999 'ship as legit. That's a lot of nonsense stirred up by the media. The history books will always read 1994 Champion: Rockets and 1995 Champion: Rockets, and there won't be any asterisks next to it, either. And BleedRocketsRed- don't call people r****ds, what is the matter with YOU? You'll only have one more week of pain watching the Mavs lose, and then it will be all right.
it was hyperbole. my point is as rockets fans, we hate the fact that our championships are always qualified with, "Jordan wasn't in the league (and yes, i realize he played half a season in 95, BleedRocketsRed...r****d)". but we're doing the same thing to lebron if he were to win one. i don't know why everyone criticizes him for wanting the best chance to win. i guess all the haters here who play pick up ball always pick the slowest guy who can't dribble.
there in lies why it is so ridiculous, superstar athlete takes money over being on a good team, he gets criticized now we got a guy who wants to win, he gets criticized. and he gets criticized because he couldn't live up to some mythical hype, the guy is as good as advertised, but no one is capable of carrying a team like cleveland to the promised land
Yes, cause Finley was called King Finely and is the Chosen1 and next heir apparant to Jordan after Kobe.
pgab, how is it mythical? And who is asking him to carry a team solo? Issue is him needing 2 other superstars. For the record, if it was Wade only, I would consider his ring legit. Wade was already in Miami and Lebron would have been choosing a team where he could win. Jordan didn't have 3, Kobe didn't have 3, Lebron shouldn't have needed 3.
Don't you even know the meaning of Big 3? We just hired Mchale, why don't you go over to him and tell him his ring is tainted because his team had 3 guys?
14M isn't a lot, tell me one guy out there outside of LBJ who could play 45 mins a night, guard the other team's best threat and still drop 20 pts and a near triple double every night? Even doing all these superhuman acts the heat only reached the 3rd best record in the East, if you replaced him with a lesser player they'd have an even lower seed.
Ok, so according to you MJ was already past him prime. According to another poster Pippen was already past his prime. Since Rodman was roughly the same age as Pippen he was already past his prime too. So apparently the Bulls won 6 rings over 8 years using a core of old, over-the-hill guys, thanks for clearing that up.
I used to think he was coat tailing a championship but it's clear now he's leading the team to the ring
You're an idiot. I said Jordan was in his prime for his first 3 peat but past his prime in his 2nd 3-peat. And you interpret that as Jordan being past his prime for all 6 rings. I know I've said this before, but it's worth repeating. You're an idiot.
Can you imagine how dangerous the Heat would be if Mike Bibby was shooting 46% on threes like Kerr did for the Bulls in 1998?
Calling someone "past his prime" doesn't really hold a lot of weight when that guy is still good enough to win two MVPs in three years.
I'm sure LeBron would gladly trade Wade, Bosh, Haslem and the rest of his roster for: - Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, legit 7 footers and shooters - Shaq - Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Artest (so he doesn't have to hold everyone), especially seeing how he likes to facilitate anyway
