NBA Finals

I don't hate LeBron. Only reason to dislike him is that he has made it so much less compelling for the fan factor since Florida deserves no sports teams outside of football. I don't have TV though so didn't even bother with the whole decision fiasco.

Florida sports fans are the absolute nut worst. And that's saying something considering you might get stabbed if you piss off the wrong Mexican in LA.

That TV show was absolutely retarded and that celebration pep show was idiotic.

But, past that, you can't be MAD at him for going to play for the Heat. He took slightly less money to play with friends and try to win a championship. Lots of people talk about wanting players to just try and win championships instead of chasing giant dollar signs.

As for the finals, I don't know which would be funnier: To watch LeBron haters go in to meltdown when they win or to see them froth at the mouth going on attack if they lose

Either one works for me. I, however, will be paying much more attention to the Stanley Cup finals.

I predicted the Heat would win the championship as soon as the "decision" went down. That kind of talent on the same team is 3/5 of an all star team. The only question was chemistry. But, I hope they get killed by Dirk and the Mavs just for the fact they were out dancing like faggots when the deal got done. Look at us, we are the shit yo. Champions X7. Fuck them.

"So the last time you changed your mind was yesterday?

The last time I changed my mind was probably in my dreams. And when I woke up this morning I knew it was the right decision."

*vomit*

Fungus you are way off base; he obviously has the right to do whatever, but he's still an arrogant d-bag... I would much rather support dirk, durant, Dwight, etc

Good game here, both teams playing some great defence

Wes · #7 05-31-11, 10:49 PM

I can only hope that Peja and Mike Bibby somehow get into a fight so neither of them play anymore.

I can't disagree with you more. Lebron is one of the least arrogant athletes I have ever watched. Granted, we all get exposed to a media prepped version of anybody on TV, but I still think the guy is ridiculously humble. He has no reason to be, he has been viewed as the King since he was 13, and yet all he wants to do is win, play ball, and earn some dough. 95% of humans would be complete divas growing up the way he did. He has mentioned many times (none since The Decision as I think he realizes the backlash it might have at the moment) that he wants to be the first billionaire athlete. I think all the press conf, decision thing, Heat celebration thing was just marketing. Let's not forget The Decision thing also benefited charity...

Sjay, assuming The Decision and the Heat celebration thing didn't happen, and still tell me he is an arrogant d-bag?

If so, what are you watching?

It's the same reason San Diego fans suck: there are just so many ways to fill your weekends that you just can't commit to sports all the time.

See: Pittsburgh/Boston

I also hate that people bring up the argument that he is going to make less if he moved to Florida. No he wouldn't. No personal income tax there. He makes bundles more moving to Florida than any other place besides perhaps NYC with the marketing opportunities.

Kurn · #11 06-01-11, 03:25 PM

True enough, though he'll still pay State income taxes for the percentage of his income attributed to games played in States that do have an income tax. each away game is legally time worked in that State.

Comeback kids!!

What a game, what a team.

sjay2k · #13 06-03-11, 12:00 AM

The Mavs played some incredible defence to get back into it.

Pretty amazing that Barea took the final shot.

Looks like Lebron/Wade's early celebrations in the 4th were hubristic

Wes · #14 06-03-11, 02:08 AM

I'll have to rewatch it, but wow that Mavs won that game. Besides last seven minutes, they seemed terrible with the lone exception of Marion (who is playing way above expectation so far).

I think Rick Carlisle should get flack though for giving Brian Cardinal any amount of playing time ever.

edit: Is Mike Bibby hurt for the next game because of Brian Cardinal? Brian Cardinal still hurting his own team even when hurting opposing team's players.
