Goddamity!!

I'm sick of this King backing The King nonsense.

You were getting a little mouthy there, too,Dahla.

I am not afraid to kick you again.

James is nothing more than an extraordinarily talented extraordinarily narcissistic fool .

And this O'brien nut placated him for years and that helped no one.So he skeedaddled.....in a way no one else would.He cries all the time, feigns injuries, will trash a coach who played to him for about 5 years....and then after they are both gone he will make ''gentlemanly comments "about Brown.That is the personification of James.

And he quit his team,coaches and fans ...at home....in a playoff game.All because he didn't like Brown's strategy.

He may have been catered to at a very young age...but how many years does it take until you look at yourself in relation to the rest of the world and what is going in within? It isn't written that the "catered to at a young age" is a license to be a friggin' ass.hole the rest of your life.

Plenty of players do not like him.Ask Kevin Garnett for one.

Gilbert messed it up by catering to the fool which is why they fired Brown who I guess is good enough for LA. He could have done the manly thing and told gilbert in private after game 6 against Boston he wasn't coming back and been done with it. He wanted the big game in people coming after him Clev included. This is why Clev hates him. We'd hate him anyway if he left but not to the extent it is.

But I was one who was glad he left.

You're still a sissy, but this was fine, fine work.

I have always been in the Kobe camp as far as who was the better player. But now? I think injuries and father time (scary thought!)are catching up with Kobe while Lebron is in the middle of his prime. I think its conceivable, especially the way the NBA is now, that Lebron can win more than five championships.

Lebron, in my opinion, never will be the scorer that Kobe has been. He will never be the same "force" offensively. His lateral quickness, his end to end speed with and without the ball, his ball handling just aren't what Kobe's were. I think Lebron can do more things. I think Lebron can "get his" more in the flow of an offense. I think Lebron is the better playmaker and I would put him in the top tier in the league in passing. I think Lebron is the better rebounder. I think Lebron helps better and plays passing lanes better than kobe although I think kobe was a better lock down guy. I think kobe is a superior shooter from low post, mid range and three. Lebron takes it to the basket much stronger.

If you took Lebron 2005-2010 and put him on those 3 championships teams with shaq, I find it hard to believe that the Lakers wouldn't have still won those three rings. The last two years? I think that is certainly up for debate.

We did see the success that kobe had when he was playing with mediocre talents around him. The west was certainly much tougher those years than most of the years that Lebron was with cleveland but Kobe never even sniffed the conference final. Did they even win a round? Compare that to what Magic made the final with in 92 or what Lebron made it with in cleveland.

Despite the contempt I have for Lebron in regards to his whining on every violation and his classless "decision", I do respect that with or without a title, he is the best of his era and certainly an all time great.

I was only kidding ,Dahler......don't hate me.

As an aside, someone the other day brought something to mind that I hadn't ever considered. Scottie Pippen took the Bulls further without MJ than MJ ever took them without Pippen. I found that kind of interesting.

You find a lot of meaningless things interesting, I'm guessing.

You can say the same thing about Phil Jackson with the both of them but I know how you feel about that.

Glad to have helped ateam.

King Glorious · #**816** 06-05-2011, 08:25 PM

Are you sure about that Dalakhani? The furthest the Bulls got with Phil and no Jordan was the second round. The furthest the Bulls went with Jordan and no Phil was the conference finals wasn't it?

I didn't mean strictly with the bulls. Phil has 5 titles without Jordan or pippen. Those guys have zero without Phil. The same is true for kobe bryant.

Big 4th quarter from Lebron.

He'll get his ring thanks to Wade, the best player on his team.

Truer words have never been spoken. You watch Dirk, struggling so hard to find buckets for his team because he's the only one who can do it, then you watch LeBron, running away from the paint and passing the ball to Wade and Bosh to score because they're the only ones who can do it, and you think, best player in the world?

Well I knew that much. That's why I only said with the Bulls. I knew Pippen had even made it to a conference final with Portland. I respect Jackson but I just believe that he is the ultimate opportunist. I like to call him the Mariano Rivera of coaches. He's a closer. Doug Collins built those Bulls up and I believe they were ready to take that next step. They had to learn. Same with Del Harris and the Lakers. To me, Phil could only win with two superstars. When he only had one, he lost with both teams. He also lost with two in LA. Great button pusher/motivator. Average coach to me. Given equal talent to work with, there are a lot of guys I'd take before him.
