Note: Jump shooting/chucking faggots doesn't make someone an alpha male. Being an asshole doesn't make someone an alpha male if he's not making his teammates better. Alpha males don't have to be the best player on a team. Not every team has an alpha male. Some rooks are alpha males based on college, until proven otherwise.

Oh, the way one can extoll on King James

-Redeemed himself from the 2011 betafaggotry by dragging the 2013 shitass Heat -- injuries to all the other alpha players except Battier -- to become the only player to dominate the SPURS in the finals, two years running really but his shitass teammates were so bad outside of him by 2014 it didn't matter, hence failing to make the playoffs in the year after.

- Drags any team he's on to the finals even when his second best player is a white 3rd stringer.

- Coaches and GMs for his team and actually does a good job

- Makes his teammates better; stars want to play with him

- Stands up to the jewry of Stern and Silver trying to put the black man in their place, unlike many of the leagues uncle toms

- doesn't rape or pretend to be a fake alpha by yelling a lot

-changed the way in which players negotiate contracts and free agency. these actions which include the 2010 decision pissed off a lot of whites and jews who didn't like the natural order.

- couldn't hack it being the go to guy, begs Wade to take a pay cut so he could join

- begged Bosh to take a bigger role so he wouldn't have to

- went back to Cleveland, taking a house niggger role to Thunder Dan

- is a shitty "coach" and GM, had no business being in the finals last year and got there by pure luck

- made Love better by having his stats go down, made Irving better by still being a chucker, made Smith better by still being a chucker, and made Shumpert better by overrating his ass

- is terrified of the western conference and stays in the east since it's pretty much a cakewalk to the finals

Indubitably folks. Indubitably.

Chamberlain was beta in the world of alphas. He had the immense talent, but would wilt (no pun intended) during the pressure moments. Russell on the other hand was a true alpha on a team with 8 HoFers. He played mind games on Chamberlain and bested him in the W-L columns (having superior teammates helped).

Olajuwon's pouting in the late 80s, in the face of adversary, takes some luster off of his alpha status. He was really never that much of an alpha to begin with. I mean, what has he never done to deserve the top alpha group status?

Shaq was pure beta, Fisher was the alpha on those teams.

James has this beta personality about him.

Schmidt didn't have to guts to play against better competition, pure alpha.

Robertson whined and bitched the last 6 decades about some recognition, and trying to put down newer players. Only betas can be this insecure.

You mean, besides making Robinson his bottom bitch, beating Shaq, one on one while being the primary defender. (No help like Duncan had). Kept Malone and Stockton, also Barkley and Ewing ringless. Ans was pretty dominant against the McHale/Parish frontline.

None of that makes him an alpha.

Alpharism has everything to do with attitude and how a team is led rather than how talented a player is. Otherwise, Wilt would have been an alpha as well, Lebron would have been one of the greatest alphas of all time.

And funny how you talk about no help and how Hakeem beat Robinson. The irony.

Fisher was the leader of the Lakers but was still not the "alpha" ...
I think Phil ultimately was the alpha of the 3peat Lakers

I think because Pop was so dominant Duncan was the quiet leader and Mnau the fire one but neither was the alpha it was ALL Pop. Coaches like Pop, PJ, Hoody have more clout on their title teams then their star players did.

Notice all 3 have disdain for the media but PJ wa sthe one to use it most/best to play his mind-games ...

CROFL insecure Spursfan pretending James isn't mega alpha. You cite his use of passive aggressive media but he's always used the media masterfully as a tool for his tactical mind games he plays to elevate his teammates and it almost always works. He had one betapussy series back in 2011 but you can find a bad series from almost every player at some point.


more than any player in the history of the NBA except perhaps the great Bill Russell, King James has stood up against the White Jew power structure that for decades has tried to put the black man in his place. First he showed his peers that just because the casual white fan with a plantation mentality thinks it's bad for you to get uppity and switch teams on your terms, doesn't mean you should give in. These jews don't own you; they are simply your employers but stars have the leverage. Meanwhile a year or two later Dwert the pedobeta caves under the pressure and signs an extension before pouting his way out in an act of pussydom. And not only did King James buck the white man twice, he did it to renowned Alpha Pat Riley, who had always gotten his way. King James is now the Coach, GM, and defacto owner as he forces Gilbert to spend hundreds of millions in Tax and kiss his ass in the process, in addition to getting the contract that he wants, when he wants. He has taken ultimate control back for the players. He paved the way for LaMarcus to leave, and KD next year.


Unlike MJ the supposed mega alpha who cowered at the thought of upsetting the white republican establishment just because of shoes, King James has never been afraid to speak up.


I salute you, King James :worthy:

Well, if you define it that way, great coaches are pretty much always the alphas.

Pop, Riley, Jackson, Daly, but they need that extension on the court as well, and that is where Duncan, Magic/Jabbar/Lebron, Jordan/Fisher, and Thomas comes in.

As for Jackson and the media, it works for a while, but it starts to become disingenuous after a while, and it worked because he was with Jordan and then the Shaq Lakers. Didn't work that well when his team wasn't the darling of the league when all the peripherals, media included, were eating out of his hand.

Going b2b after management got the perfect team and system around him, you mean.

Again, that has nothing to do with being an alpha.

If so, Lebron would be an alpha after what he went through leaving Cleveland, then winning b2b.

And yeah, when Hakeem's team struggled, it was because they had bad teams, but when Robinson lost in a single series, it was because he was inferior :cry.

1. What does that have to do with anything? He rang with a shitty team the year before.

2. Though LeBron left his team, going back to back is hard. Duncan should know about that more than anyone considering he has had 5 tries.

LeBron was the alpha of both his title teams despite what his detractors say ...
Same with Hakeem despite Rudy T's speech ....

I think alpha is as much about personality and will. Kobe has the will but lacks the personality same with timmy though Timmy's perona seems a lot more relatable. I think Ray Lewis another sport) was the alpha of the Ravens when they won Super Bowls. It's not ALWAYS the coach ... but i do think Coughlin was the leader for the Giants (but only because Strahan supported it)and Carroll for the Seahawks and Sean P for the Saints ...

Players become alpha for the franchise when their force of will is greater than the coach or if the coach lacks the ability to force their will ...Tim nor Kobe never had that because their coaches run their ships ...

PJ unfortunately allows shit to blow up though so PJ is better at media but shittier with lockerrooms players have foughtm public feuds in ALL of PJ's stops while Pop seems to really develop family

1. What does that have to do with anything? He rang with a shitty team the year before.

Hey, thanks for totally putting players like Sam Cassell, Robert Horry, Kenny Smith, Mad Max, Mario Elie and Otis Thorpe in their place. Sure they aren't the greatest players of all time, but their contribution, and their particular skill sets (space the floor, open up the middle, shoot 3s) was perfectly suited for Hakeem's game.


2. Though LeBron left his team, going back to back is hard. Duncan should know about that more than anyone considering he has had 5 tries.

:cry, Duncan didn't get b2b, but Lebron and Hakeem did, so going b2b must be a sign of being an alpha :cry


3. Now you're just rambling about nothing.

You introduced the idea of Hakeem struggling because of bad teams.
You then used Hakeem vs. Robinson as an individual battle without mention teammates.
You were the one to introduced all of this.
Then you, somehow, somewhere, started talking about b2b.
And I am the one rambling?

By your definition, Riley and Rudy were the alphas. I know you had a thing against Rudy T because of that horrible half season where he was exhausted from coaching Kobe to play team ball, but you can't just change midstream and start giving credit to Hakeem and take it away from Rudy T ag

Duncan was clearly the leader on the court throughout these years. He encourages teammates, calls them out, points them to defensive positions, talk to them, etc .... He has the personality, he has the will. But no, I don't see him as that Russell Jordan Thomas alpha personality.


Players become alpha for the franchise when their force of will is greater than the coach or if the coach lacks the ability to force their will ...Tim nor Kobe never had that because their coaches run their ships ...

Or because Duncan and Pop were always on the same page, because they want some credibility and (you guessed it) classiness in their organization.

Kobe wanted to be the alpha badly, but his grating personality alienated too many people and his agenda was clearly to put himself above the team, so players couldn't relate to or respect him.


PJ unfortunately allows shit to blow up though so PJ is better at media but shittier with lockerrooms players have foughtm public feuds in ALL of PJ's stops while Pop seems to really develop family

I would argue Jackson fosters that locker room feud and introduce this one-ups-manship to get the best out of his players. It works for a short period of time, but it eventually comes to a head, players are sick of it (Shaq, Kobe, Pau) and they stop listening.

What is the truth? How would you have the truth? All I know is all the mudslinging he did to marginal players, there was a published book from his HoF coach talking about how unapproachable and uncoachable he is, but yeah, you focus on nothing but the truth.

Whatever Amb, like i said if it helps you feed your ego, you win. I stand by my point that Pop and PJ were the alphas of their team ...feel free to talk about Kobe some more if it helps you as well ...

Hey, thanks for totally putting players like Sam Cassell, Robert Horry, Kenny Smith, Mad Max, Mario Elie and Otis Thorpe in their place. Sure they aren't the greatest players of all time, but their contribution, and their particular skill sets (space the floor, open up the middle, shoot 3s) was perfectly suited for Hakeem's game.



:cry, Duncan didn't get b2b, but Lebron and Hakeem did, so going b2b must be a sign of being an alpha :cry



You introduced the idea of Hakeem struggling because of bad teams.
You then used Hakeem vs. Robinson as an individual battle without mention teammates.
You were the one to introduced all of this.
Then you, somehow, somewhere, started talking about b2b.
And I am the one rambling?

:lol that 93-94 season, Vernon Maxwell shot 38% overall and 29% from three. In the playoffs, 37% and 32% from three. Cassell during the season shot 41% overall, and 29% from three. Elie in regular season shot 44% overall, and 33% from three. Horry shot 32% from the in the regular season. In the playoffs, Elie shot 31% from three and Maxwell 32%. They had 3 reliable three point shooters. So no, that team was not stacked with 3 point shooters.

And I mentioned Hakeem vs David because Hakeem destroyed Robinson one on one. Got it?

Fisher was the leader of the Lakers, and he sucked. Do you understand? Being the best player on a team doesn't mean being the alpha. Lebron wasn't an alpha, Dwight Howard wasn't an alpha, Wilt Chamberlain wasn't an alpha, got it?

Yes, they played a one on one game when Hakeem shone and his competition struggled, but if it was the other way around, it was Hakeem had bad teammates, or better yet, the other team played illegal defense.

Hakeem always wins, everything he loses, it's because of his teammates, it's because the other guys don't play fair :cry.

One of them he won the FMVP, played on sprained ankles, and outscored and outrebounded the best defensive frontline on his his own, and the other one when he was the anchor of the entire Spurs offense and defense?

When did I discredit winning b2b? Again, you have comprehension problems, are you retarded, or both? Winning b2b is tough, because you won 2 championships by definition.

And Fisher was the leader on that Lakers team, many signs point to it, even Kobe alluded to it, Jackson said it.

Finally, you have trouble distinguishing between a 17-year career and one series, so it sort of answered my question, you are definitely retarded, the remaining question is whether you have comprehension problems.

Finally #2, any time Hakeem is not hailed as Allah himself, you get all butthurt. Are you his 14-year old mistress?

Yet here you said Pau led that team. And called him a superstar because of it

A player who can lead his team to back to back championship, including 3 straight finals appearances, is a superstar.

ambchang

None of that makes him an alpha.

Alpharism has everything to do with attitude and how a team is led rather than how talented a player is. Otherwise, Wilt would have been an alpha as well, Lebron would have been one of the greatest alphas of all time.

And funny how you talk about no help and how Hakeem beat Robinson. The irony.


Who gives a shit. Did they win rings as the man? If you ring as the main guy, you're an alpha.

This is your definition, not mine, so it's moot.

Wilt, Hakeem and Lebron won 2 rings each. Duncan won 5 (4 or 5 as the lead), Shaq won 4 (3 as the lead), Russell won 11, MJ won 6, Magic 5 (around 2 or 3 as the lead), Kareem with 6 (4 or so as the lead), Mikan's got 5, Bird's got 3. So even with your definition, Hakeem isn't a top tier alpha, which is what I wrote all along. By your own definition, he is on the same tier as Thomas, Wilt, and Lebron.

Try to follow along with the conversation, alright?

Read what I just wrote. I have been about as consistent as you can be from the get go. issue with djohn2oo8 is that he can't read, and immediately loses his cool whenever someone mentions Hakeem isn't the greatest thing to happen to mankind since electricity.

He defines the greatest of an alpha as winning rings as the lead? Well then great!

Duncan > Hakeem
Russell > Hakeem
MJ > Hakeem
Shaq > Hakeem
Bird > Hakeem
Mikan > Hakeem
Magic > Hakeem
Thomas = Hakeem
Lebron = Hakeem
Wilt = Hakeem

By his own definition, Hakeem is not a top tier alpha, more like a 3rd tier figure.

I don't think you can keep up with the conversation, since you say he wasn't a top alpha, but you hit your period when you cry about how bad Robinson's teammates were. Notice every single one of those players had MUCH better teams due to talent. Had nothing to do with "attitude"

Going by your most recent logic, the one where it's about individuals, and also the one which contradicts the one you posted five minutes ago about teams, Hakeem lost to Thurl Bailey, Parish, Tom Chambers, Drug Tarpley, Olden Polynice, Divac twice, everyone because he didn't even make the playoffs with his injury, or you can say he lost to an eye socket, Kemp twice, and Ostertag twice.

What metrics are you talking about? Like how Duncan led the Spurs in points and rebounds in the 05 series against Detroit? How he had the highest Game Score? Best DRating (other than Glen Robinson, who only played spot minutes), how he had the highest usage rate, by far the highest rebounding percentage (except for low use players), how he averaged 20.6ppg and 14.1 rpg vs. the COMBINED 21.6ppg and 15.9rpg for the Wallace brothers (aka the best defensive frontline in the league)?

How about in the 07 series vs. Cleveland, when he led the Spurs in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, and the best defensive rating on the Spurs in a defensive series?
