OT: Sons, job well done

[jjktkk]

Am I the only one who never really got the hype over the Wade/James "rivalry"? IMO, LeBron doesn't really have any specific rivals, tbh.... there's never been a player like him and he's the best player in the sport right now, so the only rivalry I can think of is LeBron vs. the rest of the league, tbh.... I was pissed for a little while after the Decision, but unlike LeBron's haters, I can at least admit I was just salty that he didn't sign with my favorite team, instead of making up reasons like "he joined up with his rivals"....

I never could stay mad about the whole thing though, because I was a LeBron fan since he came into the league, and also because I understood why he had to go to Miami, tbh.... the Spurs, Celtics, and Lakers had all spent the previous half-decade or so ting on the league and winning rings with their Big Threes, did people really expect the other stars around the league not to notice and try to emulate them? (I also easily got over The Decision because the Clippers indirectly were the second-biggest winners from that ordeal behind the Heat, but that's another story for another thread, tbh....)

Also, I can't stand the myth that "every player was a compe or and they all hated each other in the '90s," because it simply wasn't true.... just like today, players had friends on other teams who they had considered playing with.... case in point: Jordan himself almost went to the Knicks in the late '90s to play with his friend Charles Oakley.... I love the old school NBA, but people need to stop elevating it to mythical status in order to on today's NBA, tbh....

The only person who might be able to challenge James is Durant. Not that Durant is even close physically to James, but, more along the lines, of those two competing for rings., MVPs, etc...

after ou before it's about the same cul, gaining pau for a peanut bag is what the Lakers do and revisit it after don't change anything

He hadn't won a single playoff game. They couldn't get him to go under the basket there in TN.. We were fortunate to draw that fool Howard the first time, and Perkins the second time. Immediately thereafter Carlisle cut him out and busted his hole. Why? Because he knew Pau was the weak link. That was Gasol's moment to prove YOU right, Brazil. Like Magic did after '84. Like Kobe did in '10. What did Gasol do? Went straight to that gd referee on the foul line and cried like a baby.

James is James biggest adversary. He ain't sure right now. Everybody else is sure. He's almost sure.

He'll be sure come mid-June.

I think they think most of the fans on the NBA forum are Spurs supporters. I couldn't possibly despise the Spurs any more...whatever floats their boat. I am happy to see Lakers win, and will be rooting for them even though I think OKC was the worst possible first round match up.

Personally, I would love to see the Spurs collapse in the first round again. Also, I would love to see Lebron lose in the finals though I HIGHLY doubt anyone stands a realistic chance against Miami this year.

I actually thought you were a Laker fan when I first saw you posting, turns out you hate a Laker legend that has brought 5 rings to the organization, therefore you're not a real Laker fan.

You're just a casual viewer that likes watching them play, but real Laker fan you are not. Please stop this .

He's afraid. It happens.

Probably something happened between him and Bryant, he probably expected a handshake from Bryant and Kobe refused that explains his anger, because honestly, I haven't met anyone who claims himself to be a fan and at the same time hate the man who has brought a lot of success to their perspective teams.

Nah, I'm actually a die hard Kobe fan. I'm kind of a sick personal mentally so I just get a rise over trolling Kobe fans. I don't even think Robert Pattinson twilight fans get as defensive over that guy as Kobe fans do over their God.

If I've had a bad day I just come home and troll some Kobe fans, it cheers me up.

To prove me right about what ? never said Gasol was Dirk 2011 or Lebron 2012 and carried all by himself the Lakers. Now don't act like Lakers didn't acquire a key piece to get 15 and 16 for a peanut bag. This is what happened, neal with it.
