[inside story] about lebron and duncan after 2007 finals

[moisaenz]

Watch last minute when Smith says it.

HAHAHA my distant cousin bayless...

Stephen A Smith just said that hypothetically...

[The Reckoning]

i'm sure we won't have to hear about this in the finals

HAHAHA my distant cousin bayless...

Stephen A Smith just said that hypothetically...

There is nothing that clip showed that showed Duncan say, "I'll see you again in the finals." It's not hypothetical. Cameras don't catch everything, but analysts and writers are always there. Stephen A. Smith even said once he knew NBA players' wives who have cheated on their men. The guy has more connections than any writer/analyst in the NBA. I hate the guy, but I know he hears everything.

This wasn't about the video we have all seen with Duncan and Lebron in the hallway. Who's to say Duncan didn't say that? That actually sounds like something Duncan would say.

That doesn't sound like something Duncan would say to me, but who knows. Stephen A said as Lebron was leaving the arena and stopped by the interview room to congratulate Duncan. That looked an awful like the video that we've all seen. It's quite possible Stephen A forgot what was said, but i think he got it wrong.

Nobody really knows for sure what happened or how valid this story is, or what was said but according some people I know (who are within the spurs organization)… after the conclusion of Game 4 of the 2007 NBA Finals, Lebron and Duncan met outside the locker rooms to talk/congratulate one another or whatever. Duncan supposedly told Lebron to keep his head up and that “this league was gonna be yours in a few years”

[Darkwaters]

ugh... no... this is inside information. were you in the locker rooms or have sources within the team? i dont think so. this is just one of those legend larry bird/wilt type stories i bet

Ummm, no. I remember seeing that video within 24 hours of them winning in 2007. Theres full video, audio and everything.

[smrattler]

Like the OP said, I guess we'll never know for sure if this ever happened.

It's now a legend.

Like Bigfoot, Loch Ness, or man walking on the moon... do we believe the video or not?

[BlackSilver]

OP is no troll...just comic relief in a weird way.

[hater]

LOL all this is on video

[hater]

damn this guy also made the George thread??

this is one damn good troll tbh

[ohmwrecker]

[Technique]

[hater]

Duncan supposedly told Lebron to keep his head up and that “this league was gonna be yours in a few years” (or so we thought haha) and thanked him “for letting the Spurs have this one”. This was symbolism for the pasting of the torch from generation to generation. If Heat meets the Spurs in the finals…. Oh the irony (if the torch wasnt passed and it never became his league)… or perhaps a movie ending with Lebron actually beating his arch nemesis that he couldn’t beat in the beginning but after the trials and tribulations or crucibles, he was able to overcome his rival.

So then I guess, we're all insiders? I mean, we all know this happened. WE ALL SAW IT. Otherwise, maybe you shouldn't call it insider information. Seriously dude, it's on the 07 championship do entary.

In other news, the Americans won the Revolutionary War, upsetting the British in a nail-biter.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Oh the irony

[moisaenz]

How about if the OP can enlighten us with his insider information on how the Paul George trade came about?

[DMC]

Reads like a Mouse troll.

The Americans were underdogs in that series, but had homecourt advantage.

[Beaverfuzz]

Why did the Spurs have to trade Boy George? He was so elusive, like a chameleon.
