I never wanted him. My record on this issue is certain. I said when it started he could flourish in one spot and one spot only,,,with you. Otherwise, he'd obsess & ruminate like he did up North for a decade.

And felt better than anything I've felt in my life.

The ultimate redemption story.

Forever stuck in NBA and sports history lore, worldwide.

Picking yourself off the ground, bringing back the same group, all the doubts, all the fears, all the horrors, all the embarrassment of blowing what was thought to be in the bag. Stringing the ropes. Selling our on TV. And then....... arising from the ashes. Looking at that sandwich. Being forced to eat it. Eat it, in all it's humiliation. Disgusting. The entire world laughing at such an epic failure. But then...

Rising from the ashes.

Saying "no" we won't go out like that.

Player of his generation could've taken the easy road out, faked and injury, pretended he was done.

But no....

To come back from one of the most hideous sequences...

And ring. RING!

RIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no greater feeling. I'm so glad they were roping off the Heat sidelines. I'm so thankful for Ray Allen. I'm so thankful for Manu's 8 turnovers and missed free throw.

Because we got 5.

And it was the greatest moment of my life.

Boiled down:::

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 2nd 5th

And the irony, ohhhh the irony of that 2nd 5th feeling so liberating. The 1st 5th would have been fun, but the lore, the NBA history, the ultimate redemption story, the storyline, the inspiration to today's youth... that if you at first don't succeed, do not give up. There are real heroes out there for you to emulate, and Tim Duncan is at the top of the list.

& I've condemned 'em for it. I don't form my opinion around my love for the Lakers. If I did that I'd be like like every other poster here.

No, you form your opinion for your love of The Rapist.

No, you're wrong, but, you're off on a tangent.

Lies.

Every trip to the white/chalk board. Every book in the RR. Every re ed retort. They are all singularly focused: protect your hero

Aldridge was never going but 1 place,,,you. You know that, but, you'd rather troll than act like somebody.

Hibbert was a notable big, he came aboard.

Notably garbage. Come on Thread, be reasonable. If you would've said a worthy reclamation project, I would've went along no problem. But this? This is outrageous. Notable. More like, Not-able to improve. You have to get Roy angry, otherwise he's just an alive version of those carts with cardboard cut outs NFL QB's would throw to in off-season compe ions years ago. Notable, geez

Horse , I'd a said "worthy reclamation project" --- you'd move the line down a piece.

Addy, you're a fine fellow, but, you're as intractable as your people.

And thanks for the backhanded compliment. You're not so bad yourself, despite that awful thing beneath your post count.
