ESPN Dude Hating on Bosh's Commercial

99 Problems · Post #21 » by **99 Problems** » Wed Jan 2, 2008 8:43 pm

He wasn't saying anything wrong at first, he just said that CB4 would be getting more votes than he normally would because of this video, which is probably correct..

However, here's what he got totally wrong:

- He said CB4 is now guaranteed to be in the game whereas before he wasn't-- WRONG, Lebron and KG will beat him out for the forward spot anyway, nothing has changed except him getting more votes..

- Has no idea of the whole fan voting system for the All-Star game, seems to think that all the players will be voted in by fans rather than just the starters..or maybe he just doesn't realize how much of an advantage KG and Lebron have over Bosh in votes..

- Said CB4 is "probably not ready" to be an All-Star, shows his lack of knowledge about CB4's past All-Star appearances, maybe he thinks this would be his first time...

- Overall is just a tool and douche, just the type of person ESPN would put on in order to get ratings...

lol the segment is pretty entertaining. the other guy likes it and i think most people do.

best part is, the bald guy talks about the bubba bit which is gonna drive more voters to CB4's site and ultimately, more votes. hurray!

Hasn't ESPN learned it's lesson when it comes to putting down the Raptors? Don't they realize how insane our fanbase is?

who really cares. in the end, most of these analyst types are losers. Never played sports, fat, outta shape and ugly as sin. These people make their lives revolve around that of others. Sad. Like those celeberity gossip shows too.

No matter what we do, we will always be BETTER than clowns like this. So sleep easy. This guy is the very same thing he accused troy aikman of: a homo.

Who cares what Skip thinks. Everyone on RealGM will tell you Chris deserves to make it. Not more personality than Lloyd Carr?!?!? Chris seems to be coming out of his shell.

do you really get a bonus from your contract if you make the all star team?

Problems with his argument:

-Bosh won't get get voted over K.G, therefore he won't be getting into the all star game by fan votes.
-Bosh is an all star and has been voted in one time and got in by the coaches the year before.

He probably had no idea what Bosh has done over his career and also didn't know he made the all star team the last two years.

I hope some of the ESPN guys who know NBA ball let him have it after that.

I don't know. I mean............some people hate Mother Theresa. Skip Bayless is one of them. Book it!

Wow, that guy is the most annoying guy I've seen in sports television next to Stephen A. Smith.

Even his co-hosts know how extreme his opinions can be. I'll admit CB isn't playing his best this season yet, but he was just a starter in the All-Star game last year so what the heck is he talking about?

This is coming from a guy who isn't even a fan of player celebrations after a touchdown in football. NEVER put this guy on any decision-making committee in any sport, PLEASE.

wow. i dunno whether he's hating on the fan voting system or whether he's hating on bosh. at first i thought it was the system, which I totally understand (good example would be Antoine Walker facebook group) but then he goes on hating on Bosh and saying he's not an all-star. That guy knows he was voted in as the starting PF for the East last year right?

Like it matters with Bron Bron and KG in the same conference.

Unless there is something I am missing...

I feel like voting again just to piss this guy off.

wow - just watched the clip on the ESPN website. That guy really REALLY has to relax.

...he probably voted for Bush too by the sounds of it.

His segment was fine at first, but then he just goin' crazy. I think what people are mad about is the fact he knows Nothing about the NBA or the players, because he would have know that CB4 is 2 time ALL STAR. Voted in last year by the Fans and Coaches in 06.

I think it just shows how he knows nothing about the voting, because he would have know that LBJ & KG would be starters no matter what, or unless Bosh can do what Gill did last year and buy a Million Ballots and vote himself in.

Let's all pay him back by making him a write-in for the game so he can get repeatedly posterized by Amare.
