Stu you dont know me well enough, I say it as I see it. Unlike most posters on realgm that just move with the flow Im not one of those posters and your putting to much time and effort into why I dislike Lecrab and your taking this thread into a different direction than what the topic is about. I dont dislike Lecrab becuase of Kobe or anyone else. He is a great player and he will be in the H.O.F and he will win a lot of titles. He is by far a great player in my book. The best in the game, not at all. Better than Jordan........... NOT EVEN CLOSE, better than Kobe, NOT YET and it will be a while.
BUT
I dispise him and his fan base because he is overly hyped, he is classless because of all the dancing singing and running ish in other peoples face. Also walking off the court when they lost to the Magic without showing a good sportsmanship, the whole dunk video that Nike took away, the fact that he travels everytime he touches the ball, for a big guy he whines everytime he doesnt get a call and so on and so on. So these are my reasons why I call him Lecrab.

Nah brah, I think you got me confused for someone else. I give props where props is due. If I have ever defended Kobe and I have many times, it was because of all the D.B that always bring up his rape case. Thats about it. I dont defend him or root for him. I root for the Lakers not Kobe and every vet poster on here knows that Im not a player homer, Im a basketball fan.

Okay.
stu_sutcliffe wrote:As far as the whole Artest thing, so you're saying since he was lit up minutes before his interview that he shouldn't give him props, I disagree there. Obviously you have your own opinion but that doesn't mean Artest said anything wrong, his timing was good too, after the game you discuss those things.
Again my beef with Artest is he isnt doing and performing as I or anyone else expected him to do. Plain and simple. Not only is he lacking what we all expected of him but he is running his mouth and drwaing negative attention towards himself as well as this team, which we are all trying to avoid. Plus with me, if your going to talk ish then backup your ish talking. He isnt doing that, he got burned by Lecrab in two games and then he sits in front of the media and draws attention to his own failures. He should be embarrassed since Lecrab did abuse him pretty badly in both games and he publically did say "I was brought to LA for players like Lebron and Paul P. Well he failed with Lecrab now lets see what he does with Paulin when we play the Celtics.
Also who cares about N.Y Knicks or where Lecrab ends up. Artest plays for LA and he is getting paid to play in LA, he isnt the spokes person for Lecrab or the NBA. How about focusing your energy and yourself on your teammates and teams success and not anyone else.
