Yes you do seeing as how Anderson silva is a douche and KD is a nice dude.

edit: Also, i would say shogun is nothing like melo. melo hasn't won **** for his team and seems like hes ready to ditch his town for NY.

Shogun is one of the best LHW ever, dominated pride and won the grandprix. Then he hurt his knees real bad and still beat machida twice to be the current ufc champion.

Cung Le = Michael Jordan - both are exciting to watch. both are highly skilled. both can do things other players can't do. both have been in movies.

I think you're the only one that got the joke.

The chances of Jon Jones becoming a champion are about as good as David Lee becoming the MVP.

:lol: :lol:

I love bones but yeah, i'm not too sure if he's a future champion. He's definitely a good contender though, so I don't know if the david lee comparison is relevant :P

If Rondo had a consistent jumpshot and could shoot free throws, he'd be Jose Aldo.

I don't know much about basketball, it's what Jerry Lee Lewis would call a "f** sport". But the Melo and Shogun comparison is accurate as far as physical attributes, absolutely. Big, hefty dudes with incredible agility and skill.

Rampage and Artest too for personality. They're both crazy, but also really heartfelt and introspective and beautiful people who just get carried away.

STFU. LOL. Stupid petty squabbles about sports teams. TMAC VS KOBE? KOBE'S RINGS ARE ALL SHAQ. HE'S SO OVERRATED. JUST A RAPIST BALL HOG. TMAC'S WAY MORE TALENTED.

Shogun says Jon Jones is the most talented fighter he's ever seen. "He's so good it's unfair." Who can beat him at light heavyweight? The only guy that can neutralize his judo/wrestling is Machida, IMO.
