What a Classy Guy.

I really love everything about this kid from how he plays to his opinions on why he doesn’t take games off and workout with other players ...just everything you want from your franchise player and modern day athlete.

Unfortunately in about a months time when we play them in the 2nd round and he gets every call I’ll be screaming and yelling at him like I hate him :lol:

How the Lakers wasted Year 1 of LeBron................ :banghead:

That's the new topic now. LeBron is never guilty of anything. Never.
God no matter how i admit his greatness as a player, i can't stand all this.
I'll puke. I'll be so glad when he retires. So tired of all the ****riding by espn and "columnists".
I've started to like ingram, kuzma, ball...all of them. Only because this guy never gets blame. :banghead:

I don't think there will ever be international players like Manu and Dirk again.
Their impact on making this league global cannot be matched or surpassed(props to Yao as well).
I love the fact that fans all over the world, watch the NBA now.
We will always thank Manu for this. What a career.

As far I am concerned the way LeBron has tried to manipulate the league during his tenure is the reason he will never be the GOAT. The dude comes in, demands he get everything his way and then moves on to the next situation that he thinks will be to his advantage, leaving his teammates, coaches, and even other teams lying on the ground in his wake. This year alone, his attempts to get his way (i.e. AD to LA right the **** now) contributed to destroying three teams' seasons (LA, NO, Boston). I wish this board had a middle finger emoji.

He's a **** snake. Only a man can be the GOAT.

Dirk is, IMO, the best European ever. And probably the best international player.

You can add some guys like Pau Gasol, Petrovic, Kukoc....their impact in Europe was huge.

Wiggins is the worst contract in world sports history.

Remember when like 80% of this forum said Utah was trash back when they beat us twice way early in the season? Ah good times

The Warriors just screwed themselves by showing up the refs like they did tonight. Absolutely ridiculous. Curry and Iguodala should be fined for this crap.

The warriors are really one cocky, showboating divas. Worse than the heatles. Its good the refs got one over them. :lol:

This guy won't be an all star but has potential and will be great in certain match ups. Not sure the reason to make it easier to get 2 max slots is a good enough reason to give a young talent away. If it was such a problem wait until you have signed the 2 max player before dumping him. Thought it was a dumb decision at the time.

Warriors were up by around 20 points when I checked the game in the 3rd. How the **** did Wolves come back??? :lol:

I just love the headline up top so much I had to quote it for everyone.
https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/253122/Jerry-West-Couldnt-Believe-Lakers-Traded-Ivica-Zubac-To-Clippers

The Los Angeles Lakers offered Ivica Zubac to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Mike Muscala.

In recounting the trade details to close associates, Jerry West said he never offered any deals for the center and "couldn't believe" that the Lakers wanted to trade Zubac.

West and his friends laughed at he recounted the deal, according to sources.

Exactly, the refs aren’t going to take kindly to things like that. If they play the Rockets in the finals I can see the refs ignoring & allowing Harden to travel.

They will be. As will Durant and anyone else who made comments after the game. As if a $25,000 fine will mean anything to these children

Steph/Iggy, what did you just do?! Man, I don't want Warriors fans pointing to the unfair officiating after we win game 7 at Oracle.
