    The low moral character of a guy who helped fund and create a public school for underprivileged kids? A guy who despite the brightest spot lights has no history of domestic issues, violent or otherwise? A guy who despite not having a father, is a strong and supportive father to his own kids?

    You're woefully uninformed or you're trolling. There are ways and reasons to not like LeBron, but questioning his moral compass and by extension is character is ignorant. Inform yourself better so that your opinions aren't so embarrassing.

    That was mostly the taxpayers.
    Am i to applaud him for not beating his wife and kids? Also if they were you know ESPN would cover it up along with the NBA.

    Where do you know from if he is a good father or not?

    Why should i feel embarassed?

    i can only speak to the latter question, and it involves directing your attention to the statements immediately preceding it.

    we're supposed to assume the worst--and the opposite of available evidence--with respect to generosity and parental responsibility, but take your word for the broken moral compass?

    i'm not in the business of trying to pass definitive moral judgments on total strangers whose life situations are largely unknown to me. in either direction.

    Name anyone who did this to the city he worked for or played for?

    I would expect the worst in his case.

    The fact that someone is spending this much time on an opposing team's forum to hate on an athlete they've never met is without a doubt the saddest thing I've seen on the internet in 2018.

    How do you know how much time i spend here? I can have the tab open and not look at it for a half a day.

    I just like to keep it real, you don't really see me hating on other players that much.

    A whole half a day? My. You really are super chill about it then right? You might go a whole 12 hours before checking into an opposing fanbase website... what a strength of will.

    You just checked in not to play the argument vs argument game?

    All you got is ad hominem?

    real can take care of his own arguments but here's another ad hominem .... you're funny and seem to believe you have this prowess in whatever you call it that you do around here. But when you do lose one of the many ill chosen fights you pick for amusement, you dance and slip and deflect like no other ..... all part of the "tactics" it seems. But carry on.

    The only reason some of us haven't used the Ignore feature is because it's been the offseason. We needed some entertainment. The real entertainment is almost here.

    I did use the ignore option and was confused as hell reading this topic. It took me quite some time to figure out why the particular posts don't seem to form any kind of a reasonable discussion lol. All in all, I enjoy the forum even more now that I applied the famous yet rarely used ignore button. One of the many great features of lakersball:Kobeheadbob:

    Just me but I never use ignore buttons on forums. Always curious about what annoying words next may come flying out of someone's pie hole ..... errrrr ...... off someone's fingertips.

    You want me to bump the fights i left so i won't go endlessly off topic? If you wanna fight it out i can do that.

    In the NBA athat neuters players to seem nice and kid friendly. Yeah i think it's moral issue and i think there is a market for it.

    Too many to remember all but OK recently how about your counter claims that San Antonio was not headed back down the pecking order in the NBA simply from the loss of Leonard, past stalwarts of their long run retiring or being elsewhere and Pop likely to retire soon? And then after claiming still not so because of how well they have always drafted, and realdeal countering that their drafts of recent years have not been all that great ..... you flip flopped and said laughably, (something to the effect of that's what you want is average drafts when you have stars already)?

    Why do you feel the need then to go off topic so often?? It gives the appearance you don't really care about basketball all that much.

    They were bad considering where the Spurs got to pick?

    You hope the pick lives up to his potential. If you are picking late that is usually not star potential.

    Why would i assume that the Spurs will suck especially with the changed lotterry odds?

    No no no no .... see that's what I'm talking about when you turn to dancing and slipping and deflecting. Right now, I just told you what you actually said and I do believe it was "average" drafts were what you want when you have stars. You were deflecting then and now you do it again with regard to that quote.

    And picking one small part out of what was just said in the totality of the point. As in Leonard is gone, their other greats aged or retired or gone. Pop gone soon. And why do you go off topic so much, giving the "appearance" you don't really care all that much about the game itself?

    At some point it's an exercise in futility trying to have a rational argument with a block of wood.
