    Say it with your ches' Bron! Told y'all he didn't give a f***!



    Btw, he didn't mention Kawhi and that's probably his real target haha...now crank up the news cycle for the names he did drop. No wonder the media loves him... Hes the gift that keeps givin'. They got juicy material to speculate on for weeks..

    Was scary seeing him grab and play with his knee after the replay showed how he landed on it stif and jammed it.

    ...every game James seems to take a hit. ESPN announcers commented that he doesn't get enough calls. Made me think of how O'Neal was treated when he played.

    Long ball wasn't on tonight...had only one trey attempt methinks but did his damage controlling the game. Zubac really shone due to James' passing. Deft footwork overpowering Holiday in the paint and scoring amidst three defenders off an offensive rebound during one possession.

    Nice seeig Lebron attack the post when the long ball wasn’t falling. That opened up a lot of shots fron the perimeter for our guys.

    Not to even mention, Lebron fed Zu all game, good stuff.

    I'm just glad his back is ok. At his age and in his condition, anything can trigger a serious thoracic spinal injury.

    “NBA Owners have a slave (Master) mentality.” Damn! He’s a social justice warrior. Also: “Jews are good at making money.”

    Oh, yeah. You're absolutely right. He was saying the NFL wasn't handling it well, but he praised the NBA.

    That interview was hard to watch honestly, LeBron was extra full of himself. I’ll watch the dude play ball for us, but I still can’t stand to sit and listen to him talk about himself in the 2nd or 3rd person, saying how he’s about to 34 and playing as good as anyone in the NBA. Here’s a pat on the back for that your majesty. He also said he’s not the GM, but that the team is better than he thought it would be this season and he thinks they can do more now, and now it would be awesome to add help, if not in those exact words. That sounds pretty definitive as far him wanting trades to be made to me, which I mean, suprises exactly who? That’s his thing, move to a team and change it little by little. But whatever, if it leads to a banner I’m good with it, but no JR Smith or Tristan Thompson type contracts, you win now WHILE staying young for future competitiveness.

    Snowflake! Am I doing it right?

    Extra full of himself?!?

    [​IMG]

    Dude's doing what probably only the Mailman and Kareem have done. If you can defy Father Time in any way, then that's an accomplishment. I mean to date, l've patted myself on the back exactly 9xs for putting grandpa in his place. Kudos to you Bron for putting in that work to stay relevant when most of your peers are either "has been"s or "been done"s.

    What's "extra" is a guy at his HoF commencement s***tin on everybody and being so petty, that he glosses over the people that actually helped him get there. Meme the f*** out of that guy...that a****** deserves it haha.

    Not sure if y'all remambar, but a certain dude called himself the best 1on1 player ever and only 2nd as best bball player ever behind Wilt. Oh, he too refers to himself...calling himself an a******!

    This is a competitive sport...there's hardly any room for the noble... Only the a******s win rings...heck even Joey Crawford thought Tim Duncan was a smug SOB.

    Fyi: I loved the interview and I'm ready to get this show on the road. We've been nonrelevant for far too long... And what exactly did we "rebuild" to: MozDeng?!?

    You know how I love me some Lebron, so after your comment I was bracing for the worst and most unbearable interview of all time.

    For some reason I didn’t think it was that bad. And I really wanted it to be.

    My post was half messing around/having some fun, and half because I was bored ha ha, but that was a great response. Kobe was right by the way, he was that good a 1-on-1 player. LeBron is also right, he has to currently be at least on the MVP candidates list.

    It wasn’t that bad, the actual interview was good, I liked most of what he had to say. Just that one particular comment rubbed me the wrong way, made me go “oh that’s right, this is still LeBron, the same guy I could barley tolerate since The Decision.

    Agree with Sirron - it was not so bad. Just Bron being Bron. He's full of himself to a level not ever witnessed before, but he also achieved quite a lot to back it up. People with his level of success tend to be narcissistic, probably. I don't like it either but as long as he produces, I will not cry over his self-admiration.

    I will never understand the need to s**t on Kobe just to make Bron look better though, that s***t ist just wrong.
