    You said legit hurt, couldn't have been PP so I automatically assumed we were talking about a real man like Willis since he was hurt and came back out to play

    I did

    Correct

    That's your mistake. You know what they say when you assume. Just leave the 'me' (i.e., IE) part out of that equation, thx.

    Though everything you say about Willis is correct (unfortunately for us :swear: ), none of this applies to PP.


    BTW, it took me over 10 goddam minutes to create this well-crafted response. Impressive what a caveman can do with a rock and a computer, huh? Put some respect on my name, dammit.

    Would be a real shame if ESPN analysts had to keep talking about the reigning Finals MVP (which is what LeBron was at the time of PP's firing) as if that person was still relevant somehow.

    Don't think there could possibly be a more classy statement than this from Kareem?

    "I’m excited to see it happen. I don’t see records as personal accomplishments, but more as human achievements. If one person can do something that’s never been done, that means we all have a shot at doing it. It’s a source of hope and inspiration. Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile back in 1954. Since then, not only have 1,400 runners beaten that time, but the new record is 17 seconds less. We all win when a record is broken and if LeBron breaks mine, I will be right there to cheer him on."

    Kareem is such a quality, genuine human being. If Bron does it, my goodness, it’s gonna be so emotional if Cap’s in the house.

    Cap has come a looong way from the brooding angry silent young man he was back in the day.

    I love this statement on the scoring record.

    Think these two will really push each other with their competitive spirit. Russ is a gym rat, probably more so than anyone Bron has ever played with. Wade would be in the gym, but not like Russ. Russ is different with that Mamba Mentality.

    At that age, you can't afford to get out of shape because you won't get back to where you were. For Lebron, it's a year round effort keeping himself injury free

    That's the one thing about Russ, he loves the game and would play it in a park/YMCA if he wasn't in the league. I've seen Russ play at Del-Aire park in Hawthorne. They have a gym over there a lot of guys go to. I used to hang out there all the time and watch the Island Boyz play rugby on the grass outside the gym. Couple of them were my friends and would ask me to play already knowing what my answer would be....Helllllll Nahhhhhhh!!! THey crush each other for fun and they're all huge no thanks

    Wasn't too long ago that Westbrook talked of how George will never be a Laker when both were playing for OKC. That was true and he becomes one instead. Ball is like circle.

    I'm not sure what that last sentence means, but I'm good with everything else, and am glad it's turned out that way.
