Yeah, I have been back and forth on LeBron. I loved him as a rookie, as I was graduating HS the same time he got drafted and he was hyped beyond belief. I remember actually goign to pick up a couple friends and went back to my house just to sit and watch his first game in the NBA. It was a big deal at the time.

But over time I soured on him the more the big media complex/hollywood/money started changing him. He was not likable at all when he joined Miami, and was basically a heel. But then he went back home and actually won Celevland a title, vanquishing the greatest team of all time in the process. Literally a storybook scenario. He was riding the highest he ever had, and everyone loves him again for the most part.

Now he is beyond reproach. Almost no one likes him on the internet and in RL. But, I guess when you go to 8 straight finals and 9 in 11 years means you are always going to be in the spotlight and someone is bound to hate regardless. (dont get me wrong he deserves a lot of the hate, more so when it comes to his political/social/off the court shit)

Westbrook breaking the all time triple double record while missing the game winning shot is the most Westbrook way to win that record. Very appropriate.

the only reason people are even capable of THINKING about comparing the two is because Jordan took 4 years off

He spends too much time telling people how great he is, HoF's probably sit back and laugh at how weak he is.

I never thought there would be a time where I just didn't give a shit that my favorite NBA team won a championship, but between BLM being shoved down my throat and Lebron being on the Lakers, that happened last year. Sucks.

And this Memphis Spurs game about to start!.... might have about 13 people that will watch it. That could be overestimate.

Go Warriors, would love them to obliterate the Lakers tonight and if Curry stays as hot as he's been they can legitimately make some noise. He's been the best player in the world since the all-star break.

Feels kind of weird to think that Curry didn't shoot enough 3s when he had 9 attempts. Just grew used to him shooting like 15 every night down the stretch.

Flopping, faking, and acting a bitch is about the worst thing in sports. Lebron should get a technical foul every time his bitch ass fakes like he got decapitated and re-atached his own head.

This is your legacy, bitch. This is how you will be remembered.

If the league really wanted to stomp it out they could. Just review all suspected flops post game, and then hand out 1 game suspensions.

Yeah, I have a hard time getting too worked up about players doing it if it's something that clearly can work sometimes. And it's certainly not unique to Lebron.

They should make the entire playoffs single elimination or best of 5. I loved the best out of five in the first round. That would eliminate too many games though.
