best players stay in one team and carry it to the heights...LBJ just fucked off to Miami after some time...he lost 2 finals already(probably will lose the 3rd as well), but he will get his ring eventually, but no one will respect it...he is mvp, he is the best player in the world right now, but he just ruined his legacy with that miami deal...
Bosh also...he was pissed and just escaped to miami...
Carmelo did it as well, he was playing in the western conference finalist, and he wasn't happy there...he just fucked off to NY to get a better sponsorship deal, bigger spotlight, and can't even get in the playoffs, damn I think that Nuggets are the better team without him...
this new generation doesn't give a shit about rivalries, about loyalty to a team that drafted them, about sport tendencies...they just want fame, sponsorships, and in LBJ's case - an easier way to get the goal...and people see that, and that is why he is so disrespected...he was clutch in cleveland many times, and people loved him, but after that move...nobody gives a shit about him...it is like playing a video game with a cheat - AND STILL NOT WINNING...then you become a laughing stock

^ true.
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson used to not be able to be kept in the same room together - there was that kind of rivaly. It was personal and real - it led to stronger games and more furious play.
As a millenial, I can't say I remember those days - but man - I wish these guys would play with more passion.

I used to think Bron was a much better basketball player in comparison to the league at-large. Clearly he is still a stellar artist of the physical form, and a member of basketball's athletic elite, but for whatever reason, his game has changed since he arrived in Miami.
He has no fire left in his eyes, no excitement for the game outwardly, and he is visibly in his head during games; you can just see in his face the psychological and emotional impact of his decisions. Wade too seems to me like he doesn't play the same since Bron came along.
When you want something to go one way so badly, and it turns a sharp corner like that on you, it must really suck to have to live with regret on such a large scale every day of your life in front of millions of people who hate you because you just wanted a better opportunity for yourself.

Not much to talk about right now outside of Westbrook being incredibly overrated and too full of himself. I dont think he realizes he's not the best player on that team.
OKC has a deeper team with their bench players, but Miami's big 3 are canceling all of that out while Westbrook jacks up tons of bring all night.
Next game is almost a must win for OKC because if they go down 3-1 it wont be very easy to come back from that against the Heat who are clicking right now.

I dont know why Lebron gets so much 4th qtr flack. He was pretty damn good down the stretch of games when he was in Cleveland. I remember seeing him hit tons of game winners and thrashing better teams than the Cavs were at the end of games.
Then he goes to a new team, happens to stink it up in the Finals, was not very clutch when he needed to be in the 4th quater for 1 series, and suddenly this guy cant finish games? Seems like this all started with that, and you cant get down too hard on him. He didnt know what he was doing there last year. They've figured it out now.

Wade's been playing well, just not up to his potential, and he is dealing with a knee injury. If he were 100% like he was about a month ago, yeah they would be absolutely thrashing the Thunder.
The Thunder are a rock solid team, but I think Westerboke is a serious problem. He thinks he's as good as Durant, and I do think that team is capable of winning this series, but it has to be put on the REAL stars shoulders to do it, and he can do it, but Westbroke is not allowing him to. He wants so badly to be a part of why they win, and is not nearly as efficent of a scorer as Durant is, so he is really hurting them right now.

it is really a tough choice between these two teams:
on the one side there's a glory hunting mix of roar like an idiot when I dunk/block annoying characters like Ibaka and Westbrook...Perkins: extremely annoying fat arsed the only guy who tried to have a fight with every single center in the league (even Duncan)...Durant doesn't give the ball to no one, but on the other hand he is pouring 30,40 a night whenever he wants and is one of the best players in the world, so ok...Harden - meh, ok I guess...
and on the other side:
just a bunch of posers except Battier...I loved and supported them from the 90s...they were cool with young wade and o'neal but now: plastic fans with plastic fancy ass players...
fuck it is just sad without boston and san antonio...

LBJ is definitely not a poser. The guy is the real deal. As far as skills he's definitely up there with some of the best that ever played. He can shoot, is a big strong guy so he can post up, can attack the rim and score at will, so teams basically foul him a lot, which puts them in foul trouble and puts him at the line, where he has a pretty good percentage.
He's very tough to deal with, and although he does have a mild ego, he's really not an asshole or anything and his ego isnt over the top. He doesnt often talk shit or celebrate much on the court, doesnt talk about himself all the time. I really dont have a problem with him.
He gets a lot of hate because he's talented and popular.

That special he did, the decision show, made a lot of money, all of which he gave to a foundation he supports. As far as the wording he used about bringing his talents to south beach, yeah that wasnt smart, but that doesnt make him a villain or anything. And yeah he also looked stupid when he said they would win not 1, not 2, not 3, etc... championships, but whatever, he isnt the brightest guy in the world, but he's not a bad guy either.
He does have a pretty mild ego for someone as good as he is and for how much attention he gets. He's been pretty normal for the most part. He even took a Cavs team to the FInals that had no business being within a sniff of it. That was all him on a very mediocre team. How many players have ever done that before? Having a little ego isnt the worst thing in the world. He's certainly no Ron Artest which is a good thing. He doesnt talk much shit during games or celebrate too much, or give himself all the credit. He never does that.
