So all that talk about how this 3 days will help Miami. PG will be fine by Saturday but if they had to play tomorrow he most likely wouldn't play.
Yep, spending Memorial Day Weekend in Miami should do him and the team wonders. Wait, what?!?!

Concussions symptoms dont leave that quickly

Saying he'll be fine is a bit of a stretch
 
like i said - lebron has had practically everything handed to him by the nba, media, etc

and thats why i dislike him so much. hes not even that great. hes good, yes. but if it was game 7 with 5 seconds to go, down by 1, there are a handful of other players i would have take the game winning SHOT. hes not a cold blooded killer like mj or kobe was. hes probably the best player to play WITH if you wanna have fun, but its been proven that lebron cant win if the offense is centered around him. idc how many points he averages, because that doesnt reflect HOW he scores. hes an athletic freak, that can drive to the rim. if you took away his fast break points, hes not a very good shooter, so his numbers would diminish. hes thriving in miami because of the system and who he plays with. if you notice, most of his points are easy buckets. hes good and all, but doesnt have the skill, footwork, or instinct that mj and kobe have.
 
meaning what?

He was the most hyped athlete of all time. and he lived up to every expectations and in many minds has exceeded them.

hes the most hyped athlete of this era. hype was created when social media became what it is. back in the day all the "hype" was from what was on tv.

It always trips me out when people say that they don't like LeBron because he is too hyped or because he's all the media talks about etc. I can understand if for whatever reason you don't like his game or something that deals with basketball but to say you don't like someone because the media talks about him 24/7 or because too many people like him is just mind blowing to me

*shrugs*
 
Man before that game last night and up until the 4th qtr a lot of y'all' were already counting the Heat out. I see the same "y'all" now riding with Miami again. Same thing will happen when Okc wins tonight. Y'all will write Spurs off and say thunder have arrived.
Definitely interesting day to day in here man
 
Paul George's status for game 3 is uncertain with a diagnosed concussion.

Welp.

1. what about the other 47 minutes and 55 secs?
2. define very good shooter. check his shooting percentage from various spots on the court, there's a perceived misconception that lebron is a poor shooter but that's nothing but far from the truth. you don't score the amount of points lebron does with just scoring in transition.
3. i'm pretty sure people thrive off playing with lebron more so than lebron benefits playing with them. this is a guy who took a bunch on nobodies to the finals by himself when he was wit the cavs.

Now hold up, you just agreed with me saying that dudes be saying nonsense when games are not on, but what is this **** right here you just wrote? :lol :lol :lol

People want style points I guess. Shame on him for scoring fast break points and points in the paint.

Oh, and the "skill, footwork, instinct" thing is just wrong :lol

Don't know why, people hated Magic cause he had THOSE AIDS, Mike cause he was an *******, gambler; Kobe a "dry snitcher" and adulterer; Wade for having terrible fashion sense and being a scumbag; Duncan for wearing Paco jeans and being boring. It happens to everyone, especially the greats.
 
Wade County was so lame. Right when Bron made his decision it was the Kingdom in Dade County.

Actually, this is one thing I have to relinquish after experiencing it. It is Wade county. He's never being traded and he is by and large the favorite player in the city. Heat 'fans' on a broader scope obviously are all about LeBron. But the pre-decision Heat fans (some do exist) love them some Wade.

hes thriving in miami because of the system and who he plays with

Yes, what a novel concept to build a system that caters to your best player who in turn has the ability to bend the traditional systems offensively and defensively. One doesn't happen without the other.
 
I see more Wade jerseys than Bron in Miami whenever I go.


************* will be wearing a Wade jersey with Lebron XI's too. :lol

the "****" youre referring to is the truth. name 3 offensive skills that he is good at...i'll give you 1, he can drive to bucket. period. he cant shoot like durant, cant post like melo, doesnt have footwork of kobe, doesnt have the overall nastiness of mj. hes a magic johnson 2.0. just because hes uber athletic, people dub him the best player, some even say of all time. you guys talk about him bringing a bunch of scrubs to the finals when he was on cleveland, look at mj. he had scottie, and not much else. PLEASE dont bring up kukoc and all those role players. lebron had equal talent and finally had to abort his home team to team up with 2 other all stars to finally win. again im not saying hes not good, because he is. hes just not what everyone makes him out to be. the guy doesnt even have a go to move other than trying to bully his way to the rim. he doesnt have an actual offensive SKILL that can be relied on when the team needs points. hes not gonna pull up from mid range and knock down 3 straight buckets, hes not gonna pump fake and spin you silly for an easy lay in, hes a great athlete, but far from the best PLAYER.
