4. John Wall is a bust bum.
5. Lebron is a coward.
6. Kobe is a saint/Kobe copies MJs 90's style like everything else
7. Westbrook looks like a ninja turtle
Are all these statements true? In their own ways sure..but c'mon
D Rose can dance tho.

it's a 2 way street, i'm a Laker/Kobe fan but just because I like the Lakers and Kobe does that mean i'm going to try and rationalize or justify stuff like the mike miller, ginobli incidents from a few years back because they were inexcusable.
THE SAME WAY heat lebron/wade fans shouldn't try to justify or rationalize wades play in the all star game.
if Kobe broke Wade or Lebrons nose in an all star game intentionally or unintenionally alot of the same people trying to rationalize Wades actions would be up in arms and crying.
like I said earlier the Lakers should give Wade a nice hard flagrant foul when he drives to the lane during the game on Sunday, Wade deserves it and im sure he knows it too. and I doubt he would play the victim role either, he would most likely see it as payback from the all star game and things would be even.
if it was the other way around and someone on the Heat flagrant fouled Kobe hard during the game this Sunday I wouldn't take issue to it nor be up in arms either as I would see it as justified payback and making things even.

So by that same token Laker/Kobe fans calling Wade a dirty player for a hard foul/dirty play shouldn't call Wade a dirty player unless they are going to hold Kobe to that same standard for his history of similar plays.Originally Posted by Rex Ryan

It is better to win because of good teams than winning because the refs were also on your +@%+##% team.
Also, Kobe has ABUSED wade almost every time they have played against each other. The only dudes that have played well with Kobe head to head are prime Tmac and Bron.
Wade needed Shaq and the refs to win a title. He could not even win last year with his loaded team. Bringing up Pau and Shaq makes you look foolish.

Can't wait until Sunday when the game is over by halftime and the Laker thread is solemn like every time we play those bums.
First of all, this is turning into an A vs. B thread. It was inevitable. Second, calling us bums is a little too much there bud. Yes, we're obviously coached by a dolt, our franchise is currently ran by a donkey and our record isn't as great as it used to be but we are far from bums. Our Laker thread is solemn every time you play us? Do you even know what solemn is?Originally Posted by miamib30514

That is where you draw a line in the sand? This entire thread is almost all about something other than the original premise.Originally Posted by epox12

How did this thread turn into a discussion about rings?
