Holy ****. And I defended this thread recently when the NFL guys came in here trashing it.

Today was like a flashback to last season when sea manup and JumpmanFromDaBay were still around.

 

[Jokegeta]

Oh you were though. Right after.

Not at all. Pull up some receipts I'm sure you know how..

Cavs lost i know i came in her saying they only lost because of no Love and Kyrie.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Look at you. Emotional. Unlike you I dont get on my knees and lay down for men and encourage others to join me in submission.
I'm sure your king appreciates your efforts though. After all every king needs a queen #relationshipgoals

Emotional? Naw I just asked you a question the same way you asked me one pleighboy. I'm just a fan of the goat. Savanna is brons queen the same way you're lil b's queen. #lgbt #trumpscomingforyounext

Charles Barkley laughs off LeBron James' barbs, stands by critique of Cavaliers star

A day after LeBron James called him a "hater" and dug up some personal history, TNT analyst Charles Barkley says he stands by his criticism of the Cleveland Cavaliers' star player.

"I stick by what I said, I'm not going to make this personal ... he was all whiny last week," Barkley said on the Waddle & Silvy show on ESPN Radio. "... I'm good and I'm straightforward, I'm never going to get personal on an NBA player."

Last week, Barkley said James was being "whiny" for publicly stating the Cavs need to bring in another playmaker.

"Inappropriate. Whiny. All of the above," Barkley said of James last week. "The Cleveland Cavaliers, they have given him everything he wanted. They have the highest payroll in NBA history. He wanted J.R. Smith last summer, they paid him. He wanted [Iman] Shumpert last summer. They brought in Kyle Korver. He's the best player in the world. Does he want all of the good players? He don't want to compete? He is an amazing player. They're the defending champs."

James, clearly irked by Barkley's comments, told ESPN's Dave McMenamin on Monday night that he won't let Barkley "disrespect my legacy like that," and took some personal shots at the Hall of Famer.

"I'm not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas," James told ESPN on Monday. "I never said, 'I'm not a role model.' I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying."

When asked Tuesday if he felt James crossed the line, Barkley said it was a case of shooting the messenger and that he had no issues with James' remarks.

"I was laughing, clearly he did some homework ... he Googled me and found some things," Barkley said. "He was young when I was playing so I appreciate that, but I'm not upset about it ... my criticism was fair and I'm good with that."

Despite drawing the ire of one of the biggest names in the sport, Barkley said he doesn't plan to rein in his opinions.

"Some of the stuff he said about me is correct -- doesn't make the message I said about him incorrect," Barkley said. "Some of them are intimidated about LeBron [but] I'm not intimidated at all."

And there we have it. Most people know who Barkley is/was. Nothing he said was new or unknown, to be frank. Unless you're under the age of 21 and never saw Barkley play.

Barkley criticized LeBron James as a basketball player. LeBron criticized Barkley as a person. Two very different points. LeBron needs to grow up and get some perspective.

Hope the Suns pull this off, all but assures us finishing in the top 2 in the lottery. I'm assuming it's this year's pick so the Kings don't actually make out bad either. Get a young prospect and since Philly can swap picks with them they'll have one in a really deep draft.

This is one of those days when the NBA Thread is the worst thread on NT. People pocket watching, trolls trolling.....The NFL thread was right

Well put.

Case closed.

Lebron can do no right in here

If @sniperwolf ends up blocking @Freeze, then he lost already

This is the type of stuff you see women doing.

Pretty much, he didn't or couldn't refute the content of the message so he went at the messenger instead. That's what people do when there's truth in the criticism, they deflect.

 

[the collector]

He didn't.

Bron is one of the greatest players of all time. One of the best from nothing to something stories we've seen. A good dude...who put his team on, and continues to be a model on and off the court.

With that being said....he CAN fail at times. AND be wrong as well.

Today....he was wrong. Even if it was @ that f-boy Chuck. He was still wrong.

He was injured, and we all know bron can make any player better. lets not act like we dont know

 

[Proposition Joe]

Lebron probably leads the league for the most minutes of everybody in the NBA, has always been the backup point guard, and hasn't had a full off season in 7 years. Why is he getting killed for wanting a backup point guard?

That's not all he's whining about or has been doing since this slump.

 

[Jokegeta]

The crazy part is @Freeze is actually one of the ***** on NT really getting to it. Courtside seats and all.

***** could prolly pull up on Bron and take a pic with him at a Pistons game in real life .

But "post count" [emoji]128580[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

Hold on...Let me ask this here real quick....

Analytical sports discussions are cool but talking **** is an integral part of being a sports fan.

Gotta have some days like this every once in a while. Think of it like a cheat day during a diet

This is the type of stuff you see women doing.

If me blocking a 29 year old on niketalk with 27k post about bron this and bron that means that I lost, then by all means I lost then, because MAN!!
