What TO Issue? Yeah it shows up on the stat sheet, but the majority of those turnovers are being sent down to the post to Erden, Casspi, or Tawn. I swear those 3, the levels of carelessness they produce on the court is mind blowing.

Kyrie's defense is underrated, and in limited mins. when Coach Scott wants him to create his own shot. I have no problem saying Id take Kyrie over Westbrook, Rondo, Ellis, or maybe Williams.

I am a Cleveland guy, I fucking LOVE Kyrie. However to call his defense "underrated" is a stretch. He got torched for 23 by Brandon Knight last night.

I'd take Kyrie over Williams and Ellis, but wow man, over Westbrook and Rondo? Phew.

To top it off he was also considered the worst tipper in Cleveland.

my buddy owns a lil place downtown I wont name here and LBJ and Boobie liked to go there.. On Boobies fucking birthday they ran up a 2400 dollar tab. Lebron left a 3 dollar tip. 3 fucking dollars. Gibson felt so bad he snuck back in after the party left and gave the girl 500 bucks.

Some guys on GAF would probably applaud him for that.

My man.

If you like Single Malts, I recently tried some Balvenie 14 that was amazing. Really smooth even when drinking it neat.

Don't eat steak, but love me some good, well prepared lamb. But damn, even I know you can't ask a real chef to destroy an expensive cut of meat like that. And washing it down with an Appletini?

If Lebron was a Physician, he'd be John Dorian.

Opinion.

I say wearing a jersey of the player on their team is better than wearing an All-Star Jersey with the palyer's name on it.

What say you NBA-GAF?
 
Remember when Amare scored 30 ppg in like 10-15 straight? Dunking over LeWelldone? Shitting on the Celtics game one including a 360 layup and a dunk over Garnett and Jermaine?

Where is this man? Surely we can trade him for someone with a pulse?

Melo has the skill set to become great in our system but Amare with no freak athletic ability is Jerome Jordan right? We already have one of those on our team.

I've been thinking a lot about Stat last year. Maybe he was doing greenies.

Your talking about in the all star game when they wear their team jersey instead of just an east west all star jersey? Yeah i think that's awesome i think the all star west east jerseys are alright but it's cooler when everbody's repping their own teams.

On the Lebron tipping end, i almost never tip at a restaurant unless it was actually a eye opening/unbelievable experience/meal. I've worked fast food and i never got tipped crap, so i have no sympathy for waiters who complain about never making any money when i know their taking a ton of money home at night. It's also funny how they always expect celebs, and sports stars to tip them a crap ton. Just a total scam. However if your asking to have your food cut up for you, (which is beyond reason) your tipping 20% minimum if not 40

How would they make a ton of money if nobody tips them??

Smh.

It makes no sense that since you worked in fast food (which is NOT the same as working in a real restaurant) you wouldn't tip waiters/waitresses. It's not customary for fast food workers to be tipped, but you were almost certainly making a higher hourly standard wage than waiters in any restaurant.

As long as the service is good and I like the waiter, I give at least 15% (but usually closer to 20%).

And yes, if you're a mega-millionaire like LeBron, you should tip 20% out of courtesy as long as the service was good. LeBron never had to work a shitty service job and clearly has a total lack of perspective when it comes to how "normal" people live their lives. Not to mention the fact that when he goes out to a restaurant, I'm sure it's a high-demand and stressful service for the waiter.

I think he's somewhat well-intentioned, but he's still an asshole.

I agree with this.

Also, I always tip when I get a haircut. Come at me.

Of course. I go with $3 on top of the cut. I've been going to the same spot for years, since I'm a regular, my barber usually skips me ahead of the line. I always tell him it's cool, but he looks at me and says:

"Nah, you were here earlier, remember?"

Picture Niko Bellic saying that shit to you. Safe to say I quickly jump in the chair at that point.

For 3 dollars? Man where do you live, Greece?

Linsanity vs the big 2 1/2. National TV or no?

Been going there since College, 10+ years.

Knicks will pretty much get murdered by LeWelldone and Kobe's backup.

I'm hoping for a good result tonight vs. the ATL.

Was i making more money per hour? Yes. However i know many people who are waiters who are taking $100 home minimum at mid range places. I would have to work all day at Panda Express just to make frigging $80 dollars. And if anything I did more work with having to clean the bathrooms, clean the floors, and all the tables.

It's simple i pay for whats on the menu. If it's good service or i feel i was treated well, i can leave some cash. I should have the option. It shouldn't be a requirement and in other countries (China, India) when you try to tip them they'll bring that money back to you and look at you like an idiot. It's this attitude of "reward me for doing what's expected" and its disgusting.

I can see where your coming from if you disagree with me on that, but Lebron should tip more because he makes more money? Bullcrap. Just because he never worked a service job doesn't mean he has a frigging moral obligation to give these people more money than anyone else. Give him 2 hours (probably less) and Lebron could be doing the exact same job. It's high demand and stressful for the waiter? Don't work with Lebron (or some other celeb) and you risk not getting a huge tip.

Tip talk? We're better than that.

Of course he doesn't have a moral obligation to tip, but it shows an extreme lack of respect and perspective for him to (allegedly) leave an atrocious tip--a lack of perspective that has shown flashes throughout his career (most notably after game 6 of last year's Finals). Anyone who is not LeBron, one of his dragged-along high school buddies, or a celebrity musician/athlete might as well not exist in his mind. They're simply there to serve His Majesty.

Tipping is a topic where reasonable people can differ, but I'm most surprised by the fact that your attitude is coming from someone who has worked a shitty job in the service industry. To me, once I worked several jobs like that it gave me empathy for how thankless and demeaning those types of jobs can be. I do my best to make the dining experience pleasant for the server as well--not because I have a "moral obligation" to do so--but because I'm not an asshole.

That's no future I want any part of. Quick, someone invent a time machine and convince MJ to go into the fashion industry instead of buying the Bobs.
 
As someone who worked in fast food it makes it easier for me to dislike tipping...when you go from cleaning crap out of toilets at just above minimum wage and seeing guys bringing home 100 bucks a night at a restauraunt its hard to have any sympathy...

Sounds great. A good Maker's Mark also hits the spot.

My balkan side loves me some good lamb, mmmhmm.

Has there ever been a #1 pick as ugly as Anthony Davis? Greg Oden certainly has the old man look down but really i just don't want to look at that kids face a lot to be honest. How are they going to market him? Can they force him to have two separate eyebrows?
 
As per the subject du jour, Dwight's a fantastic tipper. Friend delivered pizzas to him for 4 years; usually got tips around 70-80 dollars with a few 100 dollar ones thrown in. Granted, Dwight's orders were pretty massive according to him.

Is Elliot Williams in the dunk contest? No? And a guy that he beat in the McDonald's All-American Dunk Contest was picked?
