learning some important life lessons from magical Negroes
LeBron on Lakers' last shot: “Artest made the perfect pass and he just missed it. You know I’ve been there before, it was a great play.”

Lebron is doing all the trolling for me, lmao.
 
Derek Fisher, the former Lakers guard who knows the ins and outs of Kobe Bryant’s game like few others, sees some of Bryant in three-time scoring champ Kevin Durant.

"There are similarities in terms of that internal fire," Fisher said. "Kevin is not as demonstrative [as Kobe] in terms of his actions, but on the inside, he wants to be one of the greats."

Durant’s practice habits remind Fisher of Bryant.

"I watched Kobe for years work to become one of the greatest of all-time," Fisher said. "I think Kevin has the same love and passion for playing basketball. The process is happening, for sure. You can see he is understanding more of what it takes to be the leader of the team. Not just statistically; but the little things, the defense, the rebounding, being in the right position. Knowing when to control the game, when to get his teammates involved. But I think he is making a commitment on the defensive end. He wants to get better. He wants to improve. He is on his way."

Yep. That is why Dwade is King Douche and LeBron is just, well, he just is.

What a gem from some idiot in the Hollinger chat.

Would the Lakers have been better off with Fisher last night in those crunch time minutes?
John Hollinger (12:14 PM)

If Oklahoma City had put him in the game, yes, the Lakers would have been better off. Taking the shot instead of Blake? Sorry, but you're amalgamating too many distant memories.

So my coworker was trying to convince me that Kobe was pouting after Blake's shout because he thought he got fouled instead of just being pissed that Artest didn't pass to him/Blake missed.

Talk about totally missing the point...

Me and Dy are starting Act II right now

I finished it last night, but I'm just sitting here as Dy's character sits idle while he is blown away by the between-act movie.

Hey Best Gaf, I'm gonna see Avengers finally this weekend. Do I push back against 3d or do I succumb? Seems like I'll be out voted anyway, but is the movie really worth it for 3d?

I saw it in 2D and didn't feel like I was missing anything at all.

IIRC Avengers was converted to 3D in post-production, so I'd definitely avoid it if you have a say in the matter.

and i hated that nor did the 3d even matter to me.

Good, I figured I was right on this one. I'll try to fight against it.

I think Prometheus is the only movie worth it since it was definitely shot in 3d.
Oh man, you just reminded me how hyped I am for Prometheus.

Looks absolutely fantastic.

I just checked too, and it'll be showing in the new IMAX at this theatre about 15 mins. away from me. Hnnnnnnnggggggggggg

yeah, me too. So hyped for that film. I've had to stop reading the thread on it, getting spoilery.

Dy just saw alien? the fuck
 
Same here.

Avengers, Prometheus, Battleship in one day. My body has never been so ready.

I did the 3 movie thing once as a teen. Never again. My body wasn't ready. Didn't feel right after it.

Man, it must be at least a decade since I movie hopped. Best was when I had a friend who worked at the theaters in in summer during high school. I had free movie tickets and almost free concessions out of it. Was so awesome.

I would never pay to see battleship.

I don't get to really sit down and watch movies in a theater anymore. I'm pretty excited for it.

I was gonna say something demeaning, but then I remembered I paid to see Transformers 2.

I paid to see Transformers 3 and laughed through most of it. I enjoy the big, dumb blockbuster.

Tim Riggins, Liam Neeson, stuff blowing for 2 hours, that's good enough. I'll enjoy Battleship on some level.
