DWade and Lebron should have their own show.

JR Smith is the fucking worst. Now he's a guy that in basketball and outside, is just plain unlikeable. Ugh....
Jordan would have probably been hated even worse than Lebron if social media was big back then. Jordan was a big a**hole in real life. I think social media makes it easier to hate on everything.

It would be really sweet if the Cavs actually lose after being up 2-1. Everybody wrote them off but the hope is back. That would make a lot of this stuff worthwhile, along with the Warriors coming back after being knocked down and showing championship heart. It would be a great story for that team and Curry.
Hope it happens, starts with game 4 and the first half not being total garbage on offense.

Are we going to pretend a dysfunctional team of Dion and Kyrie (who never made the playoff prior to Lebron) is a good team? If he really wanted to play for a good team, he could have went to the Bulls/Clippers/GSW/Houston etc..

I don't think there is anything wrong with that( I disagree the Cavs - when he chose them - were a better team. If that was a major concern he would of went to a truly good team) and the latter is only a concern because he actually cares about his hometown. Yeah a lot of that has to also do with ego and legacy but I think the people that think his love of Cleveland and desire to give back to his hometown isn't a major factor are a bit deluded.
Don't talk shit about my boy JR.
He's got stuff. Just gotta mash on the Turbo button to get it out of him.
JR does crazy shit at times, but he's also a head case, dirty player, and he seems like a dick off court too. He is entertaining though, I'll give him that.
I hope he has one of his classic bullshit games where everything falls for him. Cavs gonna need it.

And Dan Gilbert accepted him back with open arms.
And the city of Cleveland.
And all of those fan who burned his jersey, only to buy them again.
He knew he could always come back to Cleveland.

I never thought I would say this, but are the Warriors screwed? Are we going have to deal with a ticker tape parade in that shithole of a city? Is the SI Cover Jinx going to claim another victim?
Fuck Cleveland, and seeing D-Wade cavorting with Judas over there makes me sick.

Like for real for real... Jordan is a huge dick and I can't..... I just can't support anything from him. I can't buy a pair of Jordans in my life for the stuff he says especially when it comes to black people (rumors but at this point to many people says it's true)
He's heartless and his outside basketball antics makes me hate him, however he was an amazing player in his time and it's a 50/50 split there.
I just also find it strange that Curry became this angel and LeBron some devil when outside of basketball, they are literally identical.
He's pretty loyal to Akron, even when he went to Miami.
Not about that. Cleveland was younger and had more upside while being a great PR story that restores his image in many ways.
I don't think it was about going to a good team, but a combination of things. Either way, he always talked about playing for the Cavs again so it wasn't a surprise, but most people didn't see it happening that soon. I had faith despite enduring that shitty thread on here...lol
He came back for many reasons, but I don't think that's a reason to dislike him for the story that it created despite some of his arrogant comments.
Yup, nothing but rational discussion in this thread. It's definitely over despite the Warriors being in this position before and we can't allow a city find some happiness because we like being assholes, right?
Well they can start by reducing some of Barnes, Bogut minutes and giving it to Iggy, Lee.

That Deuxcision thread was such a goddamn trip.
I still remember the Gilbert plane-tracking :lol
I'd be shocked if that didn't happen. And I would legit jump o to the irrational "kerr is overrated" bandwagon if it doesnt happen.
I love watching JR play.
Entertaining to watch, for sure.
Jealousy? I dunno. People love seeing the big guy fail
As far as athletes go, it's hard to hate on him at this point.
Especially since Delly will be lucky to move by next game. He was already getting killed on screens (plenty illegal) and fighting for the ball, but I can't imagine the hits he'll take next game.
The others must fall for the chosen one to rise. OUTBACK JESUS.

The Cavs just need one game of his Fuckball and they'll win the Finals.
It'll be soon. He's due for a big game.
I will lose my shit so hard if he somehow wins Finals MVP.

Illegal screens are more or less being traded with the Cavs use of the off arm to clear space. At first I thought it was just Lebron but a couple other guys were doing it.

Yea fuck him for going back to his hometown to play. What is he, an adult who makes his own decisions!?
hed have to turn water into wine and heal kyrie and love to get mvp over lebron right now

Because he doesn't play for the Lakers, Bulls or Knicks
Personally, I root against him as a Pacers fan because he's whooped my team's asses so many times, but I have mad respect for the dude. I acknowledge talent and greatness when I see one. And off the court, yeah he's pretty much one of the best personalities for a superstar.

So if Cleveland wins what city does the drought go to. Also what's the requirement do you have to have at least 3 teams or less.

The dude is so focused. Evander Holyfield in Fight Night level will power/heart.
Lol I don't have any opinion on what you said, but your tag is hilarious with this
"butthurt Heat fan"
That would be dumb of him. Leave Miami and go to another team with established superstars like he did when he went to Miami? That would destroy his legacy. Those teams were NEVER an option.
Lebron has reached that age of "not giving a fuck". He is now deadly because he doesnt hesitate anymore.
I still think the warriors got this. I think if they play David Lee some more and pray Harrison Barnes makes a couple of his wide open shots, they got a chance. Draymond Green lost his confidence and is just playing ugly basketball. Im not worried about Steph Curry if he just asserts himself like he did in the 4th.
If the Cavs do win this, its in my top 3 of most impressive things I have ever seen in sports.

Atlanta would have the drought if it wasn't for the fucking Braves, but in all seriousness, San Diego has it if Cleveland wins this.

If it was ANY CITY OTHER THAN CLEVELAND, WHERE THEIR RIVER CAUGHT FIRE ONCE, I would be okay with it. But that shithole of a city?
Nuke Cleveland out of orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I think this is like 90% of it. Jordan is the Golden God. A lot of people seem to get offended at the mere suggestion that LeBron could be mentioned in the same breath as Jordan. People say shit like "nothing LeBron does from here on out could put him on Jordan's level." What kind of shit is that? I'm not saying either player is better than the other but, if the Cavs win this series, LeBron will have an accomplishment under his belt that Jordan doesn't have.
Fwiw, I think Jordan was a more skilled player. However, LeBron has an incredibly high basketball IQ and is a physical specimen unlike any the league has ever seen (except for Chamberlain, I guess). As far as I'm concerned, fuck what LeBron does from here on out, he's one of the best basketball players ever. Also, even if his demeanor is all an act, it seems very unlikely that he's anywhere near as much of an asshole as Michael Jordan. If Jordan played today, with all the social media's and tweeters and whatnot, I think he'd get LeBron hate times a million.
Really odd that you completely left out The hour long special The Decision, using the Boys and Girls Club as a shield, "not 5, not 6, not 7"
"I'll be taking my talents to Cleveland"
The whining and flopping from one of the strongest players in the game.
But hey, keep rewriting the narrative.

LeBron has been all about the empty volume stats in this series, but the team is winning with a solid defensive strategy that goads GS into missing a lot of make-able shots.
I've never really seen anything like this series.

Go lie down. You need to cool off from this Heat.
I can dream.
It's still extremely hilarious to me that JR is closer to smelling a ring than Carmelo has.
The whining and flopping is definitely at the top of the list as to why he's unlikable for a lot of folks. It's embarrassing.
