His and Hers is a great show!
"Lebroning" is funny! The theatrics of it all can be entertaining. Hey, how do you feel about The Ginobli he was flopping before anybody?
You said "despise" might I ask why? Despite seems really personalized to me like loathing or contempt. Do you feel he is worthless or undeserving of his accomplishments? You indicated you respect his game so just curious as to what it is? Thanks.
Also, is the argument that he is a bad basket player or some just don't prefer his style. I know I like Steph because his shot and style remind me of "my" ideal style of play. So my shot and first step are strengths so you play off that.

So did you read anything I've written? He can be tired all he wants but then he looks like he's gonna keel over during an interview then gets back up and walks around high-fiving his teammates. He's clearly putting on a show for whatever reason he has in his mind.

That means nothing at all. He pepped up to congratulate his boys. You still haven't given a good reason for why he would even need to act. This ain't the the WWE, he don't benefit from being tired

I'd like to know what his reason was too because it looked pretty damn stupid and transparent.
Planting seeds for excuses when he inevitably fails, at the same time it makes him look better than he actually is in the history books.
The narcissim he showed during his press conference answering over a question directed to DellaDIVEandhurtya was hilarious.
I remember a few years ago someone posted how many times Bron said "i, me and my teammates" versus a stanley cup championship presser. Lebron was like 30:1 over the hockey players. Just hilarious

Speaking of dive and hurt you. He must be foaming at the mouth at the thought of Curry and his history of ankle injuries.
They should wheel him onto the court in a wheelchair preemptively, then at every time out he just collapses and the medics rush to put him back in the chair and wheel him over to the sideline.
"Rachel, Rachel, it hurts so bad! Mind over matter Rachel! Rachel?!"

Just speaking truth to power bro.
You're making shit up as usual. Ironically, you're endlessly more committed to your clown act than anything LeBron could ever conceive.

I don't think you realize just how important this is. What he's getting away with is reprehensible and someone must stop him. If zychi and bam bam don't talk shit about him for 12 hours a day on a message board who will? Who will? People might actually believe LeFraud is a good basketball player.

You say I'm making things up but people who think Lebron is a phony have lots of gifs and video of him and his shenanigans. What have you done other than comments about salt and calling other people clown acts? Have I even once resorted to personal insults and name calling?

I could go on and on about the liar and phony LeBron but he's a great player so many excuse it and actually act like he's a class act.
The Bulls may not win a championship but I was praying that they didn't get LeBron when they saved all that money up.
Whether it's his clunky play(not my style), his acting, his attention whoring(never seen another player throw a no-look simple pass to a teammate 5 feet away with no defensive pressure after highstep dribbling---all the while having an awful shooting game, etc...
You usually root for whoever is on your team in the name of winning but I just couldn't see myself rooting for him.

You guys can string together your vines and gifs to create your personal NBA-Zeitgeist movie in an effort to convince others a millionaire athlete is faking injuries during the most important time of the season.
Just don't expect to be taken seriously.

Who said he's faking injuries? Now you're the one making stuff up. I said he exaggerates for the cameras which is not a ridiculous conclusion to come to given what I saw last night. One minute he's coming out of the game, the next he's staying in. One minute he's about to pass out from exhaustion, the next minute he's walking around all smiles and high fives.

His ankle was so badly hurt against the Bulls that he had to prop it up all night in agony yet he came right back into the game without a limp.
He hurt his wrist against the Hawks and he was so impeded that he stole the ball on a breakaway and dunked the ball with authority(at least he didn't pose this time like he almost always does).
His credibility is suspect at best.

They looked completely broken in game 3. I think if Golden State gets a 15 point lead at any point in the first half they fold. If they come out strong, there's a decent chance.

I think the Rockets will be up in the 4th by 30 and then lose the whole lead and get beaten by a Curry long threepointer even though Kevin McHale ran him over with a lawn mower during the shot.
But whatever, continue stroking your hate-boner.
I'm just hoping for a competitive finals.

lol fake theatrics now = faking injuries? Nice stretch dude. Guess it's better than nothing after your baseless accusation.

If the old NBA-GAF crew were still around, Lebron would be getting a ton more flak in here.

So Rockets Clippers game 6 with the Splash Brothers leading the comeback? Sounds very entertaining.
But when he takes out Curry "on accident" and destroys the Warriors title chance. It will be too late. It's mind boggling how he's "accidentally" hurt 3 players and hasn't been suspended a single game yet.
You must be a new sports fan. Every sport has fake injuries. But its not usually the face of the sport doing the flopping.
NFL lineman fall down to slow a game down.
Baseball players pretend to get hit by a pitch (which is now fixed thanks to replay)
Hockey players get fined for embellishment (which the NBA needs to start doing + suspensions)
Futbol, don't even get me started.
Millionaires dont ever fake injuries. Never ever.

I'm still waiting for people to tell me what they would have done if they were Taj Gibson and a little bitch locked his legs on you.
I'd imagine every single player in the NBA would have done the same as Taj did.
I'd imagine every single person here would have.
Who knows with this Rockets team. My guess is the warriors are primed to drop one, but they're so good Houston has to actually play well to get it.

Maybe the Warriors should sit Curry this game.
I wouldn't but they could still beat the Rockets.

Rockets have lost 7 games this year to the Warriors, lol
0-7 against them
But the biggest one is that 8th win

Notice how all of those have a benefit in-game?
What does LeBron gain by overplaying his exhaustion or little injuries? That's not for calls and the clock stops anyway. It just does not make sense, unless you have weird obsessions with media narratives surrounding the games.
Silver will personally have a hit put out on him if that happens to Curry. Dude will be a dead man walking.
Curry the new league golden boy.

He didn't hurt Taj Gibson or Al Horford.

No surprise, not sure where the baseless rumors came from. Way too many people arranged stay and such for them to just up and change something like that, let alone dealing with TV stuff.

It's not guaranteed that either the Warriors or Cavs will make the finals.
hmmm...well, I hope your hopes are shattered if they both do make it.
Good. The extra rest will help the Cavs.
If the Warriors chip I don't want to hear how it was tainted by defeating an injured Cavs team.
Lee Chaolan

I hope the same for you. ;o
You're clearly just trolling at this point, so I'm done responding to you after this.
Gibson has a history of leg, ankle and knee injuries. He put him in a leg lock. There was intent to injure
If Taj did that he would have been suspended.
He dove into Horford's legs and Horford retaliated. Intent to injure.
If I dive at your legs in football, thats intent to injure. It's illegal.

Yes, I'm trolling you by stating the fact that he didn't injure two people. edit: I guess, to be fair, I was trolling you about your irrational hatred for Lebron James earlier.
