(Video) Been waiting to see the @KingJames workout with Hakeem The Dream .. here it is ..
First of all, lets discuss how GOOD HAKEEM WAS at what is CLEARLY 6'9ISH to 6'10. "Cause when he is standing next to Lebron, he isn't towering over him. At all.
Anyway, this shit is unfair man.. For real. @ if he unveils this post game at the right time.
(Video) Since we seem to have forgotten the trouble Lithuania gives Team USA...
Note the plays. Same plays they ran today. Players are just younger.
I will put up Durant's 38 point game against them in 2010 though.
I know we talk about MJ, Barkley and 'em..but what would the GUARDS of this current team ('12) do with JOHN STOCKTON? Laugh is you like but you JUST SAW THAT LITH GAME.. Sarunus is NOT FAST.. Crafty as hell but he DEFINITELY ISN'T BETTER THAN JOHN STOCKTON ON HIS WORST DAY. So the question remains....Maybe y'all don't know.. @ how good Stock was..Maybe you forgot he was on the team.. He was.
Good win by us today. I enjoy actual close basketball games. I don't know about you. @ the complaints
(Picture) @KingJames X @Slamonline X Cover X "Hi Hater"
Almost makes me wish I had went ahead and published the post I did on this. Hell, I might give you a couple of pieces of what I was going to write...Keep scrolling down.. This cover is about what I had in mind though... Doesn't guarantee him a ring but...this probably won't hurt...
Funny how folks were mad at Ray like he was DRAFTED by the Celtics or something. He had to sign off to come to Boston last I checked.. Crazy listening to fans that have had teams with 4-5 HOF a pop on the SAME TEAM. Very interesting to hear the 'manufactured' team bullshit.
Rashard's contract has made him the butt of jokes but lets not get it twisted, he can be key.
You don't respect it? Oh well... You better do like Rik Flair ...learn to live with it....This is one of my followers agreeing with Pistol Water Pete....
The picture speaks for itself but I guess I have to remind you folks that unless you have won a chip with ALL PLAYERS that your team has drafted, I probably don't respect much of what you are talking about when you say stupid shit like this. Let me say it for you REAL SLOW...
Any move..made by any team/player is done for the BETTERMENT OF THEIR SITUATION. What that 'betterment' is depends on the person. If you would have went for the money, good for your greedy ass. He wanted the chip. The same way any GM WHO BRINGS IN TALENT WANTS THE CHIP. You don't frown on that do you? If you do, you are an idiot.
But it wasn't done the 'traditional' way....- You
Folks couldn't drink at certain water fountains a long time ago either. You suggesting we go back to that? Women couldn't work nor vote...I guess you support 'tradition in that sense' too huh? Traditional my ass. Players had no leverage before so....DUH...this didn't happen before. No shit Sherlock. In some cases, SOME DID HAVE IT and messing around with their pride, they had to leave the game without the one thing that all of them wish they had. A ring. Some folks DID TRY AND PLAY WITH THEIR 'RIVALS'/FRIENDS and DIDN'T GET THE JOB DONE. I shouldn't have to holler their names. You should know them.
I've heard all types of bullshit about folks not 'jumping at the chance to play with their friends' on a high level from the SAME FOLKS WHO DON'T LIKE PLAYING 5-5 AT THE DAMM PARK without their '5'. So miss me with that 'I don't respect it..." Some of you won't even PLAY BASKETBALL WITHOUT YOUR 'BOYS' or I have seen you switch teams and SIT OUT GAMES so you could play with your friends...lol*
He signed a contract. He fulfilled said contract. That's it.
The other issue that I've had with 'the criticism' is the fence straddling idea that 'they didn't have a team' and they would never win ANYTHING when they would lose a game to the OTHER POLAR OPPOSITE VIEW CARRIED BY THE SAME FOLKS OF 'They have the three best players so they should win'....Which. One. Is. It? Make. Up. Your. Mind. Stop moving the goal posts folks. **
The idea that this sews up chips for him for YEARS TO COME is pretty wild (not ABSOLUTELY CRAZY THOUGH) but EQUALLY WILD is the 'he has only won one' meme that you guys keep going with like the cat can win 'more than one at a time'. That's laughable and pretty outlandish. He can only play for one chip at a time folks. I mean IF THEY DO WIN NEXT YEAR (They are my favorites), what are you gonna do? Come back to the same meme again? *tears* You sound like a four year old and shit. Stop. Same way that him 'only winning one' doesn't mean he is going to win more is the same way that you can't count him out in games that HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN PLAYED YET. Lets just wait and see shall we? I mean I know y'all like to 'be right and shit' so making such an outlandish statement is the norm but damm. smh
It was nice to hear that Wade was actually hurt too. Lets go on ahead and act like that had 'no bearing' on things at all though like y'all tend to do. @ his knee. I mean I was critical of Wade (Even took to calling him Tyrone on Twitter..it is in the archives somewhere..) but I also said I would give him a pass if it was because of that balky knee. It was. So here is his pass. Not like he NEEDS IT THOUGH CAUSE IT WASN'T LIKE HE DIDN'T DO SQUAT. He gutted it out and turned in some stellar performances. You could tell they weren't typical performances of his though. That's all. For those of you who follow me on Twitter, there is your explanation for the 'Tyrone' thing. lol All in good fun. I am a Wade fan actually. Have been since Marquette. (He won me a lot of money that year!)
Anyway...I hope TEAM USA wins the chip so that EVERYONE on the team gets to feel like a Champ this year...I won't hope that Lebron 'gets a break' 'cause I know some of you hate him like he stole something from you or something..smh
*I'm sure SOMEBODY IS READING THIS RIGHT NOW SAYING.."I know someone like that....OH shit..it is ME..."
** I'd say by the addition, the 'whole team' thing probably isn't going to be used as much... @ all the belly aching.
(Words) The Microwave Sports Fan/Sports Journalists.....Stop burning the proverbial popcorn outchea..
Listen, I'm not going to be as pompous as some of you are in regards to 'being a sports fan'. My 'requirements' aren't that you 'HAVE TO HAVE PLAYED' or done so at a high level. Nor are they of the 'you have to have visited your team's facilities' or any of that other 'counter terrorismish rhetoric' that folks like to spew at people when they want to 'brag about the few times when they have actually left their 'county'. (Never mind State...) Nope, I'm not here for that. What I'm also not here for is the 'Microwave Fan' though. You know the ones I am talking about...
"Trapped in the moment..."
"Lives every sports moment like their name is Skip Stephen Jon Bayless Barry Crawford III.... "
"Only counts rings, last second shots, and 'heroics' of games that if cats SHOWED UP THE ENTIRE GAME LIKE THEY DO IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, the game wouldn't be close. (Did I mention that they get amnesia when their 'favorite star player' misses said game winning shots? Yeah that too...)
Yeah....the good ole microwave sports fan. Put the bag in for say 2:50 minutes, hit the popcorn button and BAM.. Every time you discuss sports around them the shit smells the same...
Just like burnt fucking popcorn..
Sure you could eat it. There are kernels that aren't even burnt truthfully... @ them being right about some things. The fact remains however that the SHIT STILLS REEKS OF BURNT POPCORN thus ruining the experience. SO ANYTHING GOOD IN THE BAG IS OVERSHADOWED by this burnt taste that they INSIST on using. All because they want to shorten the game down to these few things. The sport doesn't even matter either. At present, we are in full basketball swing but this 'talk' happens in football too.
It is funny though 'cause in football, when you apply it to 'certain quarterbacks'....all of the sudden these same 'folks who LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE CLUTCH' want to back up off that topic 'cause it wasn't 'pretty throughout the game'. Why is that I wonder? They are 'different' games? Naw, not really buying that excuse because some of you are the SAME FOLKS WHO GO RIGHT ALONG WITH THE GREATEST ATHLETE MEME on the REGULAR... @ the Jordans, the Jim Browns, The Greztky's, the 'former' Tiger Woods, etc, etc, etc..
So don't back up off of the comparisons NOW BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT YOUR 'ARGUMENT'. You can't be out here 'hating and despising' one cat when you LOVE HIS COUNTERPART in the other sport for all the SAME REASONS. Nope. Sorry. If we can cross reference there, we can do it here. The whole lot of you HATE THOSE TWO CATS I PUT UP THERE. With a passion. They won games though. They were 'clutch'. Don't come with that 'smoke' about the things they 'didn't do' either. Like WHOEVER you are gonna say didn't make the playoffs before. Or hadn't failed. Or hadn't got STRAIGHT SWEPT OUTTA THE PLAYOFFS. Team intact. Ya'll out here 'misremembering' history to be 'right'. I didn't forget though.
So I have to ask, as I have several times on Facebook and Twitter. Why don't we just play each sport like we used to in the backyard. Instead of playing 5-5 basketball, since clearly 'SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE DOMINANT ONE', lets just take it back to some good ole fashion '21'? Shit, better still, lets just play 'Off and On' so that way we can REALLY SEE WHO IS THE BEST ONE ON ONE PLAYER. Since that is all you guys seem to care about. I'm going to address this 'team ball sucks' attitude that some of you have adopted later on in the post though. 'Cause I think some of you have flip flopped on your stance. Real shit. I mean at this point, you guys want the NFL to be 'What Goes Up Must Come Down' outchea...*
I root for the team success Mr. Blogger. If the TEAM WINS then I think the person is the MVP... - You
Cute. Wins what though? Wins chips? We all know how that turns out when you win the MVP....(Some players have won it and chips but there is no guarantee. See that crowning ya'll did of D. Rose last year as proof of that..)... That doesn't guarantee you SHIT except maybe a nice showing and an earlier than expected playoff exit. Ironically enough THAT IS USUALLY THE CASE, except with the guy many of you, for some INEXPLICABLE reason want to DOWN FOR PLAYING 'NON TEAM' BALL, WHO HIT CLUTCH SHOT AFTER CLUTCH SHOT, carried a team of bums to the Finals and oh yeah... lead the L in scoring (31.1), and LEAD THE L IN STEALS (2.6)..(Bring up his assists and you are an idiot 'cause you will be the same person to tell me that ALLEN WASN'T A POINT GUARD so what the fuck you bringing THOSE UP FOR?) I hear a whole lot of you whose 'criteria' is the PERFECT ARGUMENT AS TO WHY AI IS ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT, scoff at that VERY NOTION. Make up ya'lls minds though. -_- Stop burning the popcorn with your selective application of your 'theory'.
Theo Ratliff..Tyrone Hill..Eric Snow..George Lynch.. They aren't Westbrook and Harden I tell ya'... Nor are they Perk.. @ whatever comparisons you are gonna make to what 'KD (or whoever) is doing with whatever team they have.. They aren't Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, CARLOS 'OVERPAID BOOZER', and Rip Hamilton.. @ the 'other comparison that ya'll like to 'throw around'. Stop. It.
That's my issue. Ya'll are some FORGETFUL folks. Rather, you like to 'apply' these theories when they fit your 'agenda'. Much like the talking heads on TV. Speaking of the talking heads on TV...
I believe we used to show highlights when I was little. We saw buzzer beaters. We saw PLENTY OF 'CLUTCH' performances. We also saw PLENTY of teams blow cats out of the WATER from the gate and still get praised for dominating. Dominating GOOD TEAMS too. Not sorry ones. I feel like now though, if it isn't a 'made for TV/movie moment', the FANS don't 'respect it' and that is because of the 'talking heads on TV'. All of the sudden, some of those folks have become 'shrinks, doctors, marriage counselors and oh yeah...EXPERTS' because they have a degree in Journalism. Let me tell you something REALLY QUICK ABOUT 'SCHOOL' for some of you who haven't been and for some of you WHO HAVE BEEN AND YOU SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN.
I love school. I think it is great. I think folks should go if they can. The World is a better place the more 'educated' a person is. That said.... School isn't an AUTOMATIC qualifier in the race to be 'the smartest'. I will say it again REEEEEEEAAAAALLLLLLL SLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW @ those of you who failed reading comprehension (but still want to talk 'school')
It. Is. Not. The. End. All. Be. All. @ school. I know plenty of folks who did WELL in school who couldn't tell me much of ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IT IS THEY DO. I know more about what they do then they do and they have degrees on the shit. I know some folks who articulate MUCH BETTER than those that use 'their degrees' to do other things with or better than those who have a degree PERIOD. Those that APPLY the 'limited knowledge' that hey have WAY BETTER than those who have 'infinite' knowledge. I'm not talking 'paper' here either. I'm talking about knowledge. I know some of you can't fathom having fulfillment without money though but I'm not going to beat that horse to death today. @ how ya'll see success.
I say all of that to say that even with their years 'covering sports', being in the locker room and all of that, they still say and do some things that just 'don't make sense'. Their arguments are pretty 'watered' down and usually based on 'hypothetical things that they would do' that they have (gasps) never done. Sound familiar? Now mind you, I said up top that one doesn't have to have 'played' to discuss sports. I stand by that. I do. That doesn't mean that you have carte blanche to start spewing off what is CLEARLY 'If I were him/her I would do XYZ' and pass it off as 'journalism'. Nope. Sorry. That's glorified, 'If it were me' shit. Something that we can all do. They do it all the time. "If it were me I would be upset by..." Nigga IT ISN'T YOU THOUGH. Of course when the person in question says something that GOES WITH THEIR THEORY, THEY LOOK LIKE GENIUSES. When it goes against it, they just come up with the one LINE WE ALL CAN SAY...
"They are lying"...- Them
Which of course is the EASIEST thing to say about something that you are SPECULATING ON ANYWAY. Even easier when your audience THRIVES ON SPECULATION AND 'THE NEGATIVE'. So of course, everyone just goes with 'Yeah they are lying 'cause I know if I were him I'd be crushed...I felt that way when I lost on my job....Oh wait..I went out that weekend and forgot about that shit by the third drink..nevermind..The point is that the nigga is soft and he is probably crying in his Bentley as we speak right now...'
REALLY? Whatever makes you feel better at night champ... @ you REALLY THINKING THIS. This is the market that they have tapped into. The bitter "I wish it were me 'cause but it isn't so I'm gonna make everything associated with him smell like burnt popcorn' fan... Ole Microwave ass cats..
These dudes on TV (and in turn those in real life who want to be like them) don't stick to discussing 'the facts'. If the facts ARE BOUGHT UP, they sprinkle in 'facts' with personal feelings about what they 'think the athlete is feeling', some shit someone who DOESN'T LIKE THE ATHLETE has confided in them and when all else fails....HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS. The comparisons that they just told you THE SEGMENT BEFORE you 'can't make 'cause that player is NEVER GOING TO BE THEM'....scenarios that have ALREADY HAPPENED and the player has already 'passed'. (See: 4th quarters).....etc, etc...etc..
You idiots fall for it every time. I don't know how many times I have had a sports discussion and it feels like I am 'discussing' with one of their 'sons'. Cats bringing up shit that has NOTHING to do with the game. Bringing up press conferences from 2 years ago... Alluding to rumor an innuendo. Talking about a 'clutch gene' like cats in the past have NEVER MISSED or never passed the ball to others for game winning shots..
Outchea talking about what "Mike would have NEVER DONE' in one breath and then in THE VERY NEXT BREATH quoting that picture when 'their favorite superstar' happens to not 'perform' in a situation and finding ALL TYPES OF excuse.....I mean 'reasons' why they were 'set up to fail'. -_-
Peep the video below man...Fuck outta here telling me what 'Mike would never had done..." 'cause clearly you didn't WATCH MIKE CLOSE ENOUGH. There's a game winner or three for you 'clutch player ass talking cats..' MIXED IN WITH SOME REGULAR PLAYS that you chastise certain folks for making.
The kicker to all of this is you SAME FOLKS will complain about 'the kids' not playing team ball though. -_- Really? REALLY? How could they possibly think that 'team ball' IN ANY SPORT is important when they have the likes of you RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING WHO IS AND ISN'T CLUTCH? You basically run 'team ball' right up under the 'wheels of the bus' EVERY CHANCE YOU GET. Wasn't it that mentality that 'supposedly' got us beat in '04? You know when it was 'AI's fault' we got beat? You remember that right? Oh you forgot? Let me remind you...Same cats you want to 'play selfishly' did that AND YA'LL LAMBASTED 'EM for it. All because you didn't know that other players in the World played the game unselfishly and could win that way...
The NBA is different though...- You..
Is it?
You sure??
Oh...okay.. 'Cause it SURE LOOKED TO ME like those teams (one of which I only put up ONE OF THEIR CHIP SERIES UP) WERE COMPRISED OF role players, unselfish folks and folks who played team ball. Who DEFERRED to others on their teams FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE TEAM.. I could be wrong though..Don't worry..I'm NOT though. -_-
You can't have it both ways either. You can't 'complain' about them 'not beating them' 'cause they had 'better talent' then say 'Team ball wins chips' like some of you are INFAMOUS for doing out here. @ all of the 'Dream Teams',Big Threes and fours, talented on paper teams, etc, etc. You have to pick a side. That means you on TV too. Pick one. That's why I can't with some of you 'Microwave sports fans and journalists' outchea.. Ole fickle asses. I saw ya'll turn on Kobe last night too...smh Like Pau didn't make that ill advised pass (Not that he deserved DEATH THREATS...)
Someone has to hold these athletes 'accountable' though.... - You
My response to that is quite simple.... This actually applies to some of the cats on TV as contrary to popular belief, I KNOW the field that they are in is NOT what their Momma wanted for 'em. They've told us as much...
So let's not talk about 'accountability' shall we? If you 'aren't on Fries', that's cool too. @ those of you on TV or who are successful. Just don't act like you can't be called on the carpet too, like Jalen and some other athletes have come on that show (and a couple of others) and done. You are not above REPROACH either. I don't care if it is 'your job to critique or not'. Some of you aren't critiquing, you are nitpicking and in turn you have turn the 'average sports' fan into a 'Microwave' fan. Hiding behind that 'journalism' tag to spit your lava. Spewing burnt popcorn all over. Own up and take accountability for THAT. Since you want to hold 'what people say' to a 'standard'. One thing I never PRETEND TO BE ON HERE is 'above that'. I've crossed lines and can ADMIT IT and more importantly HAVE RECTIFIED IT. Some of you just flat out refuse to though and it isn't all jokes. I hear the pure resentment in your voice behind those jokes..lol I see you out here. Lighten up Nas.... Or smarten up one..
*We are about to find out who REALLY PLAYED FOOTBALL WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE. @ What Goes Up Must Come Down... I KNOW YOU REMEMBER PLAYING THAT AS A KID. Do kids still even play that? @ EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF FOOTBALL.
(Words) @KingJames decision to pass the ball to Udonis Haslem.
I don't have to put the play up. You all saw it. Wait...I might have to 'cause some of you seem to think he wasn't 'doubled'..smh He made the right play. Why UD though you say (more on that later) but lets not act like that play hasn't been asked of UD before and he hasn't delivered. @ making a jumper. This play was CALLED for him to do so. Remember when cats were saying 'they are missing Haslem'? That's why. He hustles, gets boards and...(gasps) draws 4/5's out to the foul line where he....you guessed it...hits jumpers.

But...but...if you are a great player...you are SUPPOSED TO TAKE ALL THE CLUTCH SHOTS MR. BLOGGER... YOU HAVE TO BE THE MAN ALL THE TIME... .- You
WRONG. Everybody you are about to name, including arguably the greatest player ever knew it was a team game and they passed the ball according to the situation. Larry, Mike, Kobe, WHOEVER YOU WANT TO NAME WHO HAS CHIPS....gave that ball up. It is the VERY REASON THE VAST MAJORITY OF YOU HAVE CITED THAT OTHER 'GREATS' (wrongly might I add) don't have rings. "Cause they were too selfish. Sometimes it works and we get a GREAT MEMORY....sometimes they miss and the other team wins...Sometimes they play well...sometimes they don't... It happens. Ya'll out here forgetting though..
They didn't call Magic...'Tragic Johnson' for nothing... at that time..
Ya'll out here talking about 'Great players don't shrink in big moments'? Yeah? You sure plair?
This is LARRY LEGEND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. TOP 50 PLAYER. At the time, he was THE MAN TOO. Disregard his age. @ 24. He had turned their franchise around. He wasn't hurt. (That was the 90's...) He was healthy. Just didn't play well. Matter of fact, CORNBREAD PLAYED BETTER THAN HE DID that series. And Cornbread Maxwell is no D. Wade either. Good player but not D. WADE... But ya'll wanna say he 'never' pulled a Lebron. (as you like to call it.) They won btw... lol We aren't discounting Bird's chip though. (Nor should we. We'd be stupid to.)
Now I wasn't going to write this but I feel like I should now that I keep hearing folks whose OPINIONS I RESPECT outchea rewriting history to be right. Saying what the 'great ones' did when they were in these situations. Oh really now?
You can start at the 4:25 mark in case you have amnesia.. Scottie got the ball. Passed it to Mike. He got doubled...he sh....NO HE PASSED IT TO STEVE KERR...WHO THEN DID WHAT? Hit the shot. Arguably the greatest player of all time... last I checked.
Surely Kobe never passes right..for game winners? Derek Fisher is on line one...
Oh wait...let me show you Kobe doing pretty much what you guys wanted Lebron to do...and getting bailed out by BIG SHOT BOB... 'Cause they don't win the game if Horry doesn't hit that shot. But Kobe always makes the right play? (Pssst..Shaq's man (Scott Pollard) came to double. He should have passed the ball...) Not the right play to make that just happened to work out. Ya'll remember it how you want but that is what happened. They got lucky.
Now this next guy (who I bought up all over Twitter) used to get CRITICIZED LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER by the vast majority of you for being a gunner. He made CLUTCH SHOT AFTER CLUTCH SHOT IN SCENARIOS WITH DEFENDERS DRAPED ON HIM BUT YET, YOU HATED IT.
He is not a fundamental basketball player...
He doesn't make his teammates better....
He shoots when there are people open...
1:22 illustrates his game perfectly. It was basically 4-1... and he made the shot. I remember that shot. Folks dismissed it because it wasn't the 'proper' basketball play...
Which brings me back to my point. Ya'll have to make up your minds out here. Either you want folks to play fundamental basketball or hero ball. You get on this dude here for 'going for his' all the time....
...cause he wants to be elite (read: great) like his teammate. In order to do that, he has to take shots. Which in turn causes pressers like this..
Which one do you want? Lebron made the right play. Period. He forces that shots and you idiots get amnesia and make videos like this....
Criticism is pretty unfair out here on this topic right now. Broads who only wanna knock off players making 'game observations' about him not having a ring, or not being clutch. Niggas out here who couldn't make three straights layups out here talking about missed shots when the man has proven he can hit 'em at winning time..
Oh you miss 'Cleveland Lebron' you say?? Oh you mean the one who PASSED TO Andersen and 'em IN ADDITION to making clutch shots?
So to act like him 'passing' when the game is on the line or not is some SIN when it is his greatest gift is PRETTY STUPID TO ME. I see analyst, former players and all sounding like COMPLETE IDIOTS OUT HERE talking that 'I'd rather my best player just take the bad shot and I could live with it then pass it off' and then when a team's best player does JUST THAT, they have blasted him for it. Or...or...they don't subscribe to that theory at all UNLESS IT IS LEBRON JAMES involved in it.
When cats start criticizing a 'potential clutch moment' from a GLORIFIED PICKUP GAME, you know the hate has jumped the shark. For real. This shit is SILLY OUT HERE.
Some of you need to turn in your 'I'm a basketball expert' card in. @ all of this silly talk. I hope you NEVER coach anyone's kid out here 'cause some of you are the reason that some of these kids think they are so 'special' now. @ the mentality that some of them have.
Then ya'll will want to complain about the lack of the 'right' play being made by SO MANY OF THEM. Albeit, many of them who AREN'T AS TALENTED AS THE PLAYERS THEY ARE TRYING TO EMULATE (OR THE ACTIONS YOU WANT THEM TO EMULATE FROM SAID PLAYER) BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT. *
Look, if he makes a boneheaded play, LIGHT HIM UP.** No problem. You can't light him up for making the 'right basketball' play though. Sorry. Not if you 'know basketball' like you say you do. Not when you LIGHT UP OTHER BASKETBALL PLAYERS for playing a 'selfish' brand of basketball EVEN WHEN THEY ARE CLEARLY THE BEST PLAYER ON THEIR TEAM..(Monta Ellis...Brandon Jennings...etc...etc..)
Stop getting amnesia out here.. and stop rewriting history so you can 'be right'. @ what the 'greats did'.. Like Larry Legend, a great passer, NEVER PASSED THE BALL TO SOMEONE FOR THE GAME WINNER. Like Mike didn't.. (Maybe 1-7 Mike didn't..he didn't win a chip either.. That was the KNOCK! Maybe some of you are too young to remember that...)
I'll leave you with one of the many folks who benefited from a MJ kick out pass... (:32 second mark illustrates this)
*This is where cliches get you in trouble. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take' and every other one you folks want to suddenly remember..When someone doesn't take the shot you want them to, passes it to their open teammate and misses, NOW YA'LL WANT TO REMEMBER THESE SAYINGS. Where is all this chatter when the open teammate MAKES THE SHOTS THAT WIN CHIPS.. Oh that's right..It's a great play.
**Ya'll should be criticizing the person who used D. Wade as a decoy @ who called the play. Ya'll want it to be Lebron's fault though.. I know... Shane had the hot hand during the game, which is why he was in the corner..I got that. Not sure WHY your best rebounder (even though he has made that shot before), with NO BOSH is out there taking that shot.... Lets criticize that part of the equation. I think that is valid.
(Live streaming video) @CP3's Charity game.. Courtesy @TakeAsheet ft. @KingJames, @CarmeloAnthony, @D_West30 @KDTrey5....
John Wall, Steph Curry and many more...UPDATE: I have some highlights now...
If it is recorded, I will put up the embed for later viewing. I don't know if it will be though....
If it is recorded, I will put up the embed for later viewing. I don't know if it will be though....
I don't know how much of the Goodman game with Lebron, Chris Paul, KD and "Melo but.....video
Here is a mix of some of the plays there. (Those live look-ins that they had on ESPN were a good look too..)
I see you @MikeVick..with the @KingJames Witness shirt on ESPN....
I didn't get a chance to catch this...I wish I had seen the whole thing live. (Looks for more video)
Look here...Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it doesn't make it right: Rondo's injury..
Last night, I think we ALL saw Rajon Rondo go down. It was VERY UNFORTUNATE. He made impact with the ground, put his hand down to brace himself and dislocated his elbow. I think that the only thing SOME OF US CAN AGREE ON IS THAT HE DISLOCATED HIS ELBOW. I had a LITANY of (If I say so myself, pretty HOMERISH/I HATE THE HEAT fans) folks say Wade TRIED TO HURT HIM. Lets look at the video..
At the .05 second mark of the video, Rondo goes to GET AROUND WADE TO GET THE BALL THAT WAS GOING OUT OF BOUNDS. He thought he had a steal. COOL! Only thing is, his arm is ON WADE'S FUCKING HEAD. He tried to hook around Wade by using HIS NECK...TWICE. It is RIGHT THERE ON THE TAPE. No need to speculate. No need to make it up. YOU CAN SEE THE CAT TRYING TO DO IT.
One issue though. Wade isn't some lil guard. Normally, when the very strong for his size Rondo does that, the cat goes flying. Not Wade. Wade hooked him BACK, they got tangled up and DOWN THEY WENT. That's Wade's fault 'cause he didn't 'bitch up' and let the smaller Rondo perform the 'hook and go get the steal' on him? No.
But NO.....I HEARD SO MANY OF YOU IDIOTS saying Wade did that on PURPOSE. Like he knew if he hooked Rondo back, Rondo would, at that EXACT MOMENT, reach back to brace his fall and maybe 'break his arm' (As some you so EXPERTLY SPOUTED OFF ON TWITTER...) Really? Really?
Look, I know in hindsight, some of you are gonna say 'I was just playing my nig..." but urm....your tweets say DIFFERENT. Then you started RTing fools saying that same foolish. Sounding like a bunch of idiots. I heard one fool 'Wish death upon Wade and his kids.." (I wish I had screen shot that shit. I would have put it up here. I promise you I would have...) Word? Death? Word?
Like I said on Twitter, I can tell which ones of you played ball/actually know what you are talking about by what you tweet. 'Cause that shit was absurd to say. @ Wade doing it on purpose. I have even heard some of you WHO HAVE PLAYED saying stupid shit like this in the past. What is wrong with you people? lol Basketball is a CONTACT SPORT HOLMES. I don't know what kinda sissy ball you play where you live but I have played the game in a LOT OF PLACES. There was one constant. CONTACT.
The kicker of this though is him COMING BACK INTO THE GAME. Oh ya'll got down on your knees when he came back in. Like he is the first cat to come back in the game with a dislocated ANYTHING. Elbow. Finger, Arm. Hip. Disk in back...And I am only ALLUDING TO ONE PLAYER IN PARTICULAR WHO DID THIS ON THE REGULAR. (There are SO MANY MORE BUT I HAD TO PULL THE BIG GUN OUT FOR THIS ONE..) This player wasn't playing with the likes of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce either when he did this. He played with George Lynch. Eric Snow. And a bunch of other bum ass niggas. Yeah..you know who he is. Ya'll didn't appreciate that.
Oh I have another one too. He was actually playing YESTERDAY (He admittedly didn't play well and well...his team fucking lost. I am not you. I know how to say it. ) Only you guys like to 'blame that performance' on something else. Again, no KG's and the like on his team. Just a bunch of Anthony Parker's, Mo Williams and JJ Hickson.s....
I digress though....
Look...I don't wish bad on Rondo. Glad to see he was able to come back. I am just not as 'forgetful'/anti a person as some of you are. It is the reason why I don't discuss A LOT OF THINGS with some of you. You are too hoemotional with your ideas. I guess you feel because you have like minded folks that are as hoemotional as you are, that makes you 'right'. No homie. It just makes ya'll a GROUP OF HOEMOTIONAL PEOPLE. We get it. You don't like Lebron. You don't like Wade. You don't see your 'Big Four' (You have four DAMM ALL-STARS..Talk about parity...) coming together by addition as the same sin you label Lebron's decision as. Despite the fact that you, in true hypocritical fashion, claim BOSH SUCKS. How can they be a 'Big Three if Bosh sucks? You seem to REALLY READILY forget now that Pau is playing like his name is PAULA that you STILL STOLE HIM FROM MEMPHIS* in the short term.'Cause you weren't screaming, "We gave up Marc Gasol, how ever will we go on now?" when you got Pau now were you? You were screaming "We are about to GET THIS CHIP FOR SURE NOW!". That's what you were screaming. I guess after pointing all this out I should probably 'forget' having a rationale conversation with you about your 'hatred' for a team that you all PRETTY MUCH HAVE SAID "Won't get a chip" huh? Nope. For even if the C's beat Miami and win the chip, you KNOW THE TRUTH. You know that without a similar 'Decision', you would still be cursing Paul Pierce for taking too many shots and still be pissed at Cakes Walker for shooting ya'll outta games in their prime years. (I told you...I don't forget. I am not a casual fan...Like many of you seem to be..) So go ahead and hold onto that bitter feeling. Oh and to those TRULY OBNOXIOUS LAKERS FANS OUT THERE (I know some cool ones so I am not talking to you..) you already know. In the words of 9th Wonder recently, "If Kobe is who ya'll say he is....Now is the time for him to be that guy..."..That's all I have to say...
*You can sight Memphis's playoff performance as proof it wasn't if you want but WHERE HAS MEMPHIS BEEN THE LAST TWO YEARS? Oh that's right...AT HOME. I would give the combo of ZACH/Lionel Holland's and the play of (I can't believe I am typing this) Mike Conley more credit for the surge than I would Marc's improvement. Thanks for playing though.....
At the .05 second mark of the video, Rondo goes to GET AROUND WADE TO GET THE BALL THAT WAS GOING OUT OF BOUNDS. He thought he had a steal. COOL! Only thing is, his arm is ON WADE'S FUCKING HEAD. He tried to hook around Wade by using HIS NECK...TWICE. It is RIGHT THERE ON THE TAPE. No need to speculate. No need to make it up. YOU CAN SEE THE CAT TRYING TO DO IT.
One issue though. Wade isn't some lil guard. Normally, when the very strong for his size Rondo does that, the cat goes flying. Not Wade. Wade hooked him BACK, they got tangled up and DOWN THEY WENT. That's Wade's fault 'cause he didn't 'bitch up' and let the smaller Rondo perform the 'hook and go get the steal' on him? No.
But NO.....I HEARD SO MANY OF YOU IDIOTS saying Wade did that on PURPOSE. Like he knew if he hooked Rondo back, Rondo would, at that EXACT MOMENT, reach back to brace his fall and maybe 'break his arm' (As some you so EXPERTLY SPOUTED OFF ON TWITTER...) Really? Really?
Look, I know in hindsight, some of you are gonna say 'I was just playing my nig..." but urm....your tweets say DIFFERENT. Then you started RTing fools saying that same foolish. Sounding like a bunch of idiots. I heard one fool 'Wish death upon Wade and his kids.." (I wish I had screen shot that shit. I would have put it up here. I promise you I would have...) Word? Death? Word?
Like I said on Twitter, I can tell which ones of you played ball/actually know what you are talking about by what you tweet. 'Cause that shit was absurd to say. @ Wade doing it on purpose. I have even heard some of you WHO HAVE PLAYED saying stupid shit like this in the past. What is wrong with you people? lol Basketball is a CONTACT SPORT HOLMES. I don't know what kinda sissy ball you play where you live but I have played the game in a LOT OF PLACES. There was one constant. CONTACT.
The kicker of this though is him COMING BACK INTO THE GAME. Oh ya'll got down on your knees when he came back in. Like he is the first cat to come back in the game with a dislocated ANYTHING. Elbow. Finger, Arm. Hip. Disk in back...And I am only ALLUDING TO ONE PLAYER IN PARTICULAR WHO DID THIS ON THE REGULAR. (There are SO MANY MORE BUT I HAD TO PULL THE BIG GUN OUT FOR THIS ONE..) This player wasn't playing with the likes of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce either when he did this. He played with George Lynch. Eric Snow. And a bunch of other bum ass niggas. Yeah..you know who he is. Ya'll didn't appreciate that.

Hilarity...Bomani Jones on Lebron's hairline..Might wanna listen 'cause it isn't what you think...
I guess I should add something but he really said it all. Ya'll know I am a Lebron fan too but he is wearing a small hand towel on his head at this point so this is warranted..Besides, as the video says....others feel his pain...Ya dig?
Shoutout to my peoples in the barbershop I go to reading this right now CRACKING UP AND BEJIING A CAT UP AT THE SAME TIME breathing life into someone's hairline as we speak. I see you.*
@Dwadeofficial's alley to @KingJames and Wade making Evan Turner do the Cha Cha Slide..videos...
I like Jrue as a player actually. He plays in my home TV market so I see him play all the time. Still...I'mma need him to STOP JUMPING WHEN ALLEY OOPS ARE THROWN...
...and Evan is gonna be aight..Expectations are high as a #2 pick..I understand....They don't have a players like this in the Big Ten.
@YoungChris...courtesy of @GoodfellaMedia...Interview. Part 1....Speaks on Jay, Lebron and more..
