I would...just bring one of his kids and I guarantee he will go running in the other direction.

Dwight is a physically gifted freak of nature and a great basketball player.

He's also soft as fricking cotton.


He is, but to be fair, people used to call pre-championships David Robinson soft as hell, too, and The Admiral was even more cartoonishly built than Dwight

He is mentally soft-weak- because when he loses he acts like a complete idiot and lashes out with immature behavior, ergo the original topic of this thread.

I guess I just don't see why everyone wants to hate a player so badly. I try to like most players. But I also try to like most people. I think Dwight, like most NBA players, has made some bad decisions, but I don't understand they we expect athletes to be perfect human beings.

I don't want to hate anyone. His actions at time are immature and stupid.

I would rather someone be a complete trash bag off the court than on it.

Oh so when a hockey player enforcer type puts a nice check on somebody he is mentally soft? that's all D12 is doing, just roughing em up a little giving them a parting gift so to speak whats the difference?

It really is amazing how championships completely change perceptions. Thousands of people respect LeBron more because Ray Allen hit a huge three.

I dislike maybe 5-6 players in the league. Just so happens 2 of them play on your favorite team.

I agree with you, but hating is fun and part of sports.

People hate on a lot of guys who're literally the nicest guys off the court/field because of the laundry they wear.

Hell, I still hate vince young for...perfectly legitimate reasons

I think this is too abstract for Boom. He seems to only grasp concrete (I.e., soft as a physical only trait). I wonder he is just a master troll though.

There are ways of doing this without constantly getting in to foul trouble or picking up flagrant fouls.

Notice Duncan on the sideline. And duncan may be the biggest on court whiner in league history. Whopppy you beat D12 when he was hurt who was in the Virgin Islands with his boyfriend for 3 weeks this season while D12 was still hooping in the postseason?

Yeah, they don't remember him bricking the three that somehow rebounded to Ray

God I am so glad the '14 run happened, and always will be. That Finals nearly ruined me as a basketball fan

Boom is like a propaganda minister and you wonder what the hell he is even trying to accomplish in defending the honor of his team at every turn. I give him credit, I thought he would slow down after Clutch City got owned. I wish I had his energy and passion. He could write for Russia Today.
