re: So the Heat have trailed in 4 of their last 5 playoff series

Well curry wasnt cut from granite and given the greatest athletic advantage in the game. So, no. I can appreciate his skill level and not chalk it up to his being a demigod.

I swear i'm not trying to be an a-hole here, but I actually feel sorry for people who are so blinded by any athlete, that they can't appreciate an all time talent when it's staring them right in the face.

Prayers sent.

even as an LBJ hater, i have to admit he is a once in a generation player



but we can't diminish the way Stephen Curry has been playing.

last night was ridiculous. right hand floater. left hand floater. right hand finger roll. left hand finger roll. once he gets hot from the 3pt line they can't leave the defender on an island with him because he's got the drive to lane, floater game down now.


him and Jack both had great moments last night. but i have no idea how they blow a 16 point lead with 3:57 seconds left.


i hope I'm wrong but that might deflate the Warriors.

the camera shots of Pop last night during the timeouts in the 4th quarter, he just had that, "this mothafricka right here...." look

Lebron is the biggest freak of all time. He has an inherent advantage over anyone who's ever played the game. Yes, i understand that theyre all freaks in one way or another. I guess my point is that im jealous of lebron.

And to shell, everyone knows lebrons a baller. You dont have some mystical insight and we the haters are not blind. Guys like curry, crawford, and cp3 are enjoyable to watch because their skills are of such a fine cut, while their athleticism (still insane) and size arent the primary reasons for their successes.

Yea, im a hater.

Cool, that is also nothing like the part I quoted that you said above lol.

Though I still think it's silly because while I understand it's easier to relate to a guy like Curry who may be around your size, but I'd imagine Lebron works just as hard as those guys do, so there's no reason to not appreciate the work he puts in.

Your point is that I should appreciate him bc he's an all-time great? I do appreciate his talent, I watch the heat whenever I can. But I still reserve the right to hate on him. The guy has "chosen one" tattooed on his back and was given life on a diamond platter. I say hate on.

Hating on him and appreciating his talent are 2 different things. ANd to be fair, if you read your post above, it most certainly insinuates that you weren't appreciating his talent.

I swear on absolutely everything that on the previous page when I was going back and forth with KlarkKent, I had a post typed out awaiting on someone to make a post about his back tattoo.

Just like they've done to Chicago the last 2 years. Amirite?
