I couldn't tell who left the floor faster, Lebron or Dirk.

MJ was a huge a-hole.
And if LeBron is the epitome of what's wrong with the NBA it must be in good shape in your eyes.

On and off the court. The arrogance, the thuggery, the complete lack of respect for anything besides those $100 bills.
I'm no lebron fan, but when did he become a thug?
Lebron is no thug. He is just an immature guy.
He will be fine and be able to appreciate all of the controversy he is currently going through once he gets his first title.
Other than the level of his fame at this point in his career, what is different about where he is now and where Dirk was in 2006?
For some reason multitudes of fans (at least on this board) hate Dirk too but that didn't stop him from working on his game.
In the very near future I expect him to get to stand with Bill Russell too.

He left so those immature dickheads on the heat who were joking about his sickness didn't get a chance to shake his hand

Did anyone notice Dirk high tail it to the locker room immediately following the game..no celebration, no handshakes, nothing?
He had just finished Butt F**king the Heat, figured it was time to go get some from his girl too

To think that Dirk would have that on his mind in that situation is ridiculous and would make him as childish as the guys who did it.
Dirk can be the life of the party once he is comfortable with the people around him but he isn't someone who craves attention.
He just wanted to compose himself. Nothing more to it.
I don't think Bayless believes this shite either.
Don't know if you realize it but Skip says a lot that he doesn't believe. It is the only reason he is still a member of the working press.

Dude, MJ was/is one of the biggest assholes you'll ever meet. So was Larry Bird. And I am a huge LB nut hugger. Both were arrogant on the floor, and assholes off of it.

Maybe not an excuse. But it is a valid reason.
I'll be picking Miami to win the whole thing next year unless something drastic happens in the NBA.

it may not fly with you but it is his problem
Cleveland fans won't like hearing it, but Lebron is better off away from Cleveland. Getting out of that nest he was so comfortable with will help him grow up.
Has he grown accustomed to people waiting on him hand-and foot?
Sure he has.
Does he think he's better than you and I because we don't have his fame and money?
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.
Can he grow up and realize all of that is great but really temporary in the grand scheme of life? I don't know but sure hope so.
Hopefully he'll get away from the people who have been advising him on things like The Derision and become his own man.
I really don't think he's a real bad guy.

There are 2 kinds of arrogant. You can be an arrogant a-hole, or you can be cocky but nice. MJ was cocky, some might say arrogant, but he wasnt an a-hole. Never saw a person as cocky as he was that any more likeable.
LeBron is a arrogant a-hole.
See the difference?
Maybe in the public eye. I GUARANfrickINGTEE Lebron is more liked by his team mates and his peers around the league then Jordan was though. Saying Jordan wasn't an a-hole or that he wasn't arrogant is quite a statement.

i agree with this. i think he will win one with the heat in the next two years, then all the critics will be silenced, just as dirks critics were silenced in this years playoffs.
i was pulling for the heat, but im glad to see dirk, terry, and kidd get a ring. dirk and kidd are two of the best players ever, and i believe terry is well on his way to being one of the greatest also.
thats just my opinion.

Terry has been in the league like 12 years, this was his last hurrah IMO. I agree with everything else though. Really glad to see Kidd get one, no one deserves a ring more then that guy.

There is the difference though, MJ was as nice as he could be to the fans. Even the fans that didnt like him. LeBron on the other hand is a little bitch that cant handle that there are people out there that want to see him fail so he lashes out at them.
Arrogant. a-hole. Bitch.
aka LeBron James

Im sure this is correct. James' teamates like him. He's a big baby who loves to dance around and not take shite seriously. Jordan made practice tougher than the games. He basically said, either get on this winning train mfers or jump off. We are here to win titles.
This kind of greatness is what I liked. I could care less if an athlete is a nice guy or not. I never saw him lay down in a game like James has done many times.
James is more of a team clown imo. I really cant respect that.

How fricking EPIC would it had been if Dirk ran to the tunnel and started high fiving an exercise bike. I would have pissed myself.
