Rosen has always downed Paul. I remember when CP had like a 31 PER around the allstar break a few years ago, and he said Paul needed to put on 10lbs of muscle to be in the same league as Nash and Deron

I'd pull the trigger on that deal before Presti could finish getting it out of his mouth.

So we're going to ignore one of the biggest choke jobs in NBA finals history? Like I said, Lebron folded like a paper napkin.

I shared my opinion. You can agree or disagree, but I prefer CP3 and Durant.

And what choke job may we be talking about. And nba finals history? Holy shite. That's pretty steep even though I don't have a clue what your talking about. Lebron has been clutch. He has hit game winning shots n playoffs. Cp3 hasn't.

You expected a team starting Sasha Pavlovic and Drew Gooden to beat the Spurs in the finals? Seriously? Their key bench guys were Eric Snow and Donyell Marshall. I'm guessing you don't even know who most of those guys are, as you don't seem to be the most knowledgeable poster.

That's fine, just understand that you're going against all objective evidence and common sense instead of getting an attitude when called out on it.

I'm not talking about the other players here. I'm talking about Lebron James. I didn't expect them to win, but Lebron shrunk under the pressure and it was blatantly obvious to anyone watching. He looked like a deer in the headlights.

I'm also not getting an attitude. I thought it was quite the douche move for you to imply that anyone who disagreed with your opinion is ignorant. I'm not the only person that feels that way and I've stated my reasons why I feel that way. You then came back with stats like they are the end-all, be-all answer to any argument.

That said, I actually misspoke when I said NBA Finals. I actually meant the series against the Celtics last year. The dude gave up. That was clear and no matter what your statistics say, THAT said all I needed to know about Lebron.

There isn't an active player that lives up to the shite you are spewing.

Lebron is by far the most dynamic and best player in the league.

Have you ever heard of Kobe Bryant? Also, Kevin Durant is making a run at that title.

I'm not trying to say he isn't a great player, but I don't want any player that flat-out gives up like Lebron at the end of last season. I think that's the point you are all missing. The guy earned his MVP awards. He works hard and is a physical freak, but I seriously question his heart. I think that's the main thing that separates Kobe Bryant from him. Kobe doesn't know how to crab dribble, though.

So Kobe has never given (or not played up to his abilities) in a big series or game?

Didn't Lebron have a ridiculous triple double in their elimination game?

Also the game in question he went 15/6/7.

Your trashing of Lebron makes you come off dumb.

I can't think of any time Kobe has given up the way Lebron did.

I don't know his stat line and really don't care.

I'll come off as dumb and you come off as a douche. We put it together and it's still a matter of opinions on the internet. Get over yourself, Stan.

I'm not trashing Lebron. I just don't think

You make it really easy to refute your points when you say stuff like that. LOL.

Wait, what?

Lebron, at like 21 years old, leads a team of absolute scrubs to an NBA Finals against the freaking Spurs, and you're beating him down for not performing well in that Finals?

Dude, you seriously couldn't possibly be any more biased than you are.

WOW!!!

...uh. Yes.

You don't get a pass for being young when you're the quote un quote "King". Basically, 21 year old LeBron is exempt from criticism because he's young...yet in the same friggin' sentence he gets praised for doing it when he's 21.

Trying to have it both ways, hm?

I actually misspoke when I said Finals. That's on me. I was actually talking about the total flake job he pulled against the Celtics. The dude folded and it was almost painful to watch. His childish behavior since that time has only further cemented my opinion of his competitive spirit.

I would take CP3 over Lebron. Now, would you really like to get into a debate comparing our intelligence?

I love how you wankers have nothing better to do than argue a total hypothetical here. There is no way on fricking earth we are getting Lebron. Again, you are acting like I'm saying Lebron is terrible. I'm not. I'm saying he gave up in the Celtics series and I (me, myself, yo, je) was turned off completely by it. I actually liked him and considered him the best player in the league until he pulled that shite. If you disagree, I don't give a shite, but don't act like one of us is right and one is wrong, as it is all opinion.

So you don't think he's that great and yet at the same time, you expected him to magically take his team of scrubs and beat the Spurs?

That is completely logical.

If you can show me a series where you could visibly see Kobe give up, please do so and we'll discuss it. Kobe does have those 5 rings arguing his case, though.
