PP7 for heisman

quote:

---

He’s none of those things. He’s 6-8 about 240lbs tops,

---

You are (incorrectly) taking an inch away from his height and acting like it's some massive difference.

quote:

---

he’s fast for that size yes but one of the fastest players, no.

---

This is just incorrect.

quote:

---

You must have missed that 07 series, he was shite, Bowen made his name there.

---

Like I said, Bowen had made 7 (of his 8) all defensive teams by the time that series took place. Totally "made his name" as a great defender in his 15th (of 17) professional basketball season.

you talk like you watched a media clip of Lebron and regurgitated it. If he were close to that good he’d have won a whole lot more. The league bent itself to help him do that and he still couldn’t.

---

What are you talking about lol. The league responded to him and superteams were formed around the league.

He carried some horrendous Cavs teams deep in the playoffs. He lost to the dynasty spurs, Mavs got him, and then the dynasty warriors, then everyone else caught up with super teams. I don't even give him credit for the bubble. Outside of his time with the Heat, he never had the best roster in the league. He won a title in Cleveland without the best roster in the league - something other greats were never able to do.

It's not his fault there were no expansion teams to pick on in the later years of his career. He played during a time when the NBA was (is) as talented as it's ever been.

Go ahead and look at the rosters of the bottom barrel teams from that era. They don't come close to modern rosters. Like, not remotely close. shite, even some of the playoff teams of that era are extremely underwhelming from a talent standpoint. It's not even the same sport anymore.

You hate Lebron and love 80s and 90s basketball, we get it. No one cares.

you can see why Jay really likes him

---

shite, you can see why pro scouts loved him.

There was a clip on twitter where he was throwing a bullpen in an indoor facility before the draft, and there was legit like 25 pro scouts sitting behind the plate with guns. See below:

Everyone just needs to be patient with him, and basically throw this year out the window as far as next years expectations go.

Is LJ considered fast?

You serious?

The 6'9 275 athletic freak who is best known for chase down blocks? Yeah he could fly lol. One of the fastest players in the NBA.

Gotcha. Hope everything is alright.

Would love if Simpson hit like 15 HR over the next 2 months.

Some pitchers want to work fast (Casan Evans, Sheerin - and I guess Fontenot) and just want the ball back in their gloves.

Little late but that play was a microcosm of the season.

Pitch ultimately beats the batter, jamming him into a 100 foot 45 mph blooper. We're shifted to the pull side but somehow the ball finds its way through that pull side shift. The defender who tried to make the play got hurt. Then the best player on the team slipped on his arse trying to field the ball.

Just one of those years.

this is one of the exemptions listed

Got it. I didn't read the entire bill, but the notion is just so stupid.

College kids, like everyone else, have shite go wrong in their lives. It's stupid to add such a massive burden for a program like TOPS. Especially considering what the goal of the program is.

The government is giving you a loan with no interest that you only have to pay off if you don’t meet the stipulations set.

But that's not what they're doing.

They're giving you a performance based grant. If you fall below performance standards set forth in the terms of the grant, you should absolutely lose it.

In no world should you have to repay the grant because you failed to meet future standards.

What happens if you lose TOPS for something out of the ordinary like a family member dying? Or if you sustain a serious injury and are forced to take less than the minimum required credits for TOPS(something that happened to someone I know)? Or you're simply an extremely ambitious student that got in a little over their head with hard classed and end up with a 2.9 GPA?

You're going to slam the (already overburdened) court system with appeals of default judgments. It's going to slow down an already slowed down state. Not only that, but you're going to severely limit and hinder students who want to do more.

Imagine being a senior. You've been on TOPS for 3 years and 11 months, and are one final away from graduating. You're already extremely stressed and have enough bullshite to deal with between family, job applications and interviews, and other general life stuff. You know that, if you fail this test, you are going to have to pay back $50k plus to the state (who won't spend it properly) and start your post graduate life in a MASSIVE hole. What do you think that would do to a person?

Why would you go to LSU and accept TOPS if you knew that, due to any number of circumstances, you could end up having your wages garnished at 21? It's a moronic idea.

I’ll never understand your hatred for seemingly every LSU head coach.

He was probably coming here, but I bet he preferred Kiffin over both BK and Rhule.

because the #4/#5 corner got hurt? What?
