Even lebron can’t make a winner out of Cleveland
So much more to winning a title than having king James
In the nhl there are teams like the sharks that win the conference every year but can
Never do shit when it matters
Get the Fuck out of Cleveland
He’s not tipping his hand anyway
Just negotiating techniques
I haven’t been following the Lebron thing the last few days…where are they saying he’s gonna go?
you think he’s gonna land with da bulls, bouncin’ aw?
In an interview he’s saying he’s leaning towards Cleveland
well, he is from Northern Ohio…cleveland isn’t exactly the most exciting town in the nation though.
“Actually Jordan, in all his greatness, got a coach fired as a young spoiled superstar and didn’t win jack until he was in his late 20s. ”
That’s definitely the Phil Jackson secret, much more so than his adoption of the triangle offense
he gets superstars to play team ball
an incredible feat really
I think the real knock on Prince James he how he folded up like a cheap lawn chair when pushed by the Celts. He has been regressing in the playoffs. Jordan would still put up great numbers early and seem to progressing, same with Kobe. If he stays in Cleveland, he might not ever win one. Got to get out the home turf and deal with real pressure of a major media market ala NYC. The league has to get this kid to NYC, ratings galore. The NBA is losing money teams are in the red. Of course stern might want to look at the lamest idea since pet rocks the WNBA. Why in the world would the league cont. to pay the bill for a product that has never made a profit and most likely never will.
Pretty sure I caught a woody offa Aqua’s BBQ post, along with C’s authentico Mex post. Can’t say exactly the same for coco cream pie, my moms absolute fave. I was Choco cream and banana cream depending on mood and the diner I was in.
KP and el dude,
do you listen to umphreys? i’m picking sources for shows and a lot of them sound the same to me. looking for .02
yeah I think he’s trying to cushion the blow by talking nice some about Cleveland before bailing
Cleveland has no flexibility and the team as is can’t get it done. There’s no one on that team good enough to be the 2nd or even 3rd best guy on a champion. No one who can take the game winning shot when LBJ is tripled teamed.
Chicago if he wants to win right away. Knicks if he cares only about the brand and making dollars. Nets have a shot based on their crazy-rich new owner and his big plans.
To me if he makes any choice other than the Bulls he’s either a fool or isn’t really focused on championships.
Unless they can pull off some kind of scam to get him and a couple of his other free agent buddies to the Knicks all together…hard to make the numbers add up tho
“I think the real knock on Prince James he how he folded up like a cheap lawn chair when pushed by the Celts. ”
^^^ that’s what I’ve been trying to get at.
More than any other team sport, basketball is largely psychological
Kobe has apparently gotten over his passive aggressive head case bullshit and is playing with ferocious determination
LeBron got hit in the mouth and basically ran like the red headed bully kid in Christmas Story when Ralphie let him have it
Jordan had to learn to take his licks from the Celtics and Pistons, it made him strong
Knicks have the financial flexibility to sign 2 max free agents. Say Lebron and Bosh. They have a 20 year old stud in the making in Gallinari , who is a great outside shooter. That is a pretty good core. Let Donnie Walsh do his magic on some spare parts and you got yourself a 3 seed in a weak eastern conference. Celts are aging quickly, this could be their swan song.
Point being, with the right moves, the Knicks aren’t that far off, especially in the east.
yeah it’s possible if they can get Bosh too which I think they could
not really sure what I think about that guy though
he has never really proved it when the chips are down either
Stoudamire is a free agent too. I think i’d rather have Bosh. But , your right Mr. C. Bosh hasn’t proved much either. then again, he’s been stuck on bad Toronto teams . It will be interesting, that much we know.
Is the NBA Finals game 1 on tonight?
Nevermind…
That would be a no.
I think game 1 is Thursday. Game 2 is Labor Day. Game 3 Christmas Day.
Can they drag this shit out anymore?
On the LeBron thing…
He’s not the best player in the league, that’s Kobe.
But LeBron has more potential to be the best than any other player in the foreseeable future
2 of those April ’86 GD shows I’ve been clamoring about are on page one of bt.etree.org if anyone’s interested… Yes they’re Miller’s
Here on the west coast we very rarely get to see Bosh so I have little to say about him either way.
Stoudamire finally played up to his potential in the second half of this year and as long as he is paired with a great PG he has a lot of upside left too. Not the #1 guy on a champion, but #2.
Whats the story with the Brent meltdown on the 4/21/86 show?
start of the public phase of his woman troubles. not a good show IMO.
Listening to the 4/22 Visions now.

Why Lebron folded like a lawn chair against the Celtics. One thing is for sure Lebron OR Delonte West will NOT be a Cavalier next year.
Bro’s don’t sleep with Bro’s Mom’s
As Chad OchoCinco would say: “Child Please”
When Lebron asks his mom if she’s sleeping with his teammate, does she reply Child Please?
Mitch, I would much rather hear about your pie munching than everyone’s chatter of balls and sticks.
