CaneBrain 95 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 could not agree more. Comparing the 2 off nights offensively of Kobe+Lebron is apples+oranges. and my beef with that game didnt come after The Decision. Damn, kinda wish Colangelo had kept his mouth shut. Now the other team is gonna TRY!I know you are joking but given the rosters in Cleveland and Toronto and the chip on the Heat's shoulder I could see Miami @ Cleveland and Miami @ toronto be running up the score ugly.

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I think the Heat could be a scary DEFENSIVE team if Lebron is really motivated for a change. Maybe he should watch some video of Scottie Pippen, Ultimate Defender.I love Scottie Pippen. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Jordan and Kobe do disagree because they are pathologically competitive. I don't expect most people to be wired like that. Outside of pro sports, guys like that are called assholes.Or they could be called hard workers. The guys who show up to a real job, work their asses off, dont take nights off, and just generally bust their ass so their famillies can eat+live comfortably.Yeah, I ranted, but you brought up outside of pro sports as a way of defending an athelete not always giving it his all. Just cause he's not ultra-competitve doesnt mean he shouldnt always be giving it an honest effort.As for inside of pro sports, with that kinda of attitude, they are usually called champions.

What did Kobe score against us, 212?Who knowse, maybe someone on the Raptors will actually care enough to send a message to the other team, should they feel the score is being run up against them. I wouldnt count on it though, Raptors havent had any balls in years. Link to post Share on other sites

For him, it went way beyond "being a hard worker." I think you vastly overestimate how many average people give it their all at their job day in day out. VASTLY. Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJon 175 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Come on. Jordan built up slights for 7 years before he took out the rest of the NBA with great vengeance and furious anger. I could not be more excited for angry Lebron.I think we all remember what happened when Goku got angry against Frieza.Oh yeah... Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Maybe he should watch some video of Scottie Pippen, Ultimate Defender.I love Scottie Pippen.It's stupid how good he was.It's even stupider that him, Jordan and Rodman all played on the same team. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 6-24 and 3-14 happens. He wasn't blasted for shooting poorly; he was killed for a serious lack of effort. There was a whole lot of standing around watching in that game.Game seven of the 2006 lakers-suns series, kobe took 3 shots in the second half and scored 1 point. And now he's considered a jordan level "killer" who would never quit on his team. Sports fans have the memories of goldfish. Link to post Share on other sites

Sports fans have the memories of goldfish.That's because he was on fire, had like 25 and they were still down 15 at halftime. That and he was forced to bring the ball up because Smush Parker was on the team, and they were doubling him as soon as he crossed halfcourt. Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure I'm just letting him go by.I remember in high school doing a drill where we were learning how to take a charge and sell it. When it was my turn I got my chest into the guy and went down straight onto my back. Coach yells, "That's how you do it!" Of course, he didn't realize that I took the charge from a football player who just lowered his shoulder and ran me over; there was no selling it on my part. Link to post Share on other sites
keith crime 8 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 back in the day I was the only one who defended Pippen during the last second shot Kukoc I'll sit out debaclesitting out was wrong but when I was in chicago they always said michaels the man he takes the last shot to be the man you have to take the last shotthen michael retired and they put all this pressure on Pippen to take over the reins - can you be Michael?he got so much shit early in his career for not being michaelhe was on a tv when he was a rookie and someone asked him _ Michael shoots free throws with his eyes closed why are you shooting 70%so then he has an MVP like season and after he is told over and over again to be the man - he doesn't get that respect back - they don't let him take the last shotif Michael had protested he would have gotten the ballto make it worse they didn't pay Pippen what he deserved because Krause was in love with the idea of Kukoc who couldn't hold scottie's jock on his best dayscottie was the key to the Bulls Michael always had a good game if Scottie did too they never lostplus his d on Magic to win that first title was sickI'm really sad to see that he's had financial troubles Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJoJo 18 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I remember Pippen destroying Kukoc in the '92 Olympics the first time they played against each other. Held him to something like 4 points.Edit: 2-11, 4 points, 35 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Talk show here in Toronto, a football player for the Argos is asked if it was accurate that Bosh didnt get the proper attention here in Toronto as an American, that he might now he's back in the States. "Attention? Anything I ever heard about basketball here was all about him. If he thinks he'll get it in Miami, he's mistaken. There, he isnt Batman or Robin. He's Alfred." lmao!

And you get to talk to whales and stuff. Wait, what are we talking about?Edit: Anyway, I don't think anyone can argue that Bosh hasn't received more attention these past two months than he has the rest of his career.

Getting attention in America isnt always synonymous with respect or talent though. Come to think of it, it rarely is.I just found the Alfred line funny, and I actually started playing out a SNL skit in my head of W+L ordering around CB like a gopher.Whatever makes Christopher happy. He deserves it after roughing it out here for all those years. Poor guy. Link to post Share on other sites
