lol. There are no reasons to hate curry. I dont sound like I hate him, but im not his fan.. If I keep bringing out points to love lebron, y'll would still be bringing out his faults.

And we talking about good player, his achievemnts, were not talking bout his behaviour, funny u said he has leadership issues. I doubt that, we're not talking about behaviour, when he retires, they wont remember him for his behaviours, they'll remember him for his achievemnts.. For example we all know kanye west is damn too arrongant and aggressive but when We look at his avhievemnts, 21gramys, TLOP album rocked they world his shoes went platinum, we hardly notice his behaviours and focus more on his achievents.

And I can't stand over 8 curry's fan over here.. But when we talk of achievemnts. Lebron has more Thats all i'm concerned about and not his behaviours
When did you become a warriors fan?
Funny enough Kanye West alluded to it in one of his raps on a track 'New god Flow' : "Went from most hated to the champion god flow/I guess that's a feeling only me and Lebron know" that's on a lighter note.

As for the emboldened, you should have said SO FAR. After all, Lebron won a ring before Jordan(by months or so albeit both were 28), but we all know Lebron won't win 6. Curry won his first aged 27. He is 28 now and could very well win his next. Who knows, he might just do a 3-peat by 29. grin

Let me not get ahead of myself. He needs to take care of business today or else, there won't even be another ring.

So you agree LeBron is an Arse with behavioral and social issues but you don't care about that you just care about he's achievement. Well you're right. Once a legend, always a legend. History does not remember Humility or Arrogance.
Kobe was also accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a hotel in Colorado (2003). Kobe admitted to having sex
with the 19-year-old but not assaulting her. The case was dropped in court later on.

Remember when was fined $25,000 by the NBA in 2008 for flashing gang related hang syymbols (Bloods). Pierce denied it, saying it was a sign used by the team.

Also remember when pierce was almost killed in 2000, when he was involved in gang warfare, and was stabbed. The man who almost killed him was also believed to have been a blood or in another gang.

He is a hell of a basketball player. nd he is still is known by the league to be dry, and
arrogant with his personality. Do u notice pierce rarely signs autographs for fans?

Also do u remember when Blake Griffin punched a Clippers employee in the face, and fractured his hand. He has a history of
being a jerk. We all loved him when he won the slam dunk contest but I feel some nba players lose their freindly touch whenthey progress in their career

so I feel there are lots of good players who have been a jerk. But we wont remember them with that when they're gone.. Just their achievemnts, same as lebron.

First things first, s/o to you for bringing out that line in the song.
curry isnt the youngest player to win a ring, kawhi leonard won that shiittt at 22.. Well its a storybook season for curry tho.. He plyed so nice, but I dont want him to win a back to back ring. grin

I pray you get thunderstruck again tonight.

Bron has been in the spotlight since he entered the league,really before he even joined the NBA.
His probably the only superstar that ever lived up to the hype coming into the league,and has been the face of the league till this curry breakout.
Curry has only be a superstar for what ? two seasons now,give it time.
Remember when KD was the innocent guy or Kobe before that issue? Or Jordan sef.

Those are extreme cases tho. I'm not talking about those. I don't need you to justify Lebron's case when I called him an arse. He's not all those and has lived up to the hype. And he plays well too. The NBA of now is softer. Let's enjoy it that way. Let's just say we prefer different players. But now, the hype's too much. Nobody's watching achievement/stats. The game is to be enjoyed. We want to watch crazy plays, pick and roles, competitive matches, competitive playoffs going overtime, sweet pick and rolls, Coaches going head to head with their type of plays, Great defense, Great offense. And even very important Competitive All-star Games. If not we'd be watching stats. Everyone one this thread knows what I'm talking about. No one is interested in Stats or Triple Doubles or whatever. LeBron will have his stats in his closet when he retires but the Crazy and competitive games my eyes will see, my brain will never forget. Stats will be forgotten but Championship winning jumpers/buzzers, 4-3 championship finals will never be forgotten.

'I think sometimes the word
'valuable' or best player of the year,
you can have different results,''
James told the Associated Press.
''You know, that's not taking
anything from anyone that's ever
won the award.

''Look at Steph's numbers. He
averaged 30, he led the league in
steals, he was 90-50-40 (shooting
percentages from the free-throw line,
field and 3-pointers), and they won
73 (games). So, I don't, do you have
any debate over that, really, when it
comes to that award? But when you
talk about most 'valuable' then you
can have a different conversation,

so, take nothing away from him, he's
definitely deserving of that award,
for sure.''

That was what he said about steph winning the title, he praised him, so what you talking about again
If that is not a veiled jab I don't know what is

If we take Lillard, Dirk away from their respective teams I wonder what would be left
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:24pm On May 18, 2016
Eruditor:
This would have made sense had Lebron not gone to Miami and won the MVP 2 more times. In 2 of his 4 seasons with Miami, particularly 2012 and 2013, Miami did win some games without Queen Lebron. So why didn't he make his argument then that he probably was not the most valuable? That's right, it is because he won it then.

The difference between Kobe and Lebron is just as A40 said. Kobe is atleast forthright with his egocentrism. Lebron welcomed Curry into the league, invited him to his house, bowled with him, wished him well, tweeted about his shooting prowess- until Curry became the best player in the league. Then all of a sudden Cleveland are down 3-2 to GSW in the NBA finals and Leflop declares "I am not worried about the game 6, because I am the best player in the whole world". I mean what type of tomfoolery is that?

This very season, when Curry put up 36 against the spurs to make it 3-1 for the season, the same Diva starts tweeting about how he is watching Mailman Malone and the Utah Jazz in the NBA WCFs of 1997 just to let everyone know he was not watching the spurs game. Same Diva Lebron starts unfollowing journalists in Cleveland because they questioned his loyalty to his team when he was hugging Miami players after his team got walloped. Same immature Lebron, unfollowed the Cleveland Cavs twitter handle because he doesn't like nor can he tolerate criticism.

I have a lot to say about Lebron. How he would have had no ring without Ray Allen's clutch shooting, how refs helped him win OKC in 2012 etc. But that would be me downplaying the fact that he is perhaps a basketball savant who refs let have his way when he charges into players anyhow to make his points in the paint grin

Let me stop here.
He does what we call Oju Aye/Eye service

Loves the attention and hates being ignored.

Kobe was always secure he didn't need your love and made no bones about it

Cavs are doing really well and should they sweep Toronto, the finals might actually go to Game 7. I got Cavs in 7 for the NBA FINALS if against GS. If against Thunder Cavs in 6 if LeBron doesn't humiliate Durant with winning in 5 games
again... And I cant stand y'll, no other cavs fan here and most of the ppl here are curry bandwagon fan.. The only reason why i'm still here is cause lebron hasnt taken that ring, after he has, i'm off this thread.. #CavsNation

He didn't win a third ring till 25 sef

Lol Jordan was 6-0 in NBA Finals, no Game 7's none. Do you know how good you have to be to not get to any Game 7 in the NBA Finals. That means he never faced elimination. So didn't matter what conference he played.

Also M.J didn't have it all rosy, he suffered losses to Bird's Celtics and the Bad Boy Pistons but he stood the course.

Only three teams from the East beat Golden State

Detroit
Milwaukee
Celtics

No top team in the East beat Golden State. Ahn ahn these your mistakes are becoming too much ooh

Your team looks like they're struggling. I wonder if this is the team that won 73-9 in regular season. A healthy Cavs team last
year would have resulted in a cleveland Championship.....BUT health and rest plays a huge part this time of year....Lebron is the
most rested he's been in 4 years....he now has finishers from outside and inside.......AND EVERYONE IS HEALTHY... Sometimes when I look at lebron's body size nd movement, I ask myself can anyone hold him down.. Well lets wait and see what will happen in game 2 vs okc

I am a very old school nigga when it comes to my taste in rap. I like being told a story. Listen to Forest Hill Drive you feel like you are being told a story, Only Built for Cuban Linx you feel like you are watching a movie

TLOP is all over the place. The album no get head or tail. Sometimes I think Ye tries too hard. Genius should be effortless not forced

Too much crowd mentality dey worry people so the album sales won't surprise me. Have you heard Royce's album?
