Bobbieydeey: There is a difference between being the best player and being a great player. |

Bobbieydeey:If you don't understand my last point, you're not smart enough to dialogue with.. That's the point of this whole dialogue. Lebron acted like a baby for crying to the press when his green called him a B... Who cares about the rings? Kobe had five and din't cry, MJ had 6 and didn't cry when he was trash talked to.. 1 Like |

Skywalker5:urghhhhh so if they trade love that automatically tag LeBron a bad leader, talk about next man up, if you can't adapt and ball hard what are you still doing in the team. You can't be a superstar and be balling below average LeBron is ageing, every season matters, Cuz okc traded harden does that make Durant a bad leader? Nba superstars in general get away with some things. Urghh I know I know it's sport, it's called lowkey "eka" u do me I do u Comot face and act like it was a mistake it's sporttt no player can say he hasn't done something like that, why did draymond shove him first? I don't see why you always bring curry into this discussion, LeBron is just tryna get the ref to be attentive enough, u can't drive in like 40 times and get to the line just twice or shld I say the ref are helping the gsw? 1 Like |

Bobbieydeey you began this talk by quotting me. Pls you have the right to say what you want but dont quote me anymore tnx |
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 3:13pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
SmooshCHN: What are you even saying, drifting away from the main subject, isit a crime to call the ref out? NO!!! You don't type like a sport man, u just watch sport and come up with views. Cry this cry that I'm tired of yall Why should draymond even use such word on another player to the extent the media knew about it...... You can't be getting fouled and not voice it out loud. You are just a certified hater. What team do you support oga? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 3:17pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
i dont know why this is being dragged. Draymond has been suspended cool. Move on and enjoy the game. The ojuti would come when even with our "undersized team" cavs cant capitalize. Then you dont have any bragging rights on this thread anymore simple. |

Skywalker5:LeBron has won all awards as regards basketball as a whole, a player that can play all 5 positions, over 10 years of being a leader and still going strong despite all the new talents in the NBA,6"8 age 31 113kg still athletic as ever on & off the court LeBron is repping be it community development, educating young kids, helping thousands of Ohio kids pay tuition, getting the first Lady to inspire the people of the land. Best player - Great player LeBron is a good example. 2 Likes |

Mizzzbeee: The argument is not about who is going to win, it's about LeBron as a player. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 3:30pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee: Yeah I sure do know that, I would quote you whenever I want that's the sad part lol. When you throw jabs at my cavs team or I disagree with your opinion I would quote you with full force, you have to learn to live with that |
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 3:31pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
OKAY, CHECK THIS OUT: I respect LeBron James for EVERYTHING he does off the court... He is the greatest all-around player the game have ever seen. (Not the best player EVER though...JORDAN.) He is a tremendous guy. But he is about to learn that you simply cannot PUNK your way into an NBA Title. Ever since he came into to media's focus (At 17 years of age, he's been called THE CHOSEN ONE.), LeBron James has had a sense of entitlement. And it's been well-deserved, because we have never seen anyone with the wide array of skills he has put on display for 13 years. When it's all said and done he will finish with 32-35K points, 9-10 K rebounds and 7-8K assists. Phenomenal. Having said that, His recent actions have indicated that 1) The NBA has gotten waayyyy too soft; 2) He is doing whatever he can to protect his brand and/or bring the city of Cleveland its first sports title in 52 years; or, in the alternative 3) he's acting a little spoiled/insecure or is threatened by the meteoric notoriety of Stephen Curry. Why do I say this? 1) Think about his comments after Steph Curry became the NBA's first unanimous MVP - "They should redefine the definition of MVP." - NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT HE'S A FOUR-TIME RECIPIENT OF THE AWARD. 2) His Comments about Golden State's Steve Kerr and his Coach-Of-The-Year Award. (He felt another coach deserved it - Terry Stotts of Portland). and now this... After Game Four, he and coach Tyronn Lue proceeded to go on a long tirade about the officiating - Ironically, The Cavaliers have been the more physical team throughout the series - of which included the Draymond Green incident where he precipitated Draymond's reaction by stepping over/straddling him. Should Draymond been suspended for this? OF COURSE NOT. I'VE SAT COURTSIDE AND HEARD A WHOLE LOT WORSE FROM THE GAME'S FIERCEST COMPETITORS. (But I will say that his ban is the culmination of everything) Having watched basketball for over 40 years, I have never seen anything like this "Whimpery." And the ringleader of all this crying is the game's greatest talent. REAL GANSTAS MOVE IN SILENCE, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. This, right here is exactly why as great as Lebron James Is, he will never be considered the Greatest there ever was. It's almost as if he's showing a lack of mental toughness against what may be his greatest challenge, and that's sad for the basketball purists. Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, George Mikan, Hal Greer, Wilt, Kareem, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, Isaiah, Shaq , Kobe, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, John Stockton and Michael Jordan are shaking their heads right about now.----BY William Cooper #Endorsed 1 Like |

Bobbieydeey:Actually meant i dont want to be quoted on this particular ish anymore. When it comes to "in-game" then i have no problem. |

Bobbieydeey: You count that as part of being great? 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 3:38pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Bobbieydeey: Simple. Lebron can't manage talent. Lebron is good and the best player in the league. No doubt but when you say great,he still lack two skills required in making that. Making his teammates better and being coach-able. Prove that he has those skills. He ran away to get rings and teamed up to bosh and wade. He felt they were old and ran back to cleveland rushing bosh and smart enough to know irving is getting to superstar status.Did you see Kobe and MJ jumping around with no destination before? He will be part of the greats but not in the category of greatest. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 3:39pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:Oh okay then. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 3:41pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Skywalker5: Alright put yourself in LeBrons shoes, what would you have done different to manage "talents" when your guys aren't making shots with the right passes? Asper being coach-able pls don't listen to the media LeBron does execute what coach lue says. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 3:42pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Skywalker5:on & off the court. Yeah I consider that. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 3:43pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Bobbieydeey: Its the leaders jobs to know where his teammates are comfortable to make shots. If he can't figure that out,he is no leader. Remember, he recruited this guys. He is part of the reason his coach got fired. He has everything he wants. He has no excuse.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 3:48pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Skywalker5:loves is a post up player, turns around makes his shots like it was in his Minnesota days /he's also an above average three points shooter, Jr is a shooting guard always in his position, he does choke when really really needed & shumpert also baba choker it's not brons fault tbh 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:53pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Bobbieydeey:He didn't call out the refs If you watched the interview. He was asked what he said when he and Green had verbal exchange. And the media knew because James reported it. You're contradicting yourself. The refs are there to call fouls they are not there to make calls because players had verbal exchange. Sports men forget all that happens on court once a match is over. It's called a match. And if you're a sportsman yourself, you know you're supposed to shake hands and show respect to your opponents. Notice how I haven't used unfair words to you. You're just never want to see what's true. Green has been suspended, James is happy, Cavs fans are happy. The match is less than 12hrs. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:59pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Skywalker5:You see I told you what BWGs only care about? They never care if LeBron had a bad game. Ready to blame Love, Shumpert or even JR.. They never care about their team. Never try to understand other players. When they lose, they claim LeBron had no help. Of course LeBron always average 20+ and that's why they all believe he never has to be part of the blame game. Leave the guy abeg. He wouldn't see the point in your argument. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 4:02pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:so when he choked in 2011 against the mavs who did we blame? |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:10pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:I said BNWGNs and I don't class you as one yet. |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:33pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:Lol.. I just was disappointed he acted that way 2 days ago and even claimed he didn't know Green had 6TF. We all know he lied. It's what rookies ought to do not experienced players like LeBron And some people feel what he did was right. As a GSW fan, you know When he loses, the embarrassment would be worse right?? No excuse when we go back to back. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Bobbieydeey: 4:34pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
Wasn't talking about the interview, was just saying but nvm let's enjoy the game since u hate LeBron & I like him. If sportsmen forget all that happens on the court after a match then nobody should play sport then. When detroit pistons pulled a "hack Micheal Jordan" play on Mj he sure didn't forget that even up till now, why does Jordan hate isiah Thomas so bad? Even Larry Bird....... Micheal Jordan hated I Thomas cuz he wouldn't pass the ball to him in his first all star game Jordan felt he froze him out imagine this small thing started this beef so shld I say Mj isn't a sport man lol players take things p once in a while. As regards the media what was LeBron supposed to say? That they were kissing or what lol let's just enjoy the game today abeg SmooshCHN: |

Bobbieydeey:No problem bro. As far as i will meet guys there and the court would be open. Then no qualms |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 4:57pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:no excuses from me. if the warriors should win this series even if they lose this nite. I would fully concede the following. -we are officially in the warriors era. -LeBron can't call himself the best player in the league or on the planet anymore. that is curry title now. |
