:iagree:

I'm not a big sports fans all around, however, when its makes the "regular" news I have no choice but to express my opinion.

I cannot believe this type of 'hoopla' over a sport athlete barely through his twenties, has no championship under his belt, and from what I heard about him, has an obnoxious aura about him. Its probably coming from his agents and handlers, but still ridiculous.

In NY, everyone from the foriegn owner of the Nets (is he a spy too?,) to Jay-Z, to restauranteurs offering free food, Car rental agencies offering Lambo's for driving in NYC (really, where the F is he going to go in a Lambo in NYC!,) to Bloomberg making a push....

But lets not talk about the MTA agency cutting jobs, raising fares, road maintenance being reduced, taxes going out of control, state budgets not being passed, police and fire house's being cut or closed, etc etc...

He's a human being who puts his expensive pants on, one leg at a time. While my pants are not as cool as his, he still shits, eats, drinks, has two legs, two arms, etc...just like everyone else (minus the sleeve's of tattoo's.) The fact that he can catch a ball off the backboard, slam dunk a rubber/leather like material ball, and run up/down a court for 48 minutes does not (read: should not) garner this much attention. Oh, and the same goes for when a wealthy individual cheats on his wife...it happens to millions of people, unfortunately, each day. Move the F on! And a special TV program, com'on...

In other news, the EPA rejected a way to prevent further oil spillage reaching the shores of LA by using stones and rock in the break before the shore, stating it would be dangerous and harmful to the environment.

So "King James" has decided to become Duane Wade's bitch rather than try to be a champion on his own. What a loser.

"OUCH" ..........:wow:

I predict that they crash and burn. Having that many egos on 1 team is a recipe for disaster. How do I know? I'm a NY Rangers fan, they tried the same thing - signing big name players to big contracts and it never worked.

Good lord I was thinking the same thing.
But maybe they'll prove folks wrong.....:dunno:
My Grandson is lying on the floor kicking, crying
and screaming in disbelief. I'm exaggerating of course.
He was hoping for New York.

I was hoping he woulld choose NYK, too. A team with a legacy, a town rooted in basketball. As far a chemestry, they said the same about the Celts when KG, Allen and Pierce first got together. It doesn't appear that egos got in their way. Allen even re-signed with the Celts this week.

Looks like the Cavs owner threw back a few drinks before writing this letter to the Cavs fans:


Letter from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert - ESPN

I'm glad Ol'Dan is wealthy and successful; he would have trouble
getting through Freshman Comp with those writing "skills".

Guess his proofreader/speech writer had the night off...

Shades of Doctor J, circa mid-70s, in Philly: "we owe you one".

StatDoc,
"bread & circuses. "
Rack It! Freakin Classic! :thumbup:

Loyalty?!? Dan Gilbert is talking about LOYALTY?!? Where was Dan's LOYALTY to MIKE BROWN after he fired him after having the best regular season record of any NBA coach/team? For a coach who was the NBA Coach of the Year just the year before? For a coach and a player that have led your team to the Eastern Conference Semifinals every year since 2005 (save 2010)? For a coach and a player that led your team to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history? Would Dan call LeBron narcissistic had he re-signed with Cleveland? Proll'y not...

Can we say...Sour grapes?
