Soxbadger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) But more to the point, its been Chicago's offensive problems. These are problems that were occurring in season though, so its nothing new. Edited May 26, 2011 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Can Lebron act like a more whiny, immature douche by referring to Rose as "MVP" or "The MVP" in his recent interviews? God I despise him. Edited May 26, 2011 by BigSqwert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have no problem with LeBron doing it. LeBron thinks hes the MVP, hes proving it on the court and hes showing the media that the title means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2011 -> 01:28 PM) You can't obviously just hand the Heat the next 5 titles. I think what Balta means, and I've said this many times, that no team is set up better to, well, flat dominate for the next 5 years than the Heat are. They're a win away from the finals and they've been together for like 5 minutes. Everybody talked about how bad their supporting cast was. And again, a win away from the finals. I don't mean to sound repetitive (and I admit I have a nasty habit with that), but superstars win out in the NBA. The Bulls had Jordan. He took a break and the Rockets had Hakeem. Shaq, Kobe and Duncan have collected like every ring since 2000. Now it's the Heat. I didn´t realize the Heat already beat the Mavericks in these Finals, I guess I could just skip them, thanks!

Soxbadger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 You cant compare Lebron and Rose because they have completely different personalities. Lebron is like Jordan, and to Lebron the media picking Rose as MVP is disrespectful to Lebron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 26, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) Quick question: I have been saving the Bulls highlights from each playoff game into my computer. the plan was to create a tribute video if the made it to the finals, or won the championship. If the Bulls fail to make the finals, should I still make the video? No because no team other than the Heat will win every Finals for the foreseeable future.

StrangeSox Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 "The Heat" is not comparable to three individual players who played on several different teams. It also doesn't hold for 2008, 2006 or 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Your right Steve, at Jordan's HOF speech he didnt attack a bunch of guys like Byron Russell. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-jordanhall091209 Oh wait, he did. Sorry the reason I used Jordan because in this very specific instance, it was an apt comparison. Lebron, like Jordan, can be petty about perceived insults, and there is evidence to support this. So not everything has to be Jordan, just this time, it made a ton of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpy2121 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I haven't read this thread lately so sorry if this thought was already posted. Am I the only one who thought it was humorous when lebron was shouting "don't call no foul, I don't want no foul" because he whines every single damn time something doesn't go his way? Or is it funny because what he really said with double negatives is "call a foul, I want a foul". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if anything, the better comparison would be The Lakers, since they won it 6 times in 10 years, not three players who won with three different teams.

Soxbadger Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well Steve the original poster compared him to Rose and I merely pointed out that Lebron is more like Jordan than Rose (in personality).
