Lebron has just shut DeShawn Stevenson right the fuck down. I love it, and I don't even like the NBA all that much.

Good call roberto, good to see you in here...Lebron is crazy good, he was engineered to play pro hoops. I wish Gilbert Arenas wasn't at the sub-par status right now, he's a great player when he's healthy and very clutch. A healthy Wizards roster would make this series more exciting to watch than the previous 2 years combined, especially with all the shit they are saying about each other via the media.

Some teams are good in the season and suck in the playoffs
Lets name a few(Dallas, Suns)!!!

Hornets are the new team on the block! Read some articles about Byron Scott how Kidd was his maker in NJ. Well when or if Hornets win he will sleep happy that night.

Yeah, it's just easy to watch that kid play basketball - I remember watching him play in the All American game in 2002 or 2003 and thinking then "Holy shit, how is this kid in high school?"

Easily the most sound player since Jordan, but that is coming from the mouth of someone who's only payed passing attention to the NBA for the past 5 years or so.

After the last game, Gilbert said that playing against LeBron is like playing against a Michael Jordan that is four inches taller and forty pounds heavier... an impossibility.

I thought the Spurs didn't match up well with the Suns?

Posted by medinaM5 on Apr-23-2008 23:17:

fuck the suns, defense wins championships

That's a good way to put it, the guy is just a fucking beast and has so many years ahead of him. I remember back when people thought Grant Hill and even Anfernee Hardaway were the "next" Jordan. Lebron is simply way too versatile & explosive for most defenders to even touch.

This is not overall i.e. bill russel, wilt blah blah I only chose people who I saw play live(tv )

Jordan > Kobe > Lebron > everyone else

Jordan and lebron have very similar games. They would own the whole game and destroy the 4th by being some what selffish but if they get the W whocares!

Kobe usally has a more overall helping out teammates stlyle but still has 4th quater magic.

Not a knock against Kobe, but it should be mentioned that LeBron has never had a Shaq or Gasol or even an Odom as a teammate... much less a Phil Jackson as a coach... he's stuck with Larry "I Don't Play To Win" Hughes, Damon "No D, No J" Jones, and Anderson "Sideshow Bob" Varejao.

thats why lebron is 3rd. Without Rings no matter how bad the team is I can't raise him any higher not saying duncan and all others don't deserve that stauts.

He was pretty close last year. Hopefully a few more before his career ends to have another chance

larry hughes is on the bulls now brotha, LeBron has Wally to dish to when (IF) he gets caught up drivin down the lane and ben wallace cleans up his mess when that rarity occurs. Lebron doesnt need a huge supporting cast, he does it all (e.g. Cavs vs. Pistons Eastern Conference Finals last year)

to say that lebron has a bad supporting cast is false. he's had ilk, one of the few centers in the league with a great all around game. His contributions are vastly underrated as he is one of the main reasons Lebron has such success penetrating the middle.

drew gooden was also no pushover.

varejao has only in recent years increased his PT, damon i don't think ever even started.

Cavs are a yucky team, heh.

until Lebron gets one more star player on his team, I dont see him ever winning a title, Im also not a fan of Ben Wallaces game, if anything I think they were better off with Gooden.

Dwight Howard has been fuckn superman in the playoffs so far too, not even General Zod can slow this guy down .Got me randomly wondering imagine if he was on the Suns instead of Amare Stoudemire, I bet the Suns would be doing a lot better.

I can't feel my face!

^ I don't wanna piss you off or something but Stevenson and SouljaBoy are two dumbasses.

Posted by digitalbreach on Apr-25-2008 19:51:

Rockets - only team with multiple wins @ Utah this season (thus far)

Our defense was good and our offense actually showed up in yesterday's game. I'm freaking glad we pulled that off.

Spurs vs Suns
gotta agree this is the best series thus far.

Posted by medinaM5 on Apr-25-2008 21:41:

yeah game 1 was awesome, boring and exciting clash into double OT

spurzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Suns are losers, have been losers and will always be losers. They can never be championship with that type of play.

Anyways, I want a sweep.

Posted by Zild on Apr-26-2008 17:26:

What are the Suns?

Posted by partyhopper on Apr-27-2008 02:47:

Will that "There can be only one" commercial be edited after teams get bounced out?

Interesting that the Hawks hadn't been on national tv at home in 5 years. Good time to have a shot clock to go bad LOL.
Seemed like it helped them get at least a game against the Celtics.
