    It's the same as saying that Manning wouldn't be able to play in the days of the run in the NFL. So? Who cares? This isn't an argument against his greatness NOW.

    I know I'm like 12 hours to late but my comment was more directed at LBJ wearing a white hot shirt.

    Geez man, sorry didn't mean to cause you any heartburn with my post about not caring about basketball. If it helps I don't really care of any them, yes that includes football. Maybe I will start a new post so you can say something negative or something on it.

    I never said Lebron isn't great. And I was listening to espn this morning as they were talking about the league being watered down. There are a lot of players who should be in the d league but are in NBA because of the amount of teams.

    And again, put Pippen or Bowen in their primes on Lebron, he doesn't score 35 points. Probably around 22.

    There were arguments of who was the best and people would say Magic, Kareem, Jordan, Barkley, Malone, Hakeem, Ewing, Drexler, etc. now a days it's Lebron, Kobe and Durant.

    And nothing against European players but there is a reason why NBA went after them. Looking for good players. Kids today want quick money. They don't want to increase their skills to be able to be great players.

    When I hear someone hating on Lebron this is what I think of:

    I do not watch much NBA these days. somewhere down the line the NBA merged with the group NWA and as sports go just is not sports as it used to be. I have a cat that passed away in 2008 that was named "Clyde the Glide" after 17 years.

    As an old guy now I just shake my head at what the NBA has become but that is just my opinion......
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    A good inside view on what a gigantic douche LBJ is.

    Cliff's Notes: Chael Sonnen (who will say ANYTHING to get headlines and attention) has a problem with the way the NBA calls it a 'world championship' when they only play in the US and somehow this makes Lebron a douche. Uhmmmkay. I likes me some Chael but I take EVERYTHING that comes out of that man's mouth with a grain of salt and it appears as though his opinion on Lebron James isn't any different.
