LeBron James = What a Fuckin' Dickhead...

[titsrock]

Bloody, LeBron is right. Contraction for the NBA would be good. The timing of the statements is horrible. Miserable economy.

LeBron didn't ask to be made into a sports god. Nike, the NBA and many others were only happy to go along.

He should NOT get any shit for deciding to play with DWade and Bosh in Miami. Nobody gave two shits when Boston signed the big 3 or when the Lakers made that scandelous trade for Pau...etc.

To win championships in today's NBA it requires more than 1 stud. Plain and simple.

The NHL needs to contract too. Hell, MLB needs to contract.

I don't watch basketball and I don't watch hockey. It's all about porn baby!

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Fact of the matter is LeBron is 100% CORRECT on this one....too many bad teams with bad players clogging up the league. Time to contract, David Stern! :tinhat:

Serious?

Yes, that's why I mostly watch college sports these days.

There are still a handful of pro teams I follow, but nothing to the degree I did in the past.

I agree. I still follow my favorite pro teams, but I love my SCSU as well. It's hard to get their games though and it's hard for me to follow them because they are too far for me. I do like me some Gophers though.

ever stop to think that perhaps he is living in the real world

how is what he is saying any different from what our politicians and corporations have already done to us

not saying i disagree with your opinion of the man but i think his attitude is a direct reflection of what america has become:2 cents:

You're trying to get philisophical? LeBron doesn't live in the real world and he never has. He's the last person that should opine on the economics of the NBA franchise situation. And as far as wanting to contract, today on CNN they said the days of mom and pop stores are over. So LeBron wants the small market teams to get lost I supose would be relative to that.

Says the Heat fan.

if the Golden State Warriors folded tomorrow, few NBA fans would notice. Put those guys on the Clippers, Sacramento and Charlotte and you make those teams better immediately.

You could contract Golden State or Sacramento and Memphis and I bet most people wouldn't even notice.

LeBron is right, but the Player's Association and the League will push this under the carpet.

We could contract a baseball team or two as well.

Golden State, Sacramento, Minnesota, Memphis, Charlotte, (especially) New Orleans, Cleveland, and maybe even the Clippers and the Bucks. I've never even understood why Golden State exists.

I'll come clean right now and say that I've said on the board before that teams should get lost. I was critical of Sun Belt NHL teams, until Plasma filled me in that they were puting asses in the seats. And of course, I've said the Marlins or even the Rays should take a hike as well, but again that was only because I've seen some of their games and there were only 25 people in the stands and I thought they were gimmicky. LeBron most definitely hit a nerve with me talking shit about my NBA team (and Love), but the Wolves were a damn fine team for quite a few years back when the Big Three - Sam I am, Sprewel and Garnett were playing. However, people still do go to the games, so WTF is uneducated James runnin' his trap for? Bottom line is he comes off very arrogant to me (and to almost everyone else here as well from the looks of it.).

Whoa, whoa whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Sacramento sold out every one of their home games from 2002-2008, and the market in Sacramento has grown steadily until the last two years in which the Kings have been absolutely terrible. If anything, Sacramento's shortcoming here is that Arco doesn't hold as many people as most of the other arenas.

Yep.

And I'd have real issues with this too....

I've never even understood why Golden State exists.

Big Bay Area market and deeper roots than a lot of other franchises. Rick Barry, Nate Thurmond, Wilt Chamberlain....they were the Laker's divisional arch rivals throughout the 60s and 70s...lots of intense battles between the two teams in those years.

On the other hand, they did trade Wilt to the 76ers for Connie Dierking ..... so maybe they deserve to be euthanized after all :1orglaugh

You know what would really be funny? If Kobe retired at the end of the season, and LeBron eventually went to L.A.:1orglaugh

If Phil Jackson is still the coach then anything is possible.

You got that right.

Put those guys on the Clippers, Sacramento and Charlotte and you make those teams better immediately.

Are you sure about that?? I don't think they would! :thefinger :thefinger

That makes no sense at all in terms of contraction.

If you contracted and put 2 stars on each team, then you'd be saying it requires more than 2 studs. Plain and simple.

 

[GregCentauro]

And what kind of name is LeBron anyway?

It's an Iroquoian expression for "fucking dickhead". His parents picked the name wisely.

 

[STDiva]

Oh Lebron. Just because you need other superstars on your team to win, doesn't mean everybody else does.

And what the fuck is he doing speaking out against the players union??? Last I checked, the union is against contraction. Lebron is an idiot.

That said, I'd still love to have him in L.A.

Rant of the weak Diva my boy.:hatsoff:

You know what the messed up part is?

Contract Miami and it will be good for the league.

No kidding. The monopolization of tallent ironically might be what's fucking up the league. Maybe. :dunno:

 

[soniconyxxx]

he will always be a bitch...fuck em!

 

[TheOrangeCat]

Wow - overpaid, under-educated, over-entitled, bubble-wrapped, reality-starved sports star makes stupid, brattish comments with no sense of self-ridicule.

I am amazed, I say. Amazed.

Next thing, he'll be dog fighting ....
