  just curious why you always go out of your way to suck Lebron's dick? I dont remember you rooting for him when he was in Cleveland.

  BR, what do you mean by its more of the norm in todays game? The settling for jumpers thing?(Just curious). I actually thought it to be kinda more attacking the rim then the older NBA game, not because theyre better players but because in the older days more scripted plays were ran to get open jumpers to end the game. Or am i completely off with that? didnt watch much basketball pre 95 or so bc i obviously wasnt old enough to remember lol

  I've heard a lot of theories on today's players from "they won't attack because they are afraid they'll choke at the line if they get fouled" to "they settle for jumpers because after Jordan's "Shot", the best way to build your 'legacy' is to hit some crazy jumper versus hitting a few boring free throws to win it" to "what's the sense, the refs are gonna swallow the whistle if it's a game deciding decision."
  
  Who really knows but I think it's a little of all of these. In the case of Lebron, I'd say it's more 1 & 2 versus 3 because he should be able to, at worst, draw a foul with his explosive power, at crunch time, but he settles for jumpers in most cases/

  How was my post sucking LeBron's dick? Also, please find one example of where I wasn't a fan of LeBron when he was in Cleveland. A post from like_that or CoA saying I hated him before he went to Miami doesn't count, either. I was a fan of LeBron's before he was drafted, while he was in Cleveland, and still am. Not anywhere near SQ's level, but I don't know where you and the Ambiguously Gay Duo get that I hated him.

  I completely agree with you then. LBJ is the worst worst worst at it, bc like you said he can take anyoen in the league to the hoop and get fouled....yet he settles for dribbling out the shot clock and shooting a midrange or 3pt shot. Makes absolutely zero sense, he needs a killer instinct

  just do not remember you going out of your way to defend him anytime anyone would hate on him before, that is all

  That was one of my major beefs with him when he was in Cleveland. I may be "old school" but I was always taught that it's what the final score on the scoreboard says that counts. If that means taking it to the hole for a HIGHER % shot, drawing a foul and hitting some "boring" free throws, oh well...a win is a win. Lebron James should be able to take ANY player to the hole and either a) score or b) draw a foul. I think he's legitimately afraid of choking at the line because he is NOT clutch in those situations.
  
  Seems like a lot of players are like that though (settle for jumpers). Sounds like Rose did the same thing last night when he could've taken LBJ to the hole but took a jumper. What's even more befuddling is when they take a 3 when they only need 2 to win. No shame in getting a win from the line, imo.

  Well, there wasn't a whole lot of blind hate while he was in Cleveland. Maybe a couple people here and there, but >90% of the people on here defended him so I probably just blended in.

  "Nobody is going to beat Lebron 1 on 1, not even Derrick Rose."
  
  D Rose blew by Lebron several times in the 4th quarter it was the 2nd line of defense that stopped him and like many people have already said he had him beat on the last play and why he pulled up only D Rose knows.
• karen lotz

  

  "It's extremely hard," Rose acknowledged, "when a 6-8 guy can easily defend you."
  
  
  He must have felt as if he couldn't get by LeBron.

  I dont know. I hate Lebron as much as anyone, but I still call it like I see it. I didnt see where he beat him, but people are saying he had a step. I can tell you why he pulled up if he did have a step though...he was too worried about getting blocked by Lebron.
• Hb31187

  

  He didnt beat him because he obviously pulled up for a stupid fade away jumper. But on a few of the crosses he had lebron leaning the complete wrong way and could of easily went to the hoop on him. But he probably IS scared fo getting blocked for some reason, so he settled. Dumb dumb dumb

  How can you give fresh, insightful opinions when you don't even watch the games?

  Wasn't Cleveland the best team in the league LeBron's last 2 years? Why would a bandwagonner hate LeBron? I've asked you several times to provide one thing that would lead you to believe I hated LeBron and the Cavs, and you haven't.

  As pick6 said, why weren't you all over his nuts when he was playing for Cleveland?

  That's good enough for a bandwagon fan. I draw the line at being a Laker fan. My point still stands, never hated on the Cavs/LeBron and still don't have a problem with the Cavs. Its more fans like some on this board that I have an issue with.

  Never saw you go out of your way to defend him, hype him up, and defend the Cavs. You sure seem to do that a lot now with LeBron and the Heat.

  Having a differing opinion than others isn't trolling. Making shit up about what other posters have said is.

  Like I've said already, there were very few anti LeBron posters on this site before he left or even before he "quit." You joined the site in April of 2010, which means LeBron was a member of the Cavs for maybe a month of your time here. Sorry I didn't make an impact on you in that time, you were probably busy calling CoA out for being a ginger.

  lol referring to CoA, you haven't done that one before. I call bs on that, there are plenty of Cleveland haters, and they are still here. I posted on JJ Huddle too, and the same Cavs haters were on this forum when I signed up. I also read this forum before deciding to sign up, and saw the blind hate toward Cleveland.

  Ok, none of that has anything to do with me.
