Got one thing to say, 6 rings, maybe could have been 12 if he had no heart and went and jumped teams to buy a championship like some people :)

lmao, hey I like watching Lebron play but hate bandwagon people who jump teams as quick as they change underpants, hope the spurs win tho, I find a lot of the people who say that Lebron is a better player never even seen Jordan play, I don't mean a few clips from utube either lol, go spurs home grown, not the buy a championship heat :)
 
I'm here, game on the line and who's taking the shot? Bosh, Jordan or Bryant would have demanded the ball, that's the difference, love all these band wagon heat supporters, if Lebron go's to the lakers this off season will you's be lakers supporters then? Lol

If Bron goes to the Lakers this off season Im having a fire sale..... with a match!!! :lol:
 
What a great game 2. As expected by many, LeBron was huge. That 3rd qtr he was simply unstoppable, it didn't matter who was guarding him, he just shot over the top of them. 2 gripes though, firstly Mario Chalmers with the elbow to Parker, what a cheap shot, there is no place for that in a Finals Series where both teams show a lot of respect for each other, and secondly, I used to be a big Wade fan, even have his jersey in my closet, but the next time that jersey sees the light of day it will be so that I can put a flame to it. If he is not $5000 lighter in the wallet after that appalling grab of the face even though Manu missed him by about 6 inches it will be an absolute disgrace, and then the jump to the left to make the contact on his jump shot, geez, who's home game was this. It only confirms what I have thought for awhile, the NBA LOVES the Heat and are happiest when the Heat are winning as it increases their global audience, which in turn increases their profits.
Spurs should have won this game, especially having Miami in the bonus with 7 minutes to go, but then took a whole pile of jump shots when they should have been attacking and drawing contact and going to the FT line, so they only have themselves to blame.
While I would love to see the Spurs, especially Duncan, Mills and Baynes (even though he never plays a second) go on and win the series, I have serious doubts about whether Spurs can snatch one of the next two games, Heat play very well at home, while the Spurs have not been great on the road. Obviously they have won a couple of road games during this years playoffs, including a big one in OKC, but I just see another big game from James and then some production from the Heat bench, meaning it could be 3-1 by the time Spurs go back home, which will spell disaster.

Lebron is not going anywhere this off-season. The off-season after that though may be a different story. Wade will be finished, Bosh will go searching for his last big payday (Dallas Mavs??), leaving Lebron with the same situation as he had in Cleveland, being him and a pile of wannabe's. So maybe he does head west to Lakers, not sure if there will be enough room on the Lakers bandwagon for EVERY current Heat fan, time will tell.

Ok guys let's all grow up., next one who resorts to name calling or direct attacks on another member will find them selves warned. Agree or disagree with each other but keep it civil.
This is your unofficial warning.
well said mate

So I take that as; you don't like any team employing a free agent that has exercised his rights through free agency to choose what team they want to play for.

You musn't like very many teams then. :confused:

Imagine how boring the league would be if there was no free agency. Think about how restricted the players would feel.
Would make for an unhappy league, imagine being stuck with bonehead JR smith on your team!!!

when did duncan manu and parker ever have hard times? they were lucky they ended up on the same team like MJ was lucky to get pippen and a bunch of good role players, not to mention a great coach. the second bulls 3-peat was effectively bought as adding rodman was a massive coup.
 
ok as far a i can see what ever

i think my question is a legitimate one... it's people shooting from the hips with non-factual bias that's making conversations go off tangent.
This is Tim Duncan since he entered the NBA

Whoever has the highest percentage shot, the way it should be! The reason I like Lebron is his unselfishness and ability to see what the best play is in a game.
Hero ball is all well and good but it's not going to win you the game.

As for "bandwagon" fans, I'm a Lebron fan. I don't live in the US and have no allegiance to any team halfway around the world. Rugby League is a different story ;)

They could of also left for better opportunities.

Duncan could have had a massive ego and cracked it a few years back when they made Parker the go to guy.

Manu may have not accepted his role and come off the bench. They've all turned down bigger paydays and a starring role elsewhere.

I know what you're saying, why leave? But they have had some tough times, 1st round losses etc. They could have bailed not long after 2007 and they had question marks over them every year since. But they've stayed firm even when given no chance (easy to say for some people now after B2B trips to the Finals, but people sleep on them every year).

Oh and they weren't lucky they were on the same team. They improved their games together and became a great team. Parker didn't even have a jumpshot when he entered the League.

I'm also getting real annoyed with the ridiculous one eyed MJ fans. Let go already. I love MJ, but he's long gone now.

Sure, don't like Lebron and hope he loses, but do we have to hear all the rubbish every day?
 
I blame ESPN. Shows with people like Skip and Stephen A create discussion on silly things and renew discussion on things that should be left in the past. Not saying they aren't great at what they do, you just need to know when to draw the line between something you watch for entertainment (albeit the same stuff over and over and over again) and actual noteworthy basketball discussion IMO. :thumbsup:

It was not boring watching Jordan, magic, bird, Thomas, Reggie miller and all the rest years ago trying to take their team to a ring, just seemed like players where a little more loyal awhile ago, now you buy a your teams favorte players jersey and you worry if he's even going to be on the team in a year or two lol
