How effective would the big men of the 80s and 90s be today?
Agree w the Dude. Also, MJ has an IDGAF attitude? Ha. He tailored his image w smiles because “Republicans buy shoes too!” To say he didn’t care is laughable. He was a total phony in the media.
It is a great thing for someone of Lebron's status to get involved with the progression of low income schools. Even if it costs tax payers more than advertised, that is something tax money should go to. But my issue with the statement that he sincerely wants to be a force for social change is his actions have set back that social change. His falsehoods on politics and him making up a story about someone vandalizing his property with racial graffiti are setbacks for change. He is part of a growing problem with society where people fabricate stories to push agendas knowing that nothing will be done about it because by saying that you are a victim of a potential crime makes you a victim even if the crime is real or not. He regurgitates the same talking points of the resisters without ever having an original or unique thought. People like him for it basically because they are in line with his talking points. People don't like him for it because they are not in line with his talking points. At least coryfly can be objective and reasonable on the topic.
We have been over this. Not sure why you selectively forget things. It can't be proven to be a lie. But it certainly doesn't seem likely that it is the truth. Google it. News networks went nuts over it even though there was nothing to suggest the events took place. Once the LAPD said there was no evidence to support his claim and they were not going forward with the investigation, it disappeared from the light.
An opinion LBJ went to sleep in a series where he went for 34, 8+ and 10, shooting 52%, even made 84% of his FTs vs. a guy who left his team for a season+?
I think what you meant to say was "ya got me, dt, but I am trying to become President of the Never Admit You are Wrong Club of Rivals" so I cannot very well own up to my gaffe."
he made it up.
I do think his off the court character is above MJ's but don't disagree about on court. I could certainly live without him being a passive aggressive drama queen.
Admittedly I didn't continue reading your post after you suggested that I was saying he spray painted his own fence. I am saying his fence was never vandalized. No surveillance. No witnesses. Just a picture that wasn't believable to the law enforcement that saw the picture. Just google it.
I think too many not able to see both sides is the biggest issue in sports discussions. Too much like politics. Just never an in between with fans. Also, most players, coaches, etc are great, suck or they love or hate them. Just no in between.
Just said something like this...truth be told I don't like him, but wish he would have stayed.
well said. could use this in the Brady debates, though he might be both.
I believe he is both. There are other choices for best though. He’s the most accomplished for sure
Edited my post. So you believe that at 530 in the morning Lebron so happened to have the paint to paint an entire fence in the 15 minutes it took for police to get there? There is nothing suspicious about there being no video evidence in a neighborhood full of surveillance cameras? The police must be racist for not following up on a case where the alleged victim purposely destroyed evidence that would prove his claims, huh? Quit saying that it is only about politics with me when the same could be said about your choice to believe that garbage.
I disagree with this. LeBron is the most TALENTED player of all time, I will give you this. That doesn't make him the best player of all time, though.
