Wiggy, For some strange reason I like you as a person, but you really are mixed up. Phil majored in psychology in college and is an expert on psychology. Phil likes to play mind games with his opponents in order to gain any kind of an advantage in the next game. Both you and Lebron played right into his hands by responding because now the players are thinking about it the next time they play the Knicks the next time and he's hoping that gives his team an edge.

Or in short as TrojanFan said - He is a troll
im just saying- the mind games arent worth much when you dont have talent- or cant collect talent- like the GM is charged to do-

and hey- thats cool if Phil wants to run his mouth---- If Phil was in 1st place and the interview was a happy cheery one lauding how great he is and his ego was soothed he isnt even mentioning LeBron- but- his team sucks- he has done a poor job - and he doesnt look like the genius or the franchise saivor- so he decides to run his mouth. Its cool- just dont be surprised when someone hits you back. Especially when you add context to the interview with the excerpt from his book.

I would agree with you under normal circumstances, but I've seen Phil do that in the finals and when - In all he won five titles in Los Angeles by running his mouth - so He has had the talent to back his mouth up. I am not really sold on the talent in New York though, so It seems a bit premature for him to be talking smack. That being said - the smartest thing everyone could have done and should have done was drop it and ignore it completely. Never give your enemy the satisfaction of knowing you're pissed

LBJ keeps killing his image. Just keep your mouth shut. Just play basketball.
"keeps killing his image"?

I dont understand that. You think LeBron has a poor image? "keeps killing his image"??---- i mean- when it comes down to it, there is a huge fan base of people who like Lebron right?- obviously its just not the bustling metropolis that is The Land that is fueling 54M in endorsements.

I mean- after Roger Federer who had endorsements of 60M, LeBron was the 2nd highest athlete in the world at 54M. I would say his image is pretty sterling.- and that 54M does not even count things like his Pizza Fire deal where he got equity instead of an endorsement contract- in reality he is probably far and away #1.

Top 100 Highest-Paid Athlete Endorsers of 2016 | opendorse

Kevin Durant is the next highest in the NBA at 38M.

I would say LeBron has his "image" under control. The simple fact is that- yes- he does screw up sometimes- but no one is perfect when a camera is stuck in their face every second of every day. LeBron is without a doubt the biggest star athlete in any of the 3 major sports right now. Its really not even that close. Thts not because he "keeps killing his image". Its really the exact opposite.

oh i think Phil will get the idea on December 7th.....maybe a clue or two....LeBron might give him a small idea that he is angry....lol. Whether he takes satisfaction in it or not? my guess would be not. I'll give the guy credit- he got his name in the news for something more than doing a terrible job in NY. Thats something I guess.

The smarter coaches ignore Phil and his smack - but it is possible that the reporter misunderstood Jackson or his intent. I don't put a lot of faith in news reporters.

Why the frack is LeBron not playing the Pacers?

Did Larry Bird offend him too?

Ran across an article that said he's getting a rest on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.

5 games in 7 days. They arent gonna run him into the ground in November. Just normal maintenance i hope the Cavs continue forward indefinitely. If he sits 6-7 games like this during the season he will be better off for it come the playoffs.

He's an old fart in NBA years, alotta mileage. Any chance he gets to rest is good for him & the Cavs for the long haul.

Did Wiggy say he'd be the first one to criticize Lebron if it was warranted? How have I not picked that shit apart?

Fuck I'm slipping. @ChiefsLakers67 where were you on that one, man?

Let's face it - LeBron is a retard. No one in their right mind would take Jackson's comments racially. It's been widely speculated that LeBron has often received special treatment. From receiving illegal police escorts to asking the Heat to provide his posse with tickets behind the bench. LeBron is a great player, no one is denying this but he's an idiot. Why didn't Jackson say "LeBron is like MJ and Kobe, you know, those black guys have to have their posses".
