[tlance]

Apparently no one else did.....but I thought I heard him say the n word.......
Maybe I didn't,but damn sure sounded like it.....
I had the game saved to my library,but not quite sure it ran long enough for two ots.....
I ran it back twice last night and sure as hell sounded like it.......

I looked up the interview.

You are talking about the one where he brought NAW over?

I watched that and didn’t hear anything resembling what you heard.

You don’t get it, I define the goat as the greatest at their best. Of course they have to have enough accolades and longevity to qualify but at there bests I don’t see it as a contest honestly.

How much longevity is enough, in your opinion?

Enough to compile the necessary stats to even be in the conversation. I don’t care how good you are if you only play 3 seasons obviously you aren’t in the conversation.

Speaking of athletic exploits…

Every time people talk about blaming players for exploiting rule changes and things that refs are clearly not calling, I am reminded to an experience I had playing intramurals in college.

Down the stretch In a close game, my buddy deflected the ball out of bounds and the refs incorrectly awarded it to our team.

My friend told the ref that he in fact was last to touch the ball. The ref changed his call.

I wanted to strangle him.

Not really directly related of course, but the point is that no competitive person is going to do that. Competitors are going the other way and pushing the envelope of what officials will let go to gain an advantage any way they can.

If you are so juiced to win an intramural game that you get pissed at your friend for his sportsmanship, you don't understand sports(or friendship) as well as you should.

Can the pelicans win 3 of their next 7?

Sixers lottery pick getting juicier.

 

[eaglesnut]

Cool...but the comment to which you replied was regarding MJ lovers calling Lebron soft for missing a few games.

Pay attention.

Lebron is soft because he didn't play football with his body type.

It's always been that. Pay attention.

I understand completely.

Nobody does that.

Refs make bad calls throughout a game. Correcting one of them that goes your way isn’t sportsmanship, it is stupidity.

Because odds are the next bad call won’t go your way and the other team definitely isn’t going to correct it.

Allowing 134 when your opponent shoots under 43% doesn’t make any sense to me

Rebounding (2x oreb edge) edge, turnover edge, made 3s edge, made FT edge

That makes him smart. Potentially 2x career length, 2x or more annual salary, fraction of the injury risk than he would've had as (likely) a TE?

Can you blame anyone from the Cleveland area not choosing football?

Right. The billionaire basketball player should have totally chosen football. Lol.

Top 2 in the GOAT conversation.

But he should have passed it up for a 10 year NFL career as a tight end.

The thing is he absolutely could have done that. Would have been a really good football player too.

He could've gone to college and done that. Does that make him an ideal pro prospect? Long way to get there. How many 6'9 TEs can you name?

This is even dumber than the guy who said Russell Wilson should have chosen baseball after getting picked #1 overall by the Cardinals.

Not many.

But LeBron absolutely could have played in the NFL if he chose that path. No doubt about it.

To your point though, that makes @eaglesnut claim even dumber because you are correct.

6’9” is not ideal NFL size.

I mean he would have been perfect for the WWE too.

Real men would have chosen MMA and making 50k a fight

Imagine the flopping though

Soft

He can be soft and smart. But definitely soft. He chose to be soft.

In football, he's not playing for 20+ years nor making near as much money as he has in basketball. Not to mention, he'll end his basketball career still able to walk with no issues and no CTE concerns.

Seems smart, not soft.
