    This guy just made a thread about how Lebron is so good he doesn't even get calls anymore, but he's being called a hater?



    He at least looks to make basketball points. The Lebron "stans" are just as bad as the Kobe ones. Both sides are incredibly annoying and beyond shitty for basketball discussion. And attempting to be logical is such a pile of shit.


    I've been called a Kobe fan the last couple weeks. A few months ago I was getting called a Lebron fan. That just means both of your sides are ****in stupid.


    Good use of the word "organic".

    Same shit happened to me and some of these losers actually anonymous neg you and call you names like "Kobetard" or "LeBrontard"...

    Definitely agree with the last sentence.

    It was analyzed earlier this season how Lebron was passing up taking long shots at the end of quarters just to protect his field goal percentage. Much like Rondo avoiding contact because he didn't want to go to the line, imo. But I only caught the end of the fourth of the game tonight so I couldn't honestly say.

    You all say Rondo is statpadding when he does that. So either Rondo isn't or LeBron is.

    lebron has been a statpadder throughout his career thats why hes not as impactful as the durants, shaq, dirk, cp3 of this league. it took 6 years for him to make his team contenders while durant only takes 3.

    Who cares what your reason is for acting a certain way on the court...
    The only thing that matters is whether whatever you're doing works.
    Clearly, by any objective measure, what LeBron's doing out there works.

    Maybe Brian Scalabrine plays the game in a selfless, "organic" manner, but ultimately it doesn't mean anything because he sucks compared to his peers, and guys like Kobe and LeBron, no matter how "contrived" their game, don't. It's as simple as that, really.

    LeBron never had a player of Westbrook, Harden, or even Ibakas caliber. Idiot.

    Guy gets 31 8 and 8, shoots a great percentage, team wins, and yet we have people coming with criticism. Anything can get hated on. Anything.

    Lebron took his team to the playoffs in the 3rd season of his career and led them to the finals in his 4th. Just like Durant you stupid ****

    This I'd understand if they lost or lebron completely took a notch down in scoring in order to help his FG% but he didn't. He scored 30+ points, got his team mates some buckets, and won the ****ing game.

    People forget dude has 5TO.. He rather want to have a TO than taking a shot.. Thats equivalent to 5 missed shot.. So LeBron in reality has 13/20 fg.. Perfect game my ass..
