Here's to the reigning MVP.
~ "To put LeBron James monster game (40 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists) in historical perspective, consider this marked only the seventh time in the past 25 years that a player has posted at least 40 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in a playoff game. And according to Elias, only two players to achieve playoff numbers as lofty in all three categories were James (Sunday) and Elgin Baylor (in 1961)."

(41,692 posts)LOL---they look as bad as anyone..

(9,709 posts)I no longer watch the NBA much, but what I do know is with Derrick Rose going down, the Heat should have a free pass to the NBA Finals. Anything less than the title is unacceptable, and even if they do win...questions will always remain, wondering what would have happened had the Bulls remained healthy..

(41,692 posts)Shouldn't you be in the whiny men's group whining about teh bad bad feminists?
Upton
(9,709 posts)so, you're comparing James to Bonds?...Great..works for me! I'll be sure to use that comparison in the future.
trumad has his own Barry Bonds baggage in the form of LeBron James..
Btw, we can hassle over Andrea Dworkin if you'd like, but keeping in mind this the DU 3 Sports Forum and not 2, it might be in both of our best interests if we saved it for another place, if not another time. Opinion?
In the meantime, why don't you read up on the woman you're defending.

(41,692 posts)What---LeBron's second team....
You diss LeBron for playing for his second team--- but no diss for your hero Barry who did the same thing.
I asked this in another thread about your astonishing disdain for women.
We're you beaten as a child by a woman?
Mommy issues?
Sister torture you in your crib?
Upton
(9,709 posts)in fact I know you have because I see you have engaged at least one of them, many longtime Duers in good standing, both male and female, going after the same less than a handful of anti sex radfems and their one particular group..why don't you go ask them the same questions you asked me?
Oh, and you'll be happy to know I have some questions for you too..
Why are you defending a woman who allied herself with the anti porn RW and testified before the Meese Commission?
Why are you defending a woman who pushed for the porn industry to be prosecuted under RICO?
Why are you defending a woman who equated all consensual heterosexual sex with rape?
Why are you opposed to the sex industry..and consenting adults making their own decisions on whether or not to take advantage of what the industry offers?
Again, this is not about all feminists, if it was you wouldn't see it playing out the way it is in Meta..
trumad
(41,692 posts)What ---what a fantastical straw man you have built.
No Dude--- My Meta thread was created to highlight a bunch of whiny crybaby White guys sobbing about how tough they have it because of the bad bad feminists.
Really---do you have it that bad?
Has feminists---or as you like to call them "radfems" really set you back--- hurt you--- make you walk around mumbling to yourself poor poor pitiful me......
Man the fuck up dude---
Upton
(9,709 posts)and suggest you're being deliberately obtuse...and I would with most people, but in your case, I just consider the source..
One more time, and this is the last occasion I'm going to discuss this issue with you in Sports. It's not fair to the rest of the group. This is not about all feminism, it's about anti porn 2nd wave feminism, it's godmother Andrea Dworkin, and a small literally less than a handful of her adherents here at DU who appear to be trying to make DU over in her image.
Now, if you can't rap your head around all that..well, I'll just repeat what I've told you in the past, that's just too damn bad..
"anti porn 2nd wave feminism"....
Do you even hear yourself when you say that?

don't know what your handicap is in real life, but here at DU, your responses are always par for the course..Now, as stated previously, I'm no longer going to discuss this topic in Sports. If you wish to confront me, I'll be around. Or better yet, next time you see he's active, ask Steve Leser what he thinks about this issue and the differences between 2nd and 3rd wave feminism.. you might learn something.

(29,322 posts)Every team in every professional sports league in North America(if not everywhere) has "carpetbaggers". I would accept "loyalty" arguments (if that is where you're going to go with this) if teams themselves didn't trade or release players.
And so what about Derrick Rose's injuries. Chris Bosh went down and you can't replace a player with his accurate shooting & rebounding w/ the reserves Miami has. If Miami does win a title it would be an impressive accomplishment when you factor that in and plus Indiana is a quality team that is deep and has quality big men that is a direct advantage over what is currently Miami's biggest weakness.
