Celtics lose 5 in a row, lose Rondo, then win 6 in a row. Go figure

 

Obviously a cancer to his team.

 

We all eagerly await for your next lol Celtics, right before their next winning streak.

[SpongeWorthy]

Being an 8th seed in this dumpster fire of a conference is already lol worthy

Lebron is just ridiculous right now

Lebron is just ridiculous right now

56 percent from the field. He's a beast. I wish one game he would just try and get a hundred. Just to see how close he could get.

I think the reference to Musashi is more audacious than the cover. Though it's quite possible that the publisher chose both the title and the artwork.

I preferred the other title, "How to bang your bosses daughter and get a raise".

I like 3, 7 and 10

[Guest]

3 and 10

[seanimal]

i like the ones with the trophies, the exception being the last bulls one, which is hilariously bad

[Old Style]

3 is my favorite followed by 11.

So the NBA/Adidas is coming out with "short sleeve" jersey. The Warriors will be the first team to wear them this year and other teams will have their's come out next year. Guessing it's their way of maybe appealing to the European crowds more as the jerseys will look more like soccer jerseys and/or will provide a little more space for advertising when they start in the next few years. Looks pretty dumb to me.

I am all for new ideas and can usually be talked into just about anything, but this just looks way too odd to me. I can't wait to see the first huge fat fan ironically wearing one of these at a game. Actually, now I'm totally in, super tight sleeveless jerseys for all.

 

Eddy Curry is going to look great in this.

MJ points out a potentially legitimate flaw in Lebron's game.

The article where MJ said this was kind of depressing.

Jordan's clearly threatened by LeBron. It is kind of pathetic but I imagine certain things do go into the mental makeup of someone as elite as MJ was.

 

I'm starting to accept that LeBron may very well be the best player ever by the time it's over and I'm going to enjoy watching it.

The thing of it is if LeBron doesn't win a few more titles he won't be remembered as great as MJ.

I'm still impressed with what he did with those Cav's teams. He came so close to winning a title nearly by himself in a team sport because those rosters were pretty awful, aside from him.

They we, but part of mjs lore is 6 finals, 6 titles, 6 finals MVPs.

I agree. Until LeBron gets a lot more rings people won't say he's better but as an avid Bulls fan who has a lot of nostalgia for MJ (big portion of my childhood) I still say that's unfair to LeBron.
