  1. i'm actually hoping that roddick wins it, which would be way more amazing.
  2. maybe now that lebron has won his first title, all of the naysayers will just shut up.
  3. hahaha, cleveland. bravo, lebron, you're a real killer.
  4. confederated products arena.
  5. has lebron always had that growth under his right ear or is it something new?
  6. and pippen should have been the mvp that year. but you can seriously put 2 asterisks by the rockets' championships.
  7. except pippen led the bulls to 55 wins without jordan, but you make a good point. i just said you make a good point to mess with you. you don't make a good point.
  8. i was thinking the same thing. it'll be a zoo.
  9. meh, i can't help but think of lonny baxter.
  10. yeah, he's the darius smith of 2011.
  11. don't look now, but tracy abrams has moved ahead of blackshear, shaw, and thompson to become the hoops report #1 prep in illinois. also of note, dre henley has also jumped ahead of them to #2. actually, looking at it again, he's held onto the #1 ranking, he's been there all along.
  12. cheaters aren't natural because they weren't on noah's ark.
  13. that was gretzky-esque or something.
  14. Also makes it impossible to have an effective running game apparently. Apparently in order for a QB to inspire great running and defense, he needs to have produced a winning football team on his own, in his former cities. :blink: teams with very good quarterbacks also tend to be more consistent, as they have capable players at the most important position in sports. teams that tend to rely on rushing and defense alone rely a lot more on health and are more prone to falling off the face of the earth all of the sudden.
  15. like i said, lebron is a fantastically talented and physically-gifted clown.
  16. And when that pocket shows the least bit of vulnerability, the whole NE system tends to look like a mess. exactly. Matt Cassel 2008: 516 PA, 47 Sacks Tom Brady 2007: 578 PA, 21 Sacks The line was pretty much the same in 2008 as the years past. no one's arguing that brady doesn't have better pocket awareness than cassell. he's an experienced, very smart quarterback.
  17. i'm not saying it takes away from anything MJ did. i'm saying it was a wild, hail mary shot that scraped the rafters and then went in. it was not an in-control, calculated shot that everyone expected to drop. it was a fling and a prayer and he got lucky. unfortunately, this is just going to add to the myth that lebron is somehow a clutch player and not a super-talented league clown.
  18. that shot was a hail mary. mj never put up a hail mary because he never put himself in a situation where he needed to take one. there was one second on the clock, this wasn't a craig ehlo/bryon russell situation. good point. jordan would have made scottie take that shot in this case. no, it wasn't lebron's fault that it was such a wild-looking shot, he didn't have much time to get it off. but still, it was a hail mary nonetheless. the fact that he's one the great players in the league takes nothing away from the fact that it was a simple grab-and-chuck-it-near-the-hoop and outcome that could have happened to any nba player.
  19. that shot was a hail mary. mj never put up a hail mary because he never put himself in a situation where he needed to take one.
  20. that was pretty tough, but i'm not willing to concede that he's the guy at the end of the game, yet. that shot wasn't exactly 100% skill. he threw it straight up in the air.
  21. And when that pocket shows the least bit of vulnerability, the whole NE system tends to look like a mess. exactly.
  22. i just don't think brady would be all that great if he were thrown into the bears system. with the patriots, he plays in the shotgun, they throw most of the time, and he has all the time in the world to pick apart defenses. plus, he has two pretty nifty receivers he can either throw the ball up in the eair to, or dump off to, and expect to put up the stats. cutler is better, his arm is far better, he can make any throw at any time, he's mobile enough to get himself and his receivers time, he just doesn't have that little ironclad pocket of wonderfulness that they have in new england where none shall pass.
