Re: The LeBron James Saga

Did Delonte West have an intimate relationship with Lebron's Mother?

Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?

Well what was Lebron's excuse? Everybody knows that Kobe quit a couple times. He caught slack for that and rightfully so. But Bron does it and people are giving him a pass.

a pass? oh thats right lebron took one shot the whole 2nd half, if anything lebron was playing on 75% effort.

I wasn't giving Kobe an out - a quitter is a quitter, that's true. But the same folks giving LeBron an out are blasting Kobe. That's what I was agreeing with and saying if ANYONE had an excuse it would be Kobe not Lebron. But I'm on the same page as you, quitting is inexcusable. I was just pointing to the hypocrisy of those who blame LeBron's cast, while blasting Kobe and ignoring the fact his cast was even poorer.

Two wrongs don't make it right, is the main point. Those LeBron fans who point out that Kobe did the same - doesn't make it any more right for LeBron to have done it. LeBron was wrong, Kobe was wrong. Period.

And make no mistake - it wasn't 'he had a few bad games'. He quit on them. Watch Game 5 again, and knowing what we know now, there's no doubt in my mind that's what happened.

his cast was so poor they took the suns to 7 games. by the way if im not mistaken i believe the lakers were up at 3-1 not sure about that one though. either way the lakers had a chance of winning the series i mean it went to game 7 and Kobe decided to quit in the most important game of the season for them..

Oh nevermind. He's the King, so he has built in excuses.

i guess him being the king is acknowledged by everyone so when he has a kobe(30pts on alot of shots) kind of game it looks like he quit

I'm surprised Lebron didnt get a "Messiah" tattoo.

Just like LeBron's cast was good enough to win 61 games, kill Boston in Game 3 in Boston, then all of a sudden sucked when LeBron decided to stop playing. Coincidence?

In any case condemning Kobe in one breath while being an apologist for LeBron is just wrong dude.

I don't think it's wrong kobe has quit multiple times not just against the suns. Also if the mavericks/sonics/heat have show us anything When it comes to playoffs the regular season record means nothing. Boston definitely had a better team than the cavs.

You're new here.

Kobe could go 50/50 for 175 points against a team of Gary Payton, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Tim Duncan, and Hakeem all in their primes and Kash would bash him.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

What else can ya'll really keep arguing about that hasn't already been said AT LEAST twice in the thread? Seems like ya'll are arguing just to argue now LOL

Quitting is quitting. PERIOD. There is no acceptable form of it. There is no "Oh, I played well for __% of the time, so I can afford to take a break or not give it my all". Nobody has gotten a pass for it and nobody EVER will get a pass for it. Not Kobe. Not Randy Moss. Not T.O. And not Lebron, regardless of how great they all are.

As for the Delonte thing/rumor/"excuse"...LMAO at folks still believing that mess. Didn't your Parents ever tell you not to trust ANYTHING that comes out of a Crazy Person and a Drug Addict's mouth?

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Charles Barkley on LeBron taking 'mental notes'.

"I heard about LeBron's little tweet today that he's remembering everybody who said anything bad about him," Barkley said Thursday on ESPN Radio in Dallas . "And he said 'everybody.' Well, I want him to make sure that he puts my name on that (list).

"I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move. I thought them dancing around on the stage was a punk move, and I thought he should've stayed in Cleveland. Him joining Dwayne Wade's team was very disappointing to me."

"He's got enough people kissing his *** with his family and all the people who work for him," Barkley said. "We don't have to tell him what he wants to hear all the time. That's one of the reasons why ... some of these young guys ... my opinion is he should have stayed in Cleveland"

"That one-hour special, them jumping around on stage like punks, that wasn't cool to me. From a basketball standpoint, I wish he had stayed in Cleveland, and if he takes that as criticism, so be it.

I love Charles, but no player who has demanded a trade or left in free agency has a leg to stand on when criticizing Lebron.

Current NBA Players have criticized them as well, so does their opinion hold more weight than Barkley's then?
