Fine. He should have the "Chosen 1" tattoo removed from his back.
Why do you care what tattoos he has?
"Chosen 1" doesn't mean greatest basketball player to ever live.

If he ever gets "I am the best basketball player of all time." tattooed, haters might have an argument.

Why the hate?

To each his own... I just don't understand haters of any player or team unless they have a good reason.

I have a Boston license plate on my car and a Celtics tattoo, people in Boston know who I root for.

I'm sorry, but no self-respecting Celtics fan would cheer for the Heat, let alone for James. Personally, I think you're in here trying to stir shit up. Of course, what I think doesn't matter - which is exactly how 99.9% of this thread sees your posts. If you took my post as anything other than a playful jab (which was evident by my sneaky emoticon) - then you need to go find a butt-hurt bitch emoticon for your license plate instead of a Celtics logo.

And I cannot understand ballwashing someone who is an obvious douche.

Well from this thread I've rethought everything I thought I knew. I now consider Luke Walton a top 10 all timer

Will get a triple double tonight, guess nobody can have an off day huh?





The point you don't know basic math? .5 isn't the same as .05. Your lack of 3rd grade arithmetic's almost impressive as your hate for the greatest 3 point shooter the NBA has ever seen.


What's worse, me making a common mathematical error - or you posing arguments without facts.

The truly funny part is, I wasn't using .5 as 0.05. If I were using 0.5, the numbers would be REALLY far off! Dumbshit.

Why do people even respond to you? 50 shots made more every 10,000 is still not that much. 5 shots every 1,000. 3rd place is way off.
I'm not hating on Ray Allen, I'm hating on you. You think he's clearly the best ever and he's 0.05% better than Reginald Miller. You were born this century. You have made several idiotic arguments in this thread.

Yes, I'm hating on you, "die-hard Celtics" fan who roots for the Heat in the finals. Wow. I'll make up a stat for you for that, since you can probably understand lies. You are a 1 in a million of the die-hard Celtics fans - who chooses to root for the Heat (based on non-financial decisions).

LOL @ Bosh and Heat coaching staff: "He has a knack for shooting, but he won't be open tonight," Bosh said Tuesday. "We'll see how he shoots with somebody always on him."

http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/201...i-heat-danny-green-san-antonio-spurs-not-open

After 25 3 pointers (taking the finals record away from Ray-ray), they decide to guard him. The key to beating the Spurs is to contain Danny Green?

Popavich and Parker are going to own your ass.

Ah the "hater" argument.
It basically means "I cannot debate rationally regarding your dislike of X therefore I will accuse you of being blinded by emotion."
lol. You called Lebron a douche. How can I rationally debate that.

"No he's not." lol

Outside of a few bad games he had possibly the best seasons of any NBA player in decades. He got 120 of the 121 possible votes for league MVP, which has never been done before. And imho he was robbed not getting that last vote, probably was someone like you who will never give the man his respect. If anything he's still getting better, a lot better. I don't think we're talking about the same player, I must be confused here.
He will never be a TENTH of the player of Karl Malone, kareem or MJ. He got the votes because of media bias cramming him down our throats.

The 1 vote went to Melo, who had a pretty darn second half. It was a debatable vote, but a wrong one. It has happened before, in 2000 when Shaq was also 1 vote shy.

It took a few years for Lebron to spend the summer improving his game. He's becoming pretty complete as a player. It should be interesting to see what he does in the next few years as he goes past his prime age. To see if he develops a stronger desire to win. That same desire that kept Michael and Kobe developing their game to stay at the top even when their physical skills started declining.
complete player? He's been given wide open shots this entire series and he's deserving the name lebrick

Haters gonna hate because it is an easier argument.
It is simple to tear down anyone when you compare them to every other player in the history of the game.

Lebron can't hit jumpers as well as MJ.
Lebron doesn't have the mental drive of Kobe.
Lebron can't defend the post like Shaq.
Lebron can't run the team like Magic.

Do you see any failure of logic in this? No one can compare to the best of any trait in the history of the game.

Everyone know (Lebron included) that MJ will forever own the title of GOAT.

What makes Lebron special is that he is near the top in most categories, and he is doing it with 2 other stars sharing the stats.

He is the true jack of all trades.
near the top in most categories? OK he's scottie pippen... He doesn't have the determination of scottie pippen. He doesn't have the quickness of scottie pippen.

OK so he's the king of being a ROLE PLAYER! Lebron needs an MJ do really do anything but D-Wade just isn't it anymore

Or should we call him Kevin mchale?
LeBron has been guarding him most of the time ...
but I thought he keeps getting votes for defensive player of the year?

"No he's not." lol

"The Decision"
"Chosen 1"
"Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 championships"
"King James"
Flopping


The list goes on and on and on.

He's a douche.

Lebron is amazing player, best in the league without a doubt. But I just hope he continues to work on his skills before that time comes when the speed and explosiveness are gone. I think a player's free throw percentage is a good indicator of their jump shot capability. So far it doesn't look good for Lebron, but he has time yet before his body starts to decline.

If SA wins this series (which I think they will tonight), I will be happy for them.
They are a very classy team.
Duncan, Parker and Ginobili are nothing but class in the interviews I have seen with them.

And Danny Green is a fun to watch. Everyone loves a hot shooter.

Debating how great Lebron is is like debating how great Shaq was.

"Great, perhaps one of the greatest, but..."
