Most complete player to ever play the game. Enjoy watching him while you can. You'll be telling you grand kids about his accomplishments.

yeah..I understand how special the guy is, but I dislike him so much, it clouds my appreciation of his game
 
it's early, but OKC can't buy a boxout against ATL. Then again, when KD drains shots like that, then maybe you don't need to.

Continuing with the "looking spry, amazingly" observations: Kyle Korver. 72% TS.
 
OT: It's D-League, but this is a futhamuckin' beauty of a shot chart for the season:

LeBron is having the best season any basketball player has ever had, outside of possibly himself last season.

HCP alluded to it; LeBron is shooting 63% from 2pt and 44% from 3pt while scoring 25.4 points a game. Nobody has come close to that in modern NBA history. LeBron has the highest PER in the league every season for 7 years running and the highest win share every season for 6 years running.

Lebron’s best true shooting percentage (TS%) was .605 before last season which was .640 and now this season is .683.

Lebron’s best effective field goal percentage (eFG%) was .554 before last season which was .603 and this season is now .638

All this I understand, he's got the best shooting percentages of his career. I still don't think it's his best season... sue me.
 
so, tattoo aficionados--it's not really my thing, so I feel unqualified to judge, but does it seem to anyone else that Birdman has large swatches of just plain color on him? Do you pay by the ounces of ink used, the intricacy of the design, etc? I mean, are you considered a below-average tattooee if they're just red and green blobs?

BTW, HIbbert's kind of a beast. #newsflash
 
Mario Chalmers finding that it's easy to be froggy when LeBron has your back.
 
Gotta love Ernie...

Honest Question, and really anyone can answer it: Why do so many people dislike Lebron? Other than the decision and that "Not 3, Not 4, Not 5" snafu... what has he done that's wholly terrible?

hahahahaha! As far as national shows go, the pre and post game shows on TNT are something I do miss with not having cable. But not that much.
 
honestly (and I appreciate him as a player, and don't hate him as much as K*be):

it wasn't the "Decision"...it was the B.S. he spouted to CLE the 2 years before the Decision (including wanting input into trades to get players around him to help him win) and not giving them the option of trading him when he knew from the Olympics that he was joining up some SuperFriends, and it wouldn't be in CLE.

Cleveland should've done anything possible to land the talent LeBron wanted.

2 options could've happened:

1. He stays because he has the talent around him to win a championship.

2. He leaves still but at least you have talent on your roster still.
 
Neither was helping, as has come out in his interviews about teaming up during the 2008 Olympics.

Heck, I wouldn't have cared if he pulled a 'Melo and said "I'm never resigning here--do what you need to do". Being a UFA was his right, as was taking less money to play with his buddies. But when he was asked by media (I can understand not pissing off your fanbase) and management (which I find deporable) he made it sound like there was something CLE could do to keep him, when it had been decided for almost 2 years.

They did try to make stupid trades for players LeBron wanted. Look at the trade deadlines in 2009 and 2010. He left anyway, leaving the cupboard bare. But at least CLE got a couple of seconds and 15M of treasured cap space.
 
Hibbert just reached across the underside of the hoop and blocked Chalmers reverse layup without leaving his feet.
 
Man, I'm reminded of how much I hate watching the Heat. Guys like Mario Chalmers and Rashard Lewis this they're the Love Children of Thug Life and KG just b/c LeBron's on their team. And since they've built a reputation for defense, they get away with being the Bad Boys Pistons garbage on D.
 
I finally found someone who LBJ can't guard--his name is Roy Hibbert. Just pushed the king out of the way like a child there.
 
With Hibbert, we'd be about unstoppable. :sigh: Well played, IND.

Looks like it worked out for everyone involved, though.
 
Of course Rick Fox Nasty is going to give K*be an "A" on his first game back "...because he made it back".

Yikes---just got my first glimpse of Goran Dragic's face in 60" 1080p HD.
