Island_Style Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Alot of people say Lebron would have went to Florida State, not Ohio State. I know FSU was his favorite team growing up. Now he works with OSU to be a good PR man. I don't think he is as loyal to the region as people think. If the price is right he will leave. He will be a Knick if they pony it up. He knows he needs that market to be the next Jordan like icon. He is a business man.....or at least surrounded by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Another 20+ point lead for the Cavs. That one is over.Anyone see the Dahntay Jones facial on Erick Dampier? Wow. Since Shawn Bradley left the league, Dampier has pretty much been the most posterized big man in the NBA. Ironically both are Mavericks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Another 20+ point lead for the Cavs. That one is over.Regardless of if it's Orlando or Boston in the next round, I can realistically see the Cavs sweeping thru the Eastern Conference. Those boys in Cleveland are red hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if New York can still give him a huge pay day he may very well bolt. Even if the Cavs can offer more. I am not saying it is a lock that he will leave but it is not a lock that he will stay. I don't think he is as loyal to the region as people like you think he is. He is a really good PR man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 LeBron James is the greatest player I have ever seen.You must have missed Michael, Larry and Magic thenI will give you this, he's very good, but hes not reached that trio in my mind yet. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 In Drew's defense, he's like 16 or something. He said LBJ is the greatest he's seen, not the best to ever lace 'em up. He might not have been into basketball during Jordan's run with the Bulls--which ended 10 years ago (let's forget about the Wizards years, shall we) and he certainly missed the Magic/Bird era, save for Magic's comeback in 1996, during which he would have been like 3 or 4. Let's not jump on the kid so quickly. Besides, we know how sports and great athletes often makes us prone to hyperbole.

I always get jumped on for saying that Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player I've ever seen (but Lebron is right there too). I know Magic and Jordan we're probably better, but I never saw em.

Island_Style Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Well, I think it is safe to say that it will be Denver and L.A. in the WCF. No way the Rockets win without Yao. The only series that could be a series is Orlando/Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 In regards to the non-foul at the end of the nuggets game, he clearly didn't get enough body into melo to alter what he was doing. He shouldve grabbed him, or atleast bumped him to the floor. That hadn't been called all game even with as tight as the game had been called. Besides, how the mavs still had a foul to give in that situation while the nuggets got called for everything on the other end is beyond me.

The only series that could be a series is Orlando/Boston.Oops...I thought the Lakers learned last year that they needed to be tougher this time around. It looked like they thought Houston would just fold up and quit. Hats off to the Rockets! They wanted it more and they earned a great win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
