It boggles my mind how a guy like LeBron can literally get to the rim and get either a free throw, shot for himself, or shot for someone else every time he drives, yet settles for fadeaways all the time. That was a stupid shot to take. 5.7 seconds is more than enough time to muscle Iggy out the way, collapse the defense and finish. Even if he gets penta-teamed and misses a layup, nobody can question his decision. But taking a fadeaway three? That was more about him trying to be flashy than trying to win the game, imo.

Name them then.

​

Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman, Kareem, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Dr. J, Moses Malone, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, Shaq, Hakeem the Dream, Joe Dumars, David Robinson, Elgin Baylor, Walt Frazier, the Iceman, Pistol Pete, Bill Walton, Bill Laimbeer, James Worthy, John Stockton, Earl Monroe, Jerry Lucas, Elvin Hayes, Patrick Ewing, Cooz, Dave Bing, Tiny Archibald, Lenny Wilkens, Artis Gilmore, Bobby Jones, Nate Thurmond, Connie Hawkins, Bob Love, Chet Walker, George McGinnis, David Thompson, Bob Dandridge, Spencer Haywood, Bob Lanier, Bill Walton, Rick Berry, Bob McAdoo, Roger Brown, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan.

 

Off the top of my head I would take any single one of those 50 over LeBron if my only goal was winning championships. Not saying they're all more talented than him, and it has nothing to do with "hating" LeBron. I hate Jordan, Bird and Magic all significantly more than LeBron, but I would take everyone on this list even if I hate them over him. LeBron would've been average if he played back then. Laimbeer and Mahorn would knock the sh(t out of him and he'd cry like a baby and quit. He has no mental toughness, he's just lucky that everyone else in his generation is as much of a pussy as he is.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
