Once again, your arguments are beyond moronic, Lake Erie Boy! Listen, I've already said I believe LeBron will go down as one of the NBA greats, but you coming in here and making Jordan sound like a nobody makes you sound like the jackass I know you to be! To make a comment about LeBron doing things at this age that Jordan "dreamed about doing" ignores the point that LeBron has 5 years experience and Jordan at the same age hadn't even completed his second season! Jordan was 22 in his rookie season, and James is 23 in his 5th season, so the comparison is fucking stupid! Another thing to be mindful of is this...Even if LeBron breaks every record Jordan ever held (which won't happen), it still doesn't mean he's better! As I pointed out, he's probably going to end up playing 5 years longer!


Journey/Survivor wrote: it's probable that James finishes his career better than Jordan.


It's also "probable" that you don't have two brain cells connected!

Out of anyone that I've ever come across that thinks they know a lot about sports, you know the least.

I never said that Jordan was a nobody. I never suggested anything even close to that. But facts are facts, LeBron is accomplishing things in the NBA that Jordan could have only dreamed about doing at that same age.

For the millionth time, Jordan was a rookie at the same age, MORON! James has been in the league for five fucking seasons! Those are the facts! All you ever do is spew nonsense about your embarrassing sports city! I loathe sports fans like you, who believe EVERY fucking guy who wears your city's uniform is the greatest to ever play! I thought Larry Bird was a GREAT, GREAT player, but I wouldn't get on here and say he was better than Jordan, because there were simply many things that Jordan did better! Jordan was in a class by himself, and you're the only moron who thinks James is Jordan! He isn't and never will be! Just accept the guy for what he is...a very good player, with MANY holes in his game!

That's a pretty accurate description of Lake Erie Boy! That dude is about 10 sandwiches short of a picnic! His sports debates aren't even remotely intelligent, because he has ZERO fucking clue what he's talking about!

I was at work and another nurse and I had the game on in an empty room but, right as OT started a patient was getting ready to deliver-she wasn't our patient but one of us had to go in and help with the baby. I let him stay and watch the game but I kept running out every 30 seconds to see what happened, then a new patient walked in so he had to go help with the baby in the delivery and I had to get the new patient admitted so we both ended up missing the end of the game! We promptly looked up the final score on the internet though! 8)

We've gone over this before. So I'll say this and leave it at that. If my life depended on correctly saying who has more sports knowledge between you and I, I would guarantee that I would bury you in sports knowledge, and I would continue to live a long and healthy life.

Yes, LeBron has been in the league much longer at this age than Jordan had been, and that's the point moron. LeBron is already almost as good as Jordan was when Jordan was in his prime. And LeBron is going to get better and better for the next 5 to 10 years. Baring serious injury, when LeBron's career is all said and done, he will have been better than Jordan was. And if Jordan had been in the NBA at the same young age that LeBron was, Jordan would not have come close to being as great at that age as LeBron has been.

Your such an idiot that you don't even realize how big of an idiot you are.

At least 95% of the population of Cleveland would destroy you in a contest of sports knowledge. You truly know nothing.

It's your own fucking stupidity that makes you think that I don't know what I'm talking about. When you get a fucking brain, then talk to me, asshole. Because as of right now your nothing more than a waste of my time. I knew more about sports when I was fucking 7 years old than you know now. Your an embarrassment of a so-called sports fan!

The NBA is so stupid!!! How in the hell can a team blow the other out, then turn around in the other teams building and get blown out themselves????? It happens all the time in this stupid sport.
The same stupid players on the court, same 10 ft baskets, same size court. Is the officiating THAT biased as to cause a common 40-50 point swing from game to game and arena to arena?
There is no home court advantage other than the fans in the NBA.
Unlike the NHL where the home team gets to have the last line change which enables the home team to dictate on ice matchups.
Crowd noise in the NFL which disturbs the opposing offenses to hear causes false start penalties and cause linemen to not get off the ball during pass protection which results in holding penalties or sacks.
The NBA is so stinking predictable. I can't even stand to watch it cuz I already know what's going to happen.

You know, I wish NOTHING but the best for LeBron James...he WILL be a great one day!!! I'm a HUGE NBA FAN and I keep up with ALL of the players. The DETROIT PISTONS are my team, but there are players on every team that I follow. I admire you for loving your team as much as I love mine, but LeBrons numbers just do not compare with MJ's at this stage in the game....NO WHERE NEAR!!!! As a matter of fact, LeBron's FG% just dropped again after the last game....he is now at .399. He is NUMBER 61 of the 93 players in the Eastern Conference FINALS. That isn't good, I'm sorry.
These new numbers are after a WINNING game no less. I hope it improves!!!
The numbers change after every game, so check it out before the next game....maybe it will get better!!! :wink:
Cleveland may end up beating us all...but his stat's WILL NOT change until he becomes a little more consistant in the post season!! :wink:

Pretty much every series is going to go 7 games. San Antonio may have the only shot of winning game 7 on the road.

Actually, it's the fact that you simply don't know what you're talking about. If your brain was half as big as you claim it is, you wouldn't come in here spewing shit! Nothing that EVER comes out of your mouth is backed up by facts. For the record, I looked up Jordan's stats when he was 22 and LeBron's. Jordan was ahead of James in almost EVERY category, jackoff!

We can agree to disagree! I believe there are a lot of great sports cities in America. Cleveland isn't one of them! I believe they are a VERY supportive city when it comes to the Browns. It begins and ends there. If the Cadeavers aren't competitive (which they haven't been for most of their existence), the fans of Cleveland simply don't care. That was also the case for the Indians for most of their existence! That's to say nothing of the fact that the city hasn't won a single championship since 1964!

It is definitely a football town I will give you that. I'd say Ohio is a football state in general. As far as not caring when a team is not competetive, I'd have to say I think that's the way it should be. Why should I spend my hard earned money when the franchise can't even put a competetive on the field/court etc. Put a quality team together and the fans will spend money and support you. Make bone headed decisions and put some lousy team together....forget about it.

But I would say that for the most part Cleveland fans support their teams through thick and thin.

Now if we are going to talk about championships and being a great sports city.....well that sure leaves alot of cities out of it then. Plus I think it's easier for the big markets....ie NY, Boston, LA to attract the big name athletes hence having a better chance of winning a championship. JMO.

I'd be willing to bet that in 2 yrs if the Cavs don't get some talent around LeBron he will be heading to NY. I think he wants the limelight. and to hang out with his rapper buddy Jay Z.

The same stupid players on the court, same 10 ft baskets, same size court. Is the officiating THAT biased as to cause a common 40-50 point swing from game to game and arena to arena?
There is no home court advantage other than the fans in the NBA.
Unlike the NHL where the home team gets to have the last line change which enables the home team to dictate on ice matchups.
Crowd noise in the NFL which disturbs the opposing offenses to hear causes false start penalties and cause linemen to not get off the ball during pass protection which results in holding penalties or sacks.
The NBA is so stinking predictable. I can't even stand to watch it cuz I already know what's going to happen.


Good...tell me what the outcome is going to be and I can concentrate on hockey!!! :wink:

Pretty much every series is going to go 7 games. San Antonio may have the only shot of winning game 7 on the road.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Well there you have it folks!!! I'm off to the "LORD'S STANLEY CUP" thread!!! :wink:
