Congrats to the Heat!

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;922200]I get it. Still think it's stupid. Especially when he's hated for all the wrong/imagined reasons[/QUOTE]

He will always be disliked for the following reasons:

The Decision
He got a ring in the "wrong " way
Short season
Refs
Flopper
Complainer
Not clutch
Not Jordan

The Decision and his flopping/complaining will always rub me the wrong way (mainly the latter), but I don't hate him. He's a great player and deserves props.

Honestly the flopping/complaining everyone does in the NBA; I honestly think they practice it. So to single him out is kind of lame.

I guess. Still disagree 100% with just about everything listed. The only reason I would have for not liking him is how he (perhaps with some help) repeatedly stopped the Wizards in the playoffs

Re: 2012 NBA Playoffs
 

Well deserved championship for Lebron and the Heat. Lebron has really grown up in a short amount of time and delievered on everything he promised. He's the best player in the league and now one of the best all time.

I cant think of a more disappointing performance in the finals than the Thunder. Really showed the over hype of this team coming in. They got a TON of growing together to do. And personally dont think Westbrook and Durant can co exist on that team together. This probably going to be another Marbury and Garnett situation.

Didn't mention that because that's more of a DC thing and I figure that's not something unique to LeBron (Utah hates MJ for ex.).

Interesting, never thought of the Marbury/Garnett comparison

Fair enough. To be clear it irks me pretty equally when I see others flop or surround the ref complaining. Just shuttup and play.

I totally agree. I am big Celtics fan and Paul Pierce may have just pushed past Bird as my favorite Celtic of all time but he is one of the worst complainers of them all.

I think it was more Marbury being a flop then them not working together.

Must have been weird when Marbury came to the C's a few years back.

There was an NBA PLayoff. Who won.LOL

Nickleback (well at least the NBA's version of the team)

Marbury and Garnett were explosive together and considered the best 2 young players in the game at the time. They went to the playoffs, couldnt get over the hump...but the problem was Marbury's (PG=Westbrook) ego was huge and couldnt stand playing second fiddle to Garnett (Durant) the more talented player. Garnett got the big contract and more praise for the rising team. Eventually Marbury was moved because of his attitude and ego...I kinda see it in Westbrook.

Just about every sport I will turn on when they get to the final game, match, series, but I don't think I watched any basketball playoffs.
