maybe they live in washington and have been on the wrong end of about 4,000 non-calls for travelling.

I liked the old ones where they danced to super freak. The new ones are just weird.

why do we hate lebron? because the refs in this league treat him like hes been there for 15 years and is a hall of famer. the traveling he gets away with, the push offs, and when he doesnt get his call, he crys like a little bitch. that and the fact that every news source thinks hes a god

I like the commercials, mainly due to the fact that LeBron does a decent job representing the four characters. Considering he's just a 20 year old athlete, he's a pretty good actor. I don't watch a ton of tv so I'm fortunate not to have to watch it 194232673248249343 times.

I agree with Big C that he does get away with quite a bit but so did Jordan and any other superstar player at the time that made the game exciting to watch.

jordan earned his respect, lebron is 21 years old and hasnt proven anything

dall-assblows · 11-07-2006, 01:07 PM

he is a pretty good actor i must say

yeah, for an athlete, he's pretty good. i wish he did less acting on the court though.

dall-assblows · 11-07-2006, 01:25 PM

1. Jordan
2. Chamberlain
3. Russell
4. Bird
5. Magic Johnson
6. Dr. J.
7. Havlichek
8. Jerry West
9. Kareem
10. The highest Lebron COULD be ranked if he has an amazing career

Sorry, he's the best NOW, but I don't see him surpassing ANY of the guys I listed.

Sounds like Karl Malone Jr. to me!

have to agree here. lebron may earn himself a spot among the greats, but this early in his career, he's done nothing to come close to passing anyone on that list.

Monkeydad · 11-07-2006, 02:03 PM

I'm even projecting after the end of his career. Even if he wins a few championships, he'll still fall short of the great players I listed who won a ton of them.

Steve Kerr has won a ton of rings...that alone doesn't make him better than say...Charles Barkley.

That Guy · 11-07-2006, 02:06 PM

well, i mean, he could end up averaging 70 points a game or something. it'll never happen, but you can be sure till everything is said and done.

dall-assblows · 11-07-2006, 02:07 PM

remember last year when he walked up to gil during the playoffs and said dont miss or something. your not allowd to do that.

dmek25 · 11-07-2006, 02:33 PM
