In those sports, you can't just add one or two superstar free agents and expect to be necessarily any better than you were the year before. You have to develop depth, draft well, coach well.

agree with this 100%. same thing with the celtics a few years ago. shitty team, had cap space, and bam, nba title contender year in year out. really makes me lose a lot of interest in the nba tbh.

I say he stays in Cleveland. If LJ stays in Cleveland that is a pretty good mix in the East. The west needs to build up some of their teams to make a run at the Lakers.

^^ Exactly. We're talking about star impact. Toss 2 great NBA players on a team and even with an average cast around them chances are they can still carry that team pretty far.

Toss 2 great NFL players on a team with an average cast, and they're going probably nowhere.

Ok I see your guys point.

From a casual observer of the NBA, I'm buying into the hype. I'm interested to see where he goes and I think the excitement surrounding the start of the season will be huge. Will I tune in to this special tonight? Probably not, but I'll be checking ESPN.com frequently to see what his decision is.

CRedskinsRule · 07-08-2010, 10:35 AM

I am sure the twitterverse will blow up around 9:50 tonight.

hooskins · 07-08-2010, 10:47 AM

Agreed with Schneed. I have my opinions about the way the game is called too, which I hate.

Key example, were the Patriots that won a bunch of Super Bowls with sub-par and aging rosters

skinsfan69 · 07-08-2010, 11:48 AM

can someone explain why this is getting so much pub? it's being broadcast on espn for a freakin hour??? are you kidding me? what a joke! you could not pay me to watch this garbage. espn ought to be ashamed of themselves for buying into the hype of this attention whore, ego maniac. kobe destroys this guy by miles. i'd rather watch the womens us open at oakmont, or watch the hard knocks re runs on NFL Network.

Speaking of Hard Knocks I can't wait til the new season. It's such a great show. I've been watching the re-runs too.

So is Hulu going to show new episodes?

Hard Knocks - Full Episodes and Clips streaming online for free - Hulu

Each season is only 5 episodes???? IS that right?

oh ok, I have seen most of KC and some 2nd Dallas. It is fun to go back and see past episodes and know how their season turns out.
