Re: #DwightHowardsDad

If Rose is truly going to take the rest of the year off, then Noah and Deng should go get their surgeries and the Bulls should tank and get a good pick. Let the team come back stronger next year and let guys like Gibson, Teague, and Butler get better with extended playing time.

If Rose does comeback, then let the team go full throttle and win the championship.

I agree, the team has been working their asses off to stay afloat in his absence & his return being pushed back was smh worthy.

If he does sit the year out i agree Noah & Deng should get their surgeries & come back at full strength to make a run for the championship.

But i don't think he will, i still think he'll be back this season.

At least i hope he will.

Re: #DwightHowardsDad

Also, for what it is worth, Rose has said publicly that he can't dunk "off stride". I'm not going to imply that he is being deceptive, but Stacey King has confirmed on a radio show here locally that he has watched Rose dunk in shoot around on numerous occasions.

I really have no care for the rest of the season if D Rose chooses to not play for the entire season. Yes I want him to be fully fit and healthy, but if I was a member of the Bulls, after playing their hearts out and grinding it out. I'd be quite disappointed if Rose doesn't come back.

Dont know if it was mentioned or talked about but did anyone read the article or interview where Jordan said Kobe is better than Lebron and all he basically used was the ring argument.

If Lebron wins a title this year and is MVP again would anyone of you have them even. Ppl always bring up Kobe's 5 but rarely bring up only 2 finals mvps.

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

This kinda pisses me off. So should Harden not come back this season since they don't have a chance to win a championship? Deron Williams? Should all best players sit out for the season if they get injured because what's the point if their team isn't likely to win the championship? This line of thinking is getting a little absurd. If he is ever 100% healthy, he (or anyone else) should play, unless there is a medical certainty that re-injury is more probable with an early comeback.

Watching the game and Miller saying if Lebron consistently makes them 3's he may be looking over his shoulders. He has really imprived as a 3 point shooter. Maybe those friendly competitions with Allen has made him better.

I always thought if you just compare them as individuals then its easily Lebron over Kobe. Doesnt he average more points,rebounds and assists career wise. Its just the ring argument which is a team achievement.

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

Surpassing Kobe means he's top 10 which is about the most laughable thing I've heard. So yeah notorious, lol @ you.


also :lmao @ finals MVP argument. Since when is that an argument? Kobe had Shaq on his team oh played like an absolute monster in those years, it's not Kobe was playing horrendously bad like Lebron did in his first two finals.

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

I fail to see how LeBron with another MVP, another title and another Finals MVP being in the top 10 is laughable.
so how exactly does two good years make him surpass Kobe? Should I forget all the previous playoff failures just because he might win two rings? Should we should his whole legacy on these past two years and forget those two previous finals where he was essentially shut down? I should also forget him quitting on the Cavs in the playoffs his last year there or are you going to try to tell me he was all in against the Celtics that year?

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

The fact that LeBron even got that Cavs team to the Finals is an accomplishment in itself. How many NBA players have/could've led a team with a starting lineup on the caliber of Daniel Gibson, Sasha Pavlovic, Drew Gooden and Zydrunas Ilgauskas to the Finals?

Let's not act like Kobe hasn't come up short in the playoffs before. Let's not act Kobe hasn't played bad in the Finals before.

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

the only good East team that year was the Pistons. Let's not act like it was a huge accomplishment for him to do so either, he carried them against the Pistons but that was the only team they really had to face that would give them any trouble. the Spurs showed they were nowhere close to championship material when they faced them and destroyed them.

And I'm not saying Kobe would have done better with them.

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

Okay Notorious. I still find it a joke and laughable to say Lebron will surpass Kobe because that means he's surpassing a lot of other players imo that he hasn't surpassed. :kobe

"two good years"
I said great and meant in the playoffs wise.


edit: I didn't say great. I was wrong, but I should have said great. oh well. :kobe3

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

It is. It is a huge damn accomplishment to take a supporting cast that bad to the Finals, no matter how you try to spin it. Taking a team with his 2nd best player being Daniel Gibson to the Finals is a big accomplishment. The Pistons were an elite team and LeBron destroyed them.

To say it's a joke and laughable to think LeBron if he wins another MVP, another ring and another Finals MVP could surpass Kobe is just you being a homer. I fail to see how thinking LeBron surpassing him with 3 more MVP's than Kobe, the same amount of Finals MVPs but 3 less rings (Kobe won those 3 as a sidekick I might add, and one of them with him averaging 16 PPG on 37% shooting), I fail to see how that's just a joke.

You can bring up how LeBron played bad in his two Finals losses but let's compare LeBron's Finals losses to Kobe's.
LeBron 2007: 22.0 PPG on 36/20/69 shooting, 7.0 RPG, 6.8 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.5 BPG
LeBron 2011: 17.8 PPG on 48/32/60 shooting, 7.2 RPG, 6.8 APG, 1.7 SPG, 0.5 BPG

Kobe 2004: 22.6 PPG on 38/17/92 shooting, 4.4 APG, 2.8 RPG, 1.8 SPG, 0.6 BPG
Kobe 2008: 25.7 PPG on 41/32/80 shooting, 5.0 APG, 4.7 RPG, 2.7 SPG, 0.2 BPG

Looks to me like Kobe was playing just as bad as LeBron in those losses, except Kobe shot more of course leading to more points.

Re: D-GOD or D-DEVIL? #BAHGAWD #COUNTONKOBE

youre all time list changes pretty frequently, no? And I disagree with that ranking of course because I obviously have him high as I'm a homer. and lol because I can since I wouldn't take either Shaq or Duncan over him.
