I'd take on for the team...

For what it's worth she has a hyphenated last name, but I don't know if that equals a husband

Ros was born in Queens, New York to Pat Gold and Austin Onwude. She would go on to play high school basketball at Archbishop Molloy High School. Ros's team won two state titles in 2003 and 2004, but a knee injury finished her senior season early. Despite the injury, Ros was able to leave Molloy as a highly decorated player. Ros became the first athlete in the program's history to play Division 1 basketball after accepting a scholarship toStanford University. Ros left the program as the team's second all-time leading scorer and was the all-time leader in steals and assists despite a knee injury.

Jordan was never hated by the media. Lets not revise history. He's always represented corporate interests and the expansion of the 24 hour sports news cycle. LeBron has Skip Bayless (an admitted Jordan dickrider who covered the Bulls) whos made a career off overscrutinzing him. Who was Jordan's Bayless? He had none. In fact when Jordan bombed as a baseball player he stopped working with SI for clowning him on their cover and the writer of the story was blackballed. When Jordan was swept by the Cs. His 63 point effort in a loss was played up. The media went out of its way to cover him as far as bball goes AND his personal life in ways they dont do for athletes today and thats greatly impacted his perception today. Its how hes still able to sell shoes and rack up endorsements.


Also why when LeBron wins or balls out do people run from mentioning Jordan or downplay the comparisons? But when he loses the other day its "Mike wouldve did this, killer instinct, etc"? Because Jordan dickriders leech off Bron and his brand ONLY to cross promote MJs.

Point is, the only one obsessed with Jordan at this point is you! No doubt Jordan was a role model and the measuring stick for years however simce his prime years we've had Shaq, Kobe, TD and the Spurs dynasty... We have players in the league who were barely even born when Air played so most people arent looking for him, only you. If he was such a factor for the league, he would be more prominently featured in damn near every element of League promotion... When was the last time he was interviewed? When was the last time a commercial of him was shown? Hell, when was the last time he was featured or mentioned during a game broadcast consistently?

The Jordan issue is with you and whatever your obsession is. You have the issue of not letting LeBrons achievements stand on their own merit, essentially disrespecting him with you obsession with Jordan. Whenever a discussion on LeBron is started rest assured you are thw one who introduces Jordan into the discussion... Case in point, my post that you quoted...

Do you bruh, its really sad the world youve created in your own mind... And even worse that you cant see how demented this obsession is...

If anything, youve created this dynamic that LeBrons achievements can only have merit if Jordan is involved in the discussion.... Weird and borderline psychotic obsession you have with both of these dudes chief. Real rap, not one LOL intended at all :smh:

Go ahead and cry schitzo!:lol:
 
Dick fixation again bruh?!?!?! Wow :rolleyes:

...anyway. Jordan was hated by the media, it was the general public, kids, etc that worshipped him more than anything else. This is a different time, dynamic, etc. and I believe LeBron's issues have nothing to do with a player who is 3-4 generations out of the league. It's more of an issue with how the media, league, etc wants to project a certain 'image'. LeBron, from HS was bigger than life... He started the ESPN era of broadcasting HS games on a national scale, covering major sports magazines, and being label KING, etc, which wasn't his fault, all fucked with the CAC establishment...

When he came into the league, it was still half expected for him to be overrated and underperform, but when he exceeded certain expectations as an 18 year old and dropped 27 in his first game, he became a problem. I even believe to a point, surrounding him with all those bums his first few years in Cleveland, etc. was a CAC conspiracy in which Gilbert participated in, the keep him from winning a Chip, even though he had a lot of success, which explains Gilberts run of 'LUCK' in getting what, 3 number ones in 4 years?!?!

Not only that, but Curry fits the narrative of, two parent, good wholesome upbringing, christian virtues, etc which is why him and his family are shoved down our throats so much... I'll bet most people can't name all of LeBron's kids names, but Riley Curry etc are easy to remember. Shit, Dude has stayed out of trouble, keeps his nose clean, is obviously a great father, obviously loves and takes care of his wife and family, yet, you NEVER see or hear about his wife, what she's up too, etc. Why?!?! Because LeBron comes from a single parent, poverty filled inner city childhood and that is NOT what the league or the CAC media wants to project as a foundation for success... KD, he's not the player LeBron is, so he's not a 'threat' to the narrative they want to project, which is why him, CP3, PG, etc get passes for their losses

With all that being said, as much as I ride this Dude, overall, the way he continues to succeed in the face of all of that bullshit is fucking spectacular, and I believe him losing a lot of these finals is partly because of this shit too... He's going to have to TAKE a chip, because he's not only playing against the other team, but against the 'Machine' :smh:

Well said man. I like Bronze as a player and he seems like a good dude, but his Stans are worse than Kobe or Jordan dick riders.

To be honest fam... and I've NEVER used that term, it's something really disturbing about the whole 'dick rider' thing? As a heterosexual male, to even conceive that dynamic mentally and then have it literally become a part of your regular vocabulary is weird... I'm out when that bullshit starts real rap...

As far as LeBron goes, his career will rest on its own merit. I clown LeBron a lot primarily to roast a particular member, but ultimately, he is one of the greatest players I've ever seen, and when I realized the context of his career as Bomani put it, he may not have the 'Killer Instinct' ON the court, but to endure the scrutiny he's had to since 10th grade and to still achieve the level of success he has, he may be the most mentally strong athletes ever...

The imbalance in criticism is amazing! CP3 gets clowned, but he's been a 100 times worse failure than LeBron could ever be and he doesn't get a 1oth of the hate... Then, respect to @playahaitian for a post he made yesterday basically saying since we refer to LeBron as a GM, in getting to 6 straight finals, imagine if all GMs were held to the same standard... That post fucked me up... :lol:

Dude is definitely one of the greatest to ever lace them up though, he deserves the respect of being judged on his own merit though... :yes:
 
Well said man. I like Bronze as a player and he seems like a good dude, but his Stans are worse than Kobe or Jordan dick riders.

Bullshit. You Kobe and Jordan dickriders are the most insecure ass fans in NBA history. And you jump on waves, pull for everybody that goes against LeBron, and have 0 reference for NBA history. LeBron fans just pull for LeBron.
 
Yeah. Kind of hard to change when things have worked so well that you won 73 games with it.

I don't know if it's fatigue, shooting slump, good defense...or a combination of any or all of those things, but they haven't shot well this series or for long stretches over the playoffs. Again with Steph, for the exception of two games, he's just been an average shooter.

I don't think they'll go into panic mode yet, but if they continue to shoot like that, at what point does Kerr tell them to change their tactics and try to be more aggressive by attacking the basket a bit... because if these role players don't keep this production up, the warriors are going to let the Cavs back in this
I feel you, but you know if you played ball, sometimes you just need to see the ball go in the basket. As great of shooters they are, shooting 25 footers all game when they aren't dropping in isn't wise. You gotta get off that snide. Put the ball on the floor. Take it to the rim. Get an open 18 footer. Make a couple of FTs. Find your rhythm and confidence and then go back to what was always working for you.

Curry will be 0-for and each subsequent shot will be of a greater difficulty.

While what you say is true, he has trolled the shit out of you

Sucked you into writing a term paper

Lebron is simply arrogant and feels he knows everything. Then you add the quitting two different teams, the firing of coaches, his strong arm attics on his teams organization it should not be a surprise why Lebron rubs people the wrong way.

KD and Westbrook blew a 3 to 1 lead and no one said a thing about them. KD and Westbrook are not trying to be GMS and build these super teams just to sulk and throw passive aggressive jabs at teammates when shit is not working out. People are hip to Lebron and his ways.
 
We always get on Lebron for his performance against the Mavs in 2011. And Curry might get away with this because is team is so balanced, but this is an epic underperformance so far..epic. He's averaging 15 points a game (half of his season's average) and things like turnovers, etc are up.

This is a point guard who had 3 assists on 6 TOs. Curry is playing like ass on the biggest stage.
The first two games Curry was not needed so him trying to pad stats would have been silly and selfish. Hell, he only took 11 shots in game

So i would not overreact just yet. Curry really has only played a bad half. He scored 17 in the 2nd half, mostly in the 3rd.

He is shooting the ball at around 47% (minus the 3 half court shots) but is only averaging 13 shots a game. The number of shot attempts seems to be the problem. He will probably need to look for his shot more and often especially on the road. It would be one thing if he was in some type of funk but he is actually shooting the ball well but has not taken many shots. Like they say you have to give the Cavs some credit for that.

At home during the first two games that was understandable but on the road he needs to gets some shots up.
 
Curry will figure it out I've noticed in series games it takes him a few games to get back to doing what he does

Also GS gotta play and stop looking for calls on Cavs home floor cause they not gonna get it.. And they have to stop settling on the 3 ball your bailing out the cavs defense..

Curry gotta attack the basket..

Curry will be 0-for and each subsequent shot will be of a greater difficulty.

Yeah, it's usually mental. It's like you can literally feel 'off' or 'on' when shooting.

GS just plays percentages though. Steph and KT know if they keep jacking them up they will fall soon or later. When the shots do start falling, it just breaks the other team down mentally -- at least that's what it seems like.
 
Lebron is simply arrogant and feels he knows everything. Then you add the quitting two different teams, the firing of coaches, his strong arm attics on his teams organization it should not be a surprise why Lebron rubs people the wrong way.

Every player in the League is arrogant fam, it's magnified with LeBron. There should have been a lot of shit on session on KD and Westbrook for the arrogance they showed laughing and mocking Curry and then proceeding to get owned by him. Imagine if that was LeBron who did that!? There would STILL be articles being written on him.

The way he did the move to Mia was foul, but ultimately players leave teams all the time just like teams use and shit on players all the time...

Other players say shit, do dumb shit, choke, CP3 is one of the dirtiest sneakiness players in the league... But no real roasting. The hate on LeBron is on a different level Bruh :hmm:

Don't forget Curry is actually having to defend this series. He's been in foul trouble in two of the three games. There's no non scorer for them to stick him on to let him just play one end of the court.

Even when they put him on Shump, Shump is so much bigger and athletic, he puts pressure on him with drives.

Add that up with the Cavs being physical with him every moment, he's not out there able to run free and shimmy.

He needs to man up and play gritty ball. Stop waiting for shit to be fun and easy.

It is the passive aggressive nature of Lebron that people hate. How many passive aggressive people are generally liked in the real world? Not many.

How many coaches is Lebron going to get fired because he feels he knows what is best? How many times is he going to hold his teams front office hostage because he is trying to make player personnel moves by being a GM?

When things go wrong he never accepts responsibility for it. He got Wiggins traded, he brought in Love and he Left Wade and Bosh. He is the one who fired Blatt. Sad thing about all of that is Lebron wanted everything to run through him. Blatt offense required everyone to touch the ball but he could not stand that.

He wanted the floor spread so he can iso and dish out to corpses standing at the 3 pt line. Everyone has to adjust their game around him but he is never willing to do the same for other players. Everything he has ever done was for his benefit. Who has actually played better under him?

This is why people don't give him passes because he was and has been the center of the problem from his on doing. So when he fails no one is trying to hear his excuses.

The first two games Curry was not needed so him hi jacking the offense while his team was rolling just to pad stats would have been silly.

Game 3 he had a bad half but dropped 17 in the 3rd and early forth on 61% shooting. So I think everyone is overreacting to him have one bad half in game 3.

He's been ass cheeks in the finals last year and this year. And the shots he did take he missed. So did he miss the shots on purpose too to help his team keep rolling?

No shooter goes out there to purposely play bad. Just stop.

Your first paragraph, validates my whole point.

It's funny. If Lebron gets help, it's because he didn't show up. It's the supporting cast doing all the work. If Curry gets help, it's him stepping out of the way. It's never him not showing up and others having to step up. Could you imagine the shit that would be talked if Lebron were to win the finals and not be the MVP? :eek:

Curry can win two finals and not win the MVP and people won't say shit.

People tend to believe what they want and this is why I mentioned that overreacting can change the reality or truth. Curry was ass cheeks in the finals last season?

Game 1 - 26pts 8 assist 4 rebs
Game 2 - 19pts 5 assist 6 rebs
Game 3 - 27pts 6 assist 6 rebs
Game 4 - 22pts 7 assist 2 rebs
Game 5 - 37pts 3 assist 3 rebs
Game 6 - 26pts 8 assist 7 rebs

So I don't and never understood the narrative that Delly was a Curry stopper and that Steph played like ass in last year's finals.

He averaged 30 points a game that season. So he was held below his season average.

He shot 44% from 3 for the year yet only 38% for that series.

So, when his team was falling behind 2-1 he wasn't giving them his season averages. Considering they hide him in D, the fucking least he could do was that.

Stop making all these excuses for dude. HE says he needs to play better, but all the stans say "our hero is perfect! This is his plan!"

Gtfoh.

I tell you what, let him keep playing this way and see what happens.
 
Nope. I'm just not going to give ya boy Curry a pass if no one else gets one.

My boy? Turd posted Curry's stats last finals and u talkin curry played like ass? Stfu

So far this series I would count the first 2 games cause he didn't have to do shit but game 3 he played like shit..

Have something to say when the series is over
