LBJ, Kobe, Wade, Dirk, MJ etc. don't give a rats %+$ about what you or anyone else thinks.

Apologize for the rant this early, just generally annoyed by a lot off stuff right now.

 @ this post coming from you of all people.

"Stanism" is bad but almost as bad is "haters" using illogical, baseless arguments to disparage a certain team or player, whether it be Kobe or LeBron or the Heat or the Lakers.  

Why is that? Oh I forgot, check my sig/SN...everything is automatically disqualified. Ppl get mad when someone says LBJ had been Pippen to Wade's MJ in the Finals so far when clearly its been the case as was the opposite in the Bulls series. Is that not a fact? Check the thread though everyone 'hating' on LBJ and the Heat are not Laker fans. "Some men just want to watch the world burn"

at anyone thinking I am pretending to be a Mavs fan (born a Laker fan, reppin' since 85, and still kick'n)... check my sig. son... only pretenders are those that think they are a Miami fan.  Especially gotta love the son with Knicks in his sig crossed out with  heat below it

.  Maybe 2 Heat fans on this board before this season and now the Lebron homers pretending they are life long Heat fans.

Except Wade was nowhere to be found during the ECF while LeBron and also Bosh carried the team on offense in that series

It goes both ways.

Couldn't care less about who "the man" is. They all put in work, and they all deserve the ring if they close out the series. I'd be perfectly happy for all of them.

Lakers have 16 Championships though.
Cool beans. So I suppose you're happy with not winning another one...good to know.

I'm just glad Lebron is getting a ring but sadly one won't be enough to shut the haters up

It's looking like the hate will live on FOREVER

No dummy... i'm happy that Lakers have 16, how much does YOUR team have? And actually try to think before you jumped on the bandwagon.

You're to easy, boy!

It's already started.

Espn headline: "LeBron vs. Wade?" I know everybody hates that they all came together but these dudes stirring the pot trying to force a divide before they even accomplish anything.

You have to respect what Wade is doing here, he's been here before and he's assumed the reigns to help lead the team past Dallas towards another NBA title. Miami is playing this so well.. They want to double and triple LBJ, he passes off to Wade who twists and maneuvers his way to the rim. Want to come at Wade, oops LBJ just mashed on your whole team. Leave Bosh open? Mid range! Rooar! I'm loving the fruition of this Big Three dynamic.




It'll be interesting to see what Dallas does in response to Wade's play in game 2 though. Do they show him the same attention they showed LBJ? Will they activate Butler? This is an opportunity that doesn't come along too often and it might not come back around for the elder members of their squad.. I'd be surprised if Dallas doesn't come out raging in game 4.

The thing is you Laker fans act like if you "ROOT" for Miami, you're all of a sudden a bandwagon Miami fan.  Yet you guys are "rooting" for Dallas no?  Stop playing yourselves.

Okay, this thread is now full-on ridiculous. Trying to pit Lebron vs. Wade is downright silly. They play on the same team, for God's sake.

Wade is doing what it takes to win. Lebron is doing what it takes to win. In this series, Lebron is double- and triple- teamed and/or being guarded by a capable Shawn Marion or DeShawn Stevenson. Wade often finds himself one-on-one against a 38 year old point guard. For the TEAM, it is more beneficial for Wade to exploit his match up and do the scoring. For the TEAM, it is more beneficial for Lebron to handle the ball and make good passes to the hot hands. Lebron has been superb defensively, especially in the 4th quarter. It's also been shown that in the 4th quarter Lebron's man has scored a total of 5 points in 3 games. They're both doing what it takes to win. They're on the SAME TEAM.

Why should any serious basketball fan care if he scores a million points or not? Is being alpha-dog volume scorer the ONLY way you can be a great player? Are us basketball fans supposed to descend into that "casual fan" mode of only paying attention to point totals and judging player solely on that? It's almost like some of you are endorsing ballhogging, individualism, ego, and all that stuff. Sorry, that's just not an NBA I want to watch if that's the only metric for a good player.

(This is all besides the fact that in the previous Bulls series Lebron was CLEARLY scoring much better than Wade was. And in the Celtics series before that, the two were equally contributing huge games. That's what assembling the "Big 3" was supposed to be about -- balance and teamwork and mutual dependability, not alpha dog establishment.)

Anyway, I'm more interested in the Mavs right now... who in the world cares if Lebron or Wade is better or who's riding who. There are two teams playing this NBA finals, in case some of you forgot.
