Yes, it's perfectly reasonable to conclude that LeBron forgot about his teammates, refuses to share the spotlight with his teammates, is completely full of himself and isn't smart because of a single minute long interview. (Which one? And what was he asked?)

I want the Heat to win another championship. A championship that they would win without help from the Big Three aka the refs.

Don Gilbert congratulates Miami and OKC, leaves LeBron out

Probably handled quite well, by his standards. Also:

Classy stuff, you can certainly criticise some of the coaching decisions he made like sitting Durant with the four fouls in Game 3, but that was a fine speech to his team and great sportsmanship. I hope he does return to the Thunder and gets a chance to get better along with them, learn from his mistakes and have a chance to redeem himself.
Nice guy but he did a horrible job coaching this series. His defensive schemes, his substitutions and his adjustments were awful. If Phil Jackson was coaching the Thunder I GUARANTEE OKC wins it all.

I personally dont think he did a horrible job coaching this series, i think the 'no-show' of james harden and the suspect play of the refs killed the thunder, dont get me wrong miami played great, but the refs were horrible this series, they killed it for me..... had to be the worst series and year of nba basketball for me!


He made some blunders, but then Spoelstra's made some of his own the last few years. There has to be some trust there, some leeway to mess up and then strive for redemption. I think Brooks deserves the opportunity to learn from his mistakes along with his players and have the opportunity to helm them as they re-group and make more runs at the title in the years to come.

Late, but congrats to the Heat on their championship, they were a better team than the Thunder despite the officiating. It pains me a little to say "congrats" because I lost 50 bucks on this series, now I'm gonna have to endure some shit-talking from the guy I lost to all summer. It was more frustrating than necessary watching the Thunder play all series due to the fact that I put money on them. :lol: Definitely looking forward to next season's outcome, I hope the Thunder make it back to the playoffs for another chance at the title.

Cuban owning Skip Bayless. How can a sports journalist talk have no idea about the sport of basketball?

Re: 2012 NBA Finals: (2) Heat vs (2) Thunder

Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:49 pm

Mark Cuban definitely has grown on me. His passion for the sport just is admiring. More owners should be more like him and Arison.

Despite his extreme generalization Skip Clueless is fun to have around. In the case above... lol at Stephen A Smith keeping his mouth shut.

Re: 2012 NBA Finals: (2) Heat vs (2) Thunder

Stephen A. Smith got his own segment to say stupid things and get owned by Mark Cuban (start around 26 minutes): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXL9SyIZkDI

"We need 24/7 access to coaches or players because watching a game and understanding what's happening is impossible!"

I found it even more entertaining, how easy Cuban got his rant of with real interruption from Bayless.
My favourite part was the "he want it more" thing... Awesome! (Y)

He is so stupid to mess with Mark Cuban. I mean the guy spent so many years being around his team, coaches, it's almost like he could be a coach from what he learned over the years.

I fucking LOVE Mark Cuban! All Shit Bayless is good for is sucking off Tim Tebow.

One critique I have is him using "generalities" over and over as it undercuts part of his argument when he uses his own. What he's really talking about is the manufactured narrative that modern media has to force onto all events on earth to justify THEIR existence, since they are the only ones qualified to tell you what the proper "narrative" is.

I got what he meant, but not everyone is as brilliant as me.

Case in point: shadowgrin.

Looks like the Jordan cultists are starting to become afraid.

Also a fun fact: LeBron James, not from Cleveland.

I'm not a Jordan cultist, I'm a Chicagoan. We're not afraid, just annoyed. Everytime a great player wins a championship people start using the J word. That's a sin where I come from. Also a fun fact. You're a douche bag.

Gosh, I didn't know Chicago fans are so religious. Just for the record, I never called LeBron Jesus. Can we be friends?
