you lucky you did not bet. Fam, this a blowout grin

I swear. I hate how the raptors just disappear under pressure. You would think Lowry's toughness would rub off a little. Derozan, man... undecided

ALL LBJ teams have been naturally lazy. They try to coast until they have to play hard. Either coach is having an effect on his childhood pal, or something has these guys stirred up. Or raptors just suck smh

In other news, Game 1 is perfect for the raptors to steal. 8 days is a looong time and I dont see cavs getting into gear until 4th quarter. Raps have the momentum and a much superior backcourt - this game is theirs to lose. If I were betting, I would bet raptors tonight and make a boatload of money
Lol. you'ld have been in debt... Raptors over cavs?

SmooshCHN:
I guess you don't even follow James or listen to him from time to time. He dissed Curry after the MVP award, trying to bring a new definition of MVP, claimed he also was heated getting unanimous MVP vote in 2011. Said someone else deserved coach of the year. All those little things are immaturity and arrogance. most of us here don't like that. And that's why There'll always be a difference between Kobe, MJ and LeBron.

'I think sometimes the word
'valuable' or best player of the year,
you can have different results,''
James told the Associated Press.
''You know, that's not taking
anything from anyone that's ever
won the award.

''Look at Steph's numbers. He
averaged 30, he led the league in
steals, he was 90-50-40 (shooting
percentages from the free-throw line,
field and 3-pointers), and they won
73 (games). So, I don't, do you have
any debate over that, really, when it
comes to that award? But when you
talk about most 'valuable' then you
can have a different conversation,
so, take nothing away from him, he's
definitely deserving of that award,
for sure.''

That was what he said about steph winning the title, he praised him, so what you talking about again

he didn't really praise curry,he agrees that curry is the best in the league but he says who is the most "valuable" player is up for discussion.

Well he feels steph is the player of the year and not the mvp.. when lebron sits out,his team loses but when steph sits out, his team wins.. I thinks thats what hes trying to bring out. He feel he his more valuable to his team than curry. But lets leave that... We won grin and im being for real irving nd lebron overrated the splash brother tonight.
James shot 84.6%, the highest FG% in his playoff career, 3rd-best in his 1,174-game career.. Is it cause rapts are a weak team or what... Im waitin for the finals.. I want gsw I swear

That's all. A whole 133people voted for Steph (Unanimous) but you feel you're more valuable. Talk about self-apraisal.
Please don't be confused here.. Everyone on this thread knows LeBron is good. You just hype him too much than he is. Maybe if you stop we'll be keen to pay less attention to his egocentry especially if you stop it.

dearie it's not most valuable player on your team But in the league. WHAT MAKES LEBRON MVP THIS SEASON? JUST MAKE ONE SOLID ARGUMENT FOR HIM am waiting. angry

Whose fault is it that Lebron's team who are supposed to have backups in Kyrie and Love decided not to take ownership? GSW has a winning mentally, they hate to lose with or without Curry they get it done. Should we now put an asterisks to his award because he is on a team which HE MADE BETTER? MADE EVERYONE BETTER angry .

Curry broke the league, Warriors broke every slated "untouchable record" dude came back from an injury and broke another record TWICE shocked okc-gsw matchup and playoffs. He deserves every attention he is getting angry

Lebron has only padded his stats and never made anyone better, very egocentric and every team he goes to news fly around about the dissatisfaction of his team mates AND COACHES angry Being a one eyed king in the company of blind men shows how weak he is. Him saying his team can't win without him calls his leadership to question. But Curry turned some group of players no one had high hopes for to stellar performers also not taking anything away from his shine.

Ask Varejao dude is so happy coming to this team of brothers grin. We haven't heard anything bad about Curry this year even his wife n kids r repping with good values everywhere kiss and Lebron James calling the meaning of mvp to question is so downright disrespectful and typically arrogant of him angry

*As for OKC, there is no grind anywhere Warriors is taking this series in 5

Nothing can be done concerning that. He knows there's nothing for him ij the West. Some people call it Laziness and some call it Wisdom. Just like Mayweather picking who and when to Fight and Pacqiao ready to fight anyone. Nothing can be done. The Eastern Conference teams just have to put up competition that's all. At least they have to stop making it look like they're not interested in the championship race.

This would have made sense had Lebron not gone to Miami and won the MVP 2 more times. In 2 of his 4 seasons with Miami, particularly 2012 and 2013, Miami did win some games without Queen Lebron. So why didn't he make his argument then that he probably was not the most valuable? That's right, it is because he won it then.

The difference between Kobe and Lebron is just as A40 said. Kobe is atleast forthright with his egocentrism. Lebron welcomed Curry into the league, invited him to his house, bowled with him, wished him well, tweeted about his shooting prowess- until Curry became the best player in the league. Then all of a sudden Cleveland are down 3-2 to GSW in the NBA finals and Leflop declares "I am not worried about the game 6, because I am the best player in the whole world". I mean what type of tomfoolery is that?

This very season, when Curry put up 36 against the spurs to make it 3-1 for the season, the same Diva starts tweeting about how he is watching Mailman Malone and the Utah Jazz in the NBA WCFs of 1997 just to let everyone know he was not watching the spurs game. Same Diva Lebron starts unfollowing journalists in Cleveland because they questioned his loyalty to his team when he was hugging Miami players after his team got walloped. Same immature Lebron, unfollowed the Cleveland Cavs twitter handle because he doesn't like nor can he tolerate criticism.

I have a lot to say about Lebron. How he would have had no ring without Ray Allen's clutch shooting, how refs helped him win OKC in 2012 etc. But that would be me downplaying the fact that he is perhaps a basketball savant who refs let have his way when he charges into players anyhow to make his points in the paint grin

Let me stop here.

In Raptors defence, they got blown out in almost every game away from their home court in the playoffs this year.

I just hope they take at least 1 of their home games to make it a 5-game series atleast.

cmon don't be emotional about this grin Lebron has work issues, leadership issues, maturity issues and character issues shocked.

What you should ask yourself is: all the facts listed here against Lebron, Is it true? If you are sincere, you'd see our point. I also love the fact you can't bring up any argument whatsoever on why anyone shouldn't be a fan of Curry. grin kiss

lol. There are no reasons to hate curry. I dont sound like I hate him, but im not his fan.. If I keep bringing out points to love lebron, y'll would still be bringing out his faults.

And we talking about good player, his achievemnts, were not talking bout his behaviour, funny u said he has leadership issues. I doubt that, we're not talking about behaviour, when he retires, they wont remember him for his behaviours, they'll remember him for his achievemnts.. For example we all know kanye west is damn too arrongant and aggressive but when We look at his avhievemnts, 21gramys, TLOP album rocked they world his shoes went platinum, we hardly notice his behaviours and focus more on his achievents.

And I can't stand over 8 curry's fan over here.. But when we talk of achievemnts. Lebron has more. Thats all i'm concerned about and not his behaviours

So you agree LeBron is an Arse with behavioral and social issues but you don't care about that you just care about he's achievement. Well you're right. Once a legend, always a legend. History does not remember Humility or Arrogance.
