You said and I quote...[/quotes]
"Kobe was just never a smart basketball player."
This is true. Just because he can score a lot of points, doesn't make him an overall smart basketball player. The game is more than scoring the ball. It's making the right play, at the right time. Kobe was never good at that for the most part. This is a man who will have guys wide open, and still hoist up a turn around, fade-away, 3-pointer with 3 hands in his face, because he refused to pass the ball. He takes more bad shots than anyone I've seen. I think I said that before also. You gonna tell me that that's smart basketball? Kobe thinks that he has to take every shot and sometimes, that's not the correct basketball play. The thing I give lebron is that he makes the correct play, even if he get crucified for it. His basketball IQ is higher than Kobe's and I don't see how anyone can dispute that. lebron has a PG's mentality which requires a high BBIQ.
That was not a relative statement, it stood on its own. You have done this before during discussions, suddenly changed the context of your statement after being told how stupid the statement sounded.
Just because you disagree with it, doesn't make it stupid.
The above quote is absolute asininity at its finest. Now if you are going to say something like this, giving your half-assed analysis on ballplayers in the NBA, own up to it.
Again, you say this like you're some sort of authority. You value your opinion way too much. You come off like a blowhard and a bully because you don't agree with someone. You hurl insults, even when none are being thrown at you. You don't respect anyone's opinion if they don't agree with you. I don't agree with the things you say, but I don't throw insults at you because of it.
And you know, I was wrong about the intent of this thread, this thread was not about basking Lebron, it was about bashing certain posters on this site who have a high opinion of Lebron James' abilities on the court.
And you're still wrong. It wasn't about bashing the people who have a high opinion of lebron james. It's about those people not letting the people who don't grovel at his feet, or worship at his throne having the ability to say something without being attacked for it.
This is
BULLS forum, yet we have people dissing the Bulls players, defending other teams' players, not believing in this team, begging for other stars to come here. I'm calling that type of attitude out.
