Re: NBA Thread
You're joking right?
No disrespect intended to Robinson. Your feelings didn't come into it.
Robinson was a big mobile centre. But a power player? No way. I'm happy to trust your judgement on Sabonis as you saw him more than I did. But I was a Spurs fan and saw heaps of Robinson. A fine player, but got pushed around too much.
Thanks, again, for another even and measured response."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Re: NBA Thread
Apologies, just when someone complains about a post being too short and not explaining something, then has it explained and brushes it off by implying that Robinson is soft it annoys me.Comment

Re: NBA Thread
Where did I complain about a post that was too short or that it didn't explain something? You responded to my post (for the second time in this thread) by having a dig at me instead of addressing the issue being discussed.
And I never implied (or thought) that Robinson was soft. I said he wasn't the most physical player, and nor did I mean any disrespect to him by it.
As it seems I need to explain then here it is: David Robinson was a great and skillful player. He was tough and resilient and a terrific athlete. But there's no way he could be described as a power player that physically intimidated and imposed his will on his opposition.
If you choose to respond to this I would hope you'll address what is being discussed rather than taking another shot at me."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Saying you didn't watch someone enough isn't taking a dig at you, it is telling you the truth which you later admitted anyway.Comment

Re: NBA Thread
Mate I'm on the Mavs big time in this series. When they were down by 15 mid 4th, I was like all those fans watching in the Dallas arena. What a comeback!
Even when Chalmers hit that 3 to tie it, I knew Dirk would seal the deal.Comment

Re: NBA Thread
The funny part is that he doesn't need help, he needs someone to take over a game - which considering his standing in the game and iconic status is pathetic.Comment

Re: NBA Thread
I've been rooting against Lebron as much as anyone this year but if you watched the Boston & Chicago series' you would not use the word "pathetic" in any sense of the word.
He obliterated D-Rose on the defensive end and hit every big shot needed.
People seem to think a carbon coby of MJ or Kobe is the only template to create an icon.
Wade is clearly the better closer, but Lebron all around performance in the playoffs can't be questioned.Doing my best to use emojis more frequently :oComment

Re: NBA Thread
Sounds like some in the media are taking my perspective on this too.

Re: NBA Thread
Sorry but if you are being labelled the greatest ever and refer to yourself as the King, you need to close out games.
Chicago choked. James was huge against Boston.
Not particularly a James hater. Hate the way he left Cleveland and think he is a tosser but I think most NBA stars are tossers.Comment

Re: NBA Thread
I don't believe anyone has said he is the greatest ever.
Scottie Pippen recently said he might be one day better than Jordan.
He is not currently Top Ten given he has no titles on his resume.
If you don't believe his defense wiped Derrick Rose off the court when it mattered, then you're dreamin.
Arnold Palmer was called the King and he threw away more US Opens than you could shake a stick atDoing my best to use emojis more frequently :oComment
