Fuck LeBron James, Fuck ESPN and Fuck the NBA.
The NBA, as far as I'm concerned, is the bastard child of professional sports and has been for years. With crooked refs, a commissioner who manages his league as though it were Wrestlemania and players who have about as much loyalty as a college cheerleader on ecstacy, there is nothing noble or ethically viable left to admire.
The league's best days have come and gone and now we're looking at what can only be described as the twilight for what once used to be a highly competitive and highly entertaining spectacle. They've removed defense, replaced rivalry with ribbing and left all of us who grew up watching Jordan vs. Ewing with bullshit like the Lakers/Celtics NBA finals, a series that was only interesting because it was interesting in the 60's and 80's. Did anyone actually watch the NBA finals and find themselves sitting on the edge of their seat? Can you remember ANY NBA game in the last ten years that has left you breathless? I certainly fucking can't. It's showboats and money-mongers and "All-Stars" acting like babies and just...ugh. That's all there is to it.
LeBron James is a fantastic athlete, but he is also a fame-whore douchebag who is on the verge of throwing an entire fanbase under the bus for the chance to, what, win a worthless title in Miami? Who the fuck CARES about winning an NBA championship? What does it even MEAN? I mean, in baseball, you play every day and go through multiple ups and downs throughout a season and have to rely on luck and guys who get paid jack shit to step up and prove themselves in the clutch. In the NBA, you get...what...Derek Fisher? Robert Horry? Yawn. Fucking yawn.
Hockey and football at least force their guys to earn their paychecks by getting their ass kicked every time they play a game. They actually come close to earning the millions of dollars heaped upon them. NBA players? Not so much, at least, not as much as they let on. There are floppers and whiners and bad defenders and lazy ballhogs and...again...ugh. It's hard to even deal with it anymore.
So what do I think about LeBron James? I don't, howabout that. I don't care if he goes to the Heat or the Knicks or the Bulls or the Cavs. It doesn't matter, just like it doesn't matter that Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are playing together. It's a pointless exercise. A mind-numbing dog and pony show that gives guys like Bill Simmons a reason to get up in the morning. I'm done with professional basketball. I'm done with every aspect of it. I have no rooting interest for any team. It's over.
Witness that shit, why don't ya.

Let me get this straight. You're saying that baseball is more interesting than basketball because of its unpredictability in the clutch. That's because baseball is a boring ass stupid sport that has had its own glory days behind it as well.
ReplyDeleteAwww...what's the matter? You don't like baseball? Not a fan of the best professional sport? I can't really help you there, because obviously you are unbelievably wrong. Baseball IS more interesting than basketball because of its unpredictability in the clutch. You, however, are terribly predictable in your idiotic response, have fun not commenting here anymore.
