Okay... so because magic did something when he was 20 that Lebron did when he was much older they equate to the same decision? Kobe did it too, probably a lot of guys did under the table stuff as well. But that's not even what we're arguing is it?

Lebron couldn't come close to doing what magic did in his rookie year. Thats what we're on.

Hell Lebron can't do it with significant help. If anything, Lebron is part if the problem - in EVERY place he's been.

Its not even about that decision. Its about Magic, who has been talking shit since we signed lebron and bosh, while ignoring the fact that he did the same shit. Now he shows how two-faced he is, talking shit behind someones back when he used to wash there balls and smile in there face. Where I'm you from you get 0 respect for that shit, no matter how many meaningless championship rings you win. This has shit to do with basketball.

Hunter: "Philosophically, it's a real large gap between the groups." He added NBA wants pre-condition of 50-50 BRI to meet again.

Feels like players about to dig in, now. Principle will matter here, too. Not just money.

Ken Berger
Hunter: "I think it's all about putting money in their pockets. It's nice to talk about teams being competitive."

Why? Most of their wounds are self inflicted.

I'm not saying the player aren't at fault (they fucking are.) but owner's hands aren't clean in all of this either

Exactly. Perhaps had LeBron not pussied out every year there wouldbt be any room for the jokes. Also Michigan state lost and Magic didnt desert them. He came back and fulfilled his promise of bringing a chip to the school. LeBron? Lol. Also before Magic arrived Kareem wasnt enjoying playing and the team wasnt going anywhere. Magic arrives? NBA championship. So yea. Magic can talk as much shit as he wants since hes earned the right.

It's WoJ, he's just trying to be dramatic, both sides will be talking again next week. The players will cave sometime in December after missed checks and the season will start early 2012.

Wtf does any of that have to do with Magic being a two-faced coward?

Sure he can talk shit. I just wished he'd do it like a man instead of like some gossiping ass little girl.

Imma just pretend like you are intentionally ignoring my point and that you don't lack reading comprehension.

Lol at you dudes.

Dude it was a fucking joke...

I asked if it was a joke. Most people seem to think not. IDK.

And if thats so, why is Cloving trying so hard to defend Magic's right to talk shit?

Cause Magic won.

Its really that simple.

Some players benefit their team, others just add stats.

As giri said, Magic won. He can talk as much shit as he wants to. He showed up in pivotal games and didn't shrink away to the corner. When LeBron does the same in a championship series then the jokes will go away. Magic had the sit downs with LeBron BEFORE he pussied out in this years finals. You do realize that, right? Has he had an interview with him since? Not that I know of. So again, Magic won and LeBron hasn't.

Where are you from? Seriously though? I hope I know someone at least from your state so I can fuck with them.

North Carolina. And I'm so glad I grew out of that set claiming tribalism... stop trying to fling that third grade shit at magic for making the same decision that Lebron did and look clear at the fact that magic showed up his rookie season and Lebron still hasn't.

Since when does winning a basketball game give you the right to be a two-faced coward?

Instead of answering that you are gonna make some wack ass lebron 4th quarter joke.
 
Two faced coward for what exactly? Winning and not doing what Lebron did by going to where he wanted to play? Wait... thats not right. For getting the only coach that demanded more of him fired? ...nope, that can't be it either. Talking shit like all hall of famers do?

Its called respect. You're in the Army so you probably wouldn't know anything about that, but you lose respect when you do shit such as that. I'll teach you Private.
 
Perhaps of most interest, Hunter and union attorney Jeffrey Kessler both claimed that something occurred at the Board of Governors meeting on Wednesday night and Thursday morning to change the tone of the owners' approach. Hunter stated that there was a feeling from the owners that they had surrendered too much in previous meeetings.

is this Glen Taylor's work? I got this feeling Gilbert is trying to punish the players for Lebron, too.

Magic won, he can make fun of those who haven't.


Like last years 2ks commercial

Drose and Kobe were talking smack and as a response to one of rose's quips kobe said "my player's great because he's a 5joke time champ"

Rose's response? He laughed and said, "there's nothing I can say to that!"

It ain't about where you come from. Its what you do once you get here.

As for your homie Lebron, he didn't win. Nor has he ever shown up. You flinging shit at magic for laughing at him is GOP-esque.

Ttwo faced, what about this is two faced? He didn't shirk from it, people have been comparing them saying LBJ could play point guard and can be used like Magic @ the Lakers. If he wants to throw hi 2 cents in, he's rather entitled too. Considering that he's one of the best all time PG's and knows how to win, his opinion is somewhat relevant. Magic wins so much, he even beat AIDS. Has LBJ even beat mumps or cancer yet?

Of course, what i could do is completely dilute the point and start arguing about ... actually i'm not sure what your defense is....?

How exactly? Im curious as to why you think basketball transcends morals.

Also you don't understand the difference between sitting two feet from a person while talking shit and going a couple of states away and doing it behind someones back?

Players are trying to create scapegoats in Gilbert and Holt?



Why? What's the point? How will this help? The owners are basically saying "Hate the NBA's workers and product, fans!" and the players are responding by saying "The people who get sponsors and capital for this league are untrustworthy!"
