NBA Finals

You said RAW SKILL, not athleticism you sorry troll faggot. There is nothing raw about basketball. it is an extremely controlled game. One of which, you've obviously never played at any level of success.

Ah, do you feel better with the name calling now? I could understand where your misconception of the sport of basketball would come though. I only played in high school and a year in college and I was only better then average i would say.

Here is my question though since you seem to have no idea on which you are talking. Please explain how you suggest it is "extremely controlled" and how athletics have nothing to do with it. Yes it takes a ton of talent/skill to play at a high level, but with out athleticism you won't make it past JV in high school.

Perhaps with you next "come back" you could attempt to try and explain what you are suggesting here. I'm fine with name calling though, that is what most will resort to once they understand that their point is invalid and to argue it will only drag them down further.

LoL. Basketball players may be the most athletic people in the world. Athleticism does matter. It's not everything, but it does matter. Hard working guys like Mark Madsen didn't make it too far in the league. Spider Monkey has no clue what he's talking about.

i have a feeling that lebron """LAMES""" gonna be sad again this year...... OKC..FTMFW

While I'm pulling for OKC, I don't see James as being "lame" or anything of the such. He has been doing well this playoff season, his supporting cast has not came through in several games though.

i kno.. i just dont like him because of his decisions. he is talented not taking that away from him. BUT, i dont like him because he needs the 96' bulls to get a ring, thats my whole problem with him. and he is not clutch in big game situations. look at game 1 in the 2nd half. yes hes a beast in the first half of 95% of games but cant close in big games. i can almost see the history repeating it self like last year vs the mavs. hes been playing 8 yrs. i think durant IMO, is better then he is right now, like i said thats just IMO.

I don't know if anyone has told you, but "clutch" doesn't only apply to the 4th quarter. Lebron has been the most "clutch" player on his team, arguably in the whole playoffs.

im talking 2nd half period not 4th qt. if your refering to wade as most clutch.... na i like wade, but since hes been getting hit with injuries hes not as explosive as he was and settling for jump shots which to me hes not a shooting 2guard. not saying he cant shoot... and lebron. i liked lebron when he was in cleveland. yea the heat are good but the last year he was in cleveland i think they lost probly 24 games the entire season. that team was built around him, he had more control of that team then the front office lol. but leaves to play for the 96" bulls and still cant get one.

Raw skill?!? lmfao! Have you ever even played organized basketball? It is the most controlled sport on the planet besides baseball, which is even more stupid to watch.

I've played my whole life. Played year round from 5th grade through high school, went to AAU nationals twice and BCI nationals 6 times...still play in means leagues at all times. I'd say I have some experience, and I'll always say that the average NBA player is more skilled and athletic than any other average player in the major sports. The quickness, agility, speed, conditioning, etc involved, especially at the college and pro level, is greater than any major sport i can think of. Not to mention having to have the acute skill of effectively handling and shooting a basketball, which EVERYONE on a team has to be able to do.

Nice troll though brah.

Back on topic though, with the thunder taking a lose and the idea that they will win at least one on the road, I'm pretty happy that it will seem that I will get the chance to be at game 6 and/or 7.

The other part of the loss that helps, is that the heat played amazingly well all around. Yet in the end it was decided by an unfortunite miss and some uncharacteristic clutch free throws by James. Which means the Thunder have a huge chance to win more then one on the road.

Too much raw skill and athleticism, huh? Or are you just racist brah?!?

I enjoy sports that require high speed, skill and violent collisions that aren't called "fouls" (so gay). For example, football and hockey...specifically hockey. Now THAT is a sport worth givin' some fucks over bro...and most of the players are white. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

NBA is a bunch of thug gangstas bro...if they weren't gettin' paid millions they would either be in jail or dead. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Of course, same could be said for the NFL too.

Glad you said it, because I was going to after reading the first line of your post. Every sport has their thugs, wife abusers, drug addicts, etc...obviously some more than others. But there are also a ton of good guys in every sport as well.
