Boston-Detroit. Nice. THIS will be a great series. I still get pissed watching LeBron play and get away with half a dozen 3-4 step moves every game. I mean seriously, they're obvious. And to top it off, he then gets a continuation "and one". I hate watching him play as much as I do the Spurs. 
That said, NO win tomorrow. It's nice to see the "Dynasty" teams in the conference finals (BOS-DET-LAL) together again. I guess if the Spurs win in, it would be official, but screw that, I want NO!
It's too bad the bet wimped out, I was eager to see Spizz's new avatar!!!

Yea my cavs lost, but all those things you said about Lebron aren't true. He is probably the best player in the game asides kobe that draw the contact and make it look so its in his favor and get the basket. He will still be King James and I'm sure he's gonna work on his game extensively this summer. I hope to see him in the Olympic Games. I understand you wanted boston to win and I give them tons of props because in a way they deserved it more, but I know Lebron is going to be dissapointed because he didn't get back to the conf. finals and the finals at least, he and the media will have a field day with this, skip bayless eat your heart out and take your cheap shots.

WHAT?!?! Are you fing blind?! I could have cared less if Boston won. Watch the replays, the damn commentators called a couple themselves after seeing replays! He is a market name, and they let things slide to make him look better, thus keeping people watching. The comparison to Kobe isn't even close. Kobe knows the 2.5 step rule
. LeBron is the worst I have ever seen at traveling. The uncalled travels......yet another reason I'm fading away from the NBA.....pdbrady;1802249; said:WHAT?!?! Are you fing blind?!

You are right. Kobe does know the 2.5 step rule. He always picks up the ball right before he takes his 1st step. Technically, it is 3 steps, but without replay, the average fan doesn't see it, and the refs let it go...
Go Lakers! I want the spurs to win. Easier victory

Not to mention how the league decides that they are going to "crack down" on the carry rule while dribbling, but really they just starting calling AI for traveling, when he really is just that good at ball-handling, meanwhile LeBron carries the ball all the time when he starts his drives, and comes around screens, and they just let that go...the whole nba is messed up. everyone travels. shaq, kobe, labron.it doesnt matter what your name is in the nba, you travel. i cant tell you how many times i have seen the pivot foot come up before dribbling the ball. or even how many times they change pivot feet. and what the heck is up with a player being allowed to hop 2-3 times on the way to the basket while holding the ball?!?!!? isnt that up and down/traveling? it also pisses me off while watching an offensive player slam his body into the defensive player as he backs towards the hoop. why is it that an offensive player can practically beat up the defensive player guarding him but as soon as the def player bumps back its a foul?!!!? its ridiculous. there is no real finese left in the game. no understanding of rules. refs betting on games. the nba is laughable entertainment in my opinion. with that said i still cheer on my hometown bucks even though they stink to high hell the last few yrs. and i am cheering for NO
iverson is a great balhandler probably the best next to jason williams, yes white chocolate has some serious handles..
Lebron is a freight train, but he doesnt have the foot work of a kobe or MJ cause he has a duck walk stride with both toes pointing out, unlike the pigeon toed stance of MJ and kobe..plus kobe has some serious handles as well so he can get to any spot on the floor he wants..

Wow, everyone was talking how good lebron was a week ago, now just because they lose in the semis he's not $$#@?!?!?! Come on! Lebron is better than almost any player in the game. If they had won last night I bet none of you all would be on his *** about traveling, yea he travels some times, so does EVERY player. Come on be real lebron is 10x better than some of the people you have mentioned. I mean Jason Williams COME ON. Were is he at in the playoffs....oh wait he can't even get his team a .500 season first!

Before you say "everyone" go back and check out my posts.
I'm not saying he's a bad player or anything, but, he does carry the ball. If you watch him it's not hard to see, lots of players do, but the high profile guys will get the most pub from it.
BTW, he wasn't saying that J-Will is an all star, he was just refering to his handle's, and the guy can handle a ball.
