I can barely get over the headline. Wade, Bosh, and Allen were nobodies?

It's hilarious that they crosspost Onion sports and yet actual articles outdo them.

After game 3 I think they will say that LeBron could justifiably murder the rest of his team and no jury would convict him.

per everyone's favorite trans blogger.... if beer spills on your sweatshirt it is ruined.... i guess washing machines and stain removers no longer are effective on today's light beers

You see, Michael Jordan was black, sure, but LeBron is, like, black black. You think Jordan is better? That can only mean you hate all black people. And that's okay!

He'll go to Philly or somewhere this offseason, the media will declare that LeBron finally has The Help He Needs, but a year from now we'll hear the same excuses we hear every year. He can never be the problem.

Bumping this thread for when shit gets good.

Is this two or three metaphors in the same sentence?



Uninspired, bad and boring basketball is Actually Good!

It's like the author didn't watch the WCF.

Every basketball fan knew this Cavs team was trash. The difference between GS and the rest of the league was shown in the WCF, not the Finals.

Hm lets guess which media outlet will believe LePunch's bullshit story and call anyone who doubts him on The Wrong Side of History?

The best part is they don't really mean this. I'm sure everyone there came into April telling us how this was set to be one of the best NBA postseasons in years, with so many compelling storylines like the rise of Toronto and Philadelphia in the East, Utah in the West, Houston and not Golden State as the favorite, LeBron the Fearless Black Entrepreneur rebuilding his own roster like a real GM. Then there were some hiccups along the way: "now look, fellas, just because we're on track for Cavs-Warriors again doesn't mean we'll get it, and even if we do, consider that at many points we could have gotten something else! Indiana took them to seven! See? There's no formality here, and if there is, it's Actually Good!" Now apparently we knew all along that nothing mattered? lol, no, get fucked, you're just having a big baby temper tantrum because people you don't like live in San Francisco. That's it. If LeBron won three out of four Finals, you'd be on the front lines telling the world how it's actually Not Boring at all and if you think so, you hate all black people. All Deadspin is really capable of at this point, outside of David Roth, is the inside-baseball bitching of people who work at one publication versus those who work at another, the good yuppies who live in New York versus the bad yuppies who live in San Francisco, and that's what Warriors games are a staging area for, and they're very mad that their side lost.

hey anyone know WHY Tristan Thompson is on the Cavs?

its Nov9th all over again in the Gawkersphere

Black people seem particularly invested in LeBron's greatest-of-all-time status, as if the only thing standing between LeBron and that immortality were Bob Cousy. It's such a strange phenomenon, but even I can't deny that Jordan was so great that he did what no one is supposed to be able to do and transcended race. LeBron, though, is fuckin' black.

_________________

Specifically the type of black people who say Cleveland is a racist city that doesnt deserve LeBron...despite Cleveland being literally 50% black.

Yeah I think you guys are right. I mean you've been linking articles broadcasting Lebron's greatness for 2 weeks now written by white people, but it's the blacks who are spearheading this Lebron GOAT narrative.

_________________

As Bernstein was fond of pointing out out over the summer of 2010, Jordan smartly moved past The Community when he came to Chicago and spent a lot of time making friends on the golf courses of the North Shore, while LeBron still entrusts lots of his business decisions to his idiot friends from Akron.

Also worth pointing out is that the Jordan narrative, one of practicing incessantly and relentlessly pushing himself to be better, is one we usually ascribe to white players. Meanwhile, LeBron is the ultimate LOOK AT HIS BODY Big Black Stud. Of course, both players have surely practiced their asses off and were/are both fantastic athletes, but the belief is that Jordan constantly willed himself into being while LeBron is innately a physical freak and just steamrolls people without having to work particularly hard at it.

Check out LeBron's Instagram. He loooooves showing people how hard he works in the off-season.

Please tell me where your obsession with Lebron as some nubian God came from (Don't cop out to blaming Bernstein).

It's the gayest thing on this board, and using it in a repetitive nature like you have been is... Well whatever. Do your thing.

And your last paragraph is bullshit.

From the comments:



It's really difficult to teach doctors to not film their patients unawares during major surgery, apparently.

I used to watch the NBA and was a big time Bulls fan. But no more. The league itself has done it to themselves when it allowed a very few players determine who is going to win a championship. Frankly, I don't understand how someone can be a fan of the majority of the NBA teams when the deck is absolutely stacked against them and they have no chance of winning a title. This shit all really started with the "DECISION" and has gotten worse since.

You seem unaware that there is a school of writing that uses Beyonce and LeBron as totems for a certain type of social agenda rather than treating them simply as the entertainers they actually are. Don't get chippy because CH is more plugged into to the zeitgeist than you are.
