James was without a doubt the most influential and most outstanding player in the series, and would have made for a very deserving MVP. But Scocca’s argument is disingenuous. It’s as bad and lazy as that of a baseball writer pointing to crap stats like Runs, RBI, and pitcher Wins.

I think people seem to forget that Jordan was the primary cog in the NBA machine post Larry & Magic. For whatever reason, the League doesn’t treat LeBron as much like royalty as it did Michael. Dude could get a foul call anytime he needed one. (Or — ahem — a no-call on an obvious offensive foul).

whatever you do, don’t bring up that jerry seinfeld may have had a point.

I think the Wilt Chamberlain comparison is actually really apt, for a lot of reasons. Wilt put up crazy stats, and yet the majority of people still think Jordan is a better player, for myriad reasons. LeBron is probably the most gifted physical specimen the NBA has ever produced, but I’m not sure he can harness his…

The only counterargument to LeBron getting the MVP that I can live with is this: If the Cavs weren’t so thinned out by injury, LeBron wouldn’t have put up these gaudy numbers.

Awesome article. Some players are undefeated in championship series and they are immortal. The mere mortals, simply get there and fail more often than not.

Pretentious hipster bullpucky. There is no shame in getting paid for you work. If artists want to make some cash leasing their music out to advertisements, then more power to them.

Otherwise known as, You’re telling an interesting story but look at me, LOOK AT ME technique.

Using the wrong words!! The travesty! Your hated is warranted sir!

Haha yes that was an epic moment in coach-freaking-out history and I did misinterpret your comment. Due to being in the gray, I couldn’t tell that you had linked to a video showing a berserk, irate skipper freaking out so wonderfully and creatively that he is deserving of a medal and a bronze statue.

that kind of thinking isnt going to get you any clicks, my friend.

I think it is a justified interpretation, but I don’t think it’s clear, partially because it’s such a weird situation. I mean, to me, yeah it does seem partially like that but the delay between landing and starting to slouch over the Kiwi player makes it seem really perfectly timed and even after he catched his…

Agreed. My initial thought was, “If he wants to stall, why would he block the ball in the first place?” Letting it go over his head would be the natural instinct for a coach who was looking to have some time run off the clock.

Yep, that’s a bad call. He happened to be where the ball was sent, and it was very much out of bounds anyway. That wasn’t exactly Tomlin attempting to trip Jacoby Jones.

Your mind is intact, my friend.

I’ll flex my biceps and invite people to watch the “Gun show” while I cut down a tree with an ax and my bare hands. I’ll ride a swimming moose and drink an entire beer in one guzzle. I’ll carry a brown leather wallet in my right back pocket. I’ll get REALLY FRIGGIN ANGRY when someone says my bag is a purse and…

In my experience if you only find trash its because you are looking for trash. Maybe you should work on yourself.

I know it sounds harsh, but I mean it with the best of intentions.

Oh, some of it is definitely great! But most of it’s not. Or at least, isn’t great for moving multiple times, because the particle board cracks really easily and strips out the screws

Spent alot of time on this one. Hope you like it.

I put a huge watermark this time because I’m sick of people ripping and taking credit for my videos.

"It's how I outdrive any SUV in the snow in a civic."

... Because that sounds like safe driving... Why in the heck would you be trying to outdrive something?

I am now having disturbing winter imagery of an SI on low-profiles tailgating SUVs in the snow... maybe even with the steering wheel off and being held out the…
