NBA Finals game 7 (OTC Edition)

[RedBlackAttack]

what's he saying specifically?
He has noted several times that he now has more rings than Shaq. When asked what this championship means personally in the presser, he said, "it means that I now have more titles than Shaq."

Now, if you were just reading this, you may think that he was saying it in jest, but that isn't the way it came off at all. He didn't even crack a smile or add anything else that might make it seem like he was messing around.

It really does seem as though he was being completely honest and that is the reason why it means so much to him... Shocking response.

[I am that I am]

Meh, Shaq could always play the 3 championships as the main man card... Kobe still only has 2 as the main man.
When Kobe wins his 3rd without Shaq next season will the haters shut up about "rings with shaq not counting" or will they go into "Pau Gasol carried him to those 3 titles" mode

[RedBlackAttack]

I notice that much of the OTC are blatant laker haters-strange
Like who? I don't hate the Lakers and I don't think that the majority of the OTC are 'Laker haters.' :confusedshrug:

sergio, shut the f*ck up. do you honestly believe he is a top 10 player after this finals performance? the stage was set, and he fell flat on his face. a lot of people were hating on bron for the way he played against the celtics, but it should be noted that even when he "gave up", he played leaps and bounds better than kobe did tonight.

kobe has the best team in the league, he should be winning. pau has not carried him, but it seems to me you're minimising his role.

[StroShow4]

So this "I am that I am" fellow is Sergio? Thanks for letting me know, I won't be paying attention to his posts anymore.

[InspiredLebowski]

Ron Artest with a championship ring disgusts me. I don't care if he was a "young guy with some mental problems" that "got some help" or "grew up." **** him.

Good to know. I thought he was IP banned? It isn't difficult to get around that, but maybe Jeff can nip this username in the bud?

it's pretty obvious. that ridiculous samoan thread he started included a reference to michael essien (chelsea football player), which is trademark bruinlove

I don't like Ron very much either, but I'm still laughing about how he thanked his psychiatrist. What a nutjob.

[hayden695]

I think its great. Other than the thing we shall not speak of, he seems like a really nice guy. I remember when he gave a phone number out to fans to text him. That is cool as shit in my books, even if it might not be him answering them:lol

[RedBlackAttack]

That may have been my favorite moment of the entire NBA season... Maybe my favorite moment of all-time.

Totally awesome.

[InspiredLebowski]

Dude started the whole brawl, gets suspended for the year. Bird, being the loyalist to a fault that he is, stands behind him. Remember the SI cover? Then he asks for time off to make an album. Then he demands a trade. I repeat, **** him.

[PowerGlove]

Sergio is one sad individual.

I remember OneMoreSucka was doing that Justintv thing and one day he was just sitting on his bed cuddling with some b*tch and this dude was in there commenting on it like crazy.

I did one of these....

He just made up for all of that other stuff.

That Abe Simpson gif is one of the greatest things to ever happen to the internet.

Ok I guess you have reason to dislike him. Still he is one of my favourite personalities in the league. I hate how he plays though, seems like a rhino on rollerskates.

[playtetris]

whilst i love artest, i can see why a dyed in the wool pacers fan like IL would dislike him. to me, though, he's great; i love his passion, his ridiculous interviews, his idiosyncracies, his defence. one of the most entertaining players in the league, along with joakim noah.

[I am that I am]

Like who? I don't hate the Lakers and I don't think that the majority of the OTC are 'Laker haters.' :confusedshrug:
Yes you do, you just dont admit it, just like stroshow

I'm happy for him for getting his head straight, honestly. He has/had legitimate problems. I don't wish ill will upon him as a person or anything. Professionally though, I'll never get over the trade demand.

[RedBlackAttack]

Yes you do, you just dont admit it, just like stroshow
I was just notified that you are Sergio ie Bruinlove.

I will be ignoring your posts henceforth.

Thanks and goodnight.

[StroShow4]

If Ron Artest was officiated like other players he'd foul out of every game. Offensively he's always trying to run someone over, and defensively he's always holding, hacking, grabbing, etc. It's annoying, but that's not really why I don't like him, that just makes me mad at the refs.

Thanks for finally admitting you're a laker hater. good bye and good night

[playtetris]

:lol i can see why you'd dislike noah :oldlol:

i'm referring to his persona, more than his game. i intensely dislike the supremely media trained personalities in the league like lebron, wade, etc (love their games though). anyone who speaks their mind to the extent that noah does is alright by me.

answer my question. kobe = top 10?

Dude gets away with murder and this goes way back. I dont get it, no one else is allowed to play that way unless they want an all expenses paid trip back to the bench.

His aggravated assault of Kevin Durant was terrible.

I don't mind that type of play as long as everyone can, not just one guy.

I can't believe how good he played tonight compared to earlier in the PO's.

[B-Low]

ah Bruinlove! long time no see. How many names have you had on here? (honest question, it's gotta be close to 10 now

Bruce Bowen got away with the same type of sh!t. Guys that gain a reputation as a great defensive stopper get away with lots of fouling.

[plowking]

Garnett gets away with more than Artest.

[hayden695]

Garnett gets away with more than Artest.
Lots of Garnetts are more subtle though.

Whereas Artest, like I said earlier, is like a rhino on rollerskates on O. And grabs and hacks like few others on D.

Why the hell'd Bill Russell hand Kobe the Finals MVP? Hannah Storm should've worn a shorter skirt.

Because it is the Bill Russell trophy? How bad would that look if he just pouted and didn't give it to him because "his" team lost.

[StroShow4]

I felt kind of bad for Russell when the LA fans booed him. I know he was a Celtic and he beat up on the Lakers way back in the day, but he's about to hand the trophy over to a Laker, let him off the hook. He's an old man now, no need to disrespect.

[InspiredLebowski]

Honestly didn't even know the FMVP had a name. Has he always been there to do the hand-off? Guy seems like a bit of a media whore ever since the Celtics got back into contention honestly.

I bet they didnt even know who he is.

I'm going to sleep, but I'd like to mention that this thread was kind of nice. I was able to say what was on my mind without 50 trolls coming after me.

There does come a point when fans need to set aside the petty stuff and give respect due to a man like Russell. He may not be around much longer and he did a lot to help push the NBA to where it is today.

That was just plain dumb.

[artex]

I bet they didnt even know who he is.

Okay

[PowerGlove]

Okay
We are talking about the people in staples that show up in laker gear, not real fans like yourself.

[Lamar Doom]

beside myself. I care as much as anyone I know, I see every game and frequently plan my week around our schedule. My body was so f*cking tense all day, feels like I just sneezed, came, yawned, and had a massage... release. Horrifying, ugly, and yet a great finale.

Extra hard to be a part of this website and be a laker fan too, both because some of the fellow laker fans are so annoying and because it's just a constant labored effort to be "one of the good ones". Can barely praise my favorite team without being called a homer or kobe fanboy or whatever else is automatically attached to Laker fans here. Definitely a little extra sweet to put up with all the shit and now know so many of you f*ckers are miserable because we won. Soak in that agony c*ck heads. Great season celts, great season NBA.

I'm heading down town, gonna turn over a subaru.

[Jackass18]

Duke wins the NCAA title and now the Lakers win the NBA title. I hate basketball. Jesus, what's next, the Cowboys winning the SB?

[pete's montreux]

I still bleed green.

oh yeah, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P19K0ooa2IU&feature=channel hahahaah, hardest i've laughed at charlie in a while, totally outrageous

[Fallguy20]

oh jeez, that poor guy... I think it would of cut me deep to see the youtube vid had the Lakers lost.

[chazzy]

He can go hard at Shaq all he wants, that ungrateful bastard. Dude carried your afro puff ass to three of "your five" titles and you want to talk shit about him especially after you snitched on him during your police investigation. Dirty.

Says a lot about who he really is.

Are you serious? He's actually done a good job of keeping his mouth shut in recent years about it, and all he said today was "1 more than Shaq, put that in the bank!" Not even close to this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lQW-FWMcBo

I was expecting better discussion in the OTC thread, but there was just as much whining. Oh well

[playtetris]

[rufuspaul]

Well I was pulling hard for the Celtics and at least they kept it interesting. Congrats to the Lakers on a hard fought win and championship. I especially like that it came down to defense and rebounding (fundamentals ftw!).

Ron Artest is insane btw. At least he thanked his shrink.

Are you seriously comparing the two?

Shaq was at a nightclub just joking around, how can you not tell?

Kobe was stonefaced when he said that like its really been eating him up or something and that is after all the talk about how he put it behind him and how he's matured so much but then he reverts to his old self and reveals that he has still kept this childish grudge in mind.

Go Cavs!!!!!!!!

[Jailblazers7]

I slept out all the hatred (mainly for Pau not the Lakers) and congrats to the team and their fans. They have put a great squad together over the last couple of years and everyone expected them to repeat. That makes it pretty impressive that they did with those kind of expectations and pressure looming over them.

Kobe deserved the Finals MVP. Sure he played awful in game 7 but so did everyone else for the most part. He is magic in game 5 and lead his team throughout the entire series. The Celtics did a great job of forcing him into difficult shots all series but he still managed to score and lead his team to the title. If anyone else deserved it, it would have to be Pau. But if Pau won it I would probably have to make a bomb in my bathroom, strap it to my chest, and detonate it in downtown Los Angeles.

[Dniknam]

Great series...props to both team....bit of a shame that boston lost the player that got them there, but they did the best they could and so did la.

phil jackson is trying to play that bullshit "i might take time off", he just wants to see if a super team will build up during free agency first.

He was smiling.. how was it any MORE childish that Shaq's rap? They were both jokes, and Kobe didn't even INSULT Shaq the way he did. Not a big deal at all

"I got 1 more than Shaq, take that to the bank"

"Last week Kobe couldn't do it without me. N1gga, Kobe, tell me how my ass taste! Ratted me out and I got a divorce"

But Kobe's is worse.. ok.
