Taj Gibson on LeBron James after Game 3

[QUOTE=Rose'sACL]all these comments in this thread have been replying to Swish's comment that everyone was scared to say anything to MJ when it wasn't true.
Thankfully, 90s were the best times. Just enough media to make you famous but not enough to keep bringing skeletons out of your closet.

MJ's extracurricular activities would be reported everyday if he played now. Camera phones plus social media and internet will mean that no parent will tell his child to be like mike. Horace grant himself said that he is thankful that camera phones weren't there in the 90s otherwise bulls would have caught some major shit.[/QUOTE]
It works both ways though, today's mega-stars have media writing stuff about them everyday, som of that stuff is ridiculously made up to portray the athlete on a certain way that will appeal the public. It makes the sport more popular I guess but sports personalities are disappointing for the most part so the more you know about them the more you hate them/ don't care about them, unless you are some obsessed fan like pauk, 3ball or Lebron23.

most sports stars don't have much good going on off the court so it is not a good thing that internet has so many independent voices that are not scared to write stuff unlike TV and newspaper reporters which can be pressured to say somethings they don't want to.

[QUOTE=mehyaM24]nobody asked about your feelings. under jordan fans line of thinking, did he punk out against parish/cartwright or not? simple question.[/QUOTE]
There you go, didn't even touch the Marion/Terry/James incident :oldlol:

I'll just use your same tactic and ignore shit (even though I don't really care but you're not actually interested in a intellectually honest back and forth since you're so shook)

first of all, i originally brought up jordan to counter what some of your ilk thought was "beta".

so i'll ask again: under your line of thinking, does jordan backing away from 2 fights in practice, with no cameras, not constitute as bitching out?

just answer the question lol

I have never said that MJ had everyone in the league scared though :confusedshrug:

All I've said on this matter is that MJ has never BEEN PUNKED IN A HIGH PROFILE GAME LIKE LEBRON WAS IN 2011, where he let two role players talk shit to his face.

Look at my previous posts, I know there were plenty of dudes who got in MJ's face, I saw those games :confusedshrug:

You mix something that happened behind closed doors (I've never critisized LBJ on anything he's done in private, nor any other player in fact because it's hear say) with what happens in game. I only focus on their on court performance.

Whatever, keep LeStanning :lol

so basically, you want to exploit all of lebron's short comings, but brush off and play coy to jordan's - as if what happened in practice is now private? this has been common knowledge for YEARS, so your point doesn't even make sense.

i find this ironic coming from a jordan mythologist & now apparently a master 'deflectionist'. :oldlol:

Why do people conveniently forget Jordan's game 5 in the 1989 ECF?

He had his very own "quit" game as well, yet you rarely, if ever, hear about it.

Yeah started to post it too, but last time I did every one abandoned the thread. Mj isn't without his moments too fellas, just wasn't reported on an every step basis as a guy like lebron is today.

Taj is a Witness.

to his team losing a series while lebron shot 46% TS with 5 turnovers per game?

A Win is a Win. Kobe only shoot 40% in the 2010 NBA Finals.

he actually shot 41%, 32% from 3 and 53% TS..

while Lebron.. 40%, 11% from 3 and 46% TS..

Butler always played some good defense on LeBron. And the Bulls are the best defensive team in this year's playoffs.

26/11/8 though

Not like it was a great series for LeBron scoring wise, but he handled the boards over the bulls frontcourt and made a lot of excellent passes. It's not as if Kobe's 2010 finals is statistically better though unless you're only counting TS

29/8/4 on 53 TS% vs 26/11/9 on 46 TS% and 5 TOs/g... nothing to really brag about

GS had the best defense in the league. Memphis, Washington, Atlanta, and Houston are all ranked higher as well.. Bulls were 11th
