Kobe / Lebron fans: Do you feel that the 2012 Heat title should be asterisked?

[pegasus]

Wait, you actually think the refs rigged a 33 point blowout? Are you that ****ing stupid?

You could have just said that you didn't watch the game.

East side, West side, North side, South /peg's breath is so bad, his butt

[Pursuer]

Not an argument for an asterisk, but just throwing this out there.

There hadn't been a playoffs yet, where teams had to play back-to-back games.

[Miller for 3]

Yes they should. Every team besides the Heat was crippled with injuries. do people really think the Heat win if Rose, Howard, Bradley, Granger, Foster, Horford, Lin, Shumpert, Davis, Douglas, Maynor, Noah, Allen, Deng, etc. don't get hurt? About 85% of the players in the playoffs were hurt, injured, or too tired from a lockout season. The Bobcats at full health would have steamrolled through the playoffs. If the WCF wasn't rigged the Spurs sweep the Heat. There were too many injuries and fixed games for this past season to count. I give it one big

So Chris Bosh just missed 9 games cause he wasn't injured, and Dwyane Wade got knee surgery for fun?

Quoted for emphasis.

Remember, there was a mysterious death at Bosh's house during the playoffs, and shortly after Bosh just happens to miss some games. Funny how there was never a real investigation or anything...... Wade getting his annual surgery isn't a big deal. If you really expected Wade not to get hurt you haven't been an NBA fan for long

Hmmm. The amount of games played during the regular season has changed over the years... it was less back in the 60s and 70s, and I'm guessing it will change again in the future.

They've played the same number of regular season games since the early 60's

should be asterisked?


it has been

it is

there is no opinion towards the matter.


do people even know what an asterisk is? it is a seperate column dedicated to pointing out a change or difference in something.


the nba keeps its records for lockout years with an asterisk in their official books. it says it on every single information website that those seasons were less to that of a real one ( i.e. less games, shortened )


there already is an asterisk.

change the thread title to "do you think there shouldn't be an asterisk. then it would make sense"

[Deuce Bigalow]

"Lebron, you can charge into people and get a blocking foul call from me everytime, alright? I also won't call you for hacking people's arms when they shoot."

Thought you'd be on page 1 honestly.

Not an asterisk that is used to indicate LeBron didn't leave it all on the court every night to earn that title. An asterisk to denote a shortened season maybe.

[Nash]

Notice how the biggest trolls and Lebron haters on this forum, kennethgriffin, ripthekik and miller for 3 are the only ones sharing the same retarded opinion.

[Psileas]

Why would a LeBron fan want to give the title an asterisk?
Knowing how the Heat, or, better, LeBron's team, were among the favorites to win it all, I doubt there were many even in the beginning of the season who would claim anything like this.

Maybe it would be better to say "Kobe fans and/or LeBron haters".

[InfiniteBaskets]

it's not the fact that they had the same shortened season as every other team. It's not the fact that they still had to win 16 games in the playoffs.

It's the fact that the season was 66 games starting in January. What other NBA seasons have games that are not 82? Yeah.. just a few since the merger. Since 66 is different from 82 games in the other 30+ years, it's different, therefore *

basically, just because it was DIFFERENT from the USUAL NBA REGULAR SEASON.

people are thinking the asterisk is to differentiate from the other teams in the 2012 season, no. There is no need to differentiate the heat.
What we need to differentiate is the 2012 season from the other regular seasons. Not that there is any negative connotation, but just to signify that there is a difference, and there is, by fact.




note- I'm not a kobe fan btw. I just believe in the asterisk.

You just put an asterisk on 23 NBA seasons. 5 of which the Lakers won a title in.
