    Is that right? How so?

    Second question...who in the league currently that is on a similar level doesnt "fail"?

      Off the top of my head, the whole "Decision" show when he went to Miami. That was a complete joke.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        How much money did he make off that crap. Its all marketing, you are p issed at a guy for trying to cash in? I think it was a joke also but what does that have to do with what he can do with a ball and a basket?

          oh c'mon!!!

          nothing beat grabbing a sunday glob back in the day and reading the full page columns by the commish, gammons, and especially will. mookie really misses him (and that isn't written often).

            IIRC, LeBron has expressed hindsight regrets about "The Decision". Doesn't excuse it, but at least he acknowledges it was an attention grab.

              So that, which happened off the court makes him a doosh of a player but all of the good stuff he has done, again off the court, doesnt offset it in your mind? You do realize that while that was televised it is no different than what most superstars do behind the scenes right?

              So is your issue that he doesnt hide his ego then?

                he knows he is good. so what. it's not like lbj is a hog on the court feeding his ego. he goes out of his way to involve his teammates when he is out there. he passes up shots and passes to get them going. heck, people fault him for doing that crap.

                  The Decision was as a player. It may be off the court, but he was in a "player's" role. You're smarter than that.

                  I could also add the massive flops he performs during games, and yes, some other players do that too, and that's just embarrassing.

                  You may or may not think he's a doosh, and I do. *Shrug*

                  Edit: walrus: I never doubted his talent. I don't like his prima donna dooshy personality as a player.

                      A great sports writer doesn't need to have ever been a great athlete or even know how to put on a jockstrap, but Lupica for me is the lone "omfg what a weasel pencild**k" exception to the rule.
