@autyelmore was listening to yesterdays show I think it was on this morning on iHeart and yall were talking about Reds Killers. Instantly my mind went to Bill Hall. We called him that for years. Looked it up. 50 pts higher avg, .936 OPS, almost 20% of his career HR’s lol
I have my problems with Pope, but listening to these UofL talking heads make fun of him while their coach sits over there with zero, I repeat zero, Top 20 wins and 1 tournament win. GTFOH
I say this frequently: most all-time players are lucky in the teammates they have. Jordan had nothing to do with the acquisition of Pippen. He's lucky Krause found him. LeBron's Cavs didn't find him a Pippen, so he went out and found his own. The hate he gets for that is weird.
Tim MacMahon says LeBron would also not win without Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis in response to Rich Paul:
“If you unplug Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, LeBron doesn’t win titles there. If you unplug Kyrie from the Cavaliers, they don’t come back 3-1. If you unplug Anthony Davis from the bubble Lakers, they don’t win a championship.”
Buddy, this Game 7 is going to hit like GS/OKC in 2016. Defending champs taken to the limit after a historical season. Biggest threat to the brewing dynasty trying to turn their own potential into reality. Wemby switching sides if they lose. Wait how did that get in there.
It’s not even about SGA tho everyone is making it about him. Stars get calls. Thats fine. It’s about their ENTIRE team flopping for calls. It is a game long, start to finish, deliberate and relentless pursuit of deceiving the refs. Offense, defense, loose balls. All game long.
All the SGA slander has become corny. He finished fourth in free throw attempts per game on a team that was 17th. He's as close to a throwback player as you get: a (mostly) inside the three-point line scorer who can beat you a bunch of ways. He gets calls, yes. Gets fouled, too.
No GOAT in any sport has the most of nothing:
Most Rings: Russell
Most Valuable in Most Finals: Russell
Most Finals : Russell
Most MVPs: Kareem
Most Playoff Wins: LeBron
Most Career Wins: LeBron
Most Points: LeBron
Most Playoff Points: LeBron
Most Assists: Stockton
Most Playoff Assists: Magic
Most Rebounds, Most All NBA, Most All Defense …. MJ has none of it.
The irony is that Rob just gave a public interview yesterday saying the organization wants to "honor" LeBron and wait for his decision. Then 12 hours later, this article drops saying LeBron feels taken for granted? huh?
Dave knows exactly which buttons to push to get Lakers/LeBron fc into a frenzy, engagement bait 101
The idea that this specific moment (a game ball after a regular season win) is the "breaking point" after nearly a decade in LA feels like a reach
It sounds like Dave is trying to plant the seeds for a "LeBron vs FO" narrative for the offseason even after an objectively successful season. If LeBron didn't say it, and JJ didn't say it, it's just noise
Terry Francona on not hitting for Ke’Bryan Hayes in the fourth inning:
“If we start a guy, and start hitting for him in the third or fourth inning….we probably shouldn’t have played him.”
#Reds
At some point you stop being unlucky, and just fucking suck. The guy has never been good. The “gold glover” has a -1 OAA in the field. There is ZERO justification for him being in the lineup other than the dumbasses traded for him and owe him millions lol
