Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

Nets Fans, Show Us Your LeBron!

New York Daily News

In the off-season, thoughts turn to the future. For Nets fans, that means new arena(s), new coach, two first round draft picks, free agency and oh yeah, that (really, really rich) owner who may be the most interesting man in the world.

For Knick fans, not so much new. Old arena, old coach, no guaranteed first round picks through sometime later this century, and that (crotchedy) old owner who is, well, not so interesting and hasn't been seen much lately...probably a good thing.

The Daily News is helping them through this hoops hangover with a thoroughly bizarre front page (!) promotion. The Knicks are getting LeBron, you see. So the News is asking  Knick fans to photoshop LeBron James into various New York locations, starting with Madison Square Garden.  There's LeBron in the subway (yeah, that'll happen), LeBron at the Carnegie Deli, LeBron here, LeBron there, everywhere a LeBron...well, everywhere but Brooklyn, that is.

So we call on Nets fans to show LeBron in locations outside Manhattan.  We have some suggestions of our own:  LeBron in the Prudential Center, Barclays Center, perhaps with John Wall, maybe in Mikhail Prokhrov's Gulfstream V...screw the subway!  No need for pictures of LeBron with Jay-Z.  That's taken care of.  And please, some decorum.

Ammo

All the Daily News has succeeded in doing with this, is providing ammunition; more cannon fodder for more jokes at the Knicks expense after they’ve put their fans through another un-successful “rebuilding” phase. When LeBron doesn’t sign with the Knicks, these images will be plastered all over the place.

It's all relative...

But no, it’s hard to imagine another team in such a geographical setting and with such a large fan-base being handled any worse over the last decade.

Just read that article

That has to be the most ridiculous NY/LeBron article I have ever read. D’antoni the best offensive coach of our generation??? What the hell does that have to do with WINNING…championships in this leauge are won with DEFENSE and D’antoni will NEVER win a ring in this league. LeBron isn’t stupid, and he knows the Knicks are a joke there isn’t a chance he signs with them. If the Nets were in Brooklyn NEXT season they would be far ahead of the knicks when referring to the chance of luring him out of Cleveland.

Photoshop

I am an artist and I work with photoshop for a living… but I wouldn’t be caught dead putting Lebron in a Nets uniform. He is a snotty little punk(no hand shaking, gatoraid into the stands, being an a-hole to the towel boy, etc etc,) and I would hate to see an immature player like that on my team.

I think Ill work on my Russian billionaire caricature…

LeBron is a horrible guy, ive seen it up close to. Would not root for him regardless of where he plays.

Lebron is a jerk...

…so is Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant, his predecessors. Would you have balked at the idea of those players being Nets?

the kid could toss kittens off of a roof for leisure for all i care, I would kill to have him in a Nets uniform.

funny.

I would take Jordan, but not Kobe(refusing to play for the Hornets. Anyone who refuses to play for a team I hate right off the bat.). Jordan was never a jerk, annoying yes, jerk no. There is a difference between trash talking and bragging, and not shaking hands… with your good friends no less.

Its interesting though, because most of MJ’s faults in jerk status come off the court. I really only have an issue with basketball related things, since I usually root for a player, not a person. I do love it when I can root for both though, like a player like Grant Hill or Vince Carter. David Robinson, another great example.

by Tim823 on May 10, 2010 12:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

hilarious.

How did you come to the conclusion that Michael Jordan was not or is not a jerk? Because you like him better than Kobe or Lebron?

There is documentation and first hand accounts that paint of picture of Jordan that can be considered even darker than Bryant or James. But if you want to keep it on court, what makes Jordan so much better than them?

Not wanting a player on a team because he embarrassed a ball boy, or told his mother to sit down and shut up because she was making an ass out of herself, is just silly.

Kobe makes a mean face on the court when he gets intense. I guess that means that he’s not fit to play for the Nets. I’m sure when Rod is thinking about who to offer a max contract to this summer, on the top of his check list read “Must be a nice guy”. Pffffffthahahah.

Dwayne Wade allegedly cheated on the mother of his children and gave her an STD. I guess we need to cross him off of the list

...

When you go see Kobe, Wade or MJ play and your sitting in the stands, you don’t have to worry about them losing their tempers and throwing something at you! The only thing you need to worry about is if you have your camera ready when Wade jumps on the scorers table and screams “this is my house!” The interesting thing, is besides the towel boy incident, all those other things happened IN CLEVELAND! Its hysterical watching the reactions of the woman and children(literally) wearing his jersey as he throws things at them! Flinching in pure fear as this gigantic man loses his temper.

I totally understand when players have off the court issues. Hell, if I judged any celeb or musicians “off the court” antics I wouldn’t like anyone. Michael Jackson is the weirdest man to ever walk the planet, but he could sing. I totally understand that. Every problem I have ever had with Lebron has been basketball related. On the court. I could care less if he signed this deal or that deal before he entered the league, but when you fake throwing a ball at a woman in the front row, an inch form her face, that’s just classless. MJ was able to put all of the off court crap to rest and concentrate on the game, Lebron is too worried about doing a “cool” pre game pose instead of winning and getting his teammates involved.

by Tim823 on May 10, 2010 12:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

dude...

…everything you’re writing about does not stem from rationality, but your own emotions that are telling you that you don’t like Lebron James. That’s fine, but your reasoning behind not wanting him in a Nets uniform is just flawed and flat out ridiculous.

I’ve been to several Cavs/Nets contests over the past few years, two instances of which where I’ve been within shouting distance of the man. I’ve never felt threatened. And the fake chest pass…so what? I’ve done to that to people before in jest. I’m sure James did not do that with malicious intent like you’re trying to spin it as. You’re acting like he not only faked the chest pass at the woman’s face, but then also dragged her to the back and had his with with her Big Ben style. Come on now.

And on court, James plays hard, so pre game theatrics mean nothing(plus, the fans love it. He’s an entertainer first and foremost, or have you forgotten?) and James is a good passer, so trying to paint him as a ball hog is dishonest.

I’m not even a fan of Lebron’s but sheesh, I hate seeing this kind of crap. This ranks up there with the guy who claims that lebron is faking his injuries due to some type of illuminati conspiracy

"No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on...I will be sitting on it."

by MrDollarBills on May 10, 2010 1:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

Huh

You keep saying that its not rational but my emotions? Like I feel like he did all these things? I saw them with my own eyes! No other player has a video montage of him doing on court things like this.

You have fakes a pass to someone point blank range? Shocking. Ever get it done to you? Didn’t you just LOVE it when it happened to you!?

I don’t think Lebron is faking his injuries either.

And the passing comment. I don’t give one crap about someones assists number that they accumulate throughout the first 40 minutes of a game. I care about the last 8 minutes of a close game, where he holds the ball, runs the clock down, and shoots… every single possession.

by Tim823 on May 10, 2010 1:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

well...

…yes, someone faked a pass at my face before, and I laughed at it because I got faked out. You’re acting like he wanted to hurt this woman, just stop it bro. It’s not prudent to do that to a fan because you never know when someone will overreact, like you are doing, but it’s not like he did something bad.

If you have a problem with Lebron taking the last shots to close out a game, which a superstar player is supposed to do, take that up with Mike Brown.

by MrDollarBills on May 10, 2010 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

no

no I don’t have a problem at ALL with that, but I have a problem with him stopping the movement and team work of the ball for such long periods of time. He just stands there and shoots fadeaways. GREAT when they go in, but if they don’t… well. He literally just hunches over and watches the clock for a bit. That’s the kind of thing I expect for the last minute, not the last few minutes. Watch the NBA on TNT post game some times, you can hear the best to ever play complain about the same thing.

And about the ball in the face, no one enjoys it, especially a paying fan. Danny Ainge was wrong for the towel throw as well, because he is a professional, not a fan doing it to another fan. Lebron gets paid millions, he has no business doing that to that woman.

Wow. Just wow.

This is why I brought up the word “emotional”. Nothing that you have written in this thread has even so much as a shred of rationality to it. Not one iota.

You probably can’t even name half the players on the roster that he carried on his back to the NBA Finals against a Spurs team that was in their prime, but yet, he should won already. Hilarious bro

OK… so 9 turnovers?

Here is what I have realized Lebrons problem is. Whats the diff between him and Rondo(ill use Rondo since he just beat Lebron)?? They both bring the ball up… they both get assists…. BUT the problem you saw, is that Rondo controls the game FLOW. Lebron just controls the ball.

You still want him on the Nets?

by Tim823 on May 13, 2010 11:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Olympics

I must also add, a lot of this could be due to the coach. Mike Brown is a pushover. I loved Lebron in 08 in the Olympics. He wasn’t holding the ball(even in the few close games). He was literally using every ounce of his athleticism. He was pushing the ball every possession. Charles Barkley is dead on, that team they have should be running more, but they are a half court team. Is that Lebron? is that Brown? I don’t know.

Although I think he should be mature enough to not do those antics he does, I don’t think he should be responsible for knowing how to be a fast paced full court team. Thats the coach.

by Tim823 on May 10, 2010 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

Are you talking about

When he was hacked and no foul was called, and he was upset by it? When he went back to the bench he flipped the gatorade holder?

How is that “throwing at fans”.

You are ridiculous, and incredibly hypocritical. And this statement is laughable: “Lebron is too worried about doing a "cool" pre game pose instead of winning and getting his teammates involved.”

I suppose that’s why they had the best record in the NBA this season?

You poor thing. I guess the team with the best record gets to hold the trophy?

Look at the 08-09 standings. Guess what team had the best record!?

Sorry, I should have clarified, when I say winning(or anyone in sports, any coach, and player) I mean winning…it all.

by Tim823 on May 10, 2010 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Laughable

So your knock on Lebron’s ability to lead a team is that because “he” (I assume you think he plays alone) got the team to the best record in the NBA, and 2 wins from getting to the NBA Finals, that he sucks.

Your posts lack serious thought or intelligence. I’m going to just let you wallow in your personal purgatory.

One trend of people who have nothing much else to say is name calling. I want a championship. The best do. It means nothing to the Mavericks to have the best record in the NBA to lose to the Heat, trust me. NOTHING. They are viewed as a complete failure. “the real season starts now.” Ever hear that? Ever hear about how organizations assemble teams for long runs in the playoffs? Ever hear about the greats talking about Lebron compared to Jordan in the topic of “lets see the rings first?” Kidd got the Nets to 2 finals. Although that may be nice for us fans, the Nets as an organization are known as a team who cant get it done, cant win the trophy. They are known as a team who simply “almost” got there twice.

If you want a put a team together that almost wins that’s one thing…

as a “complete failure”? Sounds like your opinion.

by Net Income on May 10, 2010 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

You too?

Do you watch the NBA? Do any of you? They have said it ever since they lost to Miami. Miami rolls off consecutive wins to the championship on the best team in the league, according to all here who go by reg season records. As well, every time “they” mention the Mavs as a “complete failure” they always mention the series with the Warriors in addition to the Heat “fiasco.”

I guess if you don’t cite and present video evidence of quotes and happenings its just opinion.

I regularly watch PTI, Around the Horn, all of TNT, All of NBA TV, etc. Not my opinion. I happen to like wins even without a championship. I enjoyed every single win last year. I was jumping out of my seat for win #10 in a season.

by Tim823 on May 10, 2010 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

There's your problem dude

PTI/Around the Horn/pretty much all of ESPN’s broadcasting is just sensationalism. They overreact to every story as ratings ploys I doubt most fans pay any attention to what they say. I respect TNT, I haven’t seen much of NBAtv, much more than ESPN but to a point they do the same thing. But they do it for ratings not because there’s actually any truth behind it. I seriously doubt any of them actually believe that if you don’t win a championship you’re entire season/career is an absolute failure, they probably realize how much luck is involved with having healthy players (the right officials) and players getting hot at the right times. In an 82 game season there’s really no way to say for certain that a bunch of 7 games series is absolutely the only way to judge who the best team is, it’s just who’s the best team for that month.

I wonder if Carl Everett believes Jamie Moyer exists.

No

First of all, I love how everyone thinks that I am part of that school of thought. No, I think the 03 Nets were the greatest thing since sliced bread, even if they didn’t win it all. I have never had so much fun. Secondly, I don’t think PTI/Around the Horn sensationalize. In fact, if you listen to them, most of the time they debate the two sides. They bring up examples of people who say over the top things like a team is a failure. That’s the whole point of both programs, Pardon the interruption, as in, wait now let me play devils advocate. Around the Horn they are suppose to make points and counter point others peoples points.

I don't think LeBron is coming to the Nets (or any other team for that matter)

especially if the Cavs win it all this year, so all of the speculation is entirely pointless, IMO. Having said that, I wouldn’t protest his arrival to the Nets should I happen to be wrong. There may be something to what you allege, but I also think there are some out there that magnify things they don’t like in celebrities. It’s like politics – your enemies pick out the mistakes you make while rarely, if ever, recognizing the positive endeavors you have engaged in. If his antics were more over the top like Rodman or Artest, then there’s clearly cause for concern.

To me, he’s a young man who received alot of attention based on his b-ball ability early in life. I don’t begrudge him that, but NO ONE can know how to handle the amount of attention placed on them at such a young age. People ain’t perfect. I think his antics are more of a function of being young and immature than simply being a “bad guy”. He should grow out of it in time.

At least, that’s my take.

by Morph on May 10, 2010 11:16 AM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed

when you’ve basically spent your whole life being better than everyone by a pretty large margin at something and lauded by the media I imagine it’s hard to learn “humility”. I mean he’s been being called the chosen one like since he hit puberty, is it that odd he eventually bought into it himself?

Yeah I agree, he is not a "bad person,’ he didn’t bring this on him self, but at the same time, he is an adult and I hold him accountable for his actions. There are plenty other young stars who carry themselves with much more respect then Lebron. The point being, I don’t like the way he carries himself, earned or not. I prefer to go after players with class and respect. Someone I can feel good about. When you don’t shake the hands of your friends when they beat you, when its common practice for all sportsman to do so, that says something about a man.

these guys aren’t like you and me, they don’t lose they don’t experience failure often. When you’re an average Joe and you fail regularly at things it’s easy to just shake it off and consider others a sore loser. But do you really think if you can count the number of times you’ve lost/failed at something on one hand, and probably not even use all 5 fingers, it’s going to be the same thing as it is to an average Joe? It’s not as simple as being a sore loser for someone who’s never had to deal with it consistently, you only learn how to react properly after being put in the situation multiple times. If you haven’t you have no way of learning.

I bet Mama Lebron could care less, you probably care about it more than she does.

In fact, I bet that she gets on her knees every night and thanks the deity of her choice for allowing her the chance to use piss poor judgement on the night that Lebron was conceived.

Spare me this morality stuff...

Lebron works hard, plays hard, and keeps his nose clean off of the court. That’s what matters.

You seem to have some type of overblown expectations or unrealistic visions about the way human beings are. No one is perfect. We both have our good sides, and our bad sides. Most of the athletes who carry themselves with this wholesome, perfect human being image end up being utter frauds, if Lebron is a jerk, cool, I’m not surprised someone who has been catered to from the time he was a preteen is a jerk. I like the fact that a guy like Kobe Bryant does not hide the fact that he is a complete jerk. I respect him more because at least he’s not a phony. Anyway…I’m not going to kick and scream like a child if Lebron signed with the Nets because he might not be the nicest guy behind the media facade. I could care less, what he eats doesn’t make me go to the bathroom and him telling his mother to shut up doesn’t ruin my day, and it shouldn’t ruin yours either.

Ha.

I guess you don’t?

You should read what I write let alone what you write. When did I say he didn’t come out? I said the WAY he came out. The fact that he made an excuse. “Yeah I smoke… bbbuuuttttttt, I was under a lot of stress you guys! Thats why! Yeah, the stress.”

LOL

Thanks for the link that describes Lebron admitting that he and some fellow teenagers at the time smoked pot. That doesn’t mean that he does that NOW, which you tried to insinuate.

Barack Obama smoked pot and snorted coke when he was a kid. And?? So what?

And did you read the actual ESPN piece on this issue, which no one gives a crap about because no one balks at a 16 year old smoking pot? He admitted to smoking pot and didn’t try to blame it on others, what’s your deal?

Hell, he didn’t even have to volunteer that information.

you know

this was when he was in high school and already being mentioned as the coming of the best player ever?

Right

I said that. I said I didn’t have a problem with that also. My problem was his personality and blatant weak excuse. Similar situation is this #23 situation. He has #23 from the very start, which is the number every little kid wants to wear, which is fine, he was a kid. Lots of people called him out on it, so now, 8 years later he comes out and says he wants to change it out of respect? As if all of a sudden he just found respect for others?! To boot, he wants OTHERS to give up 23!? He just needs to man up on every level, and that is my opinion.

Knicks mistake was in hiring coaches who want to change team to fit their needs, while management wanted to sign the most attractive names (Starbury).

Hope Nets don’t make the same mistake with their new coach. He should be in place before the draft, and have a say in draft day and free agent decisions.

After this Series between the Suns and Spurs

D’Antoni looks more like a foul then ever before. That whole NO DEFENSE Mantra is stupid. The Suns are actually playing defense. That third game when they were down by 18, Defense got them back into that game.

I say stay away from this stuff.

If Lebron says no to the Knicks, I will be right there LMAO at all these fouls that posted this nonsense.

What a brilliantly hysterical idea, NI!

man, someone has to show him at the gap at a mall.

Nets should copy Knicks idea, but make a parody of it - eg. Mavs 128 - Knicks 78 as above.

The one above with Proky makes more sense. LeBron would find that funny.

Then get Beat writers to cover story of photoshopping LeBron.

Then when ESPN or Yahoo, etc. write their story, they would also cover the mockery by the Nets.
The effect would be to make a nationwide laughingstock of the Knicks.
It would force the national reporters to remind everyone how bad a team the Knicks are.

It would have the opposite effect intended by Knicks fans.
LeBron would want to stay away from that Joke of a team.

That's a pathetic job by the Daily News,

especially when you consider ESPN NY is doing this same campaign as well.

There may be sunny days ahead.

Stern opposes Lebron's departure

Believe it or not, Stern doesn’t want him going anywhere except for the Cavs. Despite all the hype, he won’t be going to either the Knicks or the Nets. It will just be a rumor in the end. Regaurdless, Lebron does have a big ego of himself, so the Nets can do better without him. Once he decides to stay on the Cavs, all of the hype will go away.

I have that last one as my background on my laptop. I’ve had it there since a forum member posted it on the nets forum on prosportsdaily.com 2 yrs ago. I refuse to change it until LeBron announces his move

Yeah I made it a long time ago. If anyone else doesn’t have it in it’s full size, it’s here:

The Knicks know there is 0 percent chance of landing LeBron. The only advantage they have is NY. No talent, no coaching, no ownership therefore not attractive. The reason they are doing all this stupid stuff is because they realize its there only chance of making LeBron even smile at the chance of going to new york

Ok!

This one I spent considerably more time on
