Also, he needs to stay off of twitter.

Yeah, he either needs to take lessons from Tiger or stop it. I actually felt embarrassed for him when he was trying to explain that karma comment.

I love watching LeBron play. As long as he doesn't murder someone or beat his g/f etc.. I'm not going to enjoy him on the court. However, he has brought some of this on himself with being compared to the greats (and maybe greatest?) of the game. The bar is so high, and that is what he is being held to. So when he tweaks an ankle and the announcers say he looked great in warmups at 6:00 but is in street clothes when the ball is tipped at 7, I think it's fair to criticize.

But I really love LeBron's talent and enjoy it. I also enjoy watching him try to reach that lofty goal, and he might be able to do it.

I'm not sure exactly which goal you're talking about, but I seriously doubt if he has any chance to achieve it now.

Being in Jordan's status legend-wise. He just turned 26, so I wouldn't write him off.

In my opinion, the path he's chosen excludes him from Jordan status, pretty much ever.

If there isn't a stand-alone 'Blake Griffin Appreciation Thread', there should be.

The dude's a monster!

Wonder how long he stays a Clipper?

I've seen a lot of this guy recently and he's great, BUT -

How do people argue that the NBA game is superior to the college game when there's two guys already down near the paint and they do virtually nothing to stop him? I mean, he does a nice little job of forcing the defense into creating a screen for him, but still there's three guys total down there and I'm not sure you can even say there's a hand up to obstruct him. Sometimes the NBA is a little too much like watching pro wrestling.

I should add I haven't watched the NBA consistently for years, so maybe the Wolves are just that bad.

Better players and better coaching. Is there some third category that should matter that would give college basketball the edge?

Seriously, last year's national championship game had a stretch of no scoring for over 10 minutes. Garbage.

Players that care?
