What do you think Lebron James REALLY said to Arenas when he was at the free throw line??
599304
He probably said exactly what he said he said..."If you miss these free throes, you guys are going home." I love and respect LeBron enough to believe what he said

Yes, he was talking about Kobe Bryant, he even said it when the reporter asked him who he meant.   I initially thought he was talking about Michael Jordan.  Anyways, I have the game on DVD and I watched it again today (GO HEAT), and he said it was Kobe.

It's a fake, anyone who says otherwise is pretty gullible.\n\nYou can't seriously think he made like 8 of those in a row, especially when it didn't even look like he was shooting hard enough to get it to half court. Be serious.

In all honesty, it really was.  Despite the presence of LeBron James, the game was so boring that I just turned off the television.\n\nThere was one shining moment though, I thought the 40-foot three point shot of Jamaal Crawford off a pass from Nate Robinson (as the shot clock expired) was nice.  But when you really think about it, it was a lucky shot on a broken play.\n\nHope this helps.

To the poster who said Jordan had six inches on Oscar Robertson...\n\nRobertson was 6'5" , Jordan was 6'6".\n\nTo the person who said Wilt played at a time when Centers did 75% of the scoring.... where did you get THAT percentage??\n\nWilt averaged 30 ppg over his career... if 75% of the scoring was done by centers, that can only mean that his teams averaged 40 points per game, of which he scored 30, or 75%.... what numbers are you looking at??\n\nTo the same poster:  You said that Jordan "just had this thing that when he shot it the ball always went in the hoop."\n\nThere are a total of 95 players in NBA history who shot better than 50% from the field. Jordan is NOT among those 95 players.  So I don't think his shots went 'in the hoop' as much as you think they did... \n\nYou've spent too much time watching Sportcenter and not nearly enough time watching basketball (I'll grant you that SportsCenter probably didn't show Jordan missing any shots, which is why you probably thought that every shot he took went in).\n\nShould someone who's considered to be the greatest player of all time (Jordan) be among the 100 best shooters in league history? Not if you're Michael Jordan... doesn't matter how lousy your percentage was, you're still the greatest!! LOL\n\n\n\nRussell was better than Jordan... and so was Wilt... and so was Kareem.\n\nWilt was the most talented player ever. Jordan's scoring average was 5/100th of a point higher than Wilt's, but that's because Jordan shot a lot more.... I've pointed this out before, but M J took more that 1,000 more shots than Chamberlain over the course of their careers, despite the fact that Wilt played almost 7,000 MORE minutes than M.J., which as GOT to make Jordan the greatest ball hog of all time, but that's about the only thing he was ever best at.\n\nWilt averaged 46 minutes per game over his career, easily the most durable player in league history, by far. Wilt is the only player to average MORE than 48 minutes a game during a season (because he sat out only 6 minutes all year, but played many more minutes of overtime).\n\nIn Wilt, you're talking about a guy who scored 30-40% more points than Jordan (at their peaks), had twice as many rebounds as Dennis Rodman, and was no worse than the 2nd best defensive player of all time, and he might have been THE best.  He also led the league in assists, a feat never accomplished by anyone other than a guard (Jordan, of course, would never even consider leading the league in a thing like assists).\n\nUnless they're going to have a free-throw contest, Wilt would dominate Jordan in every category, even passing, since Jordan never led the league in assists, and never even came close to so doing (he finished 8th in assists one year, big deal).\n\nWilt also never played against high school kids while in the NBA, as Jordan did.

The ref was correct, in my opinion.\n\nHere are some of the pertentent free throw rules for the NBA (I know, not college or high school, but I believe that they are similar):\n\na. After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free throw shooter, his attempt shall be within 10 seconds in such a way that the ball enters the basket or touches the ring before it is touched by a player. The shooter shall be within that part of the free throw circle behind the free throw line. \n\nc. A player who occupies a free throw lane space shall not touch the floor on or across the free throw lane line, nor shall any player 'back out' more than 3' from the free throw lane line. A player who does not occupy a free throw lane space must remain behind the three-point line. This restriction applies until the ball leaves the free thrower's hands. \n\nThese two rules might be slightly different for college or high school ball, but I am not sure.\n\nNow, here is the ruling on penalties levied:\n\n(6) If there is a free throw violation by each team, on a free throw which is to remain in play, the ball becomes dead, no point can be scored and play shall be resumed by a jump ball between any two opponents at the center circle. \n\nThese are NBA rules, but I believe that, though the mechanics might be a little different (jump ball, for example), the generalities are still the same for college and high school.\n\nThe shooter and the defender both violated rules, and there is no precendent for one rule or the other, and so the ball becomes dead, perhaps, in this case, being awarded to the other team?

There was another in a series of subtle hints and clues that Carlos Boozer might play basketball soon Saturday, but this one was a pretty tough to miss: Boozer himself. \n   For the first time since November, Boozer made an appearance at a Jazz road game, sitting in a suit behind the Jazz's bench. "It means I'm getting a lot better. I'm getting close" to a return, the Jazz's power forward said. "I like being around the guys. I missed the guys, that's one of the biggest reasons I came." \n   Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said he also liked having Boozer with the team, figuring that he's got some catching up to do. "He can hear what the coaches are saying, be in the locker room, get a little bit of an idea about some of the things we've tinkered with since he's been out," Sloan said. "He's an intelligent guy. It won't take him long. But this puts him in more of a comfort zone." \n   Boozer, who has missed the entire season with a strained left hamstring, last played for the Jazz on Feb. 14. He intends to return to practice "hopefully soon," he said, but won't know how much practice he will need before returning to action until he actually gets out there. \n   Still, traveling on road trips is an unmistakable sign of progress, Sloan agreed. "Hopefully it won't be as big an adjustment as if he had stayed away completely," Sloan said. "We just have to keep our fingers crossed now."

I find the decision to suspend Jerry Stackhouse incredibly stupid.\nIt was a good old hard foul! Whenever Shaq or Haslem fouls one of the Dallas players hard, do they get suspended? NO!\n\nI think David Stern is doing everything he possibly can to stop Mark Cuban from getting his hands on the NBA Championship. It's stupid.\n\nBut the Mavs are gonna show David Stern, Shaq, and all those Heat fans what they're made of tonight.\n\nGO MAVS!!

*** He was the one in violation of his own labor agreement.*** \n\n\nWhen a player CHOOSES to play for the NBA, he chooses to;\nsign, agree to, and play by the CBA as negotiated by the NBA players union.  \n\nA Collective Bargaining Agreement;  A contract with terms that both the NBA and the Players have chosen to follow.  \nIf one of the rules in the CBA are to control your speech on or off the court, you have 3 choices.  1) Control your speech, 2) not control your speech and pay the fine as negotiated in the CBA, 3) Do not play. \n\nThe player may file a grievance.  But he has no grounds to sue, he was the one in violation of his own labor agreement.  \n\nhttp://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles.php - a link to the NBA's CBA \n\nShould an actor that signs a "confidentiality agreement" over the details of his next film be able to sue for free speech?

That game was GREAT! The Cavs weren't doin so hott in the first half, but they came back after halftime! LeBron is great! He,again, broke another record.\n\nI like the Wizards,though,too,and they played a pretty good game.You gotta hand it to them.\n\nBut the Cavs are better and they're gonna win that series! Right now, they're 2-1.Only one more game til they head back home.

Seiously.I fell you...\n\nHe pisses me off not just cause I am Spurs fan but because he is a nerd that gets too much attention.\nFor example...\nSports broadcasters keep reading his bogs about the Fn refs...\nWhen last game Van exel got kicked out, Tim Duncan got BS callas and oh yeah I saw good ol Mark slip a 100,000 check in the refs pants.\n\nI mean why not right, he gets fined that much so he figures why not just pay the ref's..\nOf course I'm kidding...I am serious about him needing to get away.\nHe is an Fn owner of a team...NOT A PLAYER\n\nAvery "lLil General" Johnson should put that butch in his place...he is the coach of the yeaSo don’t worry,yahoo won’t take gim oyt of the equation but Avery’s loudA*s*s speech will : )

Either though he seems humble, he is cocky. He didnt even enter the dunk contest because he said that he wanted to give the people who dont get as many minutes as him a chance to shine. Everybody knows he can only do that same korny dunk he always does. Actually I do watch hoops and I play as well. Lebron does not have that big of a sclection of dunks as Vince or Kobe may have. He does same signature dunk in every game. He hangs back one handed and dunks it. Nothing particulary special. He would get murdered in a dunk contest.

Oh my god, you cannot believe that. \n\nBefore the playoff, I worried that he is not enough experience to handle playoff. However, after watching the Cav's match, my worry is nonsense. \n\nJames always played the game like god. In the playoffs, his stats even more well round and better than M. Jordan. \n\nDetroit was pushed to the corner. James, go to kill Priston in Game 6. \n\nI believe you.

The guy said from the other board.\n\n"From the NBA rulebook.\nWade jumped from the front court, caught the ball in flight, and landed in the back court. According to the rules, perfectly legal."\n\nI agree with that.
