(frank) basketball. Worst rules in any sport. Refs are bad in all sports but awful is too generous for them in basketball..

Hockey and Football (even though football refs blow too) are the best two sports.

Raking most likely be this

NFL
Baseball
Basketball
Golf

I would say I hate when people talk poop about LeBron when they don't even watch the game Just saying When you make six straight finals that's pretty impressive
And it's a team sport when LeBron gets shut down his other players are supposed to step up which they dont Kevin Love should've been gone last year he's atrocious
They have been doing wrong moves after the next making this Cavs roster he will be back in Miami this summer and win his third ring

Anytime you'd like to be schooled in basketball knowledge let me know.

Lebron lacks a killer instinct.

When you keep Curry and Thompson to 25 combined points and lose by 15, you might be getting swept.

I'm not even going to have this talk because you don't even watch the game to say he has no killer instinct is the stupidest thing I've heard from A LeBron hater

So it's his fault that he is shadowed the whole game like curry and Thompson and you say he has no killer instinct his team didn't help him out like this golden state warriors did for curry and Thompson

No killer instinct did you his MVP performances in the playoffs when he won his first two rings

A player that doesn't have a killer instinct is Kevin Durant right now

I think i read in the past that he was american born but kinda forgot.
Is he the one everyone is saying GMTM wont take because he's "russian?"

- seedy



No that's Sergachev. Chychrun is born in Florida and lived there. His dads an ex NHL player. Segachev met with Buffalo too and this was his quote.

"It was my first interview of the combine, and there were like about 20 guys in the room," Sergachev said Saturday. "That was kind of tough, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, what’s going on here?’ But that was good.

"Good team and so many good players. Great coach. I met him. Great city, great team, and I would like to play here."

So maybe Russian factor not necessarily in play

Unless you don't think the Cavs are going to miss all those bunnies again and the 4 that combined for 53 won't do that again despite Curry and Klay not getting anything in game 1.

This isn't like the NFL draft... The pick will be Sergachev or Chychrun. And that's based on need and what I've read and know

I've watched, played, and forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever dream about. I played the game for 20 years and would still be playing it if my hip wasn't shot.

Lebron doesn't even sniff my top 5 of all time greats.

This is not the media hype BS storm that an NFL draft is. I've been watching these things longer than you have. The Sabres are picking at 8 they have no idea how the draft is going to shake out above them. Teams are meeting with players they don't even have a chance at. Why would so many teams meet with Matthews? They're certainly not doing it to "throw people off" They don't have any idea who they're drafting yet but Chychrun and Sergachev had great interviews and fit a need and also ranking standpoint as a BPA. If either are there they will be the pick.

I personally think it will be Chychrun with his pedigree and background and the fact he's tight with the owners.

IMO if they can't trade up for Tkachuk or Chychrun isn't there at 8, they should move the pick.

Possibly but Sergachev is seen as more NHL ready then Chychrun by some.

That's great and all but you still sound like a LeBron hater you say he has no killer instinct which is not true at all

How is he not one of your top five one of the greatest basketball players of our time


1. MJ
2 Kareem
3. James
4. Magic Johnson
5 . Kobe Bryant's or chamberlain

Outside of the top 3 maybe 4, I don't really see anyone playing the year in the NHL honestly.

Just to name 4 that are ahead of James and Kobe. I hate Kobe but he's ahead of James. I can make a case for about 10-12 guys that are ahead of James.

I have tried very hard to like LeBron, but it's the constant comparisons to Jordan that anger me. Don't get me wrong, LeBron is an incredible physical specimen that has put up great numbers and plays an elite, balanced game.

But he is nothing like Jordan. Or even Kobe for that matter. Those two had ice running through their veins. All the chatter about Curry and the historic Warriors would've infuriated Jordan, and you would've seen him drop 50 or 60 in game one, if that's what it took to win. He was 6-0 in the finals for a reason.

My problem with LeBron is that he seems to fade into the background when the going gets tough. Jordan or Kobe would never watch a finals game slip away while only putting up 21 shots. Take over the game and hope your teammates follow.

Just my opinion, of course. Having said that, I'm rooting for LeBron and the Cavs, as I can empathize with Cleveland's misery.
