Since you refuse to believe so, in spite of years of factual history proving me right, you and your "argument" has earned the right to be mocked.

'years of factual history' = your personal observations, and those personal observations of other biased individuals. Yeah, that's certainly more "factual" and "rational" than statistical evidence showing that it's not as prevalent as you state.

Go on home, now. You're doing more damage to your argument than you are helping it.

You're a total moron if you think stats tell the story here. Which of course, is not a surprise even in the slightest given your proclivity for being wrong all the time.

Especially when it comes to superstar treatment.

zzzzzzzz.

And yet again, you resort to name-calling and opinion-stated-as-fact as your only argument. One would think you'd give up after getting your ass kicked over & over again. The 'proclivity for being wrong all the time' is certainly something you're an expert in. It surprises me that you're therefore attempting to apply it to me.

It's pretty simple here - IF there IS such a thing as superstar treatment, and that treatment truly was prevalent in the NBA to the extent you claim, it would absolutely show up in the stats. But the fact is, it doesn't. The FACT is, the ONLY thing you have to go on is your personal opinion and your own VERY biased observations.

And that, my friend, is a moronic position to argue from.

When (I won't be holding my breath) you come up with a credible argument that doesn't rely on name-calling or statements based on nothing but the smell of your colon, I'll agree that you're not full of shit.

You actually just proved my point for me.

Again.

Moron.

By all means, please continue. The more you do, the more you prove me right.

Your stunt double imitations of IndyCoug are amusing to watch.

Well, we know who was the ignoramus on this one. Me.

Damn, that last assist by Kobe where he split the double with a spin then wrapped the pass around Okur's head was ridiculous.

MVP.

MikeWaters · 05-08-2008, 05:13 AM

This is why Deron is not in the same league as CP3. It's the second round. Paul is dominating, and Deron is disappearing.

Surfah · 05-08-2008, 05:15 AM

Kyle Korver looks like he could be in one of those Geico commercials.

Deron still has the Lego Man fade going.

Kobe showing tonight clearly why he is the MVP. He was absolutely awesome tonight. 11 of 18 from the floor and 9 of 10 from the line. Add to that 7 assists and 6 boards (or vice versa) and he has had a great game. Honestly, Kobe has been great, he has hit next to impossible shots. If he keeps playing like that, the Lakers may not lose a game all playoffs.

Did I mention how much I hate the Lakers?
