that "guaranteed to win championships" line is bull**** and you know it!

come on, this is ridiculous, just because everyone wants to compare the man to Jordan doesn't mean he can do the exact same thing as Jordan and have the same success. Plenty of fantastic players play their whole careers "honorably" or "loyally" or w/e you wanna call it and just never pull a championship off. Look at Stockton and Malone, one of the best 1-2 punches in NBA history, absolutely perfect pick and roll. They stuck with the Jazz their whole careers and never once got a championship (ironically robbed of their best chance by a Jordan comeback... *swoon* how inspirational of Jordan). Reggie Miller stuck with the Pacers through thick and thin, never once got a title. You can argue, "oh but those guys weren't the best player in the league," but you have to get what I'm saying... Devotion and great play alone don't lead to championships and **** can happen and you can wake up 10 years down the line realizing that you haven't won your championship and you're now a half step too slow to lead your team over the next Heir apparent to the Jordan throne. And that's not even considering that at any moment you could be the next Pete Maravich and just suffer a career ending injury.

I guess what I'm saying is that Basketball careers are like lives... they're shorter than you think and you never actually know when they're going to end. so how are you gonna hold it against a man when he's trying to do what he can to win today?

The 90s were packed with great all time players, they got unlucky to be in Jordan's era. Lebron has no such thing holding him back. He's 25 and he's already been to an NBA finals, Conference finals, and overall made the playoffs what, 4 or 5 times? And this is with the lowly Cavs. They won 60+ games the last 2 years. Any team winning 60 games is a title contender undoubtedly. Nothing is guaranteed - correct! But as far as I'm concerned Lebron signing anywhere is just as close to guaranteed as signing with Miami because the bottom line is it was going to happen barring injury. He's the most dominant player in the league since Shaq.

ok ...and how many championships did Shaq win before joining the lakers? -_-

how much did that dominant player joining a super-team kill the League?

EDIT: and yea, no to No Johns, busy this weekend.

Rofl the super team of Elden Campbell and Eddie Jones. You do realize the Magic were way way better than the Lakers at the time Shaq left, right? Penny in 95 > Kobe in 2000. Whatever tho, this is dumb. I'm done.

Durant is better than Lebron.

Just wait. If OKC can build around him, I'll hop onto their bandwagon. However, I'm a risk taker. I want to see Gilbert Arenas as a Knick.

And yeah, Penny was a MONSTER.

fivethirtyeight is an awesome website.

Also, after effects' memory management sucks donkey ****.

And I don't think I'll be able to come to No Johns either.

I wish you great luck with everything though, Max.

3. convert to a different file format to preserve quality.
4. upload each one.

Nice playing you Arc. All you NE guys were mad cool, you're welcome for housing anytime (as long as I can accommodate :laugh:).

As for the crew battle, no one really gave a ****. By the time singles was over, everyone had to go. I'm sure we can make it happen some other time, we all just have to make time for it.

If you wanted to do the crew battle so bad Jesse you should have actually come to the tournament instead of just talking ****. It was so much fun and a lot of people just hung out/played friendlies and didn't enter singles.

The tree combo was **** as ****, such a good tourney.

Good **** TFS, also nando wants in so, expect him in the roster at some point.
