why do Washington fans have such a hard one for James? did you guys bitch about a washed up Jordan getting those calls when he played in D.C.? i personally think James is a top 3 player, and pretty much a class act. hell, there isn't a single player in the NBA that ever commits a foul

Was that sarcasm? If you actually are serious, then my b. And I have such a hardon for James because he's the best, man. He's better than Walt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan combined. The last time a team tried to stop him he just started shooting laser beams with his eyes at anyone in his path and he didn't ever have to worry about fouls because he could never do no wrong. [/end sarcasm]

@Js: Really? I had no idea they could do that either lol. Next time you have to take one you should definitely let them know about that, I'd def. take that pill too if I knew I had the option lol.

And you're probably right about the fouls as well, I know a lot of players enhance the damage but I just wish that would stop, even if negatively impacted Arenas or anyone on the Wizards that tries to act hurt too. I just think it's a shame that pretty much all basketball is as much a game of acting and trying to draw the foul as it is shooting and rebounding and all the other basics.

Now I didn't watch basketball decades ago when men were actually men and didn't cry about getting a love tap on the arm, but I wish things were like that again. Basketball should be 5 men against 5 men, shooting baskets, rebounding hard, tough physical play but not overly out of bounds, instead of 5 egomaniacs going up against 5 other egomaniacs, and any time one of them gets touched they need to whine and cry until the refs see things their way, and that's why players such as LBJ shoot 20+ free throws a game.

I'm still pissed they didn't tell me about it til after the procedure!

I know...they all bitch they get fouled and they all bitch that they NEVER foul anyone. When I played b-ball I had to raise my hand when I fouled someone or I lose PT.

The game back in the 80's was by far the best. I miss those times.
