you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Yes. That's it. Certainly not the fact that he's probably their most recognizable name other than Garnett.

You do understand that there is zero racial connotation to "mug" right? It's a British expression that means idiot, moron, dunce, etc.

I think they dislike each other. Got in a scuffle last year and some reporters mentioned at the time that they aren't on friendly terms.

Crowder was laughing about it after the game, said they were friends, and is currently sending joke tweets to Butler

Rubio bodied him with good defense, forcing Teague into a near-airball six feet from the basket while the game was still close late in the fourth.

Oh I see, Teague is just a sore loser

Remember when John Wall had embarrassed him several times and he undercut him on a breakaway and Wall broke his hand in five places.

Kinda surprised at the number of non-calls on Lebron, but I imagine if you get fouled a lot, which he does, there are bound to be some non-calls

Really? Seemingly every time I watch Lebron he gets absolutely slammed and abused on the way to the basket with no call and I can remember several if not many posts on this here site about the same thing. He's too strong for his own good and his body doesn't react to the hits the same way a mortal would so he gets penalized

It makes sense, Lebron's size isn't talked about much when I watch games, they mostly just babble about his court vision and such

New burning question: was the soup hot enough to burn Damon Jones?

Well then Smithy, this is Bingo Little and my friends and I from the Drones Club ran into old Damon Jones after your altercation. Well, we tried to when I went up to old Pongo Twistleton and said "what is troubling old Jonesy there, he looks like he just drew the short straw for one of Mrs Westwith-Gronto's intense fox-trot sessions, why the the old bird is perspiring like one of those naked Roman fountains?" "It is the barmiest thing," he said to me, "but it looks like Jonesy found himself in the soup again."

lebrons attacking the basket as much as anyone in the nba if not more and he currently has his lowest free throw rate since his rookie season(when handchecking was still legal). its just legal to foul him this regular season for some reason and i dont know why



http://bkref.com/tiny/HGgDw

67 dudes qualified for mpg leaderboards with higher free throw rates than lebron, i would imagine only a handful of them attack the basket anywhere near as often as lebron

Those numbers are only for the last 2 minutes of close games, and so are biased against good teams that tend to play more blowouts. I'm sure LeBron gets a billion missed calls during the rest of the game, just like every other physical player.

Aug 17, 2016

dokmo invent some attacking the basket stat then divide it by free throw rate and tell me who is lowest!! tell me all of it give me all of the data



also lebrons taking the 3rd most shots of his career inside 3 ft and getting the 2nd least foul calls the Knights Of Lebron will not stand for this


e: i actually think i mean free throws divided by shots at the rim or something but the computer should just understand what i mean, imo

since we're making GBS threads on refs does anyone feel like they are much quicker to T someone (not named Draymond) up than previous years? It's probably confirmation bias but I swear in the past people had to do worse poo poo.
