  1. "I also just like discussing what makes one player "greater" than another. Is it championships, is it personal awards, stats, dominating your contemporaries?" Skills. Dominance. Personal awards. Stats. Able to elevate teammates. "Same with Lebron...we saw him in Cleveland...without the team...he'd not be winning as much or as well." he dragged that team to multiple 60+ win seasons, and a Finals appearance. Jordan could never do any such thing with lesser teammates. And, when James left, the Cavs 'magically' became a joke again. "But I'd say Kevin Durant is a more dangerous offensive player. KD has more weapons in his disposal than Lebron." No, he doesn't. All Durant has is a great shot. That's it. We saw what happens when Durant is by himself... he gets his points but cannot elevate teammates, and is no longer a threat to do anything substantial. I'd argue that Durant isn't even the best player on his own team. That belongs to Westbrook. While Jordan won a DPOTY, Lebron should have at least 3 of them including on this season. Lebron should also be in the midst of 5+ MVP awards but the voters feel the need to punish him hence why he didn't win a deserved MVP his first season in MIA. Just like he likely won't win MVP next season b/c voters will be 'bored' voting for the same guy. Lebron > Jordan P.S. Glad there are NBA discussers here now.
  2. "and Lebron won without Wade and Bosh?" Did you not read what I wrote? No one individual can win a championship solo. "I'm not sure what measure you are using to compare the two" the measure of a acomplete basketball player. MJ was a selfish one dimensional player who can shoot very well. Lebron is a complete player who does everything well and makes all players awesome. He can pass, shoot, block, rebound, and is a guy who should have won multiple defensive player awards and should have been in the middle of a 5+ MVP run. MJ was awesome. But, Lebron is awesomer. It's not even close. And, don't talk abotu how long it took Lebron to win because both he and MJ basically won their first championship at about the same age. Lebron is still just 28. He has more awesome sauce coming. Let me ask you soemthing, out of all the sweet MJ highlights that exist, how many of them are blocks like the ones Lebron did to Splitter or Duncan? or superb passes? Veyr little or not. All of MJ's highlights are him dribbling and shooting. MJ was awesome with the ball and shooting and he was an above average defender. But, he was NOt the complete player James is.
  3. How can they be like the Yankees when they have the same salary cap as every other team so it is not like they have unfair monetary advantage. He doesn't need championships to compete with jordan. Championships are a TEAM victory. Player vs player he is superior to Jordan. Jordan couldn't win **** until Pippen came along.
  4. "Its poor sportsmanship" No, it isn't. "Miami's big 3 is especially bad when it comes to flopping" No 'worse' than anyone else. The rules aren't there to protect players. the rules are there to make the league money. The league doesn't give a crap about players. The NBA creates a lot of stupid rules so I don't take them making whatever rules seriously. L0L It don't matter though... The Miami Heat won so the league can shut their mouths and cry elsewhere!!! P.S. the 'flopping rule' was created just so the league can steal money from the players. That's it that's all.
  5. Every player flops, and big deal, nothing wrong with flopping. It's smart to do and only crybabies whine about flopping.
  6. "We're not Detroit" L0L... That's mean, evil, cruel.... and, sadly, true.... Poor Cleveland crybabies. You get what you deserve. So.. how is the Cavs enjoying those champions they were gonan win before Lebron was gonna win one? L0LZ Bitter people who whine about James make me laugh.
  7. "Doesn't he have anything else to do in his life? No other interests? I'm not saying that as a jibe, I just mean...he's 41 and rich. I understand some people don't like to "sit still" for very long, but maybe he could start up a business. Or learn management/coaching. Or something." Yeah, how horrible of him. He wants to do the thing he's been doing for the past 2 decades.. I dunno because he enjoys it and he is good at it. What an evil, evil, evil man. EXECUTE HIM.
  8. TWO TIME TWO TWO TIME CHAMPION OF THE NBA!!!!!!!!!!! This guys kick butt, and schools all the 'experts' who udnerestimated and laughs in the face of the scumbags who betrayed him in Cleevland. LEBRONNNNNNNNN JAMESSSSSSSSSSSSS = one of the best professional atheletes of all time!!!
  9. That was actually a pretty good movie.
  10. "What reason was there for Lois to do that? Just saying that there's a reason doesn't make it true. She had no reason to suspect Clark of anything and no reason to follow him. However, she had far more reasons to try learn more about what the military and the scientists are doing. What does being an adventurer have to do with it? What kind of adventurer randomly stumbles upon some stranger and just starts following them? And journalists are supposed to gather something called evidence. Journalists are supposed to conduct interviews, look for useful clues, they don't just randomly follow things for no logical reason. If she had interviewed Clark or tried to interview him and thought that he was trying to hide something then maybe she would have had a reason to spy on him and follow him but she didn't." You would suck being an investigative reporter. And, you double suck udnerstanding the characetr of Lois Lane (be it in this movie or her repeated protrayals). They are in the middle of nowhere. Some lone punk goes off on his own randomly... that should seem suspicious, and unlike you, Lois has common sense and curoristy. The military and scientists weren't going anywhere and doing she couldn't see. Geez.. don't be ignorant.
  11. Sure, there is. Did you even watch the movie? And, yes, she is reckless and takes chances, but she ahd every reason to do what she did. It is obvious you are not a journalist or an adventurer.
  12. "Lois isn't reckless for its own sake." Which version of Lois have you watched? She is always neededlessly reckless. And, that decision of hers made perfect sense.
  13. "Begins was the film that made comics viable again," I thoguht XMen and Spdierman did that first. "and Batman works in the "Gritty real world" setting. Superman doesn't." True, but Superman can be done gritty too. The difference is Batman is human and has human frailties while Superman doesn't. Still.. I love how they went to a certain spot for Supes in thsi one.
  14. Yes, Amy Adams was definitely one of the best parts of the movie. The other best actor award in the film goes to Jor El. Also, I don't mind they made Perry White (lol) black.. but, why choose such an intimidating physical figure? He towers over everyone. Heh. I do like that side story of Perry and his lackies in their pursuit fo survival. "I enjoyed Man of Steel. Lets hope it is more of a Batman Begins than a X-Men." It is better than Batman begins which was okay but is oevrrated. X Men is pretty damn good. I even liked the later movies even though they suffered backlash.
  15. How long does it take before the clerics smack him down. Plus, remember 'moderate' in iran ism likely not the same as 'moderate' elsewhere. Afterall, he needed to be approved by the clerics to run in the first place. And, they still have the true power.
  16. "Amy Adams is great too but they made Lois too reckless, put her in situations that didn't make much sense," Lois is always reckless. I just like the fact they didn't make this Lois an 'ice princess' in this one.
  17. Man of Steel - 7.5/10 Good movie with lots awesomestuff and not so awesome stuff. I thought Lois Lane was awesome but Zod was played crappily. The out of ordeer flashbacks was dumb as it would have been better to see Clark growing up with his Earth parents in a linear time fashion. Beginning on Krypton was good stuff. Caville was solid but not spectacular in the role. The only question is since this is likely getting a sequel.. what do you do top top the literal earth destroying story of this one? This is a story that could have been saved for final film of a series/trilogy...
  18. There are plenty of sexist women, gaming doesn't cause this kind of sexism, as I said before there are countries were men are not even treated like people, let me tell you something, these countries are really big on gaming, You could say that those societies are really matriachic and sexist, but I would say the cause is lack of the right education, lack of commons ense social development and also religion has no part in it.
  19. "That's even worse than a game being branded as bad. At least a bad game you're likely to remember." Yeah, because John Travolta loves the fact people remember Battlefield Earth than the number of movies he's amde that people don't remember. LMAO Anyways, DA series ? Twitcher series. 'Nough said.
  20. "I put greater trust in CD Projekt than in Bioware, just because they haven't screwed up with their last two titles." CDP always screw up. They make the same game repeatedly and they are both crap. They screwed up so bad they nearly went out of business. "I think that those at bioware know that thay can't screw up anymore if they want to survive as a company." BIO isn't a company. They are a division. Still, BIO at its worse (KOTOR and Sonic) are vastly sueprior than CDP at its best (Twitcher). ITS TRUE. ITS DAMN TRUE. p.s. "Soo, Varric, Cassandra and Morrigan. Dragon could also be an Archdemon?" I have a funy feeling that is a certain DA2 protaganist's dead body that marric is standing over.. That makes me sad. p.s..s. It's dumb that you cna't be allowed to play a dwarf in DA3. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
  21. "Travolta was even more terrible as the villain in Jane's Punisher than he was in Battlefield Earth." It's a dilemma. I like the Obsidian boards. I hate the Obsidian boards. Too much trolling going on. I found John Travolta awesome in Punisher. To compare that performance to the **** known as Battlefield Earth is an embarassment to YOU not to Travolta.
  22. "Having nearly all female characters in video games be beautiful, sexy and appealing = objectification." First off, that's not true. Second off, that isn't even objecticiation.
  23. Wither 3: Solid trailer but the hurbis is hilarious. Twictehr is no 'ultimate rpg'. That is NWN. DA3: She's backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. "Do the huge boobs add anything positive to the game?" Uh... Is this a serious question? By their very existence they add something positive.
  25. "Daredevil anyone ?." Daredevil > both versions of Dredd. Daredevil is one of the better comic book films. Period. Only a troll will claim that Daredevil sucks.
