nigga i know im late but who gives a fuck Anthony Davis is a beast…..
Red Eye Chicago has an interesting photo collection of LeBron James complaining to the referees during his time with the Miami Heat over 1+ seasons in South Beach. A lot of people might take this as a sign that ‘Bron is always bickering with the officials over calls, and its ironic because he gets a lot of trips to the line, but bitching at the referees has been an NBA pastime for time immortal.
With the relatively recent rule expanding the criteria needed for referees to assess technicals, players have to be on better behavior. But, they still flip out all the time about a perceived missed call, and you can almost see the progression as superstars do their initial tantrum, then calm down in time to avoid the Technical.
LeBron is no different in this respect than any other NBA star that deserves to get the benefit of the doubt during ambivalent foul situations. MJ was the king of this, and Rasheed Wallace was the worst.

Everyone was chattering about the New York Knicks and embattled head coach Mike D’Antoni last week. Here are some of the articles I found most helpful in sifting through what’s gone on with the team this season, and why people are worried after such high hopes during the blink-and-you-missed-it preseason.
- Moke Hamilton, Time to trade Stoudemire
- Howard Beck, The Delusion of Equality in Triplicate
- Mike Heisler, The Energy of New York Seduces Phil Jackson-
- Ken Berger, Mike D’Antoni not to blame

Not everyone was so excited about Blake Griffin cannon shot dunk on Kendrick Perkins. “The People’s Champ,” Kevin Durant told ESPN’s Tim McMahon:
“I have no appreciation for it at all. It was a layup, I think. He threw the ball in and got fouled and made his free throw, so it was three points at the end of the day, no matter how it happened, how it went in the basket. I really wasn’t impressed. He finished it. So what? We’ve moved on.”
I love poor sports. I mean, I think grown men should be civil, and I think there should be a professional courtesy involved with celebrations on court, but poor sports are great for the game. Statements like the one above show you just how much Kevin Durant wants it. Is there any question how badly he wants to win?
Let’s flashback to Game 6 of the 2011 Western Conference Finals. The Dallas Mavericks had just ousted Durant’s Thunder, and Durant showed his cards.
Reporter: Dirk’s been eliminated in the first round, 3 of the last 4 years. For him to reach The Finals at this stage of his career, what kind of feelings do you have, seeing him succeed, even at your expense?
Durant: I’m not happy at all. I’m a competitor, man. I really didn’t care about what he went through last 3 or 4 years. I know it’s been tough for him, he lost 3 of the last 4 years in the first round. I’m sure he’s happy now, he’s going back to The Finals, but I’m not happy for him at all, because I wanted to be there.
You’re lying to yourself if you don’t want a guy with that attitude on your team, and you’re lying to yourself if you don’t think both of these Durant quotes are kind of cool.
I love you for being a hater, Kevin Durant.
At the same time, hating Blake Griffin is a great way to get boofed on. Nevermind. I’m gonna delete this.
