He's the boss, it's on him.

Yeah, why doesn't every team just bring in a great GM and top 5 all time coach? I don't get it. Boy that Kawhi Leonard sure is a breath of fresh air. It's a real testament to his character that he got drafted onto a team with three hall of famers already there. No decision needed for that guy.

I haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

All I'm saying is that the Spurs win championships pretty reguarly, and there's no fanfare, even among the Hall of Famers. They don't talk about how good they are. They don't tell us how many championships they're going to win. They don't recruit anyone to play for them. They just win. It's pretty cool.

I agree broncos. The Spurs are among the elite franchises in all of sports, a well oiled machine that just goes out and gets it done.

I'm sure you never did anything dumb at age 25 that you later matured and learned from. Let's just keep bringing that up for the rest of your life.

The Spurs just absolutely wore out the Heat with their ball movement. Total buyin to Pop's system. Does Buford get credit for adding the rest of the pieces?

The only morale I see is that a great team with a great core and a great bench playing the best basketball easily trumps the best player playing with some good players.

I just think a coach who wears $2500 suits could afford dermabrasion for acne scars.

He's one of the most famous professional athletes of all time and "The Decision" was a colossal PR disaster. He owns it. And, to be honest, that didn't really bother me that much. What really got me annoyed was the "not 1, not 2, not 3..." nonsense at that asinine celebration right after the signings.

Look, I want to like James because he's one of (if not the most) talented basketball players that ever played the game. But those two things along with the constant whining about calls, flopping, etc. make it real hard to do. I also think he is a bit of a frontrunner, but that's just me.

None of us are suggesting that he be lynched. I think we all agree that he's a great player. I don't dislike the guy.

I did plenty of dumb things when I was 25. I didn't just brush them all under the rug when I turned 30. There were consequences. Sometimes (if you're lucky) those consequences are as simple as a little crow being served up.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

You can argue whether it's a damnable trait, but would anyone here, even the staunchest defenders, argue that LeBron isn't a frontrunner?
