  1. Anyone that saw the fight knows that Tarver caught him clean. End of story. Now Roy gets to join Tyson as the only two members to have gone from "greatest" to "WTF happened to him ?"
  2. Blaming the shortcomings of the team on one player is ludicrous. LeBron did his job, his part to help that team. That's something you can't deny, because the stats prove you wrong. Going by the feeling that not making the playoffs/winning a championship qualifies you as overrated, then we've got a hell of a list of Hall of Fame players in EVERY sport that are overrated. I'm going to call bullshit on that.
  3. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'd LOVE to see a Minor League baseball game made that is as in depth as some of the MLB games out today, an NCAA baseball game, or a SMALL COLLEGE NCAA football game ... That's just my wishful thinking though ...
  4. You're mistaking James for Kwame Brown in the not delivering part. You're also not accepting the fact that he didn't benefit from college as Jordan did (not to mention arguably the best college program ever mind you), and did this as a 19 year old rookie. In five years, if LeBron hasn't risen above the line he put up this year, then yeah he'll fall victim to being overrated. I know exactly how he was heralded, and he delivered on all but very few accounts. Does he match up to MJ's rookie year ? Not so much, but he does match up, and even blow by SEVERAL "legends" of the game, as well as many of the recently "hyped to hell and back" stars. Here's the link to compare them for yourself and see: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/lebron/line?compId=1035 Did you honestly believe he'd put up MJ numbers ? I didn't. I did feel though, that he'd be in the top 10-15 players in the league, and he was. You can't bash him for not being the greatest player to ever step in the NBA, because he's played only one year. You have no idea what he's going to do. Remember Kobe at this age ? Or Garnett ? He's already better than both of them were at the same time in their careers. Kobe also played on a team infanitely better than LeBron.
  5. As a 19 year old rookie with no college playing experience LeBron was in the top 15 in the NBA in all of the following: PPG SPG Minutes Ass. Points APG FGM Steals He was in the top 5 in all rookies in all major statistical catagories. Of course, his ROY Award means nothing too I'm sure. Carmello had a better cast surrounding him than LeBron did, and LeBron had the Cavaliers in the playoff race until literally the last few days of the season. He also doubled the Cavs wins from last season (Mello did the same I know) and generated interest in a team that has had a dead fan base since Brad Daugherty left. Yeah, I said Brad Daugherty. None of that says overrated to me. The difference between what Mello did and what LeBron did, was that Mello came in with the experience of playing against something other than HS players. Going through the tournament (and winning it) is one of the single greatest learning tools for an amatuer player. LeBron didn't get that. He made the straight jump, and showed he MORE than belonged. Hell, James joined Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to average more than 20 points, five rebounds and five assists per game in their rookie season. Here's a look at the last few Hyped up HS'ers compared to LeBron in their rookie years: http://www.kfba.net/Articles/19892.aspx this shows how they don't stack up to LeBron who's rookie line. LeBron had more PPG (20.9), loses out only to Kobe in FT% (75.4), is beaten out in RPG by only Stoudamire and Garnett (5.5), blows them away in APG (5.9), and he also is in the upper half in blocks with .7 PG. He's not overrated.
  6. I don't see how anyone can call LeBron overrated after his performance this year.
  7. Godsmack - "I stand Alone" opening (main riff) Lenny Kravitz - "Are you Gonna go my way" opening (main riff) Poison - "Fallen Angel" opening Pantera - "Becoming" main riff meh, there's way too many of these to list ....
  8. If Tarver could continue to fight like he did in the two bouts with RJJ, I'd liken him to a shadow of Marvelous Marvin Haggler .... Southpaw fighters kick ass .... ask Roy
  9. Name an at-bat in the last 2-3 weeks that Bonds saw more than one strike. Seriously though, what does that have to do with the trade ? I already said that Beltran had power that Damon doesn't, but Damon still can put out 15-20, and from a leadoff, number 2 guy that's good. Better contact ? Lifetime avgs for both: Beltran .288, Damon .284. Wow, Beltran is way better. Career high avg for Beltran is .307, for Damon it's .347. *cough* Only slightly better in the field ? Beltran's career FP = .981 Damon's = .990 Career errors for Beltran = 36, Damon = 29, and Damon has played three more seasons. The most errors Damon has made in a season is 6, for Beltran it's 12.
  10. I don't see it. Their numbers virtually match up. There are only two differences that are significant. Beltran has the better power, but Damon is the better fielder. Other than that, it's virtually the same guy. (RBI numbers are skewed thanks to placement in the batting order.) Damon has three years on Beltran, but he's only 31 this season. Plenty of time left. Seeing as how close they are, I'd stay with the guy that has the great chemistry rather than dig him up and put in someone new there. You only do that for the Alex Rodriquez's and Barry Bonds of baseball. Beltran isn't anywhere near that.
  11. Why get rid of Damon ? That's stupid. He's got great chemistry with the team, is an All-Star, and has been something he hasn't been everywhere else. Consistant.
  12. See if you can find the studio 54 remix ..... it's complete with the chicka talking at the begninning doing the intro ... it's about 25 minutes long, and good for all you FUNKIN needs ...
  13. oh yeah ... It's a Samsung phone
  14. Anybody got any good ones ? The best site I've found so far is 3gupload but all of their junk is midi just about .... (of course i have no idea if better stuff is available) If you know of a good (free) site, please let me know. The school just gave me my reimbursment check and I just got the new telephono
  15. you mean 500+ Even if Bonds did use steriods, they didn't make him a great hitter. His work ethic is unparalleled .... the steriods didn't give him his eye at the plate, or make him a ten times more disciplined hitter ... steriods didn't give him his 6 gold gloves ... steriods didn't give him his quick bat and fluid swing .... The debate about steriods is stupid anyway .... the steroid usage would hurt his performance just as much as help it .... if anyone knows anything about steroids and how the body works, then you'd know what I'm talking about ... If only given one vote and these two are the choices, I go with BONDS ...
  16. Yeah, this sucks. Mondesi is a hell of a player. The thing about his kids is crazy though ... never imagined that it would have been his first time EVER to do that. Damn.
