Did you even watch his press conference last night?

A reporter asked a question that obviously flustered him, and he pretty much just got up, walked off, and thrust his trophies in the media's face.

He's a childish bitch who still hasn't hit a game winning shot in an NBA Finals game.

Fortunately, this year Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller showed up to put him over the top.

Lebron was great, sure, but the Heat won the Finals because it was a team effort.

Shaq never hit a game winning shot in an NBA Finals game, and he has four ****ing championships. And if the NBA wasn't so reeruned, he should have had a chance at a 5th when he was with the Suns.

Lebron has gotten better, but there are still flashes of immaturity.

Wade on the other hand is a first class asshole.

It's no secret why your average fan get so worked up about them, and is blinded by hate. They wanted to be the villains and that comes with it. People who like LeBron and the Heat just need to realize that and stop wasting their time arguing.

The media likes to fast forward now. After game 1 they were talking about where KD stood all time. He's 23 ****ing years old. JFC. These are discussions you have about guys like Kobe, KG, etc.

LeBron and Durant have a lot of ball left and I have a feeling it could be a Lakers/Celtics type deal. Just enjoy it and let it play out.

All the over analysis on everything now and 80 shows that talk about stupid topics over and over is just getting silly and annoying.

[okcchief]

After a day to soak it in I'll just say I'm proud of the team and the fans. Even Brooks though he was an abortion the last series. I guess if I forgive the young players and know they will learn from mistakes he can do the same.

We need to implement some zone next year and continue to develop.

I wouldn't mind if Perk got in KG's ear and convinced him to come play for the vet minimum

So...idiot....did you go cry in your pink frilly throw pillow when the Heat won? I bet you made your big teddy bear hug you till you slept with the bitch tears drying on your cheeks. You need help.

KC really should become a Heat fan. He seems to like them a lot more than the Lakers. If Artest went there I think he might just explode in eternal orgasm.

You know you are probably right Kobe in the last 5 years has really sucked.

He has only won 2 NBA Championships, NBA MVP, 2 Finals MVP, NBA Scoring Champ (almost won it this year as well)...

yeah you are right he is worse than Wade my bad...lol

Hell Kobe is Top 5 in NBA scoring ALL-TIME but Wade is not even Top 50...but Lebron is.

[okcchief]

Kobe is better than Wade. I can't even waste my time arguing that.

The Heat won as a team and deserved the championship.

Anointing Lebron as the next great NBA player is nonsense.

He is not in the class of Bird, Jordan or even Kobe yet.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Anyone who says Wade > Kobe is a fuqtard.

I dislike both of them.

But facts are facts.

That's all.

Yeah, I don't like either but it's not close.

[Hammock Parties]

One thing I will say. Chris Bosh is ****ing hilarious. He does not deserve to be lumped in with the other two assholes.

But yeah, all of the stats lie and Kobe scores more points...he must be better! Such simple-minded, media narrative crap.

Noone in the NBA, on this board, or anyone in their right mind would choose wade over kobe besides you.
