Do you guys realize how huge of a meltdown there will be if Miami loses? I will be sad if it doesn't happen.

I think it would pale in comparison to the meltdown if Miami wins. It will be worse than last year, by far.

this will be the most tainted title in professional sports history.

I really need to start doing layups from the right elbow to the left side of the rim and finish with the right hand instead of the left. (Like Kawhai Leonard did on his and-1). I already do reverses this way, but usually use the left on the left side from straight on. Why do so many NBA players do this? I know they have left hands.

the defender has to go through the player's left to get to the ball. if you use the left, you usually open up and it's an easier block.

Brock Landers · « **Reply #1712 on:** June 20, 2013, 10:58:30 PM »

What was that sound? Probably all the Lebron haters' heads exploding.

I guess it depends on where the defender is. I imagine it gives more protection from help defenders that way. I'd like to see some discussion of this. It seems new and is usually accompanied by a Euro step. Which I also should work on.

Will be fun watching the media worship lebron for the next few weeks/months.

Lebron just showed his lack of class as he jerked away from Duncan like a petulant child. Tim HAD to foul him but yes, let's take it personally. I wasn't rooting for either team until then.

yeah.

you'll need to learn how to fight unless you plan on getting called for traveling every time you eurostep.

Welp, that was worth waking up at 3.

So obviously Lebron is the greatest basketball player ever, is he the greatest team sport athlete ever?

Interesting analogy.
