see? Kyrie Irving has the skills to elevate his game. pero ayaw nya gawin sa cleveland. i guess gusto nya na talaga umalis dun. wala syang pinapakitang urge to lift his team from mediocrity.

Ang lakas pala ni kyrie sayang lang lagpak cavs nya

Kyrie has always been a great individual talent. Puros highlight film na nga siya. But he can't seem to elevate his teammates. Parang he is a good number 2 option siguro as opposed to being a franchise player.

I am now convinced that the problem is with Cleveland management & coaching.

well yeah. Even Luol Deng who never complained when he was with the Bulls already had some negative comments on the Cavs management less than a month as a Cav. But even so, the management and coaching staff can only mess you up so much. It is still upon the actual player to perform every single night. As I've seen Kyrie in a few Cavs game I watched, he completely becomes passive or disappears from the game altogether. He is a professional and regardless if his team totally sucks, there is no reason for him to not bring his "A" game on a nightly basis. So really, the problem also lies with Kyrie himself.

Kyrie is a PG, the reason why he excelled in ASG earlier today is because the teammates he passed the ball to can finish well while in the Cavs roster, who? That is also the reason why we see him ball-hogging most of the time, he can't find somebody & the defense collapse on him. The changes in the roster & coaching staff messed up the chemistry of the team as well. His fault is he is not vocal enough to say how he feels.

Nope. I still maintain, this one is on Kyrie just as much as it is on the crappy Cavs management. As much as I dislike Lebron, he never took a night off even though he had subpar talents around him. Kobe, when he had Smush, Chris Mihm and Kwame freakin Brown on his team never took a night off.

I'm talking about that constant drive to bring your "A" game every night. If Kyrie is as talented as people make him out to be, then he definitely has no excuse whatsoever to not play as best as he can NO MATTER WHAT. I don't see him bring his "A" game every night. He can pout as much as he wants to but he is a professional who needs to do his job.

Hopefully, this ASG revitalizes him and gives him enough motivation to actually play up to the level that people expect him to play.

What's so shocking? Lebron brought his "A" game every night.

Ilgauskas, Donyell Marshall, Boobie Gibson, Larry Hughes, Mo Wiliams (his number 2) and other subpar talents. LOL. Only blind haters will say that those were very talented guys

hehe now I'm lost. It's either he doubted my statement na Lebron brought his best every night or that the talent around him was terrible. Or both?

Either way, didn't Lebron bring it every game when he was in Cleveland and didn't he play with lackluster talents?

***i understand the knock on Lebron na nawawala during 4th quarters of crucial Finals games nung nasa Heat though. I'm referring to his Cavs stint na ang sagwa ng situation nya but he did not decide to take a night off like Kyrie does in Cleveland.

rexFi · « **Reply #2237 on:** Feb 17, 2014 at 04:37 PM »

Until now, off night for LBJ still means a more than average game stat. That still count as an A game.

Bill Russell response to LeBron James:

"Thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. I'm glad you did. Basketball is a team game, it's not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in high school, back-to-back NCAA championships in college. I won an NBA championship my first year in the league, an NBA championship my last year and nine in between and that Mr. James is etched in stone"

Guys like Bill Russell and Kareem usually don't get the props that they deserve. They were not flashy players kaya hindi masiyado maaalala yan. Pero they really were great players that should never be overlooked.

Well, just like LBJ he needs to team up with one or a couple of star players to maximize his talents. Kyrie to the Lakers and teaming up with Kevin Love and Kobe sounds good to me

With Kobe's salary, the Lakers can only afford one other max player. Then the rest of the line up would be 1 MLE, rookie contracts and vet minimum players.

happy 51st g.o.a.t.!

From fb- The Jordan Era Bill Russell Has Great Response to Being Left off LeBron
James' Mount Rushmore Hey, thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. I’m glad you did. Basketball is a team game, it’s not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in high school, back-to-back NCAA championships in college, I won an NBA championship my first year in the league, an NBA championship in my last year, and nine in between. That, Mr. James, is etched in stone.

LeBron James"Well, obviously, (I have) the utmost respect for Bill Russell, and what he's been able to do. Not only just
on the floor, but off the floor, too. Being a pioneer that helped me get to this point, he paved the way for myself
and guys who came after him. Hopefully I continue to do (that) for the guys who come after me. But for me to comment on his comments, I really don't want to do that. He has his own opinions, he is his own man. I'm my own man,too." "It's a true statement. I mean, the facts are the facts. That's what I believe in myself. Once again, these are my personal goals. I don't care where no one puts me as far as best ever, or analysts, or so-called gurus of basketball place me when I'm done. These are my personal goals. I believe I could be one of the best, if not the best, to ever play this game. And that's my personal goal. If someone wants to throw dirt on my personal goals, then they have a problem, not me."

I replied- lebron =cabron, goat not g.o.a.t. & other meanings apply too

oweidah · « **Reply #2248 on:** Feb 18, 2014 at 02:33 PM »

Finally, being put on Mount Rushmore requires more than
sheer basketball greatness. It also requires character, class
and an ability to be modest and gracious.
