Rome was just talking about LeBron James and how he demonstrated that he is no Michael Jordan by passing the end-of-the-game last second shot off to a teammate instead of taking the shot himself. Rome is a complete ass. How can someone who purports to have a deep knowledge of sports make such an idiotic comment? Has he never heard of John Paxton and Steve Kerr? Jordan in fact passed off a last second shot not once, but twice, to the aforementioned players, during the post-season.

 

Oh, update, 12:20--now he's mentioning Paxton and Kerr, someone must have clued him in...starting to backtrack slightly...but he's still sticking to his take! Ah, he's "in that situation, he has to take the shot". Um, Jordan did so "in that situation" you dumbass. He's stuck, he made his signature 'take' and now he can't back off it. Hilarious. Yeah, better move on to the O.J. suit story.

 

Speaking of sports talk show hosts, they really are all a bunch of extremely jealous wanna-bees. Guys who played in high school and could never make it to college or the pros. So they end up talking about it instead of doing it.

 

And most of them (not all by any means) no very little about breaking down sports and being knowledgeable about which team or player is better, etc. The PTI guys are a prime example--they know nothing about sports. Now, I don't either, but I can tell when someone else doesn't. Yesterday they said if the Pistons shut down LeBron James, they win, guaranteed. Well, they nearly lost and James had 4 points total I think, no more than 6 for sure. The Cavs were winning at one point by 10 or 12, with James at that point below 4 points.

be fair, ST...they were down by 2, take it to the hole, force OT, get the win there.

 

kinda similar to when the Pacers ousted the Knicks in the 95 playoffs when Ewing bumbled a finger roll as opposed to throwing it down.

I agree Lushus, as I was watching I thought, damn! come on bro, drive in there and tie the game. But I don't agree with Rome when he says that this proves he's no MJ. Ridiculous take because of the obvious example of MJ doing the same thing in an important post season game. You can argue that he should've taken to the hole himself, without going down that road.

 

And it wasn't a terrible play--it was obviously drawn up by the coaches. James baits them with the misdirection, whatisname gets WIDE open for a 3, he's their best 3 shooter. But yes, I wished he would have taken the shot himself and see whats what in overtime.

the thing is, MJ had established himself by the time he was doing all those dish-offs you were mentioning where as LeBron still has something to prove...plus, he's famous for making others around him, LeBron has yet to do that. Others have to be better only when he's sucking.
