Oh yes, you're right. I shouldn't have judged on a message board. What kind of person would ever judge someone on a message board? I was definitely out of line. I guess I'm just a douchebag and should take my ****ty legacy with me. I certainly don't know ~O~ like he personally knows LeBron James. Carry on ~O~. Your profanity-laced tirades against the world's most popular and influential sports figure are undoubtedly very apt. I mean, what has LBJ even done? If surviving and escaping abject poverty after being raised by a single parent, all while achieving national recognition and fame as a teenager and somehow still surpassing all expectation is "hard" -- then, gosh, do people have it easy these days. The tens/hundreds of millions of dollars he has raised/donated to charities, schools, extracurricular programs, and entrepreneurial enterprises are just meaningless too. His recent public political stances are, quite frankly, an attack on my whiteness. A black man using his platform to stand up and empower others in a meaningful way? I wish he would just shut up and dribble. Sorry for the way I responded initially, ~O~. And more importantly, sorry for offending you, TrueMagicFan07. I didn't think it through earlier but now I have. Down with LeBron!

He's such a baller, you've got me sold man

So you have to have been homeless to be a good role model? Got it.

There is more sportsmanship and buddy-buddy behavior now amongst athletes than ever before. Wouldn't someone who is old school prefer the opposite? Also, teams don't generally shake hands after every game in a 7 game series; usually only at the conclusion. I agree with All Eyes On Me that this critique going around is confusing.

Problem is a resigned Gordon, resigned Kemba, resigned kawhi, batum, biyombo would cost us roughly a trillion dollars in 19-20

Don’t know why everyone is so worked up over this. This is common in the playoffs. If they lose the series and he storms off, then it’s a story, until then just let it go.

Can we just win the lottery? I'd feel much better about doncic vs agonizing over the weaknesses of whatever guy we pick at 5 or 6.

This is a weird thing to get hung up on

Mark Jackson count up to 2.

Mark Jackson and Fisdale are two coaches I would not mine seeing. I would like to see what Mark can do with Trae Young and Gordon. (Golden state of the East coast)

“I’m not a guy that wants to play for many teams. I want to play for one team. I really want to make it work with the Orlando Magic,” -Mario Hezonja

And that's all show You can judge me all you want. Feel free to do so continually because YOU HAVE THE RIGHT. I.am.not.immune.to.criticism. You were completely justified. I will continue to light LeBron James up. I'll admit this also, Jordan is completely guilty of the same promotion LeBron gets but at a different era when it was less evolved. Of course LeBron is the most influential person in sports. How do you think he's masked real self? LeBron has a team around him that put out the right type of influence and put his money in the right places to give this illusion. He can have the final say where his money goes but you already know yourself he doesn't do this alone. You can come from poverty all you want and still be a ****. Hell, people in poverty can be cunts. Who you are truly shows when no one is looking. Everyone is always looking at LeBron James and he hasn't changed much from being the trash can and chair kicking entitled **** that he truly is. He suppresses it when it's convenient for his brand so he can donate to charities, schools, extracurricular programs, and entrepreneurial enterprises. Its cynical. They won't dare let no one mess with this brand otherwise, they'll destroy them. Kevin Durant. Don't mess with people's money. I know you've all seen "American Psycho"...and its important to know these type of people have evolved. And no I'm not saying that LeBron killed someone...but who knows....honestly......................................................lol. Umm...frank underwood. But to be serious, I meant character wise and to a lesser extreme. I've met people like this who work for ABC and CBS. I personally don't believe in celebrities being role models. I prefer educated people being better role models. Unfortunately they don't have the following because people see their work as tedious and unstimulating. Sports players, musicians, and media actors are easy to follow because they do things that are of the arts and of the physical variety. I don't even watch tv because of it. Instead, I like to see what type of person these people truly are. As Rick Sanchez said in the show: People similar to Sam Harris, Jordan B Peterson, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Dennis Prager, Ben Shapiro, Michio Kaku, Richard Dawkins, Alan De Button, Elon Musk and satoshi nakamoto(?) should have more influence to me. I'd even Argue that Michael Stevens (Vsauce), John and Hank Green, Derek Muller(Veritasium), CGP GREY, and Kurzgesagt's entire team are more influential. I even spoke to a valencia professor in all advance mathematics(trigonometry, calculus, computational statistics) and he even broke it down in statistics how tuition is slowly rising for community colleges using simple illusive tricks in mathematics to make it is gradually go up thanks to our educators dumbing our people down. Its only an illusion that community college is cheaper but this is one in many illusions in everyday life. More positive influence to me for telling the truth and breaking it down with mathematics. LeBron and his is a simpler illusion to see through. These are people who had facts that conflicted and challenged my opinionated beliefs which are subject to change because facts don't care about feelings. LeBron is throwing a ball through a hoop...just like STEPHEN CURRY...VICTOR OLADIPO and everyone other player does. They haven't done even anything remotely more educational to me then the groups and individuals I mentioned above. That's not to infer that they all aren't educated people but they are straw men compared to who i mentioned. A few players in our league are distinct just by the way they project themselves to me. Oladipo and Stephen Curry are very articulate with their carefully worded responses and are very aware of what's going on but mask that to avoid conflict because they know the media won't side with them. I can tell they are very educated. Because of those educators above, I don't think about "race" because there's only one race. We're one species of animal. One of the biggest weaknesses of humans is tribalism (race is a tribe) as I mentioned consistently in my posts. Its why we humans are so today stuck in an irreparable social structure of our own natural creation. I've overcome this type of damaged way of processing but not completely(lol) since I can't truly completely destroy my humanity. I don't see LeBron as another "brown man". I see him as another man. Trump is just another man also. Everyone who post here is another man (OR WOMAN! Calm down!). Unfortunately, this isn't consistent through the world..as once again...humans have done irreparable damage to their own social habitat.

It truly sounds like Mario wants to be here. That would make me :D The loooong Orlando Magic- Draft one of the 6'6 PGs, Mario, Isaac, AG, Bamba or JJJ DJ, Ross, Simmons, 2nd rounder or FA, Birch Get rid of everybody else and sign some decent vet fillers for salary. I'd keep Mo Buckets for as needed possible 3 storms. No more 5 man subbing. Sub in 1 at a time as needed.

1 pick before Tankathon projects Jalen Brunson to go.

How many millions does a KID really need LOL

Can we sign him to a 1 year contract with a wink? He said he wants to be here and he does know how much we can pay. To quote myself from earlier, how many millions does a kid really need?

Google him and find out some info

I know who he is as a player. That is not the question nor my concern. What is it that you like about his coaching abilities that are above other good options out there? If we are making a decision on what goggle says then we have real problem.

I don't consider that an issue anyway. In the minutes he played Isaac didn't show me anything special. For some reason this board has him pegged as DPOY but even if that does happen that is 4-5 years away at best. let him prove he can be healthy for a season first...
