Basketball nicknames are not what you yourself choose, I played with lots of street legends, if you go around the court saying call me this or call me that, people will humiliate you on the court.  Names are given to you by what you did on the court. If you earned a nickname on the courts, you proved yourself

The chosen one tat he got in high school after sports illustrated did a cover story about him calling him that when he was a junior. A high school kid make a bad decision? Never happens...

The “witness” ad came from Nike- you might want to get with their marketing department and write them a stern letter... Christ pose? Lol, really?

I believe “the king” was his nickname in high school because he crushed everybody... he didn’t think it up. Again, high school kids... my nickname in high school was far dorkier.

I guarantee I’d have a much worse attitude if I was that good and/or had that many people kissing my ass at that age and throwing millions at me. Hell, I had a shitty attitude anyway.

OK, lets pretend the name King James wasn't Lebron's idea.  What about all the Jesus Christ language and imagery?  Also, did someone tattoo Chosen 1 on his back against his will?

This guy has an ego the size of Mars and some of it is downright offensive.  Oh, and maybe he didn't get the memo, but Kings are supposed to conquer........not make excuses about refs and teammates.

How humble were you when SI did a cover story about you at 16?

Is LeBron a marketing/advertising designer at Nike now too? Not sure it qualifies as a “Christ pose” to anyone but you, churchlady...

And to think, David Robinson was “the Admiral”- a rank he never achieved.

Bask in the fountain of boundless butthurt.

Basketball players cannot be timid, it’s about proving yourself, shutting up trash talkers, how many guys have went up to MJ and LBJ and said they were better.

Yes, Christ pose.  Especially when you add the word "Witness" to it which is a concept that is frequently used in Christianity.  Google "Christ pose" and take a gander at what comes up.

The fact that it's a Nike add is no excuse.  If some marketing douchbag tried to nail me to a cross to sell sneakers I'd tell him to go fuck himself.  Adults are accountable for the things that they participate in.  Excuses can take a walk,

Bottom line, Lebron James loves the smell of his own farts.

You are in some serious denial.  That is exactly what is supposed to represent.

Google "Christian Witness" and have a glance at it.

Anyone who ever spread their arms is taking a Christ pose?

Isn’t that special...

I believe Jerry West's best nickname is, Zeke from Cabin Creek.

And you wallow in the land of the permanently offended...

I think you are intentionally denying that which should be obvious to anyone with even half a brain.  Lebron's marketing is loaded with Jesus references.

King James?  Hmmm.  What an amazing series of coincidences.

Omg his mom is in on it too!  The horror!

Please go on!

It’s everywhere!






And speaking of kings...

Speaking of his mom...........

Enjoy watching your false idol take his 6th loss in the NBA Finals.

Elvis was the original King

Larry Bird was the Great White Hope and the Hick from French Lick

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop

James Brown The Godfather of Soul

He is the “Logo” on every basketball

A false idol that almost any team desperate for glory opens their door. Without even the ink drying or his salary discussed The King guaranteed Cleveland $750,000,000.00 in revenue

Hate to disappoint you, beard police, but I’m a Spurs fan.

Omg Christ pose! Idolatry!



Now run along, somewhere women are shamelessly displaying their ankles and leaving their heads uncovered... outrage!

I always thought that Sgt Elias was Christlike

He didn’t come back, though.

He sure did, in other movies

John Lennon said he was more influential than “hay-soos”

How do you Warriors fans/cavs haters explain the no call here?

You mean why didn’t LeBron get a T for being a bitch (instead of giving one to Lue, LOL)?

Because it’s Lebron.

As for the pass, 3 guys went up for the ball, all had equal rights to it. It went off LeBron’s hands and he tripped over another player when nobody had possession of the ball.

BTW, not a fan or a hater of either team. One is just a better team (and the other has the best player on the floor).

uh, no

That was a pass from Love to lebron.  Making lebron the offensive player.  The defense (warriors) has to allow the offense a clear chance to land

They were tangled up before anyone ever got the ball, much less before they landed.

Lol

Here’s a plan: if you want to win, score more points than the other team.

How close do you follow the NBA?

I only ask because the NBA has already came out and said that should have been a foul on the warriors.

Great.

There are dozens of miscalled fouls in every game. LeBron benefits from more than pretty much everybody else.

If they missed that one, big deal - you lost by 19.

If it makes you feel any better you can say you lost by 17.

Thing is, when your team commits the foul, it’s “sheesh, let ‘em play... back in the old days they wouldn’t call that junk”, but when it’s the “other team”, you want everything to go your way.

GS got outplayed and lucky in game 1 (mostly because CLE couldn’t make crucial free throws and didn’t call time out or drive to the rim in a crucial time).

GS beat cleveland’s ass in game 2. You’re crying about 1 call?

Stop crying and get ready for game 3.

I'll admit when Cleveland gets a bad call

But so far in this series how many missed calls, that the NBA has admitted to, have benefited the cavs? It's 0

Lol whatever. Better luck next year.  You have the GOAT, but that bunch of scrubs and mediocre coach aren’t beating this GS team (or Houston).  In a couple years, the 6ers are going to be better than you (especially if LeBron bolts).

IIRC there was a missed goaltending call on LeBron that the officials admitted. Difference? Less crying.

I believe it was all inadvertent contact.
They all went up for the ball and I think it was a good no call.

Now, if they would have called a foul, that would have been ok as well.

Did you see how bummed out James was while sitting there?

He knew JR Swish was an asshole, it’s not the first time Lebron blew his stack with him, guy shoots lights out, just does stupid shit

He looked VERY similar to how I look when I hear a libtard talk.

Game 3 tonight.

Can Cleveland get one?

Never forget, the warriors once blew a 3-1 lead

At home, Cleveland

Warriors start missing 3s

Lebron distributes early, lots of Love along with Klhoe on the offensive and defensive glass

I see the Land beat the Town by at least 3 but maybe close to 8 if the Fab 4 quit

That won't be happening
One team needs to steal one because I want a free Doritos Taco

If Iguodala plays I'll take the Warriors. Other than that it's a toss up.

I hope they all lose

They were getting blown out in 2016 NBA Final, too.

If they do, this is the one.

GS coming off two victories, after winning last year-cocky, complacent, on the road.

Iggy is playing tonight. Another body to put on Lebron.

We've missed him.

why not put perk in to gouge draymonds eye after he did it to lebron?

OMG LEBRON

NBA has to have this go seven.
