the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

maybe when wade has another couple years on him or has some kind of nagging injury slowing him down enough that lebron can't compensate

Danny Martinez ‏
LeBron has 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists in the first half. Complete list of players who average that per game this season: LeBron James.

xpost rockets too

lebron is a walking inferno

Brian Windhorst ‏@WindhorstESPN
Coming out of time out LeBron looks over to Chris Mullin, who is doing ESPN radio tonight: "I'm just trying to get better Mully."

inspiration for us all

great image that was, lebron w his arms crossed while in background crowd going nuts

these are seriously legendary times w/r/t lebron

he could keep his 60% streak alive tonight while shooting like 5 threes

what's the league record for FG% for someone that's 6-8? lebron's gonna set that record right?

6-8 or under

barkley, bro

Cornbread Maxwell actually holds the record for 6'8 guys but Barkley wins cuz he was "6'6" (irl 6'4)

ah alright i thought barkley was more like 6' 9"

oh, well

that dunk puts lebron over 60% :)

but at this point if lebron got to 60% on the year i wouldn't even be stunned

barkley was like 6'4.5!

shorter than Jordan

and he blows it with the 30 footer! ha wtf

of couse you care, bron

btw thunder 34 fts

unbearable

this is the best valentine's day gift of all

lebron puts up as many points as durant nbd

so where is this lebron season shaping up to stand in single season nba history

just behind Derrick Rose's MVP season imo

has any player in history ever led the league in shooting percentage in the paint and also shot 40% from three?

well, reminder that MJ had 10 triple doubles in 11 games in 1989

well lebron is putting up 8/8 every game so he's not far off

i have pretty much zero doubt that lebron could put up a season of 20-10-10 on 50% shooting

yeah when lebron was coming into the league the general narrative around him was that he would be the 6'8" oscar robertson

deandre jordan just hit the far right side of the backboard on a freethrow.

goin to nets/nuggs tonight

mystery of whether J0rdan has moved yet SOLVED

yup!

THANK gOD i don't have to ask u if u wanna go to the Nets now

how was the barclays

they play rap music DURING THE GAME

barclay's was cool. def a pretty nice arena, not exceptional or anything. as nice as the heat's arena, which is pretty nice.

Love how dark the rest of the arena looks for Nets games on TV ... same effect live? Apparently they have a different lighting system for Nets games, which is supposed to give it a more "theater" atmosphere.

Heh, from the Chamillionaire wiki:

In 2009, Chamillionaire crossed paths with Michael Jordan at a party for the basketball legend after bidding over $7000 for one of his jerseys at a Reggie Bush charity auction. After seeing Jordan posing for pictures with some ladies at the party, Cham tried for his own snapshot with him. "I don't ask nobody for nothin' I never do," Cham retells in a video on his Web site. "I was just like, man, this is just that one moment. I'm gonna ask Mike for a picture." The rapper approached Jordan, who was sitting next to filmmaker Spike Lee and members of the Boston Celtics, including guard Paul Pierce. "They were just chilling and I said, 'I don't mean to be rude, but Mike, I just wanted to know if I could get a picture." Although Cham was expecting to get a "No" from him, he wasn't expecting what Jordan actually replied; "I ain't taking pictures with no niggas!" Chamillionaire thought that Jordan didn't hear him properly and explained that he just paid $7000 for one of his jerseys. Jordan responded; "You know what, I tell you what, you pay $15,000 right now for a jersey from me and I'll take a picture with you."[52]
Cham charges that he's "never been so heated" in his life. Pierce even tried to chime in. "Paul Pierce was like, 'Yo, whoa, chill out. That's Chamillionaire, man," the rapper continued. Jordan didn't budge and retorted with an "I don't give a fuck, nigga!" Chamillionaire then turned to Spike Lee, shook his hand and said "It's all good." Describing Jordan's A-list entourage upon his departure, Cham said they "all just had that look like, 'That's just how Mike is."
Chamillionaire excuses Jordan's "most rudest" behavior by reasoning that "this dude must feel a certain way inside, where he just be treating people like that." Nike and Jordan apparently tried to apologize by sending Cham jerseys and shoes. Cham says he lost respect for the legendary basketball player following the ordeal, allegedly responded to the peace-offering by saying, "No, nigga."

yeah it's completely dark in the arena, i didn't notice it after a few minutes xp

the one thing they do that i haven't experienced is play music during every single possession. i think they have to be the only team that does that.

that Cham story O__o

lakers do this at staples, clippers dont.. very different looks.

Yeah, I think I read that they patterned it after the Lakers, although I couldn't remember if it were the Forum or Staples (never seems as dramatically dark as Barclays).

btw Valentine's Day did not escape Parslin:
