I remember seeing this a year ago. Cleveland fans then: "Don't jump to conclusions so abruptly." Cleveland fans now: "Yeah, fuck that guy!"

We were just trying to hold on to something. I hate him now, but with him, it was the first time in a long time that Cleveland sports teams have gotten close to a championship. Sigh, there's always next year.

That's not much consolation. This year's draft is gonna be a bust.

[–]poncythug 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Potentially getting both Kyrie Irving and Harrison Barnes or Terrence Jones? The draft may not be deep but it's considered about a 7 man draft and we have 2 picks likely in the top 7 or 8. I'll take my chances, scouts are wrong an awful lot, just ask Sam Bowie.

[–]manusevil 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No one denied Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Hakeem Olajuwon were special players, though. Sam Bowie proves that scouts can overestimate potential, not underestimate it. The better analogy to support your point uses a player from that draft who people didn't expect to play Hall of Fame ball: John Stockton.

I dont understand though. Whats the point of winning a championship if the people who win it are douches? i thought the whole reason behind sports teams were to make the hometowns feel good about themselves being represented

I used to love reading quotes when I was a kid, and the site I went on always labeled it at -Anon. For the longest time I thought Anon was some dude -- like Aesop.

I was in the car one time with my friend and his dad, and they said a quote I had read, and I replied "That was by Anon! He said a lot of cool stuff!". They looked at me and then laughed :[

[–]huckleberrysawyer 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha, this is such an awesome no-way-I-thought-I-was-the-only-one moment. I would see Anon in poetry anthologies and quotes, and I imagined him as some Hellenic sage from the earliest times of Athens.

Then he suddenly showed up in the letters page of my favourite gaming magazine, and I found it odd that such a learned intellectual would offer his opinions on the latest Sonic game. So I asked my dad, and he told me 'Anon' just meant the name of the person who wrote something isn't known. I thought it was a rather dull end to a fun mystery.

"proverb" is not an actual person. A proverb is a short, quotable, meaningful saying. The use of proverb in this instance merely states to the reader that what they just read was, in fact, a proverb. It does not mean, in this instance, that a person called "proverb" is responsible for the quote.

I tried to say something similar once about how people treat each other in online games...

There's a quote that goes along the lines of "A nation can be judged on how it treats its weakest members".

I think a similar philosophy can be used for the online world: Give a person anonymity and take away the real world consequences of their actions, and that person can be judged by how they treat others under those conditions.

Boy did I get downvoted.

I was actually a demi-Canadian at the time it was called "Real American Heroes" and I just learned a couple years ago via my boyfriend the reason why they changed it. (And that they changed it at all, since I didn't move back til a few years later, so I just though it was always "men of genius")

To be completely fair, tennis players do the exact same shit to ballboys. "Meh, I don't like this ball so let me toss it in the opposite direction."

Having been a ballboy, it felt awkward if they tossed it directly to me and I didn't have to hustle to get it.

I used to work in a shoe store in a cleveland area mall and when he came in he was a dick and woulnt sign autographs for kids or anything. i saw lots of basketball players come in and they were all nice. hell, even ochocinco came in once and stayed for 20 minutes just taking pics and signing autographs

[–]U2_is_gay 94 points95 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Apparently Chad is a real down to earth guy. His ego stays on the field.

Example:

Chad Ochocinco didn't hold a grudge against Patriots fans this week just because Cincinnati played New England -- in fact, Chad singled out one Pats season ticket holder and bought the guy the dinner of his life. The lucky fan is a dude named Will Ditullo -- a die-hard Pats supporter who built a friendship with Ochocinco through Chad's iPhone app. After learning that Will recently lost his mother to diabetes ... Ochocinco made an effort to connect with the guy in Boston before the game. We're told the two met up at a fancy restaurant near the Bengals' hotel in Boston -- and Will had the "night of his life" ... in which the two talked about everything from sports to how he coped with his mother's death. Of course Chad picked up the bill -- but you can't really put a price on a night like that.

Granted it made the papers, and you can say its all for publicity, but whatever. This is far more than most athletes do. A lot of athletes have their various charities that they've set up around the community, and so does Chad, but I think the fact that he adds such a personal touch, and goes out of his way to do things completely unprompted is great.

He made that list of most hated athletes recently. The guy actually is misunderstood, unlike a plethora of other athletes who do bad shit and blame it on everyone but themselves.

[–]mister-bizarro 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My sister in law sent him a joke trash talking message when the Bengals were playing in Baltimore on Twitter. He ended up giving her tickets for the game for them and their kids. He met them in the lobby of his hotel and spent an hour or so talking to them and posed for a ton of pictures with my niece and nephew. Apparently he does that sort of thing all the time which in my opinion makes him awesome even though I don't like all his crazy antics.

When this was posted on reddit before, someone mentioned that people have a tendency to make a snap judgement on character based on an action without fully understanding the situational context that could've caused the action. It's a cognitive shortcut (association bias?). Maybe he heard that ball boy saying bad things about his mother before hand.

[–]shitfaceddick 117 points118 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He could also be blind, without us knowing, yet he plays perfectly but didn't see the guy. He could also...

Wait, the foundation of a decision is to weight it out and find the most reasonable. It's not reasonable to assume that the ball boy said something bad about his mother so his actions stand as annoying. It's not a bias, it's a rational decission that we all make all the time.

When you read my comment, you assume that the words I used means the same thing as they do in the dictionary etc.

You also have to take the video description into account. The title could be simply "LeBron mistreating ball boy" which is true, but then the video description might be like "LOLHAHA" or "He is a moron."

Also, apparently the majority of the YT crowd does not understand this concept. To the point that YT might have to do something other than thumbs up and down.

This is definitely a problem. Thumbs up and thumbs down effectively mean other people should see this, but it feels weird thumbs upping a video of Libyan protesters being shot at, even if it might boost it up the charts.

The correct (but not convenient to the need to complain about everything) answer is that players are always messing with the team "helpers", a mild form of hazing. The helpers love every minute of it, they get to run errands for NBA players (and get tips, from what I've read).

This is very true.

When I was a bartender at a country club one of the children of the members was a Yankee bat boy.

He would either get ~50-100/game from each player in cash, or a SOLID end of year tip from other players.

Those kids made fucking bank.

And of course he was the son of a country clubber. They should give bat boy jobs to Bronx kids who live near the stadium and could use the money.

That is dumb. I worked as a batboy for a baseball team, and no, we didn't love having to chase down equipment when they were too lazy to bring it back into the clubhouse after a game. There will always be nice guys and douches on a major league team, but the douches are real douches, esp. Mark Texeira, that guy is a superdouche!

Hey, there's nobody more excited than me for the playoffs this year. I have a friend who's a big Lakers fan, and I'd pay anything to see them go down this year. Plus, as a lifelong Bulls fan, I don't want to see Kobe complete a second three-peat

While i don't follow basketball, so i don't know if that guy's a giant douche or not, to be fair, he might not have actually noticed him or noticed what he was doing.

I wrestled, and i have done almost this exact thing. Someone comes over and stands next to me right before a finals match, while i'm trying to get my head right, and i really will just barely notice them. Then when i take off my stuff and toss it into a little pile where it will be safe until i get back, if they're picking it up, i might not know at all. It wasn't at all about disrespecting anyone, i was just completely focused on the match ahead, and i had made a plan of how things were going to go up to the match and i wouldn't stray from it.

I have no opinion on LeBron, but look at where he's looking... he's probably 2 feet taller than this kid, looking up at the crowd, psyched for the game, and not even realizing he's there. I'm sure he has a pre-game routine and the pants-collector kid ins't always standing right there, so he's just used to tossing everything... hence why they even hire these kids.

He would have you arrested and get you thrown in prison. Then he would later rape a girl, plead guilty (otherwise the court would find him innocent), and request to be in the same prison as you and then rape your brains out to get even.

[–]WSR 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

why because he wanted to pay attention to the game instead of making the kids job easier. It is easier for the player to just dump all of the clothing in one spot(which he did) then to have to interact with and give the helper each piece while he is trying to get in the mindset to go out and play. After he goes in the helper is then supposed to pick up the clothes.

[–]SamsonAtReddit 12 points13 points ago

Not excusing Lebron for being kinda of a dick here, but just some context. Noah, the center on the Bulls, said before this game that Cleveland sucks several times. He was saying who would want to live there, its shit. So I can kinda see Lebron being a dick from that point forward when playing in Chicago. Personally I would have taken it out on the b-ball court though.

Edit: Noan is on the Bulls. This was last years playoffs, and this was the first game in Chicago (game 3). So yeah, he's taking it out on the helpers.

I think it is possible that the kid was new and he could have just been fucking with him. Like some kind of hazing or something. Unless he and the kid just didn't get along, I don't see why he would do that intentionally.

Here we begin on a low angle shot of LeBron James taking his warm up pants off. As he motions to hand them to one of the trainers he pulls them away at the last second and throws them on the floor. He then pulls off his long-sleeved blue shirt and as the trainer motions to grab it, also throws it on the floor. He then begins to walk away from the trainer and the camera person as the camera pans and follows him to our right (LeBron's left). LeBron then removes a second shirt and casually tosses it behind him, again on the floor where our beleaguered trainer again leans over to pick his clothes up off the floor.

From this we can gather LeBron James has either very poor depth perception, thought the trainer was his mother and believed himself to be no more than 6 years old, or is a total douchenozzle.

Occam's razor would suggest the latter.

Read this again.
