 Watching LeBron, on a break, near the top of the key, throwing a chest pass to a teammate running about 10 feet from him with no defenders in between them. Hearing the announcers claim that LeBron pass was "just like ones Magic used to make".

TP for reminding me. I was watching the top ten plays one day and the 2nd best play of the day was a 2 on 1 fastbreak where lebron simply throws a fairly accurate bounce pass to wade for an easy dunk and all heck breaks loose with comparisons such as "magic johnson-esque" or "best passer since bird". makes me sick

Skip Bayless is second to none in the annoying department at ESPN. There has to be reason for everything with that guy. He'll knick pick anyone to death.

Chris Broussard's love affair with the Heat. I wish someone could just wake him up and tell him it's only the regular season.

Skip Bayless is fun as the anti-Lebron guy.  First Take is going to be must-see TV after every Heat playoff loss to hear Bayless talk about the man he calls "Prince James".

I figure this happens enough we could start putting together a list.

For example, this morning, since four Lakers scored in double digits, they called them the "Big 4".

Really? 

Has Bynum done anything to be considered big anything?  Hasn't Artest talent slide from the fringe all-star days?

OK, rant over. 
Has Bynum done anything to be considered big anything?  --> he's gotten injured on a regular basis so yes, he's considered a big tease. 

they called them the "Big 4".  --> yup, Laker Big 4: Kobe, Pau, Odom and Khloe  ;D

Lol bro, are you actually going there? Bynum is no Olajawon or Shaq, but he's a decent to good true center with great size, in a league where there are few. It's not a question of if he's good, it's if he is healthy, which he has not been. Also, not saying he's not injury prone, but a lot of his injuries have been people falling on his knee, etc.

The Lakers have a Big 3: Kobe, Gasol, and Odom.  Those 3 are all legitimately All-Star caliber players.

Bynum is not on the same level, and does not make a big enough impact to be considered a "big" anything except for in size.

No Odom.


It was Artest listed.

Yeah, and that's absurd.  But the Lakers do have a Big 3.
