Cavs fan here. It's payback time, Boston. We've been waiting 5 years for this...

[mgent]

Good evening Boston. My name is Kevin Dasd. I am Northeast Ohio's most well liked and respected sports fan. Now that the introductions are over, let's get onto business...

Boston, let's get one thing straight right now. Cleveland hates you. We view you as a spoiled sports city, that doesn't deserve half of the great things that have come your way. And now, I am pleased to announce that it's payback time.

We all remember the scene in 2010. Lebron walking off the court in Boston and yanking off his Cavaliers jersey--tossing it in the laundry bin just inside the tunnel. That was a very rough day for Cleveland sports fans. We just lost to a city that we despise and we all pretty much knew that Lebron was going. Oh how things have come full circle.

I didn't plan on registering here, but these threads make me sick. Do you people think you're really going to take us 6 games? Heck, some of you arrogant Bostonians actually think you can win this series. These games aren't even going to be close. This is Cleveland's time to shine. We have the best Big Three in the modern era and if any of these games are within 15 points, I'll be shocked.

And finally, I want you all to remember one thing. Even after we smash you in this series, Cleveland will still hate you!


-Dasd

Best big 3 in the modern era?  Hahahahahahahahah.  That has to be the saddest thing I've ever read.

These games aren't even going to be close eh?

Sorry Cavs fan, but it's payback time.  Celtics are back home, and you're probably shaking in your boots.

sigh. as i suspected based upon the opening post, this thread is pretty much filled with taunts and baiting. any chance we could let this thread pass or provide more civility?

Egocentric is the word for the day.

Egocentrism is the inability to differentiate between self and other.[1][2]

Although egocentrism and narcissism appear similar, they are not the same. A person who is egocentric believes they are the center of attention, like a narcissist, but does not receive gratification by one's own admiration. A narcissist is a person whose ego is greatly influenced by the approval of others while an egotist is not. Similarly, egocentrism and absolutism appear to be the same but are not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egocentrism

Most people grow out of it, some sports stars  did not.   They are coddled from a young age and told how great they are and are catered to a great deal.  I think LeBron is very egocentric, and I think this is a reason why I do not like him.   I also am a very loyal fan of Bird, and tend to not like any SF, save PP besides him.

While I think he is a great player, I think the league is more about marketing their guys these days are the star calls are worse than in previous areas.   Jordan, Bird, Magic routinely got mugged on shots.   DET had a whole system of the Jordan rules, where they systematically play him tough and contest every shot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Rules

LeBron has always got away with more than others.   He was annointed as the games savior from the get go.   He has rarely been gracious in doing so, but that does not take away from what he has done on the court.  I think his time is coming to an end, he has 3-4 more seasons in him and I think the great physical gifts will start to decline and some new star, maybe Davis will take over as the chosen one.

I blame ESPN for a lot of the hype too.

Strange. We don't actually think about Cleveland all that much, and when we do it is with a bit of curiosity. Like "Oh yeah, I remember that third cousin of mine. I wonder what he's up to these days?"

It's quite the inferiority complex.

Dude....seriously. Your happy that your beating a way less talented team? This isn't the 2008 team so there's no payback...in that era we beat you. We're rebuilding, you're contending...where is the payback?

[Kevin_Dasd]

Look. I'm not going to sit here and take this disrespect. I'm a message board legend and like I said before, it's not everyday a poster with my stature comes to a small time forum like this.


I either start getting the respect I deserve, or I'm gone.

Promise?

I mean a real pinky swear for reals promise.

Promise?

   I have to give it up to the mods, if we had a troll like this on the Cavs board he would of been banned in two seconds. It is funny seeing A Cavs fan trying to smack talk, it's similar to that nerd in gym class finally standing up for himself after the tenth swirly. You get em Tiger.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, then.

It's insane that I even have to reiterate this but respect is earned, not demanded. And it certainly appears that nothing you've done on here is earning respect although color me impressed by your Tommy Point count.  A whopping 60 followers on Twitter too.  Very impressive for a legend like yourself.  Quite the following you have.

It's cute that you think you're a big deal, though. 

[Lucky17]

So, if I understand the distinction correctly, Kevin_Dasd is a narcissist, not an egocentric?

[Celtics4ever]

You can google him he is universally reviled.

if you think his post here was funny, him pretending to be Plunk was a riot and beyond pathetic

I wouldn't take it as sincere, I think that's his shtick.  Picture LarBird33 with an inferiority complex and a lot of cocaine.  (sorry LarBird, you know we love ya)
