This is a legal basketball shot that I could never, ever make

    I wish I was 6-foot-8 and 250/275/whatever LeBron is. That's just crazy strength to make that shot effortlessly.

    Stay clear of those Troggles, and you just might grow into that frame.

    Hell, LeBron practically *is* a Troggle. I would need a 10-inch growth spurt in my mid-20s for that to happen...not likely.

    Geez, I can barely make a free throw without embarassing myself. I wonder how many takes it took to get that shot.

    Drink your milk, say your prayers and take your vitamins, and you'll be A-OK.

    LeBron, besides being the freak he is, just gets it. And how fucking money do you have to be to non-chalantly underhand a ball 60 feet and fucking swish it? Shit.

    Reputedly, one.

    But even if it took a hundred takes, he still did something that none of us would be able to do given a thousand takes....or, in my case, 10,000 takes. And I happen to think I'm a half-decent basketball player.

    Can't you just admit you're wrong? He did win the East with a bunch of dregs.
    So he'd be in his second year if he played 4 years of college, would he be a better player? You've move the goalpost so may times on this argument it's ridiculous

    No. I am never going to say that not playing college basketball and not playing in a competetive conference with a competitive league tourney and then the NCAA tourney makes you a better player.

    Sure, LeBron is a success story, but was the league made better by Darrius Miles or Kwame Brown? Do you think they would have ever risen above the D-league if they were forced to play a year or two of college or foreign basketball?

    Am I the only one who noticed/am troubled by the awkward noise Kroft made when the shot went in?

    Wow :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:.

    That was impressive.

    When LeBron first came into the league I wanted so much not to like him, because he was so hyped I thought there was no way that he could live up to it. But I have to admit, he is one of maybe five players in the NBA that I would pay top dollar to see (Wade, Kobe, Howard and Roy being the others).
