I will just laugh at them. That's essentially what you're saying.

Winning a championship is the absolute pinnacle of team sports.. but that doesn't mean individual talent has to be based on championship success because let's face it.. Jordan is the best ever, but he also has a supporting cast that complemented his game perfectly. Barkley carried a pretty shitty Suns team on his back to the Finals, and what? Because he couldn't beat Jordan, he isn't an all-time great? That's the biggest load of horse shit I've ever heard in my life.. everyone that says you need a championship and **STATS** to be a truely great player is just incapable of watching and interpreting the game of basketball. Would Larry Bird not be a true great if he didn't fuel the Celtics to championships in the 80s? How about Magic? How about Dr. J? That's just bullshit. A championship just adds to a single player's accolades and accomplishments; it does not make them or break them as a true "GREAT." To think it does is just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

"Pooh, you can't read."

Is that why I can tell you I think you're wrong, only for you to repeat the same bullshit over and over and over again?

KEEP TO THE TOPIC AND LAY OFF THE PERSONAL INSULTS - Dallas-Mavs.com Mod
Whatever dude... I am going to play VERY nice today because of the mod warning in your post... Normally I would rip you a new cornhole, but frankly, your not worth it!!! If you don't get what I'm trying to say, fine... I dont have to have every person on this board agree with me, (wouldn't that make for shit conversations), so again, whatever!!!

By the way, lets make a pact... If you want to rip me or be overly sarcastic about something I have said, please do so in PMs, and I will respond accordingly... If you continue to chime in with your "funny" comments about what I have posted, we will continue to drag every thread down that we post in... So how about we just play nice in public for all the kiddies to see and then whenever we need to, we can tell each other how we really feel in PMs...

Sound good???
I don't get why you don't understand that I too have the right to my own opinion. You think that since I don't agree with what you're saying, it means that I can't comprehend it. That's the only reason you piss me off sometimes.
