Ok, get it out of your system spags. Tell us how much you currently hate Lebron.
I HATE PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL. PERIOD.
I prefer pro basketball to pro soccer. Soccer should be played, not watched.
OOOH! I KICK TEH BALL AROUND FOR 30 MINUTES WITHOUT SCORING—I HAVE TEH ENDORPHINS, YOU HAVE TEH SLIMMEST HOPE SOMEONE WILL SCORE A GODDAMN GOAL.
That said, I could give less of a flying fuck about Lebron.
Net,
Not a good sports fan.
Who wouldn't pick Miami over Cleveland?
throw him to Fred and let us never speak of him again.

People who don't want to pay an additional $1 mil in income taxes.
Yes, but the other option is Cleveland.

You can totally do both if you want.
Of course I understand the lack of desire to watch if you're team's not orange and winning the motherfucking world championships.
As a phoenix fan, i dont care.

actually, FLA has one of the lowest tax burdens of any state, what with having no state income tax and all.
also, LeBron's chance to be the first legitimate "next Jordan" is gone. Jordan never would have gone to a superstar competitor's team.
Kobe is going to use this as serious motivation.
Hmm, I may be taking this way too objectively but I think Mr. James is a very talented player.
(Translation: Sports Politics is something I file under "trivial".)

Who THE FUCK is Lebron James?
No, seriously. Who THE FUCK is Lebron James?
Lebron who?
A star basketball player. I've seen clips of him, at the exhortation of sports people. He's good.

Actually, fan creations, including fan art and fan fiction, often infringe on copyright. If you create a story or picture using copyrighted characters without the author's permission, you've committed infringement. Most artists support the fan community that develops around their work, and chose not to pursue infringers. However, some artists are very aggressive in defending their copyright.

I know this. I've done research as I've done my fair share of fan art. I've also worked at conventions where fan art was present by guest artists. I've done authorized and unauthorized fan reproductions and know the whole rigmarole. I've spoken with Stan Lee, Greg Land, and Steve Sansweet PERSONALLY on their stances on this and have their goddamn business cards in my WALLET. If Jim Henson Studios were to see my avatar, they would FIRST track down the artist about it, chances are I wouldn't be affected.
Dude, I do this shit for a LIVING, and you're going to tell ME what's legal and what's not?! After you blatantly admitted to being a fucking thief and just put your foot in your mouth in the other thread?!

- i don't think i've ever, once, looked at the sports section of the paper. i'll find out about him when he gets busted for something.
FYI, if you look at both the NBA and NFL rates of arrest compared to the rate for the general population, it turns out that pro athletes get arrested less frequently than us normal folks. We're just not as newsworthy.
OUTSIDE
of the ptown blazers, i'm sure that's true. all those overpaid carnival attractions known as "sports stars" have to make it to the "normal" news pages for me to notice them, however.
I DO
now, have an idea of who this lebron person is.
P.D.
- found me in the basement fucking a sock.
in all fairness, it's been many years since they were the Jailblazers. They're actually one of the more respectable, clean-cut, community-oriented teams in all of pro sports these days. Kevin Pritchard is largely to thank for that, so of course they had to fire him as the GM a couple months ago.
Also, don't blame the athletes for being overpaid. If someone wanted to pay me $5 million a year to cook food for them, I wouldn't say "no, that's too much money." We (the public) create the demand which creates the revenue streams which allows for such inflated salaries.
Also also, I sincerely hope that you at least bought the sock some dinner first. It's not just your little whore, you know.

get the sports thing, obviously.
NOW,
the FOOD section - i get it.
AS FOR SOCKS
- i always look for the ones down on the bottom and pretty much finish before anything can actually get started.
nah, they shipped out all of the troublemakers and brought in a classy coach and a bunch of nice kids. There is literally not a single holdover on that team from the "Jailblazer" era.
AS FOR SOCKS
since you're pretty much giving them a reacharound by definition, I guess you can't be accused of being selfish.
