Eastern Conference Final: [#2] Miami Heat vs. [#4] Boston Celtics

[FirstTimer]

It would be if he didn't guarantee not 1, not 2, not 3...but 8 championships.

He didn't guarantee anything.

 

[Rudi]

I think Lebron comes out again tonight and drops 35+. He's gotta be tired of people hatin on him. Heat W 97-89

 

[Houston]

Boston wins and I get another year of Lebron bashing.


:yeah:

[Juggernaut]

You need to rewatch the rally.

He even jokes around that Pat could throw it up to the basket and he and wade will go get it. Mentions that the game will be easy since he'll be practicing with wade and bosh.

LeBron's an egotist. I can't blame him for becoming an egotist with how the media was on his nuts, but I can blame him for being one.

Umm actually you need to rewatch it. Saying the goal or hope or aim is to win 8 championships is not guaranteeing 8 championships. Get a clue before posting please. K? Thanks. Please point to the part of the rally where Lebron promises or guarantees 8 ships.

In review, Lebron James saying he and the rest of them "believe" the team can win multiple championships is not a guarantee.

Please look up the word "guarantee" and what it means and get back to us.

Guarantee- Something that gives a certainty of outcome

Interview- "You three kings came down here to win championships, not 1 championships-"
LeBron- "Not 2."
Interviewer- "LeBron, tell us about that."
LeBron- "Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7."

LeBron- "And when I say that, I really believe that. I'm not just up here blowing smoke."

If that last line doesn't prove the certantiy of an outcome, then

You're truly a retard. That's not a guarantee. That's a player saying he truly believes a team can win multiple championships. Believing something is not the equal of guaranteeing the outcome. You're a fucking idiot.

 

[FedEx227]

So can we talk about how LeBron and the Heat had a good game and won a big game 7 or do we only become basketball geniuses when he loses?

Thats pretty much the same thing Lebron James said, which you were defending.

mg:

I wasn't "defending" what James said you fucking moron.

I was stating that was James said was not a guarantee. Which neither of the statements are. "Believing" something isn't a guarantee.

If Atlas was in the chatbox saying that he really believes that VSN can become the best site on the web and it didn't end up happening would you take what he said as a guarantee?

If you believe in God is that a guarantee that he exists?

Are posters here still really this dumb?

OK, what Rose said wasnt a guarantee either.

If Rose = egomaniac, then Lebron = egomaniac. Both deserve criticism should they not deliver on their statements.

No fucking shit Sherlock.

Did I ever say it was?

No fucking way?!?!

mg:

That's kind of the idea.

Pretty amazing. In one swoop I've proved you're an idiot(yet again) and Juggernaut is not only incapable of understanding the meaning of the word guarantee but is a hypocrite because I don't recall him busting on Derrick Rose for similar statements.

 

[Juggernaut]

Guarantee- something that assures a particular outcome or condition:
Assures- to declare earnestly to; inform or tell positively; state with confidence to

What LeBron did was assure championships. By assuring championships, he's guaranteeing them.

These are dictionary.com's definitions, I think I'll take their opinion on what a guarantee is over yours.

I would give him shit, I just never heard of him saying these things since he's not on a team I follow. Unlike LeBron, he didn't make these guarantees at a fucking televised team pep rally.

1- I gave you official definitions of guarantee and how they fit. Weakest part of your argument. "OMG he didn't say guarantee so its not a guarantee."
2- Already addressed this issue but LeBron guaranteed it while on ESPN. Derrick Rose said it to a interviewer (supposedly, there's no video evidence).

 

[ZoneBlitz]

FT doesnt even disagree that Lebron should take criticism for his assurances/guarantees, he just wants to get into an endless argument about the word "guarantee"...typical BitchTimer.

Lebron didn't "assure" them of anything aside from the fact that he believes the Heat are capable of winning multiple championships. That's not a "guarantee". Again, if you assure us that you believe God exists is that a "guarantee" that he exists?

If Atlas "assures" us that he believes VSD can become a legit gaming site and it ends up not happening for whatever reason would you get angry and claim that Atlas had "guaranteed" VSD would become teh shitz?

It's cute you keep finding reasons to want to be angry at Lebron but had he done this for/with the Knicks you wouldn't care.

:gooby:

btw, you idiots are arguing semantics... his comments are deciphered differently by each and every person, so arguing about what you think he said is pretty god damn retarded, since almost everyone will disagree on the matter...

Quit being dense.

Assure- to declare earnestly to; inform or tell positively; state with confidence to

LeBron did assure championships. You can not argue this point, it fits the definition, he stated that the Heat will win 8 championships with confidence, proven with his statement that he's not "blowing smoke". LeBron guaranteed championships.

If Atlas "assures" us that he believes VSD can become a legit gaming site and it ends up not happening for whatever reason would you get angry and claim that Atlas had "guaranteed" VSD would become teh shitz?

Yes, I would give him shit for not fulfilling his guarantee/assurance. A guarantee/assurance can become wrong. He would end up looking like an asshat for not filling his promise.

It's cute you keep finding reasons to want to be angry at Lebron but had he done this for/with the Knicks you wouldn't care.

Funny since I've been critical about Melo/Amar'e/Knicks management the past 2 years. But nice grasping at another failed argument.

The only players who should even think of guaranteeing championships are players who have already won it once.
