Are the fans who are brainwashed by the lebron James marketing now realizing that it's still Kobe's league?
i never got brainwashed, a lot of ppl did though, not to mention charles barkley is the biggest propaganda spewing analyst on tv!! in his eyes lebron can do no wrong, he can not show up for game 5, he can dance around all game, he cannot have leader skills, he cannot be clutch and in charles' eyes he's still the best thing since sliced bread!! bottom line is he hates kobe!
Why is Kobe Bryant more popular than Lebron James in China?
I am not from China but having Chinese ancestry I can tell you this much: Kobe's philosophy is engrained deeply in Eastern Culture.That philosophy is the insane work ethic, ruthlessness, and discipline needed to succeed in their chose profession. Asian culture emphasizes on sacrificing fun in exchange of success. They also view themselves a bit of an underdog compared to Westerners, hence the overwhelming desire to outperform them from school to business.Kobe essentially lives that way of thinking. The number of hours he practices on a daily basis is legendary. How he expects much from his teammate is exactly how Asian parents push their kids. When he plays, his goal is to win, not to enjoy the game. LeBron on the other hand, has a god-given talent, body, and eidetic memory in the game of basketball. No one will discount LeBron's work ethic, as can be seen in the improvements of his jumper and post-up game. But it is something to be expected of him - he was the most-hyped rookie for the past 10 years and a number one pick! Kobe on the other hand, was just 13th pick. Not really expected to be great. He may have the talent but he has to work double or triple compared to LeBron to get him wherever he is right now.Read the book "Thick Skin, Black Heart" to have an even better understanding of it, and then you can make connections why Kobe is adored in China.Oh and one more thing: it also helps that Kobe's style of play is so graceful like Kung Fu, and LeBron's power play resembles boxing. Food for thought.
Were the Knicks wrong in arresting & ejecting Knicks great Charles Oakley or no?
The New York Knicks season continues to spiral miserably out of control, especially since there was more action in the stands Wednesday night than on the court. Former Knicks forward Charles Oakley was arrested and removed from Madison Square Garden after an altercation in the stands during the Knicks loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Police told ESPN Oakley, 53, bought a seat several rows behind Knicks owner James Dolan and was allegedly directing comments at him about the team's poor play this season.
Would you agree that Kevin Durant and Steph Curry are the best duo to play together on an NBA team ever?
Talk about recency bias!Let me first acknowledge the greatness of this duo. Steph is a 2 time MVP and KD won the MVP in the year prior to that. When KD decided to go GSW (much to my and the rest of the Celtics fans’ dismay), he created a monster of a team. To put it into perspective, Curry has won the MVP for the past 2 years and yet, you could make a strong case for KD to be the best player there. However, is this the best duo ever? I would disagree.MJ and Pippen: Arguably the best duo to have played this game! Pippen’s greatness is often shadowed by Jordan’s.Magic and Kareem: Showtime! Kareem is the all time scoring leader and Magic is magic! They did the unthinkable in defeating that awesome Boston team with Larry and McHale.Shaq and Kobe: Regardless of who you think carried the other, both these guys put up monster numbers. Shaq was just unfair with his physical tools and Kobe was a young athletic 2 who could score in so many ways.John Stockton and Karl Malone: Stockton is the all time assist leader and Malone is the second highest scorer. You could make a case for both of them to be the best ever at their respective positions. Too bad they didn't win it all.Larry and McHale: Larry Bird is the best Small Forward of all time and I could argue that he is the best to ever have played. LeBron isn't going to take that crown from him. Bird could do it all: pass, score, rebound, defend and talk trash! And McHale had post moves that could only be matched by Hakeem. That 1985–86 Celtics team was better than the 95 bulls and 17 Warriors! There I said it.Others to consider:Oscar and Kareem (Lew Alcindor)Shaq and PennyBill and HondoWest and BaylorWhat I am trying to say here is that while KD and Steph aren't the best duo in the history of the league;however, their inclusion in such talks is in itself an accolade of its own.
Can I connect my MP3 player directly to my deh-p6800mp car stero?
I found the best thing since sliced bread...http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9oDEWuNVIo6/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=142FMMOD01 It's not wireless. It feeds your audio signal from a headphone jack ( or RCA cables) by FM modulation, directly into the antenna input on your radio bypassing the antenna when on, allowing the radio to work as normal when off. It comes with an On/Off switch that can used or it can be replaced with a relay powered by the remote wire from the radio (is so equiped). This is the answer. Totally versatile.
I am 5 foot 8 and 14 years old and 4 months. My mom is 5 foot 7 and my dad is 5 foot 8. Is it realistic for me to grow to 6 foot 4?
It is probably not realistic for you to grow to 6 foot 4, but it is possible that you could get a little taller. I have known sons who outgrew their parents, but not by an enormous amount.The likelihood increases if you have other family members or ancestors who were tall, because their genes could show up in you randomly. For example, my family has an assortment of heights, some very tall and others very short. My parents are both average height. It seems that my younger brother got the tall genes, as he is taller than my mother and still growing. I, however, got the short genes and stopped at 165 cm (just about 5 foot 4).So you can see that genetics are pretty random. You never know exactly what might happen. My advice would be to work out and gain some muscle, since strong muscles improve your posture and help you to stand up straight, giving the appearance of more height. Eating less junk and more natural food will give you nutrients (like calcium) essential for growth. Apart from that, the only thing you can do is wait and see.
