Cavs GM: "look at Cam, he is a leader who doesn't fear any team.....we don't have that"

[THE MACHINE]

I think he cares very much about his pure basketball legacy ... not buying that at all

Absolutely. Especially for a city and organization he clearly feels he is better than.

 

[gho3st]

Who's going to post that Gif of lebron's reaction to gettin the ball stolen from him?

 

[Malta]

Damon Jones to replace David Griffin as Cavs GM


But, you misquoted the shyt out of him

 

[Wargames]

We already know his peers don't respect him but now his GENERAL MANAGER is sending shots at LeBron? My GAWD

Yeah that's the kind of Freudian slip that to me emphasizes that the GM might be fed up with Lebron.

 

[Standing on business]

Legacy probably but I don't think he cares about the Critism like he used to, when you get unfairly criticized for 8 years it's like whatever to him, you see that pat Riley shyt didn't phase him

Criticize him for not evolving his game as he aged, but saying he's scared of other teams? Come on now,


Lebron has been to 5 straight nba finals, including taking the cacs there last year. What is the GM mad about. He better be happy lebron came back.

Agreed, but its different when coming from your GM, rather than someone in the media

Who's going to post that God of lebron's reaction to gettin the ball stolen from him?

A.K.A.

The several stages of grief.

SURPRISE.

OH NO, PLEASE COME BACK, BALL

AW, DAMN

I'LL GET YOU BACK, STEPH

I'm a Lebron fan, but he's right. Dudes like Mike and Kobe had that "I don't give a fukk" attitude when it came to the opposing team and sometimes even their teammates. Bron is sorely lacking in that regard.

 

[KOBE]

Well lets compare:

When Riverboat Ron was about to be fired and needed to be risky he counted on Cam to come through for him on those 4th down plays and ball out. Cam came through for his coach and didn't abandon him and quit on him in order to get a new coach because he wasn't going to let the blame fall on his shoulders like that. He stepped up and helped save his coach.

Lebron quit on his coach since day 1 and never gave him a chance because he wanted his own guy there or nothing.


Who's the leader?

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

Bron been getting shytted on the whole week in the seum

The issue with LeBron is and will always be his streaky jumper, his confidence and approach is directly tied to whether or not his shot is working for that game or series. If the shot is working then everything else works, if his shot is off his teams generally fall apart.

 

[duckbutta]

The fact that we are calling dude "Cavs GM" and not his actual name...should clue us in on who is really running the show here

 

[Dak Pickscott]

Wow

 

[TheNig]

Damn Griffin.... What you say that for ? Now your ass about to be

It's crazy to think that the personality types are so striking when it comes to evaluating people including atheltes. LeBron is classified primarily as ESTP and here's one of their characteristics on the court:

Niednagel all but predicted that Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone would struggle under pressure in the recent NBA finals. He's an ESTP type--Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving.

"He's not predestined to fail in the playoffs, but until he learns how he is wired, he's going to continue to fail," Niednagel says in the den of his Laguna Niguel home.

He says brain types react different, depending on the situation and the sport.

Here's what he wrote about ESTP basketball players, such as Malone, before the NBA playoffs.

"They generally win the beginning rounds of competition, being harder pressed as they approach the pressure-packed national finals."

Niednagel writes that those with Malone's brain type tend to be streak shooters who, "in big games, have a tendency to get too hyped, speeding up the tempo to the point of adversely affecting shots and passes."

vs their ISTP counterparts:

And, the greatest ISTP of them all, Jordan.

Niednagel says ISTPs are the fiercest competitors in sports and respond consistently to pressure better than other brain types.

"There will never be another Michael Jordan unless he's an ISTP," Niednagel contends.

Niednagel says Jordan's rare combination of physical and mental superiority has made him an athlete for the ages.

"I could show you a picture of Michael's brain," Niednagel says. "He's strongest in the right posterior part. His No. 1 gift is spatial thinking. It's his No. 1 cognitive trait. It's what he's seeing now or what he's seen before. He can pick you apart because he has incredible visual memory. He'll just break you down until he's picked you apart."

Unlike Jordan, the Lakers' Bryant is an ISFP--Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving--the same brain type as Scottie Pippen, Jordan's teammate.

Not bad, but not Jordan.

Players with Jordan's brain type are fine-motor dominant, wrist shooters, whose shots consistently hold up better under pressure.
