LaDainian Tomlinson Appreciation Thread

[Street Knowledge]

One of the GOAT RB's

 

[Bomberman]

First cat with over 100 catches and 1000 yards in a season. Dude was one the best I've ever seen and one of the primary reasons I became a Chargers fan. Also could throw some clean passes too.

Norv Turner ran that team into the ground, and many people even unfairly started to blame LT for it.

a real role model

those cuts*

Obligatory

 

[Ice Water]

It was unreal how good this cat was, he could take a beating too for being a smaller back. He had hands, speed, shiftiness, and seemed like a great teammate. Only knock I got against him was dude would get injured at critical times. Like the damn playoffs.

I always thought its kinda interesting in sports when player enters the league, and you watch him develop, and that epiphany moment when youre like, shyt this guy will be a hall of famer

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Dude was simply the greatest of all time. I don't give a fukk what you nikkas say. Only sports cat that was a role model for me growing up.

I used to put him on the Skins before starting my Madden Franchise

He reads the defense

yo that's where jim rome get's the "we don't like that call" when he hangs up on a caller who sucks. Got to see him play in person when my dad had tickets to the jets games in 2010-11. Guy was flat out electric no pun intended. Really wish they could've beat the steelers in 2010. Would've been nice to see him and Jason Taylor get to play for a Lombardi trophy, especially after seeing his 2001-8 run. as good as any football player ever at his peak.

That jump cut was

Put on the most dominant senior bowl performance I ever saw. Made the seniors look like kids, he was that dominant

 

[Bomberman]

Just want to throw LT's record-setting season for a reference in comparison to Adrian Peterson's insane comeback season.

I know it's not basketball but dude averaged 14.6 PPG by himself that season, better than two other teams' totals (Bucs and Raiders) and league average was 20.6 PPG. shyt was incredible to watch.
