Ep. 174: (Blank)

There really are no words.

The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 174 (.mp3)

On today’s show, Skeets and I are awestruck. This was one we’ll remember forever — where were you watching it? How did ‘Bron score at will while playing 1-on-5? Is there a ceiling to this guy’s game? Will his teammates give him a hand in Game 6? And much, much more…

Oh, all that, and we compare LeBron’s actions to Kobe’s words (thanks to Mason Kim in Seoul, Korea).

    if LBJ doesn’t get the Cavs to the finals.. the last 22 minutes of last’s night game doesnt meant shit. The guy still doesn’t play D or have any real fundamentals. Anyway it don’t matter because the spurs are going to win the NBA title. Fuck the rest!!!

    One word: sick.
    Indeed, He has arrived.

    As for Mamba…who’s to say he HASN’T brought his whining to the front office first? I’m guessing when Chris Mihm was playing significant minutes, he was complaining to SOMEONE.
    You had it right yesterday…everything Kobe does is calculating. He is very, very, very aware.

    And did…did you just say “McNice”…?

    The way the Spurs are playing, they lose to no one.

    Kobe may have been complaining in private, Garnett may have as well, but that doesn’t matter now. Throwing out the unwritten rules of keeping what happens behind close doors quiet, and calling out everyone in the organization is bush league. Kobe does calcualte everything - he takes the exact same time as MJ to tie his shoes.

    And, Antonio is very “McNice”. Look at that face.

    “Press the easy button”

    GO CAVS!!

    No doubt, Kobe’s a dick.
    But he is posturing. He knows what he’s doing. That’s not to say he’s going about things the right way, or the honorable way. But petulance works for these guys sometimes.

    So McNice is your type, while Boobie is not. We are learning much about you this week, Tas.

    Oh, and I forgot- fuck the Spurs.

    Just in case some of you (unfortunate souls) gave up on the game last night … Watson’s got the epic live-blog!

  7. Howie at 10:42 am on 06.01.2007

    Montreal + Reggie hilites are like something with some other thing that goes well together.

  8. Tas Melas at 12:03 pm on 06.01.2007

    Who doesn’t like a Boobie that wears a little eyeliner?

  9. J.E. Skeets at 12:52 pm on 06.01.2007

    Scot Pollard played amazing last night.

  10. Matt D at 1:25 pm on 06.01.2007

    15 seconds, one personal foul… how could you give LBJ the fantasy line of the night?

  11. jeffpotts77 at 3:16 pm on 06.01.2007

    What if you’re sick of taking things behind closed doors and then hearing your name being dragged through the mud by “insiders” from your organization, blaming you for everything. Then can you go public?

    LBJ should be banned as a nickname for Lebron. Anytime you share an abbreviation with a lame ass President it can’t be good for a guys rep.

    The King or just Lebron are fine. Bron Bron if your comfortable with your feminine side. Or the New Jordan if you’re comfortable with confrontation.

    Anything else is pushing the nickname acceptability guidelines.

  13. stopmikelupica at 5:03 pm on 06.01.2007

    Lame ass prez? LBJ? Civil Rights Bill, yo. Respect.

  14. stopmikelupica at 5:04 pm on 06.01.2007

    I mean, it’s not like his nickname is Tricky Dick or Van Buren, jeez….

    LeBron is out for dead presidents to represent for him….

  15. KD at 6:23 pm on 06.01.2007

    Great Society, yo. Head Start, yo.

    Tonkin Resolution? Not so much.

  16. Alan at 6:35 pm on 06.01.2007

    Can you please do a whole show in those stereotypical Canadian accents?

  17. Matt D at 6:39 pm on 06.01.2007

    LBJ’s Postmaster General was Larry O’Brien.

    An omen, perhaps?

    I just woke up for Saturday class, forgot it was Saturday, and went for the Jones.
    Now I’m extra sad.
    Stupid weekends.

  19. Sam at 11:51 pm on 06.02.2007

    BOOBIE!!

  20. J.E. Skeets at 3:43 am on 06.03.2007

    I [heart] Boobie[s] …

  21. Miami Party Boats at 12:07 am on 06.12.2007

    Wow, had not seen that billboard of LeBron… that is just fantastic! I want one on my bedroom wall :)
