 Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2006 1:32 am Post subject: Why Is It Okay To Hate Lamar Odom |
|
|
I've got threats in email that I had to stop belittling LG members. But the only reason I do so is because they belittle Lakers players.
Is it okay to call Lamar a dumbie, or a pot smoker, unfairly, and yet not call these guys similar names?
I can go with the flow...but when a fan site protects haters more than players then come to your own conclusion... |

| I don't hate Odom. He does however make some dumb decisions sometimes. He also IS a pot smoker. I mean, I on't hold that against him. Most of my friends smoke a reasonable amount of ganja (and some smoke an unreasonable amount). He is an inconsistent player on a team that needs consistently badly. I don't hte Odom. He's a good player. He may not, however, be the player we need. f the league values him, it might be time to love him. |

I'm sorry.
I apologize for hurting your feelings by talking (bleep) about your uh.... hmm.... hopefully relative because otherwise, your obsession with a mediocre NBA player is downright frightening.
We'll never do it again.
Can I still call him ODumb though? |

Fans need a scapegoat when they lose. Last year it was Chucky. Year before that it was Shaq/Phil. This year its Odom.

No, it's not okay to fantasize that other posters are 13 year old girls.
I imagine that kind of thing could get you arrested... rather quickly. |

| shnb...admit you've never played the game, and that you're just a figment of KA_20's multiple login names, and maybe we can talk honestly between each other.... |

1. Where do you get the idea that posters disagreeing with your ridiculous ideas have never played the game?
2. Let's suppose that you have played "the game," as you like to put it, what's the highest level you have played in that makes you such an expert?
3. Let's suppose that I have never played "the game" ever in my life (again, another one of your ridiculous and assinine ideas; everyone, except maybe those who weigh over 350 lbs. have played the game at least casually).
Who's less qualified to discuss basketball? Someone who claims Odomb is one of the best players in the league, a future all-star, an excellent three point shooter, an excellent defender, etc or someone who has never played basketball in his life?
Sure, a person who has never played basketball in his life may not have knowledge specific to basketball, but seeing as how basketball isn't exactly MENSA, he would be able to understand it well after a year or two of watching basketball religiously. But a person who claims all the things above lacks reason, insight, observation skills, and well who am I kidding... a brain.
I'll take the imaginary fat person who hasn't played any basketball any time over a man who is at least 5 standard deviations below the average intelligence. |

Lamar has been playing like a complete idiot the last 2-3 weeks. He deserves all the criticism he's getting. Dude is getting paid $12 million!
When he starts playing well CONSISTENTLY, then there will be no reason to hate on him. But it is yet to be seen!
BTW: I'll be the first one to jump on his nuts, if he starts EARNING that $12 million dollar check. |

Thanks for refreshing my memory on what I know and don't.
The truth is that KA_2 is no expert on the Tri and has likely never played a game of basketball in his life.
If he has, let's meet up in Venice and play a game. |

Even though I schooled you about the triangle in this thread, which convienently you never responded to?

I already challenged you here, and you have yet again failed to respond.
I swear, this is too easy.

KA_2, of course you "schooled" me in the Tri, since you're such an "expert".
Noone knows who you are, you have multiple troll identities, and you refuse to play an actual game of b-ball.
Forgive me for laughing at you.

I challenged you to a game of ball and you shriveled up like Lamar Odom in the clutch. See my previous post if you need the link to the thread in question.

Come on critical. you challenged someone else too? I thought I was special. i told you if you are so desperate to compete, hit me up. I grew in Venice, I am down EVERY week. early but nonetheless. If theres no room at the walk there are plenty of schools. Just let me know so i have some advanced notice. I prefer outdoor exercise. im not great but who cares
