get at me when LBJ wins defensive player of the year and an MVP in the same season.
dude's got a better body than prime Jordan too and he hasnt done it.

I don't even watch basketball, what the hell?
I suggest grabbing a beer and enjoying the ride.
I think it was a pretty harmless question.
back then players got DPOY based on you know...defense
DPOY now is given to the guy who has the highest RPG/BPG.
LeBron has no chance, it's not really fair to hold him to that.

lol come on, Jordan averaging 3 SPG and 35 PPG didn't get him DPotY over Hakeem and Eaton despite being worse defensively than those guys?
LeBron is a great defender, but he's not as good defensively as KG, Dwight, or Bogut and you can argue about Chandler, Deng, and Iguodala.

How about this one:
1996 Bulls vs. 2000 Lakers
snaq would average 45 and crush luc longley's soul.

that 01 Lakers team in playoff mode would beat any team in NBA history.

Shaq might get suspended for Rodman after Dennis fingers his ass

Being OT's Jimmer Fredette is no easy task. Repping Honor, Truth, Loyalty... people see the brutal truth in my posts and reflect on their own ugly posting styles.
That used to be all that Perkins was good for. Now he can't even do that.
That because he's trying to box out 5 people.
Thats dificult yo, even for someone as wide as him.
if someone told me that ynb was the best rebounder on that team, id have a hard time arguing against them
Durant is a good rebounder. Just not great.
YNB is a good rebounder cause he's loose all over the place. Rondo is a better rebounder though (for PG's).
I'd say collison isn't a bad rebounder, maybe the best at positioning on the team.
i'm just glad you have embraced the best tag on gaf

I know. Another thing Jimmer and I have in common is we aren't legit NBA players.
It's funny you say that. Back in the teamxbox forum days, he was the biggest nintendo fanboy going, lol.

Do you consider me level headed?
Yeah.
I consider most of the heavy posters in this thread to be level headed. Branduil is pretty sane until the Mavericks start dropping winnable games and he morphs into Absinthe.
The Frankman
Banned
I mean when Branduil posts in anime-Gaf. Because his rep seems to be pretty not good. Even his posts in the TOONAMI thread reek of elitism.
He gets to though - in the same way that we do in every semi-basketball related themed thread in the OT. Kobe thread? We're there. Random NBA player doing something stupid? We in dat bitch. Jeremy Lin? LET ME CORRECT YOU, MOTHERFUCKER.
Its the exact same thing. And granted, the lesser informed people say some really, really dumb shit. "Bring back Paranoia Agent, it was such a great success!" "K-On would be awesome on Toonami!" - that shit should be met with whoever has the sharpest sword.

Granted that's probably true (I stopped semi-trolling anime threads since Hito put out a delayed hit on me), I guess I'm not questioning the warhead but the delivery method. I've seen so many people try ink and paint to a surreal transmogrification of art that transcends the medium ... meanwhile the whole show is about some chick who longs to have sex in high school or some shit like that.
maybe a little more discussion and a little less Lord Fatbottom the Third? But then again I say that about this thread.
When the Mavs start sucking and he starts wishing for We Are Marshall then, yeah, he is
The Frankman

When he starts posting as a Rangers fan in the MLB thread like he owns the place (despite not posting the whole season) and tries to BS reverse jinx the opposing teams then yeah, he is.

If there's a corrupted icon where the game should be, then that's a fucked up download.
If it just prompted you to check format after it froze, then the dl probably got interrupted somehow along the way, and it's making sure that the system is still fine.
Usually, you can skip the latter if it freezes during gameplay and you reset with the 3 beeps, but during installs it's hit or miss.
That's the PSN's fault, if it's missing data during dl, it won't install correctly and usually gives you the error because there's not a different message that it knows to give.
As long as you agree that a lot of it is garbage now, no problem. Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star and the Toonami era in general is the gold standard.
Man, Outlaw Star was awesome, but yeah, anime sucks, generally speaking. I used to love the toonami shows back in the day, but I've found that nothing really comes close to that style these days. I read an article on the issue not that far back. It pretty much said that anime used to be made for the general consumption of the teenage male, anime fan or not. Then, they started making anime specifically for anime fans, because they were more likely to buy merchandise.

Because nothing will come close to that time period. There was no competition for titles, the dot.com + anime bubble hadn't burst, and Cartoon Network themselves had not as much animation competition. 1999 was a perfect storm and CN rode that wave for 4-5 years.
But yeah, companies started going even nichier within the niche that Japanese animation tends to occupy...
PSN blows. I've never had a single problem with an Xbox Live download. Not once. PSN? I've had to go through all kinds of shit... check transaction list, delete corrupted file, re-download, check corrupted file again - this time don't delete, download a third time after deleting shit that I actually need to make space for the third copy of this 12 gig file, install, delete more shit, update, then get news that my game is just fucked to begin with and that I now must download all my shit directly from PSN instead of through the game client.
Its simply not as fast either. Screw all the proxy shit. Download in background stuff, etc. If I don't do anything at all other than plug my shit in, 360 is better across the board when it comes to anything online.
But you're just hating on PSN! Ugh! I hate these Sony trolls!

08th MS team and og Gundam are great, and Gundaw Wing is still my favorite.
I tried watching the new ones. Mistake all around.
The speed part is debatable (it's really fast for me). The ease of downloading things? Not so much.
Hopefully they paid attention to value of a universal standard for PSN 2.0.
Like, they looked at Steam and decided to hire several people away from Valve.
