Thunder vs Heat (Make your pick)

[Sinfix_15]

This to me just shows youll never see the forest through the trees. Tebow is a great philanthropist, so is LEbron James. Just leave it at that. Instead you want to cheapen LBJ actions by saying "oh he has free shoes who cares if he gives them away" or "who cares if he gave away a million dollars, hes rich" or "he never finished school so who cares if he tells people to stay in school".

Its just not fair to look at it that way.

THe NBA had nothing to do wiht him doing the marketing and charity for State Farm or Boys and Girls Club. That was all him. His idea.

LeBron James of Miami Heat refocuses charity bike-a-thon on education - ESPN

How about the annual charitable bike a thon he has for kids? Or the 26 second ads for State Farm? Or the countless donations, ads, marketing he does for Ronald Mcdonald House charities, promoting high school education, etc?

I mean 100s of other NBA players dont do that.....he does.

Give him credit.

The difference between him and Tebow, is TEBOW isnt 1/1000th the talent in his sport that LBJ is in his, and no one in the NFL would have drafted Tebow out of highschool . Tebow is a marginal player in the NFL, LBJ is a 3 time MVP.

To say without money he would just be some uneducated father of 2 is about the most backhanded double talk i have ever heard. I could say without the NFL Tebow would be just another super religious zealot that never did anything meaningful with his life. but im not that disrespectful.

Tebow was doing his charitable work before he got paid $1 to play football. Without the NFL, he would still be doing it. Tebow did charity work in highschool and during college. Tebow's spring breaks were spent doing charity work. Comparing Tebow to Lebron on a personal level is a bit far fetched....

anyways, as i said before. If i was rich, i would donate money to charity.... and still be the same asshole i am. Lebron can do the same... and still be a douchebag.

SO? Do you know how much charitable work LBJ did before he was signed? Tebow was going to go to college, because he was not 1/1000th the talent LBJ was. LBJ was recruited by PROFESSIONAL SPORTS at age 16, Tebow wasnt.

So you comparing their lives is just retarded, it makes no sense. One is a premier GREATEST ATHLETE to play his sport, the other is a mediocre 2nd string QB at best in the NFL. PERIOD.

But they are both stand up classy individuals who do amazing things for people off the field.

Youve provided no evidence that LBJ is the stereotypical douchebag you think he is outside of 1 press conference he did 2 years ago.

if i didnt know any better...... id say youre getting angry about this. That's the only reason you'd stray so far from the topic as to start comparing the athletic attributes of these 2 players. Magic Johnson was one of the greatest players ever... cheated on his wife.. got aids. Micheal Jordan is the greatest player ever... cheated on his wife several times. Kobe is one of the greatest players ever.... allegedly raped a girl and at the very least, cheated on his wife also. Pete Rose is one of the greatest players ever........ all of these men in their respective sports are more "talented" then Tebow, and that has absolutely nothing to do with their character or personality and doesnt have any effect what so ever on me saying that Tebow is a better person than Lebron. He is....... and if Lebron goes on to win 19 championships.... and Tebow gets cut tomorrow and never takes another snap, he still will be.

Floyd Mayweather is probably the most talented boxer ever. He does tons of charity work. Cooks meals for the homeless, donates money... does all sorts of things. Yet he beats women and is one of the most low life dirt bags walking the planet..... his talent doesnt change that.

Lebron more talented than Tebow........... yes. absolutely...... no question, not even a close comparison. does that change anything? nope.

of course it is, more games=more revenue.

then how do we know what team is really better? If it is really set up this way then this is bs... im done watching basketball lol

Wrong. Got aids before he was married. He just found out after. They just showed the documentary about it last night.

Im not getting angry, im just saying theres blatant hypocriscy in your statements.

What makes LBJ a dooshbag? because of 1 press conference he did 2 years ago? when he was 25? A presser where he was a little cocky about winning titles?

Yeah, that was a dooshbag move, but it was 1 act in the course of a 9 year career. Thats not been his MO.

Ithink comparing LBJ to floyd who was arrested for ASSAULT and magic who slept with tons of women is funny, because you dont read that stuff about LBJ. Hes pretty normal dude.

FYI Magic Johnson is probably one of the classiest guys , he made a mistake and hes paid for it, but i dont hold it against him. What he did was far worse than what LBJ did lets be serious. He let all his teamates down with his off the court shenanigans

and the 80's was a different era. not everything was known about aids then. you guys know people in the nba thought they could get aids from magic from his sweat?

while im not one of those types who are scared to be in the same room with a person with aids.... i would not play basketball with them... at least not at the professional level....

why?....

pretty simple.

They had no clue how you could get aids from somebody back when magic got it.

[Sinfix_15]

i shouldnt be so shocked by this conversation.....

unfortunately again........ these types of opinions are far too "typical" among "some" people.
