Watson grew up in this era of the NBA, not the golden era of
Jun 27, 2016, 6:46 PM

80's and 90's. So being a petulant man child crybaby isn't pointed out the way it used to. NBA is a whole lot better than the 2000-2006 era, but the crybaby aspect from that era of some players still lingers around. And really can you blame Lebron for his whining after all he was well known nationally since his junior year in HS and was well known in the upper Midwest region since middle school. Only criticism he has got in the NBA has been from fans. And outside of Bill Simmons there really hasn't been an analyst willing to critique Lebron's game or commonalities about disappearing in a number of big games and not developing a consistent jump shot.

Could you imagine him at WR/TE?

With his massive hands, crazy ups and ridiculous athleticism. He chose the right sport, but I would love to see him play football since he's matured.

Sure! I imagine he would cry rape the first time someone tackled him. With his flop appeal, international soccer would probably be a better fit.

Like it or not (who actually does like it?) basketball and
Jun 28, 2016, 9:31 AM

soccer both reward flopping. There's no penalty for flopping or embellishing in basketball and the upside is a potential foul on the opponent. In soccer there's now the potential to get a yellow card for "diving," but it's rarely ever enforced and it's much, much more likely that the opponent gets carder instead, and of course there's always the chance of getting a PK if the "foul" occurs in the box.
There's literally no upside at all to rolling around on the ground in football if you aren't actually hurt. As long as the benefit substantially outweighs the downside in basketball and soccer the flopping will continue.
Anyway, LBJ doesn't flop any more than half the other guys in the league. He just gets more attention because he's Lebron.

Every heard of Michael Jordan?

Well he played in the 80's and 90's. Nobody cried to the refs and played Diva off the court more than Michael Jordan, yet no one pointed it out. The NBA and the media carefully protected his image, despite numerous instances of him being a degenerate gambler and an a-hole.

Most guys in his position would not have married his high school sweetheart and actually stay married.
Guys like Tiger, Jordan, etc... pretty terrible family men.

Pick the brain of Michael Jordan. The only man to leave his guts in every game he played.

LeBron is a better role model for DW4.

You cant honestly say dw4 didnt leave his guts at every game. That kid has given it everything he has everytime he goes on that field. He has yet to cost us a game. He has lost what 2 games. Injured in one and we all know which unit cost us the nc. DW4 is special, we are beyond lucky.

All he does is cry when things don't go his way. Flop when a foul isn't there. Some great role model

MJ and Bird come to mind. Bird was one of the best floppers of all time. He would do anything to win.

Can't believe he doesn't agree with the posters on TigerNet! Hahaha
Great athletes to admire. Both are winners and both do more for the community than people who judge them based on ESPN will ever know. One day DeShaun will be that great professional athlete that college kids are looking up to, one day very soon

Top 7 or 8 player of all time.
Much better role model as a person than most of the great ones.
Love MJ but not the greatest role model.

Haha so our guy likes Lebron too. All you fools hate on him. He proved you all wrong in the finals. Great to see this. Finally another Tiger who loves LBJ. It happens to be the greatest Tiger. I am not alone! Thanks DW

Who doesn't like LeBron? There were some haters back in the day, mostly because they were committed to "Team Kobe" and couldn't stand that the "new guy" was better and getting more attention. But today he seems pretty universally liked. All-world talent and a great guy off the court too, unlike, say, Kobe, Michael, (insert many others here)...
