The thing is, Lebron's friends are not just your ordinary guys. They have helped him make good choices in his life. Every thing from the way he speaks to what he wears in interviews are decisions made by his friends. They are also top minded people. This Lebron decision is better than people think. It is bigger than just basketball.

If more players and people had friends like Lebron's friends they would be more successful in their careers.

While I don't think their intentions are bad, they're opportunists. They all realized LBJ was their meal ticket and built their lives around LBJ. That's fine and all, because they can build rather successful careers around him, but at the end of the day LeBron makes the call. They'll certainly influence LeBron, but influence is all it is. I'm sure the advice Warren Buffet gives LeBron is to make up his mind based upon what's best for HIM

A. You have very low stability with what is going to be an outgoing GM and maybe the worst owner in pro sports

B A history of losing over a decade

C A thin roster that has three SF and one combo guard signed--our pick is in Utah

D A coach who is not defensive minded although all of the teams who get to the finals on a yearly basis are just that

Not at all. I'm very objective and that doesn't resonate well at times.

What you call "objective" is what I call reactionary and annoying. Your "objectiveness" stems from the fact that you change your mind every day on any subject and that is usually a direct reaction to a rumor you have read. Begging LeBron not to come here, bashing Donnie for his plan, then saying you're confident LeBron is coming and now going back to bashing Donnie because of a Yahoo report shows your destructiveness. It's not healthy. That's what doesn't resonate well.

Exactly. And later this week, there will be another "inside source" saying that LeBron James is a lock to resign with Cleveland. Fact is, King James WILL visit New York on July 1st. We need to show him why this is a better situation then Cleveland and Chicago. Until then, nothing you read really matters. There are no "inside sources". Sure, King James might like the idea of playing with Derrick Rose. But what he feels right now, will not be the same come July.

Briggy offers his insight which you don't have to agree with. He is polite and professional.

He has bought a block of tickets and actually took people to the game. Free.

He has shared stock picks, which at our own risk you can participate in. Some have made a good rate of return.

So if Briggy wants to post some emotional threads that are on occasion redundant what harm is it?

You don't let a Dlee post go buy which you exibit no self control yourself to demonstrate your distaste for his lack of defense ability despite his relative inexpensive salary and he is our only allstar in 7 years.

We let playa go off theories, Sebby on his "ass" rants, watched Allanfan'd Fishmike grow up to by a house and be a good dad, Dido got abducted by aliens, we think Bonnie married his dogs, LI Fan will one day win an oscar or get run over by his own car, we'll go to Marvs retirement party (Soon), DJ will come back to the flock from his euro envy, TMS will get a steady girl, Bitty will one day admit she is not always right (even though she usually is), and my obnoxious self also gets a few free passes all cuz we just like hanging out and shooting the shyt. Nobody is perfect Sergio so argue the opinion but its all good around here. Bottom line we root for the team who spends the most money $ for $ in the history of mankind and have no basis to claim any superior knowledge.

Knicks suck. UK does not.

One day we will win a chip and they will let Isles out of the box and Hardcore can run down the street in full wonderment that we will have won!!!!!!!

Until then, we ignore from time to time.

LOL How come you don't post about how Jay Z won't recruit King James to New Jersey or how there is no connection to Tom Thibodeau? Your agenda on this site is a joke.

just to piggyback nalod's point - briggs filled up a section at the garden for this forum and didn't ask for a dime in return. he can say what he wants, choose to agree with it or not, but the guy is obviously a huge knicks fan and he's a linchpin of this forum.

Also, the guy knows his s#it, which is more than I can say for most posters.
