I blame Obama for taking the fun out of the halftime show.
I almost said "okay, Plympton", but let's get real, Plympie would never watch an urban sport.

He is too busy combing his bangs.  And I wasn't saying it for political reasons.  Its simply because he denied us the chance to hear the gang horsing around at half-time.

HPbasketball: They keep running pick and rolls for Joakim because he's the only one still running hard.

Every play between Irving and James is making my Cavs fan friends (yes, plural) go nuts. I feel bad for them.

If the East comes back and wins, its on him.  If he can't win with this team, he is a loser.  Harden too.
-17 and -16 for the pair.

deep inside Guido territory
Bill Russell to LeBron James about "Mt. Rushmore".  Love it.

 
“Hey thank you for leaving me off your Mt. Rushmore.  I’m glad you did.  Basketball is a team game.  It’s not for individual honors.  I won back to back state championships in high school.  Back to back NCAA champsionshps in college.  I won an NBA Championship my 1st year in the league.  An NBA championship my last year.  9 inbetween.  And that Mr. James is etched in stone.”

Russell never gets credit for being the greatest winner in American team sports. These young bucks don't know jack.

To be fair to LeBron there was another interview where he said there were a bunch of great players that he left off of his Mount Rushmore.  
 
Ultimately, who really cares?  It was a silly observation by LeBron.  I don't know why Russell felt compelled to even address it and in doing so, he comes off as a bit butt-hurt.

The awe the players had last night when they got to shake his hand during the game says otherwise.

I have serious doubts thats what was said.  Doesn't seem like the type of thing Bill Russell would do.
 
Craig Sofa Sager reported it at the All Star game last night fwiw.

Bill Russell is 80?! 
 
I hope I look that good at 80.
