I never said he HAD the problem I'm saying its possible because more people than myself have brought it up. And yeah, he's socially awkward but that doesn't mean he can't play basketball. The LeBron thing is a fact. LeBron is made out to be some non competitive loser who doesn't care but in reality he destroyed Rose who is supposed to be Mr. Competitor.

See, he CAN dance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZczejHLBaG4

I'm not saying you're wrong brah.

How can you not respect Rose? I don't like him as he's the best player on our biggest rival but you have to respect his game. I don't think he should've been MVP last year but obviously you respect his game. He's one of the better players in this league. Lol I'm sure this is just a Miami fanbase issue. Because I'm sure Laker fans love Rose just as much as Bulls fans do.

Lmfao hold on...now we're saying he MEANT to flagrant foul Kobe? Jesus Christ.. And lulz @ ECN. Even Shaq will tell you he's the one who rode D-Wade to that ring. That's one of the dumber statements you've made. If thats the case then what did Kobe do for his first 3 rings when Shaq was in his prime?

Lol you guys are the ones bitching about a hard foul that wasn't meant to hurt anyone. Had this been some random player it wouldn't have even mattered but since its Kobe its now the end of the world. I'm not the one who was calling for "8 elbows" on Sunday either. Who's mad in the Rose thread? I'm just pointing out that he has the personality of a rock...there isn't anything wrong with that though. If you think Wade's the only guy that would've taken that foul you're out of your mind.

What has Rose's "competitive demeanor" gotten him? Ass raped by LeBron the past 2 season in the playoffs?

I feel like Kobe wasn't even trying to be a dick there to be honest. I feel like he was actually on some veteran shit right there telling LeBron he needs to take that shot.

I definitely suggest everyone take a look at these pictures. Its crazy how beautiful all those cities were before the radicals and the wars completely destroyed them. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/once_upon_a_time Really makes you wonder how all of this is happening right now.

This hyperbole filled thread has no room for common sense. GTFO.

I think you're confusing being a competitor for social awkwardness.

Even last night..I know its the ASG but c'mon son you're gonna shoot threes all night?

No..he doesn't. And what exactly is so "awesome" about that lol. The guy looks like he's got a stick up his ass or something. Enjoy the moment guy. Its not the NBA Finals.

IMO he was being constructive. I'm sure Kobe likes and respects LeBron, all these guys are friends so they wanna see one another succeed, especially someone as talented as LBJ who's the face of the league right now.

Lol as someone who's watched Wade for the past 8 1/2 seasons, no he hasn't changed at all. He's had the same attitude from day one.

Possibly. I've just seen the topic thrown out there so I figured it could be worth mentioning. He just sounds nervous whenever he's interviewed or has to speak publicly.

If anyone deserves to get heat its Dwight. How the [expletive] are you gonna be a C and just shoot threes in the All Star game in your city? Dude was a ghost out there and got slammed on like 6 times.

D-Will balled though he deserved to be out there late in the game. I'm sure Thibs and Rose were on the same page though about minutes.

That last play was a drawn up play for D-Will and then the other one was drawn up to Wade for some reason. Criticizing LeBron for last night is absurd lol the guy is the only reason it even got competitive at the end. He was hitting shots from everywhere like it was nothing. His unselfishness has become a flaw at times but I refuse to get on the guy for something in an ASG. His getting pissed about it shows how he's matured in the past couple years. He probably wouldn't have cared about that TO at all 3 or 4 years ago.

Lol I've hated Dirk since before we lost but yeah last year made it even worse. The way Blake carries himself on the court just kills me for such a talented player.

Really though I've seen it brought up before in different places. Some people think he really may have some form of social anxiety. Just listening to his interviews they're all just really awkward and he seems uncomfortable in all of them. Obviously he's still a great player but its something to wonder I guess.

He's up there for me as well.

How can you hate World Peace? Dude is the funniest thing in the NBA to watch out there.

Lol, don't you dare enjoy the all star game dammit! In all seriousness though, I've never seen a superstar be more of an introvert in my time watching basketball. Even MJ smiled more than this guy.
