Some people would have found a way to criticize Bosh no matter what he did.

[b]Jordan sobbed uncontrollably on the floor in front of cameras after winning his fourth title[/b]. I see nothing wrong with Bosh breaking down after losing.

Yeah, people need to cut Bosh some slack.

I have made my dislike for the Heat (aka James) known over and over, but I agree. Give Bosh some slack!

I have gotten emotional while playing sports. Shoot, try losing the MIAA B Conference Championship on Johns Hopkins turf 4 YEARS IN A ROW and tell me how you feel. Sports are emotional and I think it shows how much it means to them. I dig it!

Exactly! I'd be upset if Bosh and others didn't get emotional!

What are chances Russell Westbrook leaves Thunder to go to a team of his own? Like Knicks? Westbrook=Cheaper then CP3

Doubtful... I don't think he's [i]that[/i] selfish of a PG. The Thunder would be making a big mistake if they let him go... and how would the Knicks be a team of his own with Stoudemire and Carmelo there?

Read the post properly before you needlessly respond. I never even implied there was anything wrong with Jordan breaking down.

[Romo Ravens]

I actually like Bosh. He's a talented player, seems like a good person, great speaker and unselfish. He just goes out there every night and does his own thing. Obviously he gets a bum rap because of the two players beside him.

Yeah, I agree except for the part in bold....Aside from the jab at Dirk and his sickness, DWade is a pretty upstanding and professional player. Its "Baby Bron Bron" that runs the circus over there.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I wouldn't say Bosh detracted from their "drama queen" image because that's damn near impossible. I'm not denying Lebron can be a drama queen, I just don't hate the guy. Same thing with Wade. Bosh, meanwhile, is not a drama queen, but since he falls under the big three with those two, he's viewed similarly to them sometimes.

D-Wade doesn't do that if LeBron isn't around... he'll always be one of my favorite players.

I mean that those two overshadow him in terms of popularity

Ignorant? How? I know my Jordan history.

There are numerous reasons Bosh's emotions got the best of him. One has been revealed but because of of who is and the team he plays for, people won't sympathize with him the way they did with Jordan.

Westbrook may be cheaper than Paul, but he can't run an offense like Paul can and does. Russell is more of a shooting guard than a point guard in my opinion. He'll score in bunches and still get the dishes, but he won't set up your team and run the offense.

Agreed. As much as I like Westbrook, James Harden(a score-first SG in his own right) runs the point more efficiently than him at times.

Yup... but I think he's still a Top 5 PG right now.

PG debate!!

Here's my Fave 5:

1) Chris Paul
2) Tyreke Evans
3) Russell Westbrook
4) Jrue Holiday
5) John Wall

Here's my top 5 without bias:

1) Paul
2) Rose
3) Williams
4) Rondo
5) Nash

Dwill is the best PG in the NBA imo.

What does he do better than CP3?

[FerrariFan87]

1. Chris Paul
2. Derrick Rose
3. Deron Williams
4. Rajon Rondo
5. Russell Westbrook

[AwakenTheDemon]

My favorite points:
1. Kidd (Had to be done, sorry)
2. Paul
3. Rose
4. Williams
5. Nash

Ellis, Rondo, and (I know...) Devin Harris aren't far behind.

Kidd's not the player he was ten years ago, naturally, but he's the absolute definition of a point guard. He was a regular triple-double machine.

Stay healthy.

Also better offensively. (at least since CP3's injuries).

Hes also bigger and stronger.

CP3 has the glitz and glamour, but I would honestly take Williams if I had to chose between the 2.

Also I don't understand how anyone could possibly justify putting Rose as better [i][b]PG[/b][/i] than DWill.

Hmmm, I dunno, maybe because he was just named MVP?!

Good points but Paul is a better 3-point and FT shooter and rebounder. He also has better court-vision, is less turnover-prone and twice the ball thief Williams is.

Ellis shoots the ball way too much to be considered a "true" PG in my book.

Doesn't mean hes a better pure PG.

Better scorer? Yes
Better passer? Not even close
