T-mac is awesome. Incidentally, His mom plays bingo with my Pop. Nice lady.backbreaker said:
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Lebron James is Michael Jordan and Magic rolled into one
- Thread starter Roly
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

MJ did define the Low post scoring guard. Once MJ figured out he can use his ability to post up guards and use that fade away jumper.. he was literarly unstoppable
Why am I not surprised that the only one on Kobe's jocks is from LA? It's like little man syndrome. Last year it was D-Wade is the best in the league, and the little Kobe fans have to whine and cry about how he deserves consideration. Now it's LeBron, and the little Kobe fans have to whine about him being better. As a Heat fan, I can easily admit that LeBron is better than Wade. Last year I would have disagreed, but he single handedly beat the Pistons in 6. Wade had Shaq in 6. Wade, Kobe and LeBron are all good in their individual ways. LeBron is the one who makes the players around him better. Kobe is the best shooter and most clutch. Wade is the best closer (not most clutch, but he dominates the last 5 minutes of every game) and best at driving to the rim.
Here's how I'd rank who I'd want on my team.
1) LeBron
2) Nash
3) Kobe
4) Wade
5) Carmelo
6) Duncan
7) Arenas
8) T-Mac
9) Stoudemire
10) Kidd

I agree with DevanE
Looking at that video of Lebron James, anybody with his genetics, body mass, muscles and some sort of basketball knowledge can do basically all that in the video. He's just a Goliath with some speed, He's hasn't done anything memorialble, nothing that hasn't been done before.
Im still amazed of what michael jordan has done in his career, he was a show men. I've haven't seen anybody do some of the things he has done since he retired from the game.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'd put Yao on my team before Kidd, as well as Howard and Baron Davis. Loul Deng is growing on me as well.
Comparing Lebron with MJ or Magic or even Larry Bird or Dr. J at this stage of his career is ridiculous.
Those guys were consistent and they redefined the sport.
That said...he is pretty good for a 22 year old man. And I think if he is going to win an NBA Title...NOW might be the ONLY chance. As the best Western Teams are already eliminated (e.g. Phoenix and Dallas).
Cleveland was lucky that the Wizards had their three best players hurt (especially Arenas). And that NJ simply sucked.
Now...the Detroit victory was outstanding as Detroit has a better overall team.
