"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Lebron James is Michael Jordan and Magic rolled into one

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.

"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.

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.
