I started watching them the year they won the championship with Bill Walton. All downhill from there.

It was actually Jim Paxson, I got the two mixed up. Also Fat Lever, Calvin Natt, Michael Thompson... they had some good teams back then and the games were always sold out so they also showed the games at the local movie theater. It was wild the few times I went.

I lead, you follow.
Not really. You're conflating true increase in value with temporary, artificial inflation. Where the amount gained is lost and usually involves further loss from original values. Nobody believed AMC stock was worth $85 dollars a share in 2021.
This takes me to my comments on Johnny Manziel when the Browns drafted him. Big name, polarizing prospect (if you knew jack shit about football) but he drew eyes from his college game. As a result, the 2014 increase in PSL's and season tickets for that off-season went up, and a short sighted Jimmy Haslem was counting money.
What happened after? That draft capital, which could have been used on a player that could have actually contributed to winning games and sustained, on-field value for CLE was nuked when Manziel turned out to be everything a lot of us expected him to be. The temporary gain was quickly lost and only furthered along the decline of the roster quality as the other position groups aged. Mike Pettine was fired, Shanahan left to walk and the Browns won a grand total of 4 games the next two seasons with garbage at QB, snowballing into the grand finale of 2017. Matching Detroit as the only NFL team to go winless. Ever.
Gimmicks have their price.

I know it hurt when he left to play with his friends but I don't get all the hellfire and brimstone hate.
He's 40 and out here out running and dominating these young Olympic dudes. It's astonishing through normative vision

You know what? Chicken butt.
The ire for me?
You hit the genetic lottery LBJ
That doesn’t mean you are in a position to have a “voice” on everything else,
You are great in hoops. Isn’t that enough?

Just curious, but, isn't every American allowed to have a "voice" about anything they want? I don't always get vocal about these things but we should be free too.
If not I'm really, really pissed about these military injuries I'm living with!
BTW, your response doesn't sound anything like what I was referring to. All good man

It’s definitely more societies view of him than him. People act like he is a trusted voice and forget he’s just a great athlete. And he buys into that.
But LBJ seems to have bought into that to me. And the way he is the defacto GM of his teams. It’s just ridiculous. Plus I’ve never gotten over “the announcement” fiasco…..taking his talents to South Beach.
Once a pompous ass, always a pompous ass.
Can’t stand the guy.

for me it was the hypocrisy of his defense of china while simultaneously whining about racial issues in our country.
