I have 13 years of media coverage on Dirks work ethic - constant interviews with teammates, ex-teammates, peers, observers.

3 times now I've said that I don't know about Lebrons work ethic. He may work hard but he's not on Dirks level. Nobody is except maybe other loners like Kobe and KG. Lebron and his parties get media attention. It's Hollywood as hell.

If he is nowhere on Dirk's level, then how in the world do you explain his FG %age increasing every year but 1 since he has been in the league? You still haven't addressed that. What I said was that Lebron works hard on his game, just as Dirk does and you blew a f'ing gasket. I'm not taking any credit away from Dirk or his work ethic AT ALL. Stop being such a butthurt vag.

Just take anything Adrian Wojarowski says/writes about LeBron and throw it out. He has a unhealthy hatred of LeBron. I swear %80 of his articles completely bash him in some way.... This is coming from a huge Dirk Fan and supporter

Woj does seem to be the leader of the anti lebron movement in the media.

And I think the butthurt vag on this thread goes to taking a throwaway line about getting media attention for parties and implying that I don't think lebron works on his game at all

Actually the butthurt started when you took this harmless quote and blew a damn gasket....

Ignorant statement. I don't know about Lebrons work habits and won't disparage that but I know that Dirks work ethic is legendary. It's usually the first thing his teammates mention as to what makes him great. But throwing lavish parties and being a global icon is more flashy than shooting jumpshots after practice with your elderly German coach/handler

Maybe I should be more sensitive with mine instead. Would hate to insult your hero like that again......so you'd have to vehemently defend an NBA basketball player who wouldn't give you the time if you asked for it

IF02: how can you not see how much of a homer you are?

You don't know how hard Bron works, yet you completely refuse to admit that it could be as hard as Dirk.

Grow the **** up.

Grasping at straws.

I read a lot about the NBA and can't recall right now anything about Lebrons work ethic. I've read a lot about KG, Kobe and Dirk over the years to the point where I can comfortably place them at a higher level than everyone else. I have no problem saying that superstar X is not on the same level as those 3 guys. If Lebron had this super work ethic on par with Dirk I would have read about it. It would be a topic of interest to me. I'd love to see some research into Lebrons work ethic. Keep me informed. The internet is so big

IF is right. Dirk is known around the league as one of the most hard working guys around, and it has been reported numerous times. I've never read an article talking about LeBron like that. Doesn't mean he isn't a hard worker.... I've just never heard about it...

Local fluff piece about how James is working out when coach arrives for the day.

Well I must have missed that local fluff piece on Lebron. Argument over.

How did I miss this? So you have a problem with me defending Dirk's legacy because he's not my friend?

No, I don't have any problem with you acting like a butthurt buffoon on the internet, I'm just going to call it like I see it. You blew a gasket over one sentence that I typed where I said both Dirk and Lebron work hard on their games. Everyone here can see that. Good God dude, pull your thong out of your ass.

You said Lebron works just as hard as Dirk. I called you out on it. You blew up the thread and made me defend and backup my position.

Puddy, you really are a buffoon. Do you hang your Lebron poster above your bed?

Lebron needs to work harder, what's he at now, 9 total points in the 4th quarter. Wow, impressive.

Dirk is a great player, but in Dallas he's a god. You never question the Dirk

If Dirk was an American, he would be my favorite player of all time without a doubt.

Too bad he's just another one of them damn natzis.
