It's therefore advisable you adhere to those instructions, because like I said, it's no problem for me to keep deleting someone who signs up again and continues to misbehave, because I can recognise those people.
IP check? Ofcourse there are many ways around that, like proxys, and dial up modems don't keep the same IP either.


What's that I heard about a one-week waiting period for all new members? There are ways around a ban...but there's no way around being a derelict with a short attention span. Even if they can sign up under a new ip and name...having to wait each time would cut down on trolling and make things easier on Andrew...

LOL @ Lebron being slow.
As if Magic Johnson were "fast"


Magic also had a post-up game...meaning he didn't need to get around anyone to score or draw double teams. Lebron has no post-up game aside from the fadeaway that he can't hit consistently. He won't be able to get away with a lack of foot speed the way Magic did.

No he doesn't, this kid could not play Power Foward in the NBA.


No one said he could. I said he has the "STRENGTH" of a Power Forward...and @ 6'8 240 please dont tell me he doesnt.

Why are you and everyone talking about him as if he is going to be a seasoned vet next year? HE IS 18 YEARS OLD. He will develop.....you act as if Magic came in the league with a post up game.

Stop talking about the kid like he cant work on his game.

Thats the whole point of playing. TO GET BETTER.

I don't think LeBron should be forced to learn a new position his first year if he doesn't have to. If Denver get him, then he'll obviously play SF or SG - no need to have him work on being a PF (or PG for that matter) at this stage of his career. But you're right - he's only 18, with work he could well adapt his game. But let him play where he's proven to be effective first.
