Don't the WBA players play through their cramps on a monthly basis?

IAmRight: You are saying the players are tougher. No, the sport is "tougher." Not the players.

So...the guys playing the tougher sport aren't tougher than the guys playing the less tough sport. Makes sense to me.

/You aren't "stupider" than everyone else. No your posts and your arguments are "stupider".

That is all

To rationalize Boxingoutsider's incoherent rambling about how Superman could totally beat up The Hulk, let's review:

1.) NBA players are by FAR, FAR the best athletes
2.) LeBron got carried off the court like a 15 y/o girl whose prom date stepped on her foot
3.) But he's still tougher than the NHL players who make fun of him for it because see #1.

Okay, that's alright. I'm with you so far. Since #1 is irrefutable evidence that NBA players are by FAR, FAR the best athletes (in the same way as saying the Bible is true because it says so in the Bible) then there must be some reason why this godlike specimen known as LeBron was helped off the court with cramps. To be fair, subby's mom is always telling me that her monthly cramps are bad, so let's not make light of that. But still...there needs to be some sort of explanation for why such an everyday athletic problem required four people to lift his aforementioned 6' 40" 940 lbs of raw manliness.

Isn't there some other sport where gigantic men in peak physical condition seemingly run the gauntlet of punishment but always manage to get knocked out of the match at just the right moment?

IAmRight: cptjeff: Considering how you said you played hockey when you were standing in your driveway as a small child, I'm gonna guess that the "Marines" are the Cub Scouts and "College" is middle school.

Right, because street hockey isn't hockey! There aren't checks and rubberized projectiles being launched at you at high speeds! Everyone knows people that play ice hockey never play street hockey, either!

Do you not realize how stupid you sound?

I suppose that would require self awareness though...

IAmRight: Are Marines tougher than college students? Because I've been both at the same time. Did I magically get tougher in the morning when I went to base, and magically get weaker when I went to school at night? No, I'm the same f*cking person.

SultanofSchwing: IAmRight: Cookbook's Anarchist: So compose yourself and present an opportunity where basketball players demand more physically than hockey players. We agree that they run and sprint, and collide and fight; they fall and flop and recover and trade positions, but hockey demands more for longer than basketball. Disprove me without derping about office skills.

Okay, you're still not understanding the argument. I've made it pretty damn clearly that this is not the argument at least a dozen times in this thread.

Anyone with more than four functioning brain cells has figured it out by now; I'm not going to waste my time with your non-figuring-out-how-f*cking-stupid-you-are ass.

You keep arguing for your supposed non-argument a lot.

I'm still curious how the "toughness of hockey players" is invalidated by you playing shiatball in your driveway while wearing a maxipad for a cup.

Lulz dude that homo couldn't even afford real gear. That's why ghetto trash all play basketball. Their dads can't buy them the sweet gear you need to play a real sport. Basketball = just a ball. Soccer = just a ball.

Just a ball = pussy.

Hockey and Lax = real gear to protect you in a real sport.

I wouldn't even waste my time on a pencil-necked geek that probably gets most of his ice time from NHL 95 - the one without fighting - the one for little baby girls! Shiat yeah!

IAmRight: boozehat: So your hockey experience can be summed up by you standing in the street with sneakers on, holidng a baseball glove?

Hey boozehat, how many ice rinks were there in southern California two decades ago?

/not many

First off, I grew up playing in NorCal... Belmont Iceland to be exact. Prior to the Sharks coming to San Jose, there were less than 10 teams we would play, ranging from Fresno to Santa Rosa.

In SoCal during that time, there were over 20 teams in LA and Orange counties. An area that spans, what, 100 miles? 150 miles tops?

The existance Kings in SoCal had drivin hockey down here a lot.

BTW, do you have a point at all? Roller-boy

IAmRight: Yeah, I didn't play lame-ass regular hockey. I played goalie because my parents wouldn't buy me roller blades. I used either catcher shin guards and a baseball mitt or no padding and a baseball glove and a stick. Sometimes not even a goalie stick.

Wow...best be joking about this, or else you will invalidate everything you have said against goalies. To have not even played with the right equipment prevents you from arguing the merits of a goalie's skill set and stress. God I hate you.

IAmRight: Yes, I would make alts in order to have them not post and silently agree with me. Do you understand how ANYTHING works?

I understand how bad trolling works. I learned it from you.

basketball is for pusses. that is all.

What gifted looks like.

NutznGum: Hockey is a tougher sport, you said so yourself, ergo the players are tougher

Man, you suck at logic.

balki1867: I actually follow the NHL way more closely than the NBA but this is kind of stupid. In terms of taking a hit you have to be way tougher to play in the NHL, but very few of those guys could handle running up and down the court at an NBA pace dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for for 48 minutes 82+ times a year.

Different sports require different skillsets; shocking, I know.

// Still can't do anything about the flopping in the NBA

Huh? They sprint-skate up and down the rink at an NHL pace for 60 minutes 82+ times a year.

if anyone can make fun of another professional athlete for not toughing it out, it's hockey players
