Similar to how Lebron James has dominate games for Miami, and Westbrook/Durant have for the Thunder, why can't Duncan have dominating performances for San Antonio? He's their franchise player, and supposedly the greatest PF ever. Don't you think he needs to take more of a load on offense?

He's letting Perkins/Ibaka contain him. No all time great should allow that.

Why isn't he putting the Spurs on his back, and dominating like a franchise player should deep in the playoffs?

Duncan needs to have at least 1-2 games like this: 30 points, 15-20 rebounds, 5-8 assists, 3-5 blocks.

I know this might sound crazy but should the Spurs fire Gregg Poppovich? His team is on the brink of elimination to the number 8 seed! While their the one seed!

Also the Spurs have been one of the worst playoff teams in recent years. They have great regular seasons yet lose in the playoffs year in and year out. I blame Poppovich for that, because he obviously doesn't have them ready to play once the playoff role around.

To me he's a great regular season coach, but nothing more. The Spurs are incapable of having PLAYOFF success.

So why did Kobe Bryant start declining, and getting old so fast? When you compare him to other top end perimeter players he starting declining sooner. What happened? Did he not take good care of his body, or did he just not work hard enough in terms of expanding his game?

Comparing him to Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kobe declined much more, much faster, and much worse than any of those guys.

I never thought Kobe played at a high level after the year 2009. 2009 to me was his last great year, and he's just been garbage since then, and declining at a very fast steep rate.

Simply put, what the heck happened to this guy? I know all players eventually decline, but why did it happen so soon for Kobe? That's my question, why couldn't he stay at a high level for longer?

Even though Kobe Bryant used to be a really good player, do you feel he should have been better, and do you feel he did underachieve in a way?

For example what was the main reason he was never able to play the way Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony do? He was never has good as those guys, and can't score the way those 2 guys score. Why was that? Watching Durant, and Anthony its so easy for them to score 30-40 points every night, but Kobe was never at that level to where he could just score that many points, that consistently the way they do it.

Also do you feel if Kobe worked harder, and had a better work ethic in his prime years, he could have been as good as those 2 guys?

I'm starting to become convinced that Lebron James will never decline. The guy has been in the league a long time, and has not shown 1 sign of slowing down.

Will he ever decline like how guys like Tim Duncan, Garnett, Pierce, Kobe, Dirk all declined and are bad now?

Have we gotten to the point that Russell Wilson has surpassed Tom Brady as a better overall OB? Wilson led the seahawks to the superbowl, and beat a great team in SF. Brady got beat in the afc championship game again.

After having one of this worst seasons ever, and losing yesterday do you think there is any chance that Tom Brady gets traded, or released this offseason?

Despite being a good QB for multiple years this guy simply can't lead the Patriots to POSTSEASON success. They always lose in the playoffs with him as their QB.

Also look at how bad he was this year. he only threw 25 touchdown passes. That's really bad in my opinion considering in years prior he has thrown in the high 30s. In 2007 he even threw 50! And I don't care if he's getting older. Manning is a year older than Brady!

So if you were the Patriots, as crazy as this sounds, would you consider moving Brady and taking a chance on someone else?

I know he got hurt but come on this is the afc championship game! Why couldn't he just play thought the pain? If the patriots had own he would've had 2 weeks to rest!

Some of the broncos players got banged up but they went out for a couple plays and came right back in!

Is Talib physically and mentally weak? ,

Could you guys explain to me why Kobe Bryant declined so fast? At least compared to all other perimeter player who are considered elite.

Look at Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Russell Westbrook, Stephan Curry, James Harden.

Why wasn't Kobe able to stay at a high level like the guys I just named? All those guys are still considered the top perimeter players in the league and are NOT declining. Yet Kobe has been declining since like 2009 and he's 100% washed up now. All those guys I named off aren't even declining yet!

Kobe for some reason just couldn't age we'll, but why? Is it as simple as he didn't work as hard as those guys I named? Or are those guys just way better?

I mean I honestly can't ever picture a guy like Kevin Durant or Lebron James ever declining the way Kobe Bryant did. They simply have shown NO signs of slowing down, while Kobe started showing signs like 5 years ago!

In your opinion which of these 2 teams seems like a mentally and physically tougher team to you? Be honest!

I'm not asking who's more talented, or better, or has better stats. Just simply which of these 2 teams in your opinion seems like they're more mentally/physically tough?

The Bucs traded Aqib Talib to the Patriots for a 4th round pick, and they traded LeGarrette Blount to them for a 7th round pick!

Unbelievable! Talib looks like a top 3 corner this year, and Blount has gone crazy the last part of the season looking like a mini Marshawn Lynch.

Who's a better shooting guard James Harden or Prime Kobe Bryant?

Harden is obviously light years better than Kobe Bryant, and could destroy him now, but who would you rather have as the starting SG for you? Harden or Prime Bryant?

Why is Steve Nash such a pathetic basketball player? Why do people call him a "legend", and a "all time great point guard" when he clearly isn't?

The guy got a 3 year 27 million dollar contract from the Lakers, but he literally hasn't done ONE thing to help them.

He is the most injury prone athlete I've seen in ANY sport. He can't stay healthy. He can't guard anyone, and can't even do anything on offense anymore.

His injuries take way too long to heal compared to other players, and has yet to give the Lakers anything positive.

Why doesn't he get more blame for the Lakers failures? After all he's an "all time great" right?

It's frustrating when your paying someone 9 million dollars, and they can't do one positive thing to help your team

What happened to New England this season, why are they having a poor year? They aren't playing well. Through 14 games there only 10-4. They've already lost 4 games, and could lose more before the year is over. In recent years they've gone, 14-2 in 03,04,10; they went 16-0 in 2007, 13-3 in 2011. They aren't as good anymore.

Also all their games are close. I remember in years past they would have some blowouts.

Can someone please tell me why Kobe Bryant compared to other players decline so quickly, and fast? I remember this guy in 2006, 2007, 2008. He was really good! Now he is a pathetic, washed up bum. It's so bad that I have a hard time believing he was ever a good player.

Have you ever seen an NBA star decline this quickly, and rapidly? Cause I haven't

I mean look at Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, all those guys are perimeter player who are still at the top of their games after all these years.

Kobe has no excuse, and could learn a lot from those guys

Okay ladies, I REALLY need some much needed advice here! So i'm a 22 year old guy, and I really like this girl who I work with who is my age. We've worked together for like 5 months but I've really liked her a lot over the last 6 weeks or so. Everytime we talk I find some new random thing I like about her, I have so much in common with her even if she doesn't know it. She is sweet, kind, caring, funny, pretty, had great family values, and honestly in my eyes she's just a gem.

She's always cool with me too, and jokes around with me, and has flirted with me in the past. She will smile, and giggle at me at times too!The other day I went into work when she was working, and talked to her for like an hour. Throughout the hour she probably looked at me and smiled at me like 6 different occasions. I felt optimistic about that, that she was smiling at me. Right before I left I asked her what she was doing the rest of the weekend, and she said she had a friends B-day party to go to. I asked "what about during the week?" She said she had a lot more free time during the week to maybe do something, and to just text her.

So the next day I text her saying "hey..!!!". She responds 2 minutes later saying "hey there!", and then I ask her "how are you, how did you enjoy your day off" just trying to start a conversation. Then nothing! She didn't text back the rest of the night! And this was at 5:30 p.m. I'm really discouraged.. Why did I get ignored? She seemed a lot more interested in person, and i REALLY like her..

Should I text her back within the next 24 hours? Should i openly ask her if she was still interested in hanging out one night this week? Or will it bug her/turn her off? Does she not wanna talk to me?

Who would you rather have as your starting power forward? Current Chris Bosh or Prime Kevin Garnett?

I thought this year was it and he would finally retire , and the stupid lakers go and give him the dumbest contract in sports history! Who the hell gives an over the hill, way past his prime player 25 million a year?

Why does he refuse to retire? Why doesn't he understand he's way past his prime, and no smart NBA fans think of him as a great player anymore? He isn't fooling anyone into thinking he's still the same Kobe, so why doesn't he just retire?? The Lakers aren't going anywhere, and Kobe is done.
