Actually, I'm glad HE finally got his ring.

My dream of not having any of the Fraud 5 players win anything of significance was squashed last night. Good for Battier, though.

Sorry...but I'll never have any love for Shane Battier. "I don't want to go anywhere where I have to be their savior" was his quote during Michigan State's recruitment of him.
I'm so glad we won an NCAA Championship before his ugly ass did.

Yup, 100%.
There is pretty much no one on that Heat team that I can stomach. I was ranting last night as the game was ending about how I've hated pretty much every role player on the Heat team since they were in college.
Although Norris Cole seems pretty ok.

Plus the dude looks like he has cornrows growing underneath his skin. Fuck Shane Battier.

Wait a second. Battier is being lauded for latching on to LeBron's coattails to win a championship?
I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war.

Well, he was lauded in 2001 for latching on to the refs' coattails to win a championship, so why not now as well?

I'm not a fan of Battier but the guy was HUGE in the Finals. I don't care if Lebron and Wade were both double teamed and he was wide open, he nailed every big three he looked at. Credit where credit is due.

I always like Battier. 4 year player who graduated college, plays hard, no ego, and he seems to have a good command of the English language. I didn't know he ever talked smack about MSU. I'm conflicted. I guess I'll let it go, since he was a kid when he made those comments.

I've played golf with him and he coached one of my sons at his summer camp. Shane's a really good guy and can take a little ribbing about not attending MSU.

Not enough down votes for garbage threads like this. Really, Shane Battier, who gives a flying fuck?

Only the 3rd Duke player ever to win an NBA Championship. (and the first that wasn't a bench warmer)

Out of curiosity, how many MSU players have won NBA championships? Off the top of my head, I can think of Magic, Steve Smith, and Kevin Willis.

Sam Vincent with the 86 Celtics, but I don't think he was a significant contributor based on stats.
edit: Oops, I meant to quote Go green girl asking who from MSU has been on a nba championship team?

He won championships in high school and in college without being an "it's all about me" kind of guy; toiled away in the pros before contributing a good deal to win his NBA ring. Absolutely nothing wrong with his basketball career at every level and he's been a high character guy as well, on and off the court. Just because he didn't play at MSU, there's no reason for anyone to not congratulate him.

Again, it's Shane Battier, who gives a flying fuck. Just because he's not a deuschebag doesn't mean we need to start threads on tRCMB congratulating him.
