lebron, WOW

after watching the Germany game, and seeing all the United States games so far, Lebron has distanced himself( other then Wade) as the superior player in the world. if he brings his commitment back to the cavs, along with the addition of Williams, they could make another run at the finals. no one will beat team U.S.A if they stick to that ball hawking defense

You forgot Kobe. James is not better than Kobe.

lebron is just adding to his legend

A worthy bump. That shot defies description. If the Cavs can win the championship, and I still think that's a big if, that will have to go down as one of the most significant shots in NBA history

I started a thread about this recently too. He is pretty damn good. I have slowly gained more and more respect for him.

I was freaking pissed though. It would have been near over if they went down 0-2.

Thats why he is the KING, i hope he win's one, and i hope he beat the lakers, cause that will be a match up, cause for the people living in the 80's there are no more magic and bird match ups, that will never be again...in this life or the next, matter of fact, there will never be another Bird, that era is gone and passed.......it will only be lebron and kobe or lebron and dewayne wade...or the other top stars. If you dont like this Kid! then hockey is your sport......enjoy

Or you are a Wizards fan (short memory MasterBlaster?). Nevertheless, I can't force myself to hate the kid. He keeps winning me over.

I don't understand why people like this guy. Firstly, the Cavs keep beating the Wizards in the play-offs. Once because a completely terrible call where LeBron took 6 steps and then he complains he didn't get an and-one. He complains about calls constantly even though it is so obvious the refs completely cater to him. Like Haywood and then Songalia getting suspended last year in the play-offs. I really think Stern is telling the refs to protect James because every time he goes to the basket it's like they've already decided to call the foul before it happens. He travels more than anybody and gets away with it, and this year he gets called on it once and then tries to say it was a terrible call and it was a crab dribble and he completely incorrectly defines what a crab dribble is. He says it's a hesitation dribble, come on now, I can't believe more people didn't get on him for this. Analysts, everybody said it was a travel, not a single person said otherwise except this guy ... YouTube - PROOF - Lebron James did not travel with the crab dribble

A long video and not very well made, but some of the points I was making are in here, especially from 5:00 on. YouTube - His Travelessness, Lebron James

First of all I am a big Wiz fan, and everyone knows he traveled vs. us. Couple points.

1)The traveling is not his fault, it is the NBA. They simply don't call it anymore. If you are in a league that allows you travel and everyone else does it, why not do it yourself? It would be irrational and stupid not to. Wade travels all the time.

2)You said he is a crybaby. What about Kobe? Kobe bitches about calls and stuff constantly. And Kobe also retaliates after he feels a call didn't go his way. I have seen a ton of dirty elbows, pushes, etc. from him. I rarely see that from LeBron. Kobe complains a ton to the refs too; I think you are just being bias.

3) You really think the league protects one player? What about that playoff game when Wade went to the free throw line about 40 times? They just call a lot of touch fouls and intentionals for no reason. The game has changed, not because of LeBron.

4)You make it seem like he sucks. Now let's not go DeShawn(sp) here but he is not overrated. Especially this year. Improved his three point shot, assists, free-throw percentage, etc. He also plays D like no other with blocks, plus he boards. He isn't as pure or fundamental as Kobe, but he is a damn good scorer and a team player.

5)One point people brought up was that he wasn't clutch(I use to as well). Case in point last game.


I use to be a big hater like you man, but it is time to see the truth. He is a damn good player. Don't get me wrong, I wanted Orlando to win but that doesn't mean you can't respect his skill. Plus from all accounts, he is a nice guy liked by his locker room.

hoo, why is everyone hatin?

Or you are a Wizards fan (short memory MasterBlaster?). Nevertheless, I can't force myself to hate the kid. He keeps winning me over.

nope! but i''m not a Cav's fan either, just know, that, he is being hated on alot, by idiots, like Skip Bayless, this guy talk's a big game, but I bet he wouldnt say that shit to their face, oh yeah, he is a big athlete, he run's marthaon's and POKER IS A SPORT :vomit:
