LeBron James is an amazingly talented player. And repeatedly displays dominating performances. On top of that he really never gets into any trouble off the court. And Westbrook is one of the most explosive guards the game has seen in years who had a historic performance last night (unfortunately tainted with a poor decision at the end. A mistake...which apparently is a foreign concept to fans). It's really a shame their talents aren't appreciated more.
Like the WWE all sports need faces and heels; it keeps the drama wagon rolling.
LBJ will always be a heel; people love to hate him.

I hate LBJ but you gotta respect his talent. The Heat are playing good at the right time, and now they're poised to win their second title in 6 years. I don't like the idea of LBJ having a ring but I will get used to it eventually.

Harden's had 2 bad games back to back (2-10 shooting), but the other games he was fine.
It still boils down to Westbrook not running the offense and getting people into the flow of it. He doesn't need to score that many points to be dangerous. Look at Steve Nash's 2 MVP seasons and look at the PPG. Not even at 20 per night. If it wasn't for Westbrook's anomaly of 11 assist in the earlier game of this series, his assist numbers would be horrible. He shot well last night, but still only dished out 5 assist with 3 turnovers.
Mark my words and I'll put money behind this. The Thunder will NEVER will a championship as long as Westbrook plays out of control and with a shoot first mentality. The smartest thing the Thunder could have done is trade Westbrook to the Celtics for Rondo.
So what are the LeBron haters gonna do once he gets a ring?

Do you not understand that is the appeal of him? People want a good vs. evil scenario. IF you loved everyone in any sport you would not care who won or lost.

I get it. Still think it's stupid. Especially when he's hated for all the wrong/imagined reasons
