3/14 shooting, as many turnovers as made shots. UGLY. Injured or not, it didn't look like he was even trying and he had zero leadership qualities on display.

Anyone else think tanking this series might make the chance that he leaves Cleveland even greater? I do. They picked up some great complimentary players in trades and FA this year...Shaq, Jamison, Moon, Telfair...still fell short. This might make it tempting to try somewhere else for James, even though he's from Ohio. He has a personal goal of being the greatest ever and playing in Cleveland will likely limit him from achieving it, because to be in consideration with the greatest players ever, he's going to need to win a lot of rings. Yes, MJ won them later in his career, but he was also a better all-around player in total.

No, there will never be another MJ...not even LeBron.

Go CELTICS, they've got their foot on the Cavs neck, now just crush it, blow them out in Game 6.

I think physically LeBron is better than Jordan, and not just the physical size. He has better range than Jordan at similar points in their careers. LeBron just doesn't have the killer instinct Jordan had. Jordan was obsessive about winning/competition, I don't see that in LeBron.
