I tried very hard to avoid all Lebron issues on TV/online ever since the stupid elbow boo-boo like you said, turn off the damn TV or switch channels or what have you….but at this point, with Lebron trying to steal the spotlight from the NBA Finals, ANYTIME i see ANYTHING basketball-related someone says something along the lines of, “in case you are unaware, Lebron is a free agent soon!”
Disgusting. totally disrespectful to the game, not to mention showing what kind of an insecure, attention skank. How very A-Rod like but EVEN MORE media exposure if you catch my drift. Why this guy feels the need to remind everyone how important he is when he should either be A) dissecting all of Kobe’s moves during the Finals against the C’s or B) work on a low post game or sth else is beyond me.

…and he never give 100% to his team in a playoff series and was just trying to close the game with free agency in mind! What a joke.

Lebron reminds me of Shaq. Both have unbelievable builds.
Shaq had a few moves but mostly relied on his body, strength, and surprising athleticism. He didn’t have much game, but he was a super freak physically. He was not a hard worker.
Lebron has a few more moves but mostly relies on his strength and athleticism. He has good game, but nothing special if you take away his athletic ability. He is a freak physically. He has no killer instinct.

Great article. If Lebron had any class, he would not make any noise and keep his trap shut during the playoffs. He has no business making news, because he isn’t news. This series is going to be great. Go Lakers. Lebron, just go.

Lebron is indicative of today’s NBA, focused on individual stars. The “King of Regular Season” hasn’t even won any meaningful games (0-4 in their only NBA Finals appearance) plus his tantrums in last year’s defeat against Orlando and this year holding Cleveland hostage…truly selfish. He doesn’t deserve the attention he’s getting. Until he wins a title, Lebron is all hype, “King of Regular Season”.

Basketball is a team sport, not an one-man show. Jordan won his six rings when he accepted his role as not always having the ball in his hands, not needing to score 40 points per game, and being part of Phil’s triangle system. Look at what Kobe has done recently by not taking 40 shots a night but sharing the rock with others. Selfish LBJ, who only think of himself, can’t be coached, and rely on his stats (well put Gato on how non-important stats are when it comes to rings ) will never win a championship until he can be a total player.

Lebrons style is not great, he might turn into a great player, but Wilkins was a great player too. Powerful dunks and big size do not equal a complete player who dominates a League.
If it’s a race, Kobe is at mile 24 of the marathon and Lebron is huffing and puffing at mile 6.

Until he starts winning titles who cares about him. Sure he looks great at times, but the way he played against the Celtics, it looked like he didn’t care. And who can blame him after making all that money without a title. Obviously winning the big one to him has no added benefit, and it shows. Until he has to earn the right to all of his rewards, financial and otherwise, he will end up being one of the biggest busts in NBA history.

exactly what makes LeBron great? the way he disappeared in games 5 and 6 against the Celts or some other quality I’m missing?

Alright dummies you can talk crap all you want say anything to try to make lebron look bad but guess who you will all be watching next season cause he is great I won’t get into the whole who is better bron or kobe but we all know lebron is great and still can get better just like kobe. This finals will be great and this summer will go down as the biggest free agency in history so let them both be what they are, go celtics for this series, go cavs forever, and go lebron we are waiting for what is sure to come.

before we propose James for immortality shouldn’t he win at least 1 championship? he may just be the most overrated player of all time.
this kid couldn’t carry Bill Russel’s jock (9 championships)

WOW dude… get off his n*ts. MVP this and All Star that – please. He couldn’t even get his team to a single title, couldn’t get Team USA a gold medal (I’m bringin all this up since you’ve obviously promoted him to “that status”)… You know, they don’t call him LeBronze or LeChoke for nothing. Don’t even get me started about him wearing his own MVP shirt…

“Ignore LeBron James” says the guy trying to make a name for himself by posting an internet article about LeBron James.

and Le Brawn is going to hold a free agent summit in which he dictates the balance of power in the NBA for the immediate future. He has not proven himself to be an MVP as seen in the playoffs – he is a choker and Kobe is by far the best player in the league right now – and I’m not a Lakers fan. Le Brawn – just become a player.

LeBron James obviously deserves all this attention as recognition for his sterling performance in leading his team to yet another NBA Finals.

Durant35 you’re a fool. He might have 2 MPVs, 7 all-star etc, but how many rings does he have? None. Celtics and Lakers is fun? You must have no idea of the history of the NBA and how big this rivalry is and how many trophies these team bring. Bron is a whiner and a quitter.

James is a gutless, heartless prima-dona. He cares more about powder throwing and fake photography than dedicating himself to develop a mid-range and post game. He said as much afer he quit on the Cavs: “My team and I have a gameplan we intend to execute this offseason.” The team he’s speaking of? His marketing people, agents, managers, etc, etc, etc. The guy’s a tool, bring on the Celtics vs the Lakers!
