He’s unarguably the most physically talented player in the world.

If he ever fixes the wiring problems in his head, he will be unarguably the best player in the world. Because, whether you like it or not, he’s already “one of” them now.

I’ve been watching this game for more than 30 years and have not seen too many with the talent and high basketball intelligence like LeBron. He may not be the best player, but I’d love to hear who YOU think is. You let emotion influence your decision since LeBron had the audacity to predict he would win some titles. Talk is cheap, whether it’s yours, mine, or LeBron’s. How many MVPs has LeBron won? When it comes to individual talent and contribution to your team, nobody is better than LeBron James.

Let me give you examples of LeBron’s arrogance & lack of class:
1. Not shaking hands with any Magic players after losing to them in the playoffs.
2. Going on Larry King Live to talk about his free agency while Kobe is playing a maningful game in the finals.
3. The decision show
4. Not even having the common courtesy to call the Cavs and tell them that he plans on moving on. Or making it clear he wants to be traded like Carmello did & allow the Cavs to get something in return.
4. All the classless coments in his immature preseason victory parade, Not1, not 2…And saying they can have Pat Riley play the point & beat everybody.
5. Him mocking Dirk in the Finals last year by coughing in front of the media.
6. After losing in the Finals, saying he’s going to be ok going back to his nice life while the rest of us have to go back to work the next day.
Let me remind you, I use to be a Heat fan & live in Miami. I can’t get myself to root for an arrogant & classless guy that has never won anything but calls himself “The King”. I agree with you that a lot of athletes now a days are arrogant but James is arrogant & classless.

LeBron dropped 40 and 30 back to back nights …. Granger is not fired up, it took him mentally away, the Pacers are not even close to as talented as Miami, they need 100% focus to have a shot. Granger be passive? Not what I suggested, but Granger can;t back it up, so why distract your team? cause a media roar and give LeBron more reason to own them like he has 2 straight games since Granger opened his mouth? Maybe you should go fishing with Granger Friday morning and you will understand.

Sarcasm is difficult for the people of lesser intelligence to follow–sorry.

i am so tired of e everyone calling LeBron the best player in the world! what has he done to prove that? 3 MVP’s and no rings. Deep playoff runs and epic flame outs. He has the physical gifts and talents to BE the best player. However he isnt that yet. When he decided to go to Miami he upped that ante. When he speculated that they could win however many championships he put a target on his back that he can’t take off. He should shut up and play and let that do the talking. Just like Kobe did another guy that everyone hated on but has proven his critics wrong. For the record I am not a Kobe fan but I can respect his game a whole lot more that LeBron.

How about if they throw in a autograped Reggie Miller authentic jersey? Lol yea I too am amused when people just assume a team will just take a trade. Like those who say Pau Gasol for Dwight Howard! Idiots. But this guy has a point with trading Granger tho. Paul George is a real up and coming player and along with Hibbert they have the pieces. Get a point guard and they are going somewhere.

I can’t stand LeBron but I have to side with him here, Granger is just acting like a jealous punk. He is hurting his team by doing it because now Indiana is getting called for tick-tack fouls because the refs are paying closer attention to them. Check out my blog btw!!

ceschatz You just got bit by the Danny rant just like Lebron. I don’t hate Lebron , as a matter a fact he is one of the greatest players in the NBA. We are not hating, just stating facts. And in the end, I hope it’s the great Spurs against the heat.

The lebron haters never cease to amaze me. You do realize youre making yourself look more pathetic than the person youre trying to make lebron out to be, right?

Lebron wouldn’t be talking bout it if it didn’t bother him. Danny is not the first nor the last player to talk trash. It’s part of the game. If u talk BS to a star player on or off the court, then u might have hit them mentally where he is constantly thinking about it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Just ask Kevin Garnet. He is a pro at trash talking.

As Kobe would say, Danny Granger can’t sit at Lebron’s lunch table. All bark and no bite, getting in people’s faces knowing the refs will protect you is pathetic.

I work full time and am in grad school. Bed by 9 would be almost as welcome as relations with the wife (again, priorities). I’ll catch some of their games on Friday nights when I can. I try to snag tix through work when the good teams are in town, but more often than not I’m given the finger, and I don’t mean the thumbs up.

Funny.

Nah… Just like thousands of people that follow the game, I just didn’t like what he did. I mean I respect his game and all and is likely to be an all-time great. (Except in the last two minutes of a game.)

Why not? Retaliation is what Granger is trying to get out of him?

Well then eat a couple elbows Granger.

Hypocrite… hardly. Although fans and media may have created it, he admittedly called himself “King James” here is one of the links:

http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/lebron-james-reportedly-referred-to-himself-as-king-james-in-text-message/72361

And having a tat on his back that says Chosen 1… C’mon. Oh… don’t forget about the one says Loyalty. He’s trying to live up to the hype, and is failing.

The owner in Cleveland did basically anything that Lebron asked for. He was all-in with him, but Lebron obviously didn’t feel the same. That pep-rally for the city was called “The Decision” he just did that way wrong.

Would I have left… probably not. If I were treated the way that LeBron had been treated why would anyone leave. Barkley was chasing a ring on the tail end of his career. LeBron is just entering his peak. Kareem went from the Bucks to the Lakers. Where did he go to college??? UCLA right?

Hypocrite… nope. Voicing my opinion yup.

they are acting immature for getting fired up? were the mavs last year immature for talking trash to lebron then killing him, specifically jason terry and deshawn. I wish i had been able to watch more of 90′s basketball because all they did was get in each others faces and talk trash the whole game to get themselves fired up. basketball has gotten so soft.

i hate how ppl like you would rather see granger be passive and not get fired up just cuz hes not better than lebron. starks wasnt half the player reggie miller was but he was always in his face from the opening tip. is he pathetic too for getting outplayed?

None of this matters. Whoever comes out of the East isn’t going to get too far with whoever it is comes out of the west. A month from now we won’t remember any of these teams lame charades.
