What a fuckin drama queen bitch!
Let's face it, LeBron need to work on being a basketball player. When it is time to make basketball plays in real basketball moments, he has shown to be incapable of doing so more times than not. Great numbers don't mean that you don't have to work on your game. This is something Jordan learned. Kobe learned. LBJ has yet to make the adjustments, and you get the feeling that he still just doesn't get it. Sad really.
Congrats to Dallas. I hope they enjoy it, cuz the Thunder are gonna race right past them next season. I like how Dirk wins 1 championship and all of a sudden he's one of the top players of all time. So yesterday he was a good player, and today he's a great player. Go figure. He was great all along. If he played in New York or Los Angeles he'da been considered so a long time ago. As for Miami, I give them credit for getting this far with guys like Joel Anthony and Mario Chalmers in the starting lineup. I hate the Heat, but I've grown wary of all the Heat-haters (and almost embarrassed to be clumped along with alot of them.......I've hated the Heat my whole life as a Magic fan.....these new haters are bandwagon haters), so I'm not gonna bash them. There's no reason to believe a couple of veterans will take a pay cut and sign with the Heat and help shore up some of those holes. I can't see them not winning the title next season. I see a little bit of a letdown next season with the Bulls.

Kind of reminds me of Jerry "Mr Choke" West who put up great numbers ,but was at one time 0-8 in the NBA finals and ended his career 1-9 in the Finals. But people insist on calling him Mr. Clutch
Can you imagine any modern day player going 0-8 or 1-9 in the NBA Finals and being called Mr Clutch?Despite playing with Elgin Bayor, and later on Wilt ,West could only win 1 title and he played absolutely horrible in the one win.(Wilt won Finals mvp '72). West aslo got absolutely humliated/demoralized by Walt Frazier in the 'overhyped' Willis Reed game 7(1970).
Somehow Jerry West was able to overcome his documented failures in the public's/media minds. :dunno: I wonder why?
If West can overcome such documented and dreadful failures I am certain Lebron can.
Lebron is physically a freakish mix between Dr J and Karl Malone and should seriously improve his low post game so he and Wade (with their redundant skillsets) can compliment one another better.
:nono:
Don't be a poor sport. :nono:
Tell that to Dan Gilbert. Apparently he is still butt hurt over the Decision and him losing 100 million bucks when his slave bailed on him. He can make an awesome team now because he has two of the top five pics in the NBA right now. He and all the LBJ haters are gonna be eating their words one of these days.

It was great to see The Custodian get his first ring last night. He was one of my favorite Boilermakers of all-time. He may not be a great scorer, but he puts his body on the line diving for loose balls and isn't afraid to take a charge on anyone (ask D-Wade).
And of course, it's always great to see Lebron lose. You may be able to take your talents to South Beach, but that doesn't mean that you can bring a championship there. Heat fans really showed their dedication by leaving with 8:00 left to play.

The question is: Will his attitude toward his game change? That is what needs to happen first. Magic Johnson mentioned this in his own life after the Lakers loss in 1984. LBJ still doesn't think it's him. You listen to his post game comments and all indications point to he won't. He honestly does not understand this concept whatsoever.
This 'I'm still better than you, so na-na-na-na-naaaaa...' quote tells you all you need to know. His loser, petulent, defeatist attitude hasn't changed with his new surroundings. I said this in a much earlier post, but honestly ask yourself: In 8 years, how much has LBJ changed on and off the court???
Very little.
We keep waiting for him to take himself and his game to the next level, but it hasn't happened. We've been waiting for this Kobe/Jordan-like evolution, but after 8 years in the league, when? The answer is: Never. If he can't grow up; if he can't mature within, it will not happen without. How can someone on top of the NBA act like as if he is just content with playing in the NBA??? NBA's version of Tom Hanks in 'Big'... LeBron James.
I don't know, but is this on the level of 2004 Lakers Finals loss?
Remember, Karl Malone and Gary Payton tried to pull the bandwagon ring job that year by teaming with Shaq and Kobe. When count those four and Phil Jackson coaching, a title was just assumed that year.
I would say so. However I would mention it's amplified by the star 3 players being tools.
Capping it all off by mocking Dirk before the game.
