All very good points and evidence of Lebron punkishness.

Don't forget about the extremely gay "get-dunked-on gate", his "The Chosen One" tattoo, and also being afraid to compete in the dunk contest.

How could you come away from the ECF blaming Lebron for the loss. The reason they lost is his teammates missed a shite ton of wide open shots and Brown is a horrible coach.

Durant will not be better than Lebron overall. He may be a great scorer, but never the overall player Lebron has become.

For everyone saying that KD is nowhere near LBJ as a defender, I think you are off base


I don't think so.

Lebron is far and away better on D than KD, not even close.

A more current example of his inability to make his teammates better would be last year getting upset by Dwight Howard, a journeyman pg, and 2 6'10 guys who can shoot but wouldn't go in the paint if you held a gun to their heads.


Dude, you can't say that with a straight face and tell me you watched every game in that series.

No way. No how.

Lebron averaged freaking 40/8/8, possibly the greatest performance EVER in a single NBA series.

And again, if you actually watched the series, the 1st 4 games Mo Williams and the boys missed a BILLION wide open shots.

WTF more do you want Lebron to do??? He creates a triple team, passes to wide open guys who miss wide open 3s and you blame LBJ for that? That's just hating and you know it.

If you didn't watch the series, look at the stats for games 1-4. Lebron was playing by himself and almost beating the Magic.

And subsequently he lost the scoring title without a fight as he chose to sit out the last few games of the season, another incredibly weak move.



Yea, maybe he shoulda went out there and played in meaningless games and busted his knee like Brandon Roy.

I love how NO ONE says it's weak for NFL players to sit but it's magically weak for LBJ to sit in meaningless games?

Haters, that's the only way you can explain it.

That's fine, but that has nothing to do with his play on the court and just how unbelievably wrong you've been in this thread about LBJ and supporting casts.

sitting and getting ready for a playoff run when they have the best record in the league, that is just plain stupid. (end sarcasm)

wow, just wow. You may be one of the dumbest human beings alive.

When did Carmelo become a mentally tough player? The guy is a headcase that has had trouble leading up to his potential because of his attitude.

Lebron's series against the Magic was one of the best in NBA history.

LOL. Exactly.

Entire 1st teams sit in the NFL and the media or NO ONE claims they should be playing for the fans.

That's ridiculous. The cavs should do what's best to win a title, and playing Lebron these last 3 games is most certainly NOT what is best.

Look at Brandon Roy. Of course, he needed to be out there, but why should Lebron risk an injury like that for ZERO reason? That's just dumb.

I guess he thinks winning a title in college requires more mental toughness than Lebron carrying Sasha Pavlovic and Eric Snow to an Eastern Conference championship.

Exactly. Anyone using that series as evidence against Lebron in ANY debate, either didn't watch that series, are blindly hating Lebron, or just clueless about the NBA. It HAS to be one of the 3.

LOL ever heard of that guy I think his last name is Wade. Wade >>>>> Durant now and in 3 years

And yes everyone get ready to laugh it up, BUT if Oden could ever get healthy he would put up 18-13-3. It would be Lebron #1 Oden #2.

Well glad you think that. I'll side with advanced statistics, you know the stuff NBA teams actually use to evaluate that kind of thing.

What game has Portland been in this year that is meaningless? They've been in the playoff race/seed hunt all year. That's a stupid arse thing to say.

Massive difference between playing a half and not playing at all. NFL teams don't completely sit their players. The starters at least play some. It's a rip to the fans that paid good money to see LeBron if he doesn't even suit up. His idol MJ didn't even do that when his Bulls set the all-time wins record or any other time they had clinched the conference. I'm cool with taking it easy, playing maybe a half or so (as NFL teams do) but LBJ obviously didn't want to do that. Probably because it would hurt his averages. Sitting out entirely was just the better option...

The guy is a transcedent talent for sure, I just think he's becoming a big old douche. Interesting to see what happens when/if he wins a title.

You guys are really underrating KD's defense, how far he's come and how far he can still improve...


I'm not at all. I think best case scenario Durant will be able to adequately defend 3s and defend 4s better.

Lebron can defend any position on the court. He has the speed to cover points and the size and strength to adequately cover centers. In fact, he played center at times on the olympic team.

It's not an underestimation to say that KD will never get to that point. That he doesn't have the explosiveness and versatility to do those things. Few people do.

this is stupid. this probably isn't LBJ's decision.
And what do they have to gain?

Peyton sat the entire last colts game.

we don't know if lebron is dinged or needs some rest and they have a long playoffs ahead. Kobe is sitting out the last 4 as well.
