everyone else is horrible, they were dam lucky to make the Finals IMO


This is it, James need MORE help.

If they could get Howard and Chris Paul with Wade and Bosh AND a good coach I think James would win it.

All he needs is a better coach.

You guys act like they were below .500 and somehow stumbled into the finals by chance. They were like less then 5 points away from sweeping.

The MSB has officially gone full retard.

Crowning them NBA champs from day 1 is idiotic

They did a good job meshing as well as they did during the regular season.

I'll help.

you said:

I like what Jordan said about him: "I didn't want to join a team with Larry Bird and Majic Johnson and go beat up the rest of the league. I wanted to play AGAINST the best players".


i said:

Easy to say when MJ was in a market like Chicago and Bird/Magic were in great markets/all time great teams, and not in Cleveland.


Then YOU said:

Excuse me... I thought Lebron was in Miami now. small market? are you kidding?




That about explains it.

Myth that everyone else is horrible

Chalmers/Haslem/Miller should be enough to get it done.

If Lebron wasn't mentally weak, Heat would be the champions right now.

Pretty much. James, among the all-time elites, appears to be the one in whose head you can get the easiest. Imagine Rodman guarding him. Eek.

The Heat should have won this year, and they'll be better next year. Honestly, I they replace Bibby with a mediocre PG, that might actually do the trick for two straight years.

I disagree a lot with this.

He was anointed by the media at 15, and the minute he did or said something that didn't sound right, the media ripped him a new one.

James, as we see him, is more of a product of our desire to be entertained than a product of his own action.

The comparison's with MJ. It's ridiculous. Like it was said today, he's closer to being Scottie Pippen than he is being Michael


I may not even deny that LeBron might be the best "basketball" player in the game today, with the only other candidate being Kobe.

What the two of them lack, glaringly, is the ability of other greats from the past - and I'll cite specifically:

Bill Russell

Jerry West

Julius Irving

Wilt Chamerblin

Bill Walton

Larry Bird

Magic Johnson

Michael Jordan

-- to both make their teammates (and thus, their team) better and get to a point where their will takes over and they become effectively unbeatable when the game is on the line.

While I've marvelled at Lebron's abilities to handle the ball, pass, shoot, drive, score, play defense - EVERYTHING a basketball player has to do, he does it well, he also seems to lack "it", that the others, many of whom did not possess any particular ability other than height (Larry Bird couldn't clear a 2x4 laying flat and couldn't run the 100 yard dash if you timed him with a calendar, while still in his 20s) definitely did.

Guess you're too young to remember Reggie Jackson. The media hammered him in pre-tweet/internet era.
