I'm a Lebron fan, but what kills me is that it seems like he almost hides from the ball in the end of games. You watch Kobe, who I don't even like, but respect; he wants the ball every time in the end. Hell he even got mad he didn't get it. Lebron always tries to play it off by saying well I would've like to have had the ball. Well go get it. Step up and say give me the ball. As much as I like him I can never consider him great until he decides to step up and take control like he can. Durant steps up and takes the last shot every chance he gets. Don't always make it, but just go get it and be the superstar you are known to be.

This is pretty much how i feel. Lebron is the best player in the league, but at the end of games he just doesn't have the it factor.

It kills me to watch him sometimes, because you know how great he can be .

Yea there's no doubt he's the best on the planet, it's just like he doesn't want to be at times. Just step up take over and go win a ring. Quit waiting for wade to do it for you. He is the guy, but seems to want to be the 2nd or 3rd option. If that's the case he should've went to OKC with Durant

in a way. you have to follow hockey to get it.

The professional game too often has fighting, so I dont follow it anymore. It doesnt have to be like it is now, but I guess they are trying to compete with MMA for audience interest.

The fact that Lebron has a triple-double in every series people like to give him shite for is what is so fricking funny to me.

Hell he got the 'UN-CLUTCH' label after the series with Orlando where he put up a 40-8-8 average stat line or something insane like that.

STATS!!! AHH!!! LeBron is 6'9" 270 and runs a 4.4 sorry I'm not impressed when he can get his numbers. Do something when it counts for once LeBrick/LeChoke/TheFrozenOne/PrinceJames

I guess scoring 40 points a game doesn't count for anything, right?

Turn off ESPN and form an opinion for yourself, please.

Lebron is usually gassed by the end of games. He has carried every team he's been on for 44min a game. I'm not surprised he can't make shite at the end of games. He puta up triple double numbers, plays crazy defense all game and gets killed for not making the game winner.

See, that's the difference between the Lebron "haters" and "defenders"

I'm not a Heat fan. Lebron's success has nothing to do with me or any of the team's I root for.

Every opinion I have of the man on a basketball court is derived from FACT, shite that is documented and statistically supported.

Lebron haters generally:

1. Are HUGE Kobe fans
2. Watch too much Skip Bayless in the mornings
3. Believe that championships are individual accomplishments and measure success in rings.
4. Have an allegiance (either geographically or emotionally) to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
5. Are completely uninformed


Only #4 is acceptable.

1. Nope
2. Cant stand him
3. Its in the middle for me with that one. You can be an all time great without a championship (MArino), but winning championships (especially when you carry your team to them) really matter. Anyone who thinks completely on one side or the other of that argument is dumb IMO.
4. I can say that the reason I started watching the Cavs was because he played for them. I'm from Cincy tho, so I really don't have a strong connection.
5. Its not a matter of being uninformed...its a matter of what stats are hollow and what stats actually matter when it comes to determining an all time great. 40 ppg doesn't mean much when you somehow don't show that same determination/drive/ need for the ball when the game is on the line.
