Seriously speaking, the guy is doing absolutely everything in his power throughout his career to win an NBA championship. From his first NBA Finals appearance carrying Larry Hughes and Boozer to this year's sorry ass Miami team. Plain and simple, Lebron needs help. I know people are going to point at the fact that he has Wade, but D Wade is not even a Top 10 player this post season.
And to add salt to injury, unlike great organizations like the Lakers, Celtics and Spurs who surrounds their franchise players with HOF coaches and quality role players, Miami offered Lebron Eric freakin Spoelstra! I can't help but imagine Lebron with a big man like Bynum and Gasol or players like Ibaka, Westbrook and Harden or with a coach like Jackson, Popovich or even Doc Rivers. For some reason, the greatest player of his generation has wasted his career with Mike Brown and Spo. Ridiculous.
At this point, Lebron is going down the same path as Karl Malone and Barkley. I hope Pat resigns next year and just keep his share as a minority owner. We need a new GM that has balls to break this trio because its not working. Obviously, Wade is not going anywhere but I sure do hope they package him for another talent to help Lebron win a championship. Heck, trade him to Orlando for Dwight and absorb Hedo's contract if they have to.
bron just not a leader imho, should wait till he turns 35 or so and signs for vet min with some true contender, running the coattail and winning a ring for himself before retiring like payton did tbh
Miami can't win with Bosh/Wade/Lebron on the same team

The reason why Miami won't win together....

Bandwagoning at its finest![]()
Lebron hasn't received much blame from Heat fans, tbh, anybody that consistently watches the team realizes that he has been run into the ground..he does most of his damage in the 1st quarter and gets progressively worse, mostly due to fatigue..no player in NBA history has as much responsibility as Lebron, tbh..
KG blocking his shot in the 4th is a prime example..
Wade has received a lot of backlash from Heat fans, and while he deserves some of it, Spoelstra and the shooters deserve most of the blame..
we know it's the phili who cost us our championship run last year, and this year he's putting us at the brink of elimination now.
the phili s, you all![]()
your sig is starting to look kinda useless, chrisrichards
i do feel bad for lebron though, such great talent possibly wasting his prime years
But sometimes I find it hard to feel bad for him. He brought it to himself. I'm not going to lose sleep if he wins the championship, but I will never forget his self-serving, narcissistic spectacle The Decision.
If anyone is to blame for the Heat, it's certainly not Lebron. Lebron hasn't wilted, he's made plays... can't ask for much more from him. And I'm a Lebron hater.
it's self-serving and narcissistic to raise 6 million $ for kids..
Now I've heard it all, tbh..
that dumbass deserves all the bad karma being flung at him. that guy.
Look at the sandwich that David Robinson (pre-Rodman) or KG (pre-Boston) was surrounded with. There've been NBA superstars with a lot less than Wade and Bosh around them.
On the flipside, look at the way Chris Paul spends 3 1/2 quarters creating for others, then only takes over in the last 5 minutes. Your stat lines won't be as huge that way, but that's how you keep something in the tank to win games with.
he had 30 and 12 .... and other than Wade and Bosh in limited miniutes, poo from everyone else. Spoelstra is done after this season if they don't win .......
No, he has all the help he needs already. He just needs to man up and take the alpha dog role. He still defers too much at critical moments of the game. At the last olympics, he claimed he was the leader of the team, but when it mattered the most, Kobe took over. Until Lebron's mentality changes, he will always struggle winning the ship without a ton of help. If he had Kobe's or MJ's mental strength, he'd be working on his 3rd ring.
Have you seen Miami's offense when Lebron sits, or steps back?..it's atrocious..
You proved my point, tbh..Lebron does just as much for his team as David Robinson or KG, despite having 2 other star players on his team..that should not be the case..
There have been many sources that have reported that Lebron may be unhappy with his role in Miami, because he left Cleveland so that he would no longer need to play every possible role for his team..he did not join the Heat to play the same role he did in Cleveland..
Part of it is due to Wade's struggles and Bosh's injury, but most of it is on the coach..
Does not compute.![]()
Kobe has always played 1 role on his team..he's a scorer with occasional playmaking..
The Lakers hid him on defense, while Ariza and Artest guarded the opposing team's best player..he had 3 7 footers on his team and a DPOY candidate in Artest, along with the GOAT coach drawing up..
It's easier to perform in clutch time when you can maintain your energy by only having to play 1 role, all game..
wade and james have to go for 80
their is NO high fiving each
their is NO CHEMISTRY ON THE HEAT
IT COULD BE JAMES FAULT
heat won without james
Stern sending a message to the rest of the league about colluding to form superteams.
True, Kobe doesn't play both ends of the floor much anymore. But have you seen him during the first 3 runs with Shaq ? He was doing everything and performing in clutch as well. He wasn't afraid of the moment or big shots.
Regardless, I still think James will eventually get over the hump despite his mental shortcomings. But honestly, he has no excuse not to win now. Boston are the underdogs and are old.
