Well at least all sportswriters aren't idiots. Some actually look at things like past experience, and team work vs a one man show.

Good to see someone in the East isn't riding the Kings jock.

"King" James! That mother er ain't no King!!! He's a ! He's LeBroad!!!!

In Bruce Bowen, the Spurs have one of the top man-to-man defenders in the league. Bowen won't stop James, but he'll be a major annoyance who will affect his effectiveness.

I agree with this writer. I don't understand why people think Bruce's job is to STOP James...I think it's more about taking him out of his comfort zone and frustrating him into taking rushed/forced shots. I think he can manage that.

Despite the presence of James, who put together one of the greatest single-game playoff performances ever during the series against Detroit, San Antonio is simply the better team - perhaps by a sizable margin.

If, and that's a big if, James is the best player in these Finals, it is by only a smidgen over Spurs forward/center Tim Duncan.

Duncan doesn't play with James' flash and flair, but "The Big Fundamental" has three NBA championship rings, is a two-time NBA MVP and trails only Michael Jordan (six) with three Finals MVPs.

Personally, I'd either give a slight edge to Duncan or call the superstar factor a push.

In every other category, the Spurs have a decisive advantage.

Blesseth this writer, for he knoweth what he sayeth.
