He didn't disappoint me tonight
Me either...
his team sucks, there is not much else to be said.
his teammates disappointed me. lebron did all he could do
1 man < Team ...
LBJ + someone < TD, TP, Manu (even tonite), Bruce, Brent, Mike, Robert, Fabricio, Elson ...
As much as you all will disagree, Lebron isn't a bad player. He actually is a very good player, and everyone else on his team blows ing ass. I don't even think Tim Duncan could win a game if he was surrounded by the trash Lebron is.
Of course he is a good player. Doesn't mean that he alone can beat a team that plays team ball better than anyone in the league. . .
Right thats what I'm saying. But somehow everything has turned into mocking Lebron, that's all I'm saying.
Give the young man credit where credit is due.
I think this has been a season of maturing for him, and he will come back stronger next year because of it. Look at his post game interview. No whining and complaining about that no call at the end. No excuses. He will be a real leader on whatever team he plays. I gained a lot of respect for him last night, regardless of the "media hype" we have had to put up with. Admit it....We would all love to see him in a Spurs uniform.
He tried to will his team to victory, but his team just isn't up to the challange. And that's about all there is to say.
exacty. Thats the funny thing, every Spurs fan bashing him is doing it out of sheer spite becuase everyone in San Antonio would love to see him in a Spurs uniform. He has been hyped, but I think with his stats and records broken so far he has lived up enough to justify it. I mean we arn't talking about the pitcher for the Red Sox who hasn't done anything.
Well said.
This is about a team, not about LeBron. (As much as the media has been all about LeBron.)
I also gained respect for him last night off the court. On the court he is going to be around a long time and win his share.
We knew it coming into this series. One man can win a game but not a series.
You have to lose to know how to win.
The Cavs put some players around him and their team will be something to fear.
I like LeBron, always have. Trying to imagine myself in his position, I think he's doing so much better in terms of maturity and poise than I would! He and his team just aren't quite ready. Are people like Gooden and Boobie really starters on a Finals-ready team? He needs people around him who complement his game.
I think he's done a real good job. That being said, he really needs to work on his outside shot. You saw what people like Amare and Tony did with a summer or two of work--made a big difference. If Bron gets to the point of automatic from 18 feet or so...
He didn't disappoint me, but even if one man can beat the Wizards, Nets and Pistons, LBJ can't beat the 07 Spurs, they are on another level.
My respect for him grew during these finals as a player and as a man. He still needs some work on his shooting, another coach and another supporting cast to get it done.
Doubt LeBron at your own peril. He's getting some valuable Finals experience early in his career. This is like taking AP Calculus as a Sop re in High School. It's a huge career leap for him that will pay dividends in the future.
That ad is exactly why on some level LeBron and the Nike execs have to be somewhat thankful that foul wasn't called last night. If LeBron steps to that line and misses even one of those three freebies...he disappoints "the League, the City of Akron, the City of Cleveland"....not to mention Nike and all the others cashing in on his fame.
I'm not saying he'd be forever known for that moment, but it sure wouldn't have helped. Now LeBron apologists can look back and say he got jobbed.
I wont knock him. LeBron is good he is really good, and its great watching him play, when he plays at his level. His team is really dragging ass and he needs a better supporting cast.
Lebron has been impressive in many ways on the court and now we are seeing some of his character in things like last night's post-game interviews. I have been surprised and pleased by that. What causes many SA fans to have so much heartburn is that he was annointed NBA saviour before ever even getting into the playoffs whilst our guys get tagged "dirty" and "boring", "floppers" and "asterisks". Nike jumps all over the Cav bandwagon while the team that won two of the last four championships gets ignored.exacty. Thats the funny thing, every Spurs fan bashing him is doing it out of sheer spite becuase everyone in San Antonio would love to see him in a Spurs uniform. He has been hyped, but I think with his stats and records broken so far he has lived up enough to justify it. I mean we arn't talking about the pitcher for the Red Sox who hasn't done anything.
Lebron will get his championships if Ferry and company get him some decent help (and maybe someone who can draw up an offensive game plan). We'd just like to be given the respect that a multiple championship-winning team has earned. San Antonio never did before a guy named Tim Duncan showed up, but Tim - who espouses many of the same values as Lebron - might as well be on another planet as far as the media mavens go.
So I'm sorry for the Spur Fan abuse of Lebron, but at the same time understand the frustration behind it. Yeah, I know, "you guys have three championships and have no right to complain" but this team has received less respect than any NBA championship team in recent memory.
I also like the kids game and his heart...He will be a team leader wherever he goes and he will just get better.
That being said, with their current contract situation I don't see any way that Cleveland can put a compe ive team around him before his opt out year in 2010. By that time he will have been in Cleveland for 8 years. Cavs will be in the same situation the Spurs were with David Robinson...good but not good enough...they can't expect any help from the draft without a huge amount of luck...and that kid has tasted the finals now...He may be from Ohio but I will be amazed if he stays after 2010.
Lebron is an incredible young talent ...... ESPN just needs to realize there will never be another Jordan.
Isn't it natural to mock something that is hyped as god, the ultimate player ever, the second coming, the Chosen 1, the best thing to happen to basketball in this decade, and it's pushed in your face every commercial, forum thread, BSPN spotlight (even his missed shots were highlights but they cut off the miss), and media outlet.
He earned my respect, but no that much hype and fear. And your right, he can't do it himself, but he's not the end all be all and stop cramming it down our throats. He is not the Messiah of basketball.
Lame Ad.
I think quite the contrary as most do. If you want the cavs and lebron to improve, take lebron out of focus. Give the ball to Pavlovic, Gibson, Gooden, they arent's scrubs at all. Make them play as a team. If Lebron isn't shining it's because there's no room for him to play, no options. Blame it on your coach, apparently he has bought the hype more than anyone else.
That makes a lot of sense. The Cavs need to make the others produce. Right now it seems like every single play out of the book is "Get LeBron" the ball. They need to open up the floor for the other players to do something.
Actually, the fact that LeBron isn't a bad player is the one thing Spurs fans will agree with you on.As much as you all will disagree, Lebron isn't a bad player. He actually is a very good player, and everyone else on his team blows ing ass. I don't even think Tim Duncan could win a game if he was surrounded by the trash Lebron is.
Well, except for Ducks. LeBron could score 50 points to win the NBA le in a sweep then get the Finals MVP (After winning the League MVP as well as DPOY, scoring, rebounding and assist les) then go out after the game and save a family of 5 from a burning building, piss on that fire to put it out, cure cancer and solve world hunger and Ducks would say...
"What took you so long?"
