The rings argument can certainly go both ways and always has. It's the old Trent Dilfer and Jeff Hostetler and Brad Johnson have rings and Dan Marino doesn't. Luc Longley has multiple rings and Patrick Ewing has zero. Glenn Big Baby Davis has a ring and Charles Barkley doesn't.

LeBron has been very good these playoffs in 2011 despite what happened game 2 of the finals. That's not really debatable. I don't watch the games that closely or re-watch them after the fact to see what happened. I can't say if what happened the last 7 minutes was Dallas finally turning up the heat on defense forcing the Heat into the LeBron dribble out the shot clock offense which unfortunately I saw happen a lot in Cleveland in post season or if LeBron was totally at fault. I would have to think Dallas perhaps had a lot to do with what happened, as to be in the finals they have to be at least a somewhat effective team you would think.
