I can understand not liking the guy or his "decision", but the talent is there and he's one of the best players in the league, if not the best. He also happens to play with one of the best players in the league, if not the best, so what's the big deal if D-Wade scores points at the end of games and Lebron makes assists?

Uncly...please don't get me started.

He probably has the most talent....but what you went on to say about when he was here and when he left,is not accurate nor pretty.

How many times do you think Cleveland makes the playoffs with out LeBron since the year they drafted him?

Well I don't know...because without him Cleveland drafts someone else----and then everything changes.


But you are going to make me correct you.

Pretty bad teams?

Teams don't win 50+ 4 times all because of one player.They don't win 66 because of only one player. By your measure, Cleveland was better a better TEAM than Miami in James' last year here than in his first year with them.

And we lost him AND our only 2 centers..completely changed the strategy with a new coach and then lost the Brazilian as well as the point guard as well as the power forward we got from Washington.The 3 best players at that time.Raw rookies and the little experienced then joined in the fun.

Really,really.

They probably would have made them every year cause if they didn't draft Lebron they would have had Carmello.

and they still wouldnt have any rings!!! (sorry clyde)

Lebron is a much better basketball player than Melo. If the Cavs had drafted Wade who knows what would have happened.

I agree with that. They were close but the Spurs, Celtics and Lakers had too many stars. Doubt they would have won with wade either.

He should be compared to Charles Barkley, not Larry Bird.

pretty good summary

Even with Wade's surge in the Finals, James remains the Heat's playoff leader in points, assists and steals, and is virtually tied with Bosh for top rebounder. None of that seems to matter at the moment. It's as if LeBron's big shots in closing out the Celtics and Bulls didn't get forwarded to his new address at the Finals.

Spare me the pity party for a guy who calls himself The King. It's the Finals, his first shot at it in four years. The best player in the world can't be the third-best player in a Finals.

I don't know who he is. If you're talking about Robert Horry then he's a role player.

You, on the other hand, are a f.ucking idiot.

I used Bird because I hated the Celtics and didn't like Bird. But you know that once they win a few rings you guys will come up with something else to harp on.
