Did you even watch any second of the Miami/Chicago series?? Great passing is a skill possessed by LeBron regardless of how much anyone likes him. I think the pass to Bosh for the last basket made is a play you want one of your players to make. That is called a winning basketball play. He made it. Call me crazy.

What he did against Chicago was nice. This is the Finals, and he's contributed next to nothing offensively in the fourth quarters of the two biggest games.

Game 1 is the most meaningless game in a 7-game series. And Chuck, don't tell me he's the best player in the world when he's getting carried by a teammate late in these games.

How big was that half court heave 3 pointer Chalmers made at half time? It was back court violation that wasn't called.

C'mon this is weak. It's Dwayne freakin Wade, not John Starks. Probably the 2nd or 3rd best scorer in the world. You are holding him to a standard that cant possibly be met because you don't like him. I was never a fan of Larry Bird but I respected his game.

Why is LeBron being compared to guys with multiple championships?

He's not one of the greats. Deal with it.

he's still in the midst of his prime and had to carry a pretty bad team for years. Look at cleveland post Lebron... 23 straight losses or something like that?

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?

Nine points in three fourth quarters. If you think that's worthy of the best player in the world, we have different ideas of what that means. He's a great talent, but it's painfully obvious that he's not even the best player on his team. Wade is the reason they'll win this series if they win it.

you should let the series play itself out.

Lebron is a huge reason they are in the Finals to begin with. He's been the MVP of the playoffs so far along with Dirk.
