    You do realize Shaq was throwing up 40 points a game in the Finals right? Lebron's biggest strength is attacking the rim and time and time again he has been shut down. Lebron has only gotten to 25 points in a Finals game ONCE in 8 tries......

    Yes Lebron has potential but lets take away his flashy little dunks (which are usually only in transition) and what do you have? Weak post game, weak jumper, weak handles, above average defense, and plays hot potato with the ball or throws up bricks in crunch time.

    Cuban's was probably mad, but he ain't going to say a word after 2006.

    So what's the excuse for Lebron now? What, Dallas fans not being nice enough to him or something? Wade took away his shot opportunities? Face it, Lebron pulls a Peyton when it comes to the big time.

    Fact: Trent Dilfer had a better superbowl run then Peyton Manning. Trent's passer rating was 10 points higher, and its widely accepted Baltimore's defense carried Trent. Why isn't it for Peyton? Because everyone wants to make excuses to why some players just plain and simple CHOKE when it comes down to put up or shut up.

    Just quit with the excuses. Lebron is an egotistical jerk that has treated his fans, team, and owner like garbage and like Peyton, throws anyone but himself under the bus for his shortcomings when it really counts.

    LeBron sure is an egotistical jerk, no wonder he doesn't care about his legacy and is happy sharing the spotlight with another Hall of Famer, wow talk about "ME, ME, ME!"

    And God, he honored his contract, didn't publicly write the team owner a big hate mail, and stays out of trouble off the court. What a jerk!

    1. See The Decision, declaring 7 titles, saying his teammates died in the moment, secretly devising the duo years before it happened, etc.

    2. Looks to me he has yet to step into it in 8 Finals games.

    3. You would be pissed too if your franchise player toyed with you until the very last second and embarassed your team on national television.....especially after how much you and the fans spoiled him. It was CLASSLESS and a slap to the face to that franchise.

    FYI, you don't have to be a criminal to be an .

    And also, I'm not a "hater". The term "hater" infers I'm am jealous of his success. I'm not and neither is the rest the country. Before he acted the way he did, he was adored. Now we see him for the punk he really is. It's not the success or even the fact he teamed up with the best players around. It's the fact he has acted without any integrity and is so conceited. Hell he apologizes a year after the fact and it was a 2 second half-assed attempt.

    1. What key players missed a significant amount of games? Ok, let's say Bosh doesn't miss 12 games and they miraculously win all 12...which would most likely just be good enough to sneak in the last seed and then get bounced in the first round. MVP!

    2. Lol he didn't, you really won't give up on this... LeBron, Durant, Kobe, Wade were getting multiple 1st place and 2nd place votes. I called his one 5th place vote meaningless because that's precisely what it was. You know who else got one 5th place vote? Billups and Stephen Jackson. MVP!

    Bosh is Danny Granger, Zach Randolph, Kevin Martin etc... Guys who will fill out the stat sheet every night but can't lead a winning team.

    3. Just like? Yeah, except LeBron couldn't score enough against the best defense for a whole generation...in the Finals.

    4. Cleveland had a few good defensive players, but having a back to back MVP who's also the best defensive player in the world can do wonders and mask a lot of flaws. Have a team with LeBron and Wade and suddenly Bibby and Bosh are starting on the best defensive team in the world. Funny, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce never got praised for their defense until they got to play with KG.

    I never said LeBron's cast was terrible, but don't let back to back best record fool you, that supporting cast is built around for the best player in the world. Switch out LeBron for Bosh, and that team is a 7th seed at best.

    And the series against Boston, you know, the series where he supposedly was terrible and choked? Yeah, against the best defense in the league, he only averaged 27, 7, 9 on 45 percent shooting. God, he was so terrible and it was his fault they lost, his team was the one that showed up!

    In the elimination game, LeBron was so terrible, he only had a 27, 10 and 19 game, and his so called superstar acquisition, Jamison, had an awesome 5 pts on 20 percent shooting. LeBron couldn't cure cancer, what a choker!

    1. I don't recall him calling out his teammates.

    I agree The Decision was silly and wouldn't have been that bad if he would have told the Cavs ahead of time he wasn't going to resign. It was an act of immaturity. The entire big 3 said they could win 5 titles, and why not, there's huge expectations for this team for the next 8 years. But if you've been watching the Heat as of late, especially in the playoffs, even when he isn't scoring, like in the Finals, he's come a long way and is becoming more and more of a leader.

    2. Don't forget who lead them there. Don't forget who shut down the MVP, because it wasn't Wade.

    3. Yeah, I'd be pissed but I wouldn't write a public hate mail in all caps, acting like I just put a voodoo spell on him. The owner made an a** of himself, and what he did looked far worse than The Decision. His behavior made Cleveland the very last resort for any free agents they'd want to attract.
