Forward Three wrote:This is why I don't think Miami can repeat this year. Yes, they got the W tonight against Portland, but they've let a lot of winnable games slide this year overall as well as just looked surprisingly vulnerable to 'bad'/average teams(yes, including the Lakers). Maybe it's because they are coasting through the regular season and they'll hit 5th gear in the post season, but maybe it's also complacency as well as teams having made adjustments and put a target on their back.

how the guy is scoring 30 points every game on 15 shots is crazy and its not like he doesn't rebound, play D and set up his teammates. LeBron right now is my perfect player.

If I could make a perfect player, I would take this current LeBron. Its easy to build around because he adjusts to all styles, its also efficient beyond belief, its consistent as hell. LeBron is doing right now what I always wanted Kobe to do. Let the game come to him rather than forcing the matter.

I still hate LeBron though, he is a douche.

I hate Wade quite a bit more. Wade is a Robin who thinks he's a Batman. LeBron is a Batman that didn't want to be a Batman at first.

yeah, doucheness is relative. wade's such a huge douche that lebron actually seems tolerable. also, he's like five times the player wade is, so it's a lot easier for me to accept his super duper stardom.

he's been ridiculous the past two years. enough that durant's amazing career year looks pedestrian in comparison. enough that i'm not all that bummed about the lakers not being good this year because they'd still get demolished by miami in the finals were they to get there.

I know it is love-feast Lebron on CL but seriously? This post is one paycheck shy of getting the LBJ tattoo. The best player you have seen in the last 15 years? Damn, how the universe has turned upside down. Wow.

Jesus.
