Lol at Lebron declining. I think Bron is looking at his career from a long term perspective.Doing all that extra acrobatic stuff will only assist in the early decline of ones career, especially with his physical stature. So he is playing smart. These days everything is about stats, and yes he could average alot more points per game, but with low percentage shooting it makes no sense.Lets not forget that people are usually looking for a way to discredit Lebron. So that would just give them a reason to put an asterisk on his career and say "oh he wasn't great cause he was just a selfish scorer".

i havent forgotten :evil
 
My problem with LeBron is that he's boring. Same dunks, no exciting handles (never seen him make someone look silly), every drive is a foul, wide open layup or a kick, set shooter, his shots off the dribble aren't in rhythm, basic post game. He's fundamental and not very exciting to watch at all.

Great player and he's the best around but he does it so boring I don't even care. I'd rather watch guys like Durant, Kobe, Rose, Griffin, Irving, etc.

So him posterizing other players isn't embarrassing ?

Dude is 6'8" 270 doing things that were thought of as impossible from an athletic POV, but yet he's boring?

True to some point, but it's the efficiency he brings that brings the entertainment aspect down.

Lets be real here, most of yall hate Lebron cause its the thing to do and because he didn't go to the team that y'all wanted him to go to in 2010.

Would love to see your comments pre-2010.

Lebron is a FAR superior player than he was w/ the Cavs, but some of his antics (minus the dancing) remain the same.

If you're a Cavs fan, I don't know how you can see it otherwise.

Never saw that Tys screen before.

Not many dudes willing to check the King like that. Obvious flop, but it was still a hard screen. LeBron just has 50 pounds on him. :lol

Can people stop trying to tell other people who to like and find entertaining?

Lebron being better than durant is not the same as lebron being more enjoyable to watch than durant.

I spent all day yesterday talking about how lebron is a better basketball player than kd but I would rather watch durant every time

Imo out of the top teams in the league the heat are the least exciting of the bunch
 
it was in the playoffs. when it happened live, i thought it was a hard screen by chandler but he would have been called for a foul even without all that extraness from lebron

I was referring to handles and yes it's cool when he does posterize but it's not like it's a common occurrence. For all that athleticism sometimes I wanna see a windmill, maybe a 360, reverse, SOMETHING! All I get is the basic LeBron tomahawk every time.

That's another thing, some people get so caught up in the numbers and percentages that the game and entertainment doesn't matter to them, but really it's the only thing I don't like about LeBron. Wade's more likely to do something spectacular when he's in than him at times. Might catch Wade doing a 360 layup or some crazy no-look pass or something idk but with LeBron it's just stick to the script

That's because he wasn't as efficient as he is now. To say he is FAR more superior, that's a reach bro. He plays a lot smarter now, rather than harder (II).

He is entertaining and always will be because of his athleticism/size - but he really does one style of dunk on a fastbreak 90% of the time...

I attended the Heat vs Cavs game last month...and honest to God, I was bored watching that game. It wasn't really that fun. I can honestly sit here and say the only thing I remembered Lebron doing from that game was dunking once and pointing his fingers in the air...:lol

i don't think that's necessarily true from what i see here or hear from people i know

it's ok to not like certain sports figures. not every one has to fall in line just cause

Come on, Seaman. That's a ridiculous notion. I demand that everyone like CP and Blake Griffin. Starting right now.
