It absolutely amazes me the criticism LeBron is taking for "shrinking in big spots." First off let me say that I hated his guts when he decided to leave the Cavs and join the Heat. Yes, I did have big bets on him to stay in Cleveland and I absolutely hated the way he went on tv to destroy Cleveland fans but it really seems like that is going to stick with him no matter what he does in his career. At this point, people just need to move on.
Now onto the whole theory that he has come up small in big spots. Yes, in the past couple games he has deferred to Wade. Wade has been hot, why shouldn't he defer to a guy with a hot hand? Besides that, are people completely forgetting how incredibly clutch the guy was in the Celtics/Bulls series? Time after time he came up huge down the stretch of games and carried his team to wins. It's amazing how quickly those performances are forgotten.
It absolutely baffles me how short of a memory people have. But I guess in Lebron's case nothing will ever be good enough unless he single handedly wins every single game. No matter what he does, it'll never be good enough for most people.

I am not a BB fan at all. Beside March madness, I never really watch it. I do agree with you though. I was listening to ESPN radio and WFAN and that all they seem to talk about. That pass at the end of the game to hit the game winning shot i thought was pretty clutch. You dont have to be the highest scorer on the team every night to have a good game.
Doesnt defense count for anything? Seemed to me he had a pretty good game on that side of the ball.
Honestly though, all I cared about in the first few games and again tonight is that they hit (14) 3 pts shots for my prop bet,,,,,,,,,,,,,

totally agree. but he makes it so hard to like him. he brought this upon himself promising 9 rings at that miami big three launch party last summer...
the dude has scored when he needed to, he is defending like a mad man and is deferring to wade when he needs to. if anything he has become a even BETTER player than he was..
probably best physical specimen to play the game of basketball....

sad but true Thats LeClutch whatever he does he will be critizised...
Fucked up thing is, IF Miami wins and Wade will get MVP then there will be some serious bashing on LeGOAT LOL. Wade carried the team, Bron is the Robin blablabla. Indeed people already forgot how he closed Boston, Bulls series and forgot how Wade played in Bulls series.

i respect what the man does playing basketball...but all the showboating, talking to the crowd, the boxer punch krap, the decision....just grates on me. it is crass and low rent.
if nothing else the heat have thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of the nba and have served noticed that the other teams should get better FAST or they are going to get run out of the gym.

exactly same thing for me... lebron is an amazing talent, superstar w/o question, future HOFer but i dont like him especially when im a celtics fan.. i respect his game and damn he is good but i doubt i will ever like him for the shit he has done UNLESS he joins the celtics lol, then i will forgive haha.

He wants to be Jordan, you think Jordan would've played that 4th quarter. In the 4th early he had an break away dunk, than a turnover, travel and shot clock violation. After that he wanted no part of the ball. You couldn't get him to shoot at gun point. He was wide open and passed 3 ft to his right to Chalmers for a reason. That's why Wade was yelling and ripping into him for not shooting. He looked like a deer in a headlights, the best player on the floor is DWade not Lebron. DWade has a ring for a reason and did it without another star. If you want to have a stupid TV show to announce where your're going to play than act like it. Lebron reminds me of ARod, that's not a compliment.

If he would just stop crying on every freaking play, and just play basketball, the hate would subside a bit. But he is just such a flamer.
This coming from a guy that cannot stand his face, but im just saying stop whining, play the game, accept the refs calls, and he should start seeing a bit of love in a year or so. Is that going to happen? No he cant change, he's just a little bitch at heart

That's because he isn't the man on this team, he knows it, his team knows it and never will be. Name me one big time all time great that defers late in the Finals, just one. To say he is even better is nonsense. It's not like he's creating shots for Wade like Magic. Wade is doing most of it himself off the dribble. Lebron is Pippen to this team and that's OK, lets not call him the best though, that would be a crime.

there is a simple answer to that bud. the media along with pretty much everyone live in and are prisoners of the moment. the media are so simple minded its unreal and they influence unfortunately millions.... they have to do a 3 hour talk show every day and they usually fill it up with bull shit. i love mike and mike bc imo they are about the only ones who dont fall into that. lebron will be hated for a long time for the way he left cleveland and the fact people dont want to ever replace jordan. i dont think lebron is jordan, in fact i think they are completely different players. imo lebron is more of a magic. in the end he doesnt give a shit either because he wouldnt have went to miami to begin with if he cared. its obvious the way he is willing to pass he just wants to win. so at the end of the day he will laugh when all is said in done with his multiple rings and billion dollars and im a celtics fan so i would have loved to see him fail this year. but it is what is

with all due respect he took a cleveland cavs team to the finals who won how many games this year? you cant compare anything to this because its never happened. if magic played with jordan i guarantee you magic or jordan would be passing the ball. this heat team is unprecedented and lebron is playing SMART.

Jordan never played with anyone as good as wade so thats tough to really compare.

Must be a young kid in his early 20's. Not saying Pippen was better but he was 2nd best player in the league for a long time.
funny how pippen never gets any credit, i wouldnt say he was the 2nd best player in the league but he was a fucken amazing player.. what people dont understand is how truly awesome pippens D was, the guy was a shutdown defender, it was insane how good at D he was.. he was underated because people just look at his Offense which wasnt that bad either..

its just sad to say but all of you guys are blind. lebron needs to be the man because that is how we perceived him as.so if he doesnt play well during the finals he is a bust.
just like the YANKEES its either world series or bust? isnt this true with lebron?
he is a loser and will never win i guarantee that.his stats are just aweful offensively and deserves no credit in them possibly winning a championship. d wade is playing his ASS off . i do not see lebron blocking shots, getting big putbacks for rebounds? just another role player playing his roll.

Get real. He thinks of himself as a legend. Not a great player, not the best player: but a something bigger than the game. He absolutely deserves the flak when he performs like that. Not sure what the issue is. The guy is soft as Charmin.

HE gave himself the nickname KING JAMES. HE proclaimed himself as THE CHOSEN ONE. HE wore number 23 before he realized he'd never actually be number 23. HE had an hour television show to utter 7 of the dumbest words anybody has ever phrased together.
LEBRON did this to himself. He just isn't that great. Comes up small in huge moments. Has never even won an NBA Finals game being the best player on the court. Can't trust him during crunch time. Every time he shoots a 3, I expect it to brick. Isn't clutch at the free throw line.
His true identity is an athletic freak that needs to defer to a batman (Wade). If the Heat don't win this series it is all on HIM whether you like it or not. Being a self-proclaimed KING, he should be able to get a ring being the 2nd best player on a team.
