King Lame
To start, off I just want to say: this is all the media's fault. Had they treated Lebron like a normal incoming player out of high school, like a Josh Smith, and not like the second coming, I would go easier on the guy. Why do so many people speak so highly of this boy? Laybrin is Shawn Kemp 2.0. He is Kemp with a little better court vision. Kemp got to the finals too. He just never won. Kemp at least showed the world his skills in a dunk contest, Lebron, N/A. ESPN has been stroking this guy for way too long. If you get told something long enough of course you start to believe. Ever read Orwell, 2+2=5? Come on, end it, there are some of us out here who can look past the hype. Lebron has like 10 game winners in his life, right? Less? I dunno. He's not clutch, he turns the ball over more than any star that I can remember and doubles that nightly with missed shots. You always see the craziest play he does all night in the highlights and then we are supposed to look at this guy like he's basketball Jesus. Fuck that! It's got to end. Homeboy shot 19% over the last two games against the C's. Come on! I've just had enough. Nike is to blame too. Witness? Witness what? A lot of missed shots? A lot of blah blah blah by sports anchors defending his poor performances. Trust me if I started a franchise right now, keeping age in mind, I'd still take Kobe over him at 30. I'd take CP3 over him and Dwight Howard. I'd even consider Chris Bosh, Josh Smith or Deron Williams. I'm not trying to sell jerseys on my team, I just want W's, that's why I'd take those guys. Lebron I'll admit this, you are a great host for TV. SNL, great, so was the ESPYs. Maybe you should join the view, or the male view with Mario Lopez, whatever that show is called. Enjoy the sweep, I hate the Celtics but at least by them winning it's one step closer to Lakers v. Celtics. That's good for me, that's good for David stern, that's good for ratings and that's good for the public. We can finally watch two perfectly assembled, storied franchises battle it out for basketball supremacy. No Lebron in the finals, he does not equal rating, because he does not equal talent.
