Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who is no stranger to public criticism, wants the sports media to take it easy on NBA superstar LeBron James. LeBron's Heat were defeated by the Mavericks in the NBA Finals. "Winning a championship is not an easy thing to do regardless of talent," Rodriguez said. "LeBron is a once in a lifetime player, especially the last year." Rodriguez asked for patience in judging James. "We need to remember this kid is 26 years old, and celebrate his talent," Rodriguez said. http://newyorkpost.com/p/sports/yankees/rod_take_it_easy_on_lebron_AOAzA2pJgqQGcLmQPBuc8I
A 26 year old who thinks he's God's gift to basketball. If you are going to have a victory parade before you've won anything this is what you get.
I can see similarities in their career. Super-paid and considered to choke on the big stage. A-Rod won one and the criticism disappeared.
Spoken from someone who knows what exactly Lebron is going through. Over-hyped, over-rated, doesnt come through in the clutch, A-Rod heard all of this before he won a ring with Yankees.
