    Getting into an argument with blind haters is an exercise of frustration. Let it go.

    What exactly are people getting worked up over?

    An unconfirmed quote from some random Cavs personnel?

    Some random Euro blog reporting news that no one in the US has mentioned?

    Looks like everyone wants to believe what they want to.

    We need LBJ and Cleveland to win the Finals this year........
    So he stays in Cleveland and not New York............
    Making our draft picks from New York that much more valuable this offseason............
    to get Bosh.........
    to win a Championship..........
    to party like it's 1995...........

    Is this an Onion article making fun of Lebron's carrying of the basketball?

    No?

    Nevermind then.

    Are you referring to "More than a game?"

    Movie was unimpressive---you can basically make the same movie about any pro-athlete who grew up in the inner-city.

    What legit all star you are looking for? Shaq, Mo were all stars last year, Jamison was all star in 08. Shaq's a 18/8 guy in Suns. Jamison's a 20/10 guy that had the same stat line as Gasol before trade. Ain't LBJ supposed to make them better and keep their all star status?

    Sure, the 2 guys are not spring chicken. But Cavs got them for Ben, who was worthless in Cavs but find his position in Pistons again. You can't find more lopsided trade than this in recent history. You are sounding like Shaq and Jamison are at the caliber of Kwame Brown.

    Yep, Kobe can't do nothing without Shaq or Gasol. What did Shaq do without Penny, Kobe, Wade? He couldn't even make playoff with Nash and Amare. If LBJ was god that can lead a team by himself to finals as you said, with Mo, Shaq, Jamison and upgraded perimeter rosters, what are you crying for?

    cause you know everything that he's dealt with.

    no one cares about what you've played through or how much of a "man" you are

    Why in the world do you keep brining up Mo ****ing Williams? Mo isn't even a legit all-star considering he was like the 3rd backup chosen after players got hurt.

    And he damn sure does not play like an all-star come playoff time.

    Y'all keep bringing up LeBron having a bad game in Game 2. Well hello his numbers went like this 24,7,4. It's a damn shame that he has to score 30 while nearing a triple double for people to consider him having a good game.

    Meanwhile Mo shot 1-9.

    Can't even compare LeBron's bad game to Mo's bad game.

    All this for a series tied 1-1?

    After the Lakers-Thunder series got tied 2-2 on a Thunder blowout victory, the same people that proclaimed Kobe not just hurt and ailing but old and beat up, are the same people trying to downplay Lebron James' toughness. Its media sensationalists making the claims trying to create storylines. Nothing came out of Kobe's mouth. Nothing came out of Lebron's mouth.



    Sure hope this content is public domain, or Disney Government might come'a regulatin' :eek:

    Listen, you clearly lack either reading comprehension or basketball knowledge. Or both.

    I already mentioned what all-stars I was looking for. Are you blind? Consistent, true all-stars. Making the all-star team doesn't mean you are on the same levels as other all-stars :rolleyes: . The EC has weak all-stars like Joe Johnson while the West have players like DWill and Brandon Roy and CP3 (among others) fighting for final spots. Are you ready to admit that you're a dumb teenager? Clearly elementary logic that you went with.

    Why did you bring up Shaq's 18/8 as a Sun? Does that matter? He's older and more injured. He isn't producing at that level, and it's not because of LeBron. I'm sure a hater like yourself would like to believe otherwise. And yeah, Shaq's production is sure making it seem like it's one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history. That makes a lot of sense. The Pau Gasol for unproven players when Kobe was crying and throwing his franchise/teammates under the bus comes to mind. I bet it slipped yours, didn't it? You're so stupid I actually find it offensive.

    Whoever compared this Cavs team to Kobe's team with Kwame and, not to mention, Lamar Odom? I didn't. Besides, LeBron isn't being eliminated in the 1st round. He has done much more with less than Kobe has.

    No one is crying about anything. I am arguing with ignorant trolls like you who are trying to act as if it's all LeBron's fault that they lost to the Celtics (one game, might I add), added with the fact that people are saying his team is STACKED to the ceiling when clearly the Lakers are more talented. In fact, Pau Gasol has been more valuable to the Lakers so far this post-season than Kobe.

    What has Shaq done without Kobe/Penny/Wade? Well, he's played with them for most of his career, and carried them all very far. That leaves about, what, 3 years to discuss? He's going to be ranked higher than Kobe and there's nothing you can do to change that.

    Shaq couldn't make playoffs with Nash and co.? Maybe because he's really OLD? Don't use the name "Shaq" and act as if it still has the same value now than it did earlier in the decade.

    Who said LeBron is God? You are as dumb as they come, making little to no argument. Logic and reasoning is absent. Nothing but assumptions.

    LeBron is better than Kobe. LeBron has done more with less than Kobe. LeBron has played efficient basketball, especially in terms of PER. LeBron is playing well this off-season, having to carry the load for his team.

    The bottom line is that, injured or not, trolls like you need to find better reasons to hate LeBron.

    Lebron's elbow is now the second item on NBA.com's front page. When was the last time a player with a non-season-ending injury got that kind of coverage?
