    Hmm...I feel bad for the guy. Though I really hated him because of all the hype, but this guy works as hard as anyone and yet still comes up short year after year because of having no help. I wonder if he will request to be traded this offseason. Morey better be on it if he does.

    Oops, I meant to say "I really hated all the hype...". Nobody can hate this guy after watching him put up Jordan like numbers every year.

    They should have used that sczerbiak contract this year.

    If he doesn't find his Pippen soon, we might be looking at the next nique/tmac instead of Jordan.

    Tmac for LBJ is now close to reality.

    comparisons to 'nique or tmac aren't really appropriate, even if LeBron retired tomorrow.

    Understandable but as a superstar of the league, He should show some respect to the league's commitments. Facing reporters after games are league sanctioned events thus some respect must be given.

    Skipping the media doesn't bother me much, maybe a little more since he usually basks so easily in media adulation.

    From what I saw, it looked like he ran out of the gym without even giving any congratulations to any of the Magic. If he did, and I just missed it, then OK. But if he bolted, which is how it looked to me, then that's pretty classless and he goes down a peg in my estimation.

    I'm sorry but this is a textbook example of a double standard. "Not so supporting cast"? The media wasn't saying anything before during the regular season when the Cavs were winning games left and right. The media didn't say anything when the Cavs swept their first 2 rounds. Now all of a sudden, it's back to square one, they're now his "crappy" teammates again.

    Can you imagine the backlash if any other star player did what Lebron did in that last game? Think about that for a moment, think about what we would do if T-Mac did that, hell even Yao.

    I don't think the article mentioned that he didn't travel on the team bus back to the team hotel. He won't be traveling back to Ohio with the team.

    He's going to stay in Orlando with his mom for a while.

    Lebron has never been to the NBA finals, only the Conference finals.

    I get that feeling to.

    I don't think Cleveland is going to do enough to field a team that can really help LeBron.

    Spurs?

    Granted, he got swept, but it still counts.
