    No.

    This is just too much hate. I don't like the guy as much as any of you, but you're really reaching on this one.

    This stupid question couldn't have gone in one of the other threads about Lebron James?

    I wouldn't say he is mentally weak but he doesn't appear to be on the same level as Kobe, Jordan, Bird etc.

    I just think the combination of little things he does on the court, the bench and in the media are the actions of a guy who isn't a cut throat competitor.

    I wouldn't call him mentally weak yet. But he obviously ain't used to playing with injuries at all. He's played off athleticism all his life and a little discomfort may hurt a lot of his plays.

    Wait until he's 30 and injuries build up and he'll decline much faster than Jordan, Kobe etc. does.

    lebrick is a choke artist, besides that he has no respect for the game and his opponents with all that breakdancing and picture taking and posing crap he does

    thats pedestrian by lebrons standards and u know it

    24 pts? thats ur response? lol

    obviously u just watched the boxscore, theres more to a game besides stats

    lebron took ill advised 3's and and missed mid range jumpers, his body language was bad and that spread thruought the team

    he clearly didnt look confident out there, those were very un-impactful 24pts during a game in which they were beaten after the 1st quarter

    You know you're a hater when you berate a guy for going 24-7-4 and everyone knows that was one of his bad games.

    agree with that. But were they on that level at this age? Bird might have been...don't think Kobe or Jordan were. Kobe was still deferring and Mike was still learning to trust..

    If anyone thinks LeBron is mentally weak how about they check out his performance against the Detroit Pistons.

    The Celtics were up by four points at halftime. Are you saying that four points is an insurmountable lead?

    Even McGrady got extended time after a 1st significant injury to show if he was truly mentally weak or not.

    Lebron only has 3-4 missed games a year. And the buzzards are still ready to pounce on his mental fortitude upon hearing he's favoring an injury.

    Both Kobe and Lebron only played 3 games in April, but its considered 1 player's doing it strategically, the other was pussing out. I dont get it.
