    Show me the part where I said he would be considered the greatest ever.

    I said one of the...big difference.

    Lack of hand checking helps Lebron a LOT.

    As a defender you have to either have enough strength to outmuscle Lebron or be fast enough to beat him to the spot. Lebron is too physically gifted for that. With hand checking it would be possible to slow him down a little.

    But, even with all that, Lebron is MVP. No one else is close

    Actually, I would argue that lack of hand checking hurts Lebron, or at the very least helps him a lot less than it helps every other star perimeter player. Lebron, at about 250 pounds, is a LOT stronger than every other star perimeter player. If defenders could hand check him, he wouldn't be that effected by it. Now if Lebron was able to hand check the guy is he guarding all he wants, that would be a huge advantage for him.

    Sometimes I wish they'd let you trip a player in the NBA. It could be the only way to stop LerBon when he's going on a full fast break attack.

    My sources indicate that Julius Erving was not an M.D., and that Cadillac Anderson drove a Camaro.

    You think that's bad? I heard that Thomas Hamilton actually liked to eat three sandwiches!

    This. Anyone who watched that game and has half a brain could see that he simply just quit. He was trying to prove a point. That his teamates sucked. Which they did. And they got him the needed help in the following years.

    It was still despicable, though. I don't care how much my teamates suck. I would give it my all in a game 7 if I'm the premiere player and am expected to perform my job for which I'm paid millions of dollars.

    So he had a bad game. It happens. It's not like he went out and got embarrassed the way David Robinson was the night he got his MVP trophy.

    I always laugh when people bring up Mo Williams when someone says LeBron still doesn't have enough help. They say he has all-stars in Jamison and Williams.

    Check Mo out in the playoffs he does not play like an all-star.

    You can beat him to the spot and still get called a blocking foul.

    If he could play well last game, this is not a good excuse.

    LOL. The guy dropped like 35 last game. They lose game 2 and now his elbow is the reason?FYI.....Kobe has a BROKEN finger that will require surgery, a strained elbow shouldn't be a excuse at this point. Man u Lebron fans take excuse making to whole different levels

    Since it has been established that you aren't a Lebron fan, what makes you dislike the guy so much?

    mo will is nowhere near an all-star. he got that bid b/c he played on the best team and they felt obligated that the best team needed 2 players.

    dude has been a ghost for the most part in the playoffs both years

    I always laugh at people that say (about a random player, not only lebron): wow, he is amazing, how can score 30+ points being injured! and the next game he dont play well, and say: well he had a bad game, because he is injured.

    and dont know if he was really injured.
