    What are you talking about. I am a lebron fan. I was just pointing out that people have been praising him so long that it is kind of understandable how he would be kind of arrogant.

    The Heat have a lot of issues...you have to remember that it took a HOF coach to expose so many weakness for the Heat...and they were all remarkably healthy this year...

    The game was over before it started. Did anybody seriously believe the spurs were going to win this game?

    He IS a sh!tty person. He's also a great basketball player too. They are mutually exclusive attributes. What's the problem?

    He is still playing. Legacy is usually sealed near the end of a player's career.
    Spurs choked it away in game 6.
    Lebron is still no where near GOAT.
    Definitely one of the greats though.

    Big respect to the Heat. They played their game. I wonder how ever the Spurs will regroup next season. Changes are needed but then again this is the Spurs, they hardly ever change anything and are still good... Manu just needs to retire though. What a total failure.

    List five reasons you believe he is somehow more sh!tty than you or anyone you know.

    He quoted Lil Wayne in his Finals MVP speech. How can you hate on that?

    happy for the heat... but super sad i LOST my playoff winnings on this game... If only Duncan had made that layup or the spurs scored instead of turning it over down 4 with 21 secs... sigh. oh well back to even lol.

    Uhh.. He shut down Parker AND Rose in the playoffs. He guards 5 positions. He rebounds. He's the best overall defender in the game.

    Not saying they did, the Heat deserved this win, not going to deny that. I just respect the Spur's play style so much more, hate how the Heat just alternate iso'ing with DWade, Bron. No plays, no posting up w/ Bosh.

    I think he is the greatest defender in the league, or at least one of them. But I don't get why Battier is constantly matching up on the other team's best offensive players.

    That's clearly exaggerated. He didn't shut him down for the entire series. The thing is, LeBron picks and chooses spots when to play defense which is why I don't see him as the best defender in the league.

    B/c Lebron is their catalyst offensively. He needs to conserve energy. That's why he usually is on them late in games.

    But tonight, he was on Parker for like 50% of the game and I don't think Parker scored once on him.

    Ik Manu choked at the end, but why is nobody talking about Danny Green's 1-12 performance, jeez. If he could have made at least a few threes, gone 4-12 whole different ball game.
