    I said 'more like McGrady than Jordan', but read it how you like.

    I like McGrady well enough... personally I don't think he's as much of a diva as LeBron is (that is saying something).

    Team accomplishments mean less to me in terms of a player's skill. I don't care if LeBron "took" a team anywhere... that's not how it works. Wade didn't win that championship in 2006, the Heat did. Kobe didn't win back-to-back, the Lakers did.

    I think lebron would have been better off going to a team like the magic or chicago than Miami. He would have fit much better in their system

    He's a freak athlete he should be able to keep his endurance up to the standards of a damn soccer player. Those dudes are sprinting running jumping and fighting for 90 minutes how do you think they feel.

    LeBron averaged 37.6 MPG this year, Kobe still averaged 38.8 MPG last year and 41.5 MPG when he was 25. I don't think the coach played LeBron too much. In important games, 44 min sounds right. Plus he doesn't have to work on every possession now.

    Nah, LeBron've got nothing on Riley. Riley is gonna milk the money out of this drama first. And let's say if they can't win a championship in 2 years. Trade LeBron for some post player and PG and they end up with a better team. It's not like LeBron has no-trade-clause.

    LOL, because Kobe's the one LeBron has to surpass in this league. Oh wait, now I remember Wade's the man.

    I never said he doesn't play at "elite level." All I'm saying is, a 25 year old "MVP" shouldn't be b****ing about 44 minutes. Kevin Durant is AVERAGING 42 MPG. Has he said anything? Nooo... LeBron's minutes are actually the least they've ever been in his career.

    Dude is always looking for excuses.

    if lebron does as little as durant does, he'll have plenty of energy.

    lebron was literally doing everything last night. sure, it's not a great thing to say publicly, but the guy still is doing too much. others have to step up and reduce his load. wade just had a bad night, he'll bounce back.

    if wade is the man, it's better that he plays like it. lebron is still playing like a 2-time MVP carrying all the load.

    Lebron haters out in full force

    Did y'all watch the game? He had to do everything out there. 35, 10, 9, 3 stls.

    Let's not forget that this already his eight season in the league. Comparing him to Mcgrady is beyond idiotic. He has missed 26 games in his career..that's about 3.7 games a season.

    He shouldn't be out there 44 mins in a regular season game. That's common sense.

    If things keep going they way they are in Miami, Pat Riley is going to take over the coaching duties.

    Where was LeBron in the game versus Jazz? Didn't he shoot like 6-19 and didn't show at all in 4th quarter and OT? I wonder who was carrying Heat when Wade got all 10 in OT.

    And how did the "best perimeter defender" in the league let Pierce got off for 10-16? BTW, I haven't been seeing your talking about how PER proved LeBron's undoublely the best player in the league for a while. And I remember how you predicted he's gonna be more efficient in Heat now he has help. 44% doesn't look very promising there.

    Ah good ole' Lebron, call out the coach in the media to deflect blame off him and his buds losing an important game and his fans get right in line to defend the spoiled billionaire.

    Important life lesson for kids: OF COURSE it's not your fault for your actions, it's always someone elses fault!

    Lets see if he can go even further and pull the race card against Pat Riley in the coming weeks. And then we will get to watch his loyal band of idiots try to defend him from that too.

    Little as Durant does? Okay, I'm done wasting my time talking to you.
