and will to win. and 2 superstars to do that? come on son?! whats not to love?

I know you are being sarcastic, but why is LeBron getting hate for realizing he needs more help, than just himself, to win a championship? Nobody did it alone man. If anything, it takes a lot for a man to look at a situation and say, "I can't do this alone. I need help." I respect that decision. I really do.

Hell, KG even said, he should have done it sooner instead of wasting those years in Minnesota losing while being the man.

It takes a lot for a man to admit he can't do it alone. Again, I don't see why he is getting so much ridicule for it.

...
Dang! Lots of LAKER fans trolling here.. YOU MAD FELLAS?!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! 

HATER DON'T HATE!!!!!!

LeBron says he wants to win a ring. He went to a location that he felt put him in a better position to win a ring. Him not getting it done in Cleveland is not his fault. I don't think he should be blamed there. I don't think a team was put around him that was built to win a ring. Yes they were nice in the regular season, but they couldn't get it done in the playoffs.

He knew that, so we went to Miami.

Jordan and Magic never faced that type of struggle. LeBron probably wouldn't have beaten Boston while still in Cleveland. Not with those teams. If Jordan wouldn't have gotten past DET, who is to say what he would have done.

So I don't think the situations/players mentioned are even comparable.

The Heat DO NOT deserve any credit. They have multiple star players. Remember, Boston has NO star players.

You also have to remember. Miami has a big 3, but the rest of the team is STACKED as well. STIZZACKED.

[ThaxbyChamblis]

And which one of those fouls they called on Juwan wasn't a foul?

How is it a phantom travel when Pierce dragged his back foot? I guess that doesn't count, eh?

What fouls did they miss on Ray? Rondo? Green? O'Neal? Big Baby? West? Nenad? Which ones? Ray Allen was consitently going to the cup and getting contact? Jeff Green?

Oh.

Come on now. Dude had ZERO pressure. Everyone knew the celtics were gonna brick shots or turn it over. Almost all 4 wins followed the same script down the stretch.
Dude is so comfortable that he took those ill advised 3s and made them.

He has done this before with the Pistons.

Looking real salty right there. They needed buckets to go along with Boston's woes on offense. I mean, if Boston keeps bricking shots and the Heat stop scoring, we're looking at 87-87 still, overtime.

And if I saw it correctly, he actually got a steal and a flush with like 40 seconds left or something.

LeBron's final 90 seconds was clutch.

Boston was giving away the ball. You can risk taking any type of shot cause Boston was turning it over every time. If it was tied you know dudes can just drive to the basket and get phantom calls.
Lebron has done this before when the other team has basically given up.

People criticize him cause he has trouble when the other team is actually putting up a fight...word to Orlando in 2009


you'd be a bad lawyer...aka worst reasoning lol

[airmaxpenny1]

Magic Johnson played with %%*++*# KAREEM ABDUL-JABAAR, the second best player ever! Do people hold that against him and say why didn't he leave the Lakers and go and get his own team? No...So $+%@ outta here with that %%%%#$ rhetoric.

Naw having 2 of the 50 greatest was not good enough, either was having one of the greatest rebounders of all time.

Ummm....not really. When the playoffs started some people thought they'd have a chance but they were hardly favorites, and during the season with so much stuff going on (from the crying, not being able to win close games), people thought they made a big mistake at first. If anything, they're proving people wrong at this point, and as a neutral observer I just have to respect what he's doing and give him tons of credit.

However, if they can't win one in the next five years, I would agree.

[sthebest]

Congrats to the Heat. you guys played hard and it paid off.

But lets not forget that the Bulls defense beat the Heat offense enough times to make for a season sweep. Not to mention that Lebron is hungry, but the Bulls are STARVED for a championship and will play with all of their might to finally escape from the MJ/Pippen era shadow. Also, a rookie Derrick Rose took his team to 7 games against the Celtics so they won't go down without a fight.

With that said, it should be one of the best ECF in recent history

Got no response, because there isn't one.

No response needed. Your team is sitting at home, where they belong. That should suffice.

The Lakers are a great franchise and team. But stop the hate.
