My guess is the usual hate spew like the rest of the haters:
When the Heat were 9-8, losing 3 times to the Celtics and losing 5 straight close games, he was getting a hard on because that apparently proved that the Heat big 3 getting together plan to win a championship failed.
Now that they actually beat the Celtics, he's back to the "Wade's Pippen/Robin" mode with the rest of the haters, the mode they were in before the season started.

You've had to the opportunity to watch the next GREAT evolve and grow with each magnificient performance, and you don't even realize it. I mean people criticize him for not getting past orlando but he averaged 40, 8, & 8 for the entire playoff series. Its sad that people don't even understand how crazy those stats are because he has the ability to do it regularly.
If we can't win it all I'd want them to win, even though I loathe The ({}), because I $@#! with and respect Bron's game that much. People are going to look around and his career will be finished and it will finally hit them how special his game was, and that's sad.
Spot on.

I mentioned it when I saw it last night.
Guess LeBron has come to terms with it.
This thread is a disaster right now.

Just like Kobe needed to most dominant big in his prime since Kareem and top 10 player ever for his first three rings. Then needed the best offensive big man in 2010 for his past 2.What a moron.
Gasol was the best offensive big man in 2010 and I'm the moron? Learn some basketball before you spew off garbage. WHERE DID I MENTION CHAMPIONSHIPS OTHER THAN 2010? CAN YOU READ?
Huh?
He addressed your 2010 finals argument and added other points and he's the one who can't read?

He said Gasol was the best offensive big man of 2010 which is not true. Gasol probably did not even crack the top 5. Even BOSH had a better offensive year. That is not addressing. That is making up facts.
He added irrelevant points. You mad too?

and then folks wanna ignore and act like the Cavs wasnt a top team year in and year out on top of that

"He said Gasol was the best offensive big man of 2010 which is not true."
Regular season AND playoffs (2010), Gasol added more wins to his team than any other low-post player in the league (and that includes Bosh). He also had one of the highest adjusted point differentials on the offensive end as well. Oh...whoops. I'm using evidence to support my argument again. Kobe fans don't like that. Lemme fall back.
Even if you don't give a damn about the evidence (ehich woukd make YOU the idiot), you think it was ANY coincidence that your Lakers got their %#%@% swept when Gasol played more like Shawn Bradley than Gasol. With Kobe still playing well in the series?

Coincidentally, Shaq won his first title in his 8th season.
And if the Heat win this year, idiots will be out in full-force talking that Batman/Robin BS.
LeBron is one of the GREATEST players to ever grace the NBA and dudes will go outta their way to discredit what he does on a nightly basis. Dude is in the prime of his career and has many more years to play (barring injury). Let's just sit back and enjoy it....you don't have to agree with how he carries himself off the court, but at least respect his game.
You brought up a good point about Shaq, and it also took Mike a while before he got his first ring. Same goes for Olajuwon, the Big 3, etc...
