Kobe ballhog his team out of a chip in 04?
Kobe is better than Bron. Lebron can't even guard 6'2 33 years old Jason Terry
If the Heat got Kobe they would have won the Finals

I can't say that I feel bad for the guy. It's really hard to because a lot of this stuff he brought upon himself with the whole Decision thing. I know its' been beat to death at this point, but he ripped the heart out of that entire organization and I expected Cleveland to hate him. Does it make it any less pathetic, especially in the case of the ownership? No, it doesn't but you're crazy if you didn't think he wasn't going to be the most hated athlete in the world after what happened.
The thing that bothers me about the whole thing, as a basketball fan, is that we'll never get to see the LeBron that we loved to watch in Cleveland. I feel like in Miami he is being confined to playing a role and playing within a certain system that he isn't a) used to playing in and b) his game is not suited for. LeBron is the kind of guy that you build a team around, and I think this Finals proved to a lot of people that building an all-star team in this day and age is just not going to work.
You could tell throughout the season (not just the Finals) that there were times when LeBron looked lost on the court and deferred to his teammates (especially Wade) when he shouldn't have. The guy went from having the ball in his hands and the entire offense run through him for his entire life to having to alter the way he plays to fit a role he's expected to play in Miami. I HATE comparisons to Jordan because I don't believe there will ever be another Jordan, but could you imagine Jordan, in his prime, having to share the ball and alter his style of play for another premier perimeter player, also in his prime? Not only can I not see it, but I guarantee the Bulls wouldn't be anywhere near as dominant as they were. LeBron is more Jordan than Pippen (again, sorry for the cliche comparison), he's shown he can win not only without another superstar but a group of wildly mediocre basketball players. He made Mo Williams a %!#$%$% All-Star. Mo %!#$%$% Williams.
I'm still a firm believer that LeBron should have stayed in Cleveland or went somewhere that allowed him to be THE man and build a team around him. I think saying the "decision" to move to Miami is going to tarnish LeBron's legacy is an understatement, both on and off the court.

Feel bad for him? Nikes cut him a deal for 90million BEFORE he played his 1st game as a pro. and theyve already cut him a 2nd check. Win or lose, 5rings or no rings, he'll retire as one if the wealthiest people in the world. So I don't feel bad for him at all.

But Dre, you can't make statements that allows the humanoids to draw their own conclusions as to what he really meant. Simple as that. He needs to limit his media frequency because right now he is in a situation where anything he says will be broken apart. He really can't win. So the best thing to do, is hide out in Australia and not talk to anyone. Work on your game, mind, and spirit and come back so strong.
But let me add one more thing. I hope this dude is OK. He really seems like a person that cares about what people think about him. Reading his face, I can tell that he is bothered by the negative press. I just hope he is ok, spiritually. I hope he isn't broken and I hope we haven't seen the best days from him. I don't know him personally but he has taken a lot. Some of it warranted, but a lot of it is just the media being the devil that it is. Kick the man while he is down after they put him on a God like level. We saw the same with Tiger.
LeBron get well soon man.

Also, I think EVERYONE needs to listen to the BS Report with Dan leBetard. They speak about LeBron in depth. Some good stuff here, even go as far as speaking on the respect he has for Wade as a man/person/teammate and how that relationship matters more than all of LeBron's enablers.

It is a podcast, there is nothing to read. But he wasn't slurping at all during the podcast. I think you should give it a listen. It is a good discussion
