    Did I ever see him do what LeBron just did? No. Could he have done what LeBron just did if he were in his shoes at that very moment? Hell no! You have to understand that what you just witnessed was an individual player dominating a team of 5 all stars, WITH NO HELP from 8 minutes in the 4th quarter to the end of the double OT, and a coach that is dumber than a box of rocks. He did it all by himself from that point on. Compleley just shitting on the sport. I have never seen an individual single handedly dominate his sport in a single game. I can understand why he holds back. It pisses everyone off, because it's that damn hard being that damn good. I don't understand why your trying to write this off......

    The best player in the planent if he were to quit was an exaggeration, yes,
    but don't try and deny that what you just witnessed was the greatest performance by any player in any sport ever. And the best part? It's just one of many games to come!</div>

    I actually have to agree with this. I mean Jordan had the flu game, the final shot game, etc. but I will have to admit that the performance Bron put on the other night was probably more impressive then any of Jordan's "big" games in the post season and realistically speaking it might be the best individual performance in a playoff game. In no way am I saying he's better than MJ, but Bron literally took on the Pistons on 1 on 5 on the offensive end for a good stretch of over 15 minutes. 29 of his teams last 30 is just something that we have never seen and that we might never see again in our lifetimes......

    I must admit Lebron impressed me. His playoff performance was the best I've witnessed in recent history. Give the guy credit when do, especially considering his age, he can really go down as one of the best players to ever play the game.

    Amazing performance by James, absolutely amazing. It's gotta be one of the best playoff performances of all time if not the best.

    And I thought my thread was the most pointless one[​IMG]


    Anywayz, continuing from my thread that got closed my Moo. Lebron is no Kobe, period. Cleveland is better than the Lakers. No leadership skills can't get the Kwame to catch a pass[​IMG]

    Great one [​IMG]
    If some of the trades go through you'll see how the Lakers are going to be a better team than Cavaliers, it was a great performance by LeBron but now you'll see how one game makes him a hero, Kobe has dozen's of GREAT games but still much people talk about him as a better player than Kobe.

    Lebron had an awesome game.

    But this title: Who cares about what Kobe is doing...it's all Lebron

    It is over exaggerated, it was only one game. I need to see more games like that from Lebron.

    the title "who cares about what kobe is doing" was referring to Kobe stealing the headlines last week with "I want to be traded..........wait no I don't..............no I do".............

    Only 14pts in his first finals game?? Wheres the outrage? I think Lebron is so selfish for just quiting on his teammates[​IMG]. I can't recall Jordan going 1-9 in his 1st finals appearance[​IMG]

    Great defense by the Spurs, I think if they pay that much attention to Lebron again, he has to dish 80% of the time.

    Ok....since Lebron's only 22 we should expect him to struggle? I thought he was the best player in the league[​IMG]

    Who said LeBron was the best in the league? No one ever said that. There have been comparisons, but they just arn't true.

    22, first time in the finals, anyone would struggle. If you where to put Jordan, at 22, on the same team that LeBron has right now, against the current Spurs, Jordan would struggle too.

    I knew he wouldn't be lighting it up for 48 everynight. He is young, inexperienced, and a lack-luster team around him dosn't help. He has to go at Duncan, Manu, Parker everynight now, almsot alone because he is expected to run the team. Which he should, but it's ok for him to struggle.

    To call the Cavs a Dynasty, and LeBron Vs. Kobe and who cares about Kobe, it's all LeBron, is BS. LeBron is a great young player, who has done something good for his team, and him. It's the begining now for him. Like it is for D-Wade
    who already won a title, Bosh, the Bulls and Dwight.

    Last night was a strong indication of how valuable Big Z is to the Cavs. He always seems to be the barometer determining if their offense is going to work or not. Last night Big Z struggled going 1-8 from the field.

    When Big Z isn't hitting those 17 and 18 footers, the Cavs spacing is out of whack, and the Spurs can use one defender to guard to Cavs. LeBron was getting smothered in the pick and roll, and either forced a tough pass or threw up a bad shot.

    Giving up 13 offensive rebounds to the Spurs isn't going to help your cause either. Coming into this series, the Cavs were one of the best rebounding teams in the league, and they finished with a -11 rebounding differential.

    Well if we go by lostmyluggage's theory of one game deciding the greatness of a player, then Lebron sucks.
