The LeBron James Thread

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Also just saw the whole bumping coach thing. I don't know what to say about that. I mean you can even see LeBron's right elbow stickout a bit (in that get off of me kindd of motion). Doesn't look good at all. I have to read the rest of this thread to see what people said.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

The context of the bump was that Spo called three timeouts in a short amount of time. So, yeah it was a subtle or not so subtle message to the coach.

And he did the exact same thing to Mike Brown before

Re: The LeBron James Saga

It's funny how the headline reads "Heat Players"...

Define "Players"...or is it just "Player", as in singular, as in LeBaby?

Seriously...Wade never had a problem w/ Spols last year...at least not one that I remember, and that documented by the media.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

This is all going according to script.

Vince Mcmahon would be proud.

Riles will be on the sideline for ABC's Christmas Day extravaganza.


By February, we'll all be hearing how "intense" and "focused" Lebron is, all of a sudden.

It's a shame too...they all seem to be getting along so well in my 2K association, with the Heat the 2nd best team in the East.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

I was just saying this same thing to a guy at work who loves riding on Lebron. He doesn't seem to be expanding his game. I mean, he can't post up for real. I've never seen him be consistent in rebounding or boxing out at a respectable level. He seems more interested in getting those triple-doubles. Has he ever had a rebounding game when he could get a cool 15? Some of the things I've seen him do have really made me question his intelligence to the game. I've realized that he's not in love with improving his game like say Kobe was or Mike. He just hones what he has.

I really wonder how much better he would have been if Silas would have stayed his coach and taught him proper techniques in most of what he does. Definitely respect your post Prez. Holding it down for those Chicago stat men.

What I really want to know is how you guys grade him on an intellectual scale in regards to his understanding of the game? He seemed a whole lot more intelligent when he was in Cleveland as opposed to now. It made me realize that the age limit to college players does need to continue to stay where it's at so players could learn something in college. Amare` even stating that he wasn't taught defense was a damning thing in itself. Lot of things coming to light these past few weeks.......

He avg 27pts/7ast/7rebs for his career and he doesn't rebound or work on his game? You guys are silly...

Re: The LeBron James Saga

I believe he could easily be averaging 22pts/10as/10rebs if he really wanted to.

You sound like the people that said Miami would break the Bulls single season win record.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Championships should matter when discussing the very best of the best. Anybody that says otherwise is a damn liar and that's putting it nicely.

So Stockton, Malone, Barkely,Ewing, etc.. or not some of the best of the best ever?

If Nash doesn't when a ring he shouldn't be considered a best of the best?

There is only one champion per season. Teams when championships, not players. Its fair to use the championship barometer when talking about teams but not individual player placement in history. Just to further back up my point, if Dan Marino played for the 49ers, Steelers, or Cowboys and their QB's played for the Dolphins, he automatically becomes a better QB?

You must not have read any of my posts then.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

That post certainly suggests otherwise, regardless of what you've said previously.

As if averaging a triple dub is just that easy.

Re: The LeBron James Saga

Man oh man how things change. Spo suddenly is a terrible coach eh? He was D-Wade's boy and now suddenly he's the problem that has to go cause he's too hard on them? Never would have imagined this thing going this badly to start. This is how it starts though. Wade wants his boy Spo to keep his job and Bron wants godfather Riles to take over. Sooner or later dudes start bumping heads with this tension. Riles don't want nothing to do with taking over this team yet, there's too much work to be done this year, the roster isn't perfect yet the Lakers and Celtics are still too good. Riles is about the same as his prized acquisitions in the fact that he wants the easiest route possible to a title. Obviously there is no easy road to a title as there is always going to be something come up to challenge you, but some challenges simply are easier than others.
