    Re: The LeBron James Thread

    Whatever. I'm not even going to bother.

    The fact that it's even in question whether or not LeBron quit, when the previous 7 years it never was, should be telling enough.

    Not to mention that LeBron is my favorite player in the league (yes, even still despite all the BS), and of all people I should be in the group saying he didn't quit, but even I know what I saw and I'm not going to deny it.

        Sir Charles is funny. I he quit during his last bit with the 76ers. He had a bad game against on of the better defensive teams in the league.

          The quit thing has been argued to death, believe what you need to...

            Personally I dont want to see Blake or Bron on the dunk contest because both of them are power game dunkers they dont have any dunk contest dunks and people will be highly disappointed if they dont do something they have never seen before.

He had a bad game and his teammates didnt step up when he needed them to, you cant expect godly numbers from him every game especially in the playoffs his teammates have to help him when he has a bad night.
              I laughed out loud. Funny how that phony elbow injury went away as soon as Cleveland was eliminated and Bron couldn't wait to talk about free agency and no such injury.

              Even guys like Barkley and The Jet who've been around the game for so long called him out and said he quit, and I watched the game, he didn't even try to attack for the 1st 3 quarters. Even the commentators were saying he wasn't being himself. No need to rehash this for the 36th time in this thread, but Bron quit, plain and simple, and that became even more obvious when he took his ball and went to Miami.

                Nevermind the "Why LeBron can't be the greatest blah blah" and the interview with KG. Refusing to foul at the end of the game even when the coach is calling for it (top left hand corner of the video, 1:30 in) is quitting. Yeah, the whole team quit as far as that goes. But for 7 years, the team looked at LeBron to see what they should do, and what they saw was LeBron do is absolutely nothing in this situation (1:17, LeBron just looks around, without any sense of urgency at all) and then backs off of Pierce to give him an open 3, and even then, after he misses it, just lets KG grab the board without any resistance even though he was in prime position to grab it. (1:22).

                So yeah, the whole team quit. But at a time where LeBron needed to lead by example (like he had for the previous 7 years, especially in '07 when the Cavs made the Finals) he gave up. And while he may not have told his guys to give up, he didn't need to because they could tell by his play/how he ended that game that he had already given up (again, look at 1:17. The whole Cavs team is watching him, waiting for him to foul, and he doesn't. He just stands there.)

                  Solid post, JB. The video you found was a lot better than the one I posted and just further proof he did quit.

                  Why people don't want to believe this, I don't know, but whatever. It's basically irrelevant now.

                    Everybody still harping on game 5, I guess the other 5 games dont mean anything. He played at a MVP level for 5 of the 6 games and the one game that he shoots bad(3-14) he quit even though he still rebounded and made plays for his teammates with 6 boards and 7 assists. His teammates cant have his back for one game?

                      Keep putting those blinders on.....

                      Just so you know, those numbers don't mean anything. Vince Carter has been a career 20+ PPG scorer but I guess there's never been a question of him not giving full effort before.

                        I guess I dont understand some you guys definition of quitting. My definition is when a player puts NO effort into winning the game none at all. I hate to bring this up but what Kobe did a few years back against the Suns when he refused to shoot at all in the 2nd half thats quitting on your team. Lebron on the other hand was trying but was failing horribly with turnovers, missed shots, and defensive lapses which equal having a bad night. Also Kobe is my favorite player ever so its no bias here.

                            Then Bron used his telekinesis to make Mo Williams jog the ball up the floor....

                            The team quit on their coach if anything...

                            Just wondering, is the concensus Kobe quit in game 6 of the finals too?

                              So you're throwing that game out there because both guys had bad shooting nights, yet that isn't even the point.

                              It has NOTHING to do with FG%'s, points, rebounds, assists, whatever. It has everything to do with effort.

                              No, Kobe did not quit in game 6 of the Finals last year because he actually gave full effort. LeBron didn't at the end of that series vs the Celtics. Kobe did quit in '06 against the Suns in the playoffs though (can't remember which game exactly).

                                Then whats the point?

                                Your saying the actual statistics dont matter, only what you percieved.....hey, cool....thats fine. I also cant argue against some theory that James sabatoged the series like that video implys..I just disagree with it.

                                Like someone else posted, we could have two different meanings of the word quit....

                                Quitting on your team to me is not subbing in at the end b\c a play was called for another player like Scottie Pippen. Quitting on your team to me is not taking shots or providing offense to prove a point.

                                IMO James didnt quit.....did he have the same **** it attitude Kobe had in the elimination game against Boston once it was out of hand? (which was the game I was referencing)....yep, cant argue that...

                                I honestly dont think this is even mentioned again if he stays in Cleveland, but I realize the villian needs his deeds....

                                hey, but like I said....this has been discussed to exhaustion..I wont drag it.
