The LeBron James Thread

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Not when it's inherently fallacious, no. I'm no good with straw man arguments.



And I'll close with...

"So (I was) just trying to lead. My guys did a great job of following that"

Wade

what it comes down to is no Lebron no finals for wade, no stats or arguements can prove it otherwise. If that were the case wade would of made the finals last year

In fairness, first of all Wade has a ring and LeBron was nowhere in sight. So Wade getting a Finals trip isn't predicated on Bron being there. Finally it's misleading to bring up last year as part of your arguement since the Heat have spent the last two or three years intentionally tanking and running out trash rosters in order to make this year's team possible. Hell I'd say the Heat have had teams worse than what LeBron had in Cleveland the last two years and still made the playoffs with it which is a pretty good testament to DWade.

On another note, I can't believe we're right back to the same arguments from earlier in the year. Nobody has a problem once again arguing the same stuff? Clearly nobody is going to change anybody's mind on this topic so why even keep trying?

the heat making the playoffs in recent years is a testament of being in a weak eastern conference, after shaq left the heat that team had no aspirations of winning a championship not even close......

Re: The LeBron James Thread

That is what I was saying before. Choose your side... You either really hate him or you hate him as a person but respect him as basketball player on the court or you love him blindly.

So I guess this weak Eastern Conference doesn't apply to LeBron's Finals trip with the Cavs? Or the Cavs being the number one seed two years in row? Of course it's different cause it's LeBron. I don't even know what your point is, I just said the Heat were running out trash rosters for the last three years or so because they were tanking to make this year happen.

It's amazing how some people can't seem to enjoy greatness. You don't have to be a Lebron fan to appreciate greatness. The decision was not his design he just went along with it it raised money for a great cause, something that I deal with on a daily basis. And for the record, even if he gave the money to clubs in well to do neighborhoods, there is need everywhere. But this decision is a lot like cliff lee signing with the phillies. As a ranger fan I'm not pissed at him for being part of a historic pitching staff. He didn't owe me anything. He played out his contract, and made a decision.

So LeBron closes out the Boston and Chicago series, but he let's Wade (who is being guarded by Jason Kidd, that's right 38 yr old Jason Kidd) close out the last two games in the finals, it makes him a role player, not clutch at all?

Man, people just love to hate this guy, let alone the assist he had to lead to Bosh's GW shot, or the amazing defense he is playing in the 4th.

But haters will continue to hate on him no matter what he is does, he could rescue kids in a burning building and people will find ways to complain about him.

I argued in here LBJ wasn't clutch earlier. After watching this years playoffs, he's definitely clutch. I still hate him.

You see I can respect that too.

LMFAO

But like said before... Even though the Heat are up 2-1 right now. I didn't expect them to make it this far. I thought Conference Finals at most. But if they win. All the talk, All the hate, All the this won't work. All of it will be shut down. And you might see them pull out that "shut up" sign they were doing vs Orlando earlier in the year.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Side note: I'm really tired of hearing the "he gave to charity for The Decision" reasoning for that being ok.

Also, I love how everyone forgets how he has came up clutch in the first 3 rounds before. Game 5 against the Pistons, Game winner against Orlando. He has had some astronomical games in the past before but on the biggest stage he disappears. Finals versus Spurs anyone? Sure his role is a little different now, has a different team around him and Wade has had the better matchup but how about Game 2 when he had numerous chances to put Dallas away and continued to shoot contested jumpers and let them back in the game?

Re: The LeBron James Thread

He played great in game 1 of the Finals. Wasn't that a big stage?

Common sense is if you have a great player like Wade with a huge mismatch you go there. Anything other than that is stupid. Until Dallas adjust their defense Miami would be idiots to do anything, but ride Dwayne.

no the difference lebron after making the playoffs the first time he never missed them, he had high seeds each time. Dwades team on the other side were always on the low side of the seeding or the year the got beasley weren't in the playoffs at all...
