Re: The LeBron James Thread

In game 5 of that Bulls series shows you when they are both going off. No one can defend that team. I saw a gilmpse of this in their very first game of the season vs the Celtics.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Re-watch the game brother... LeBron gets double teamed severally times. I really just don't have time to make this video (sucks!!). Doubles teams I'm talking about are the ones Where as soon as he touches and holds the ball. They come asap to get the ball out of his hands. Happen severally times.

Dallas stopped doubling LeBron once they realized he wasn't going to score, attack, or even threaten the interior defense while his back was to the basket. They were leaving Kidd, Marion, Terry, and even Barea on him on an island.

This.

There were times in the game where Kidd was guarding him and he passed as soon as the ball passed half-court.

Definitely. It was a pretty noticeable occurrence through the series, ball touches Bron, Bron passes to the nearest veteran signed at the minimimum. My head hurts trying to figure it why or how l so I'm running from this thread faster than you can say Le-anything

Guys... Please watch the whole series again... I have severally times now. In game 5 on the very first Heat possession. LeBron gets the ball stand on the 3 point line. And they come with a double team to get the ball out of his hands. They did this through out the series.

edit: Game 6 was probably one of the game they didn't double as much they did in the whole series.

I take your word but he didn't only hot potato out of doubles. I believe in your assessment of the double dictating Lebrons offensive decisions, but Im almost positive he passed out of nonexistent double teams that he may have been expecting as well.

I am talking specifically game 4. The one I feel he quit in.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

LBJ is dealing with an entire different beast. Social networking and the media today is a lot tougher to deal with compared to 15 years ago. You just can't escape

Honestly - whose fault is that?

In this day and age you can't use social media as an excuse for stupidity. No one is forcing Lebron to make the comments he does on Twitter.

And if he were that concerned about it, he would put his account on private.

Hell, there is no rule saying you need to have these things as an athlete today.

Exactly... This is my only problem during the series and still is now after watching the games so many times. He just didn't attack the double teams. I know he was trying to make the plays. But he just didn't attack the doubles as well as he had all season long.

I am talking specifically game 4. The one I feel he quit in.

If you thought he "quit" in that game. You could say he quit this whole series (expect for game 1)

Do you think Jordan, Biggie or Pac would have a Tweeter account back in the day?

Ha, just because I think its a funny thought. I think only Biggie out of those 3 would have a Twitter account. And he and Shaq would have a great time together.

To take it a step farther, if someone really plans on being a billionaire world icon, then he (and/or his people) should be using social media to his benefit. If the talk of that was as realistic as LBJ wants us to believe, everything that could possibly be leaked to the public should be catered to pushing closer to that goal. The existence of social media is the only reason why that "dream" is even remotely possible.

Biggie would for the same reason James should be using his better... Sean "business man" Combs would make sure to milk it for every cent he could get Biggie by keeping his name out there and his fans interested. Tupac would probably have one too, more to push his agenda against the world. Jordan didn't care about anything but bball so I doubt he would.

LoL.. sorta off-topic but its nice.

Biggie would definitely get alot out of his twitter. Everyone loved BIG, he'd have probably a top 20 following at least. And with Diddy having his golden investment to stand behind, he'd definitely be all OVER getting BIG. For some reason I don't see Pac getting on board with social media. Though if he did, it'd definitely be to push his world agenda and would have very little to do with his music and/or persona. And yes, Jordan wouldn't have a twitter he'd be too busy balling.

He'd have one, it'd just be Nike owned, endorsed and operatated however. Even Tiger Woods 'has a' Twitter or Facebook account I believe and his personality really is boring as **** and nearer to Jordan's public face.

Tiger created his when he began trying to rebuild his image though. Jordan would never care about his image, even with how tied he was to Nike.
