The LeBron James Thread

Re: The Rise and Fall of LeBron James

I thought those Cleveland team were running at max harmony lol. They just didn't have enough talent compared to the teams they lost to. Or they just didn't have enough balance between Superstar and role players possession wise.

they were running at max harmony until lebron quit lol

Couldn't disagree with this more... especially considering the performance of the better players before their role became spot up and wait for James to go Iso and maybe pass it to them.

Aren't we agreeing on the samething? When I said

Well to be fair you didn't say that definitely. You said they didn't have enough talent compared to other teams OR they didn't have the balance. So technically you aren't agreeing on the same thing since the definitive statement you gave was that they didn't have enough talent not that they didn't have enough balance.

No because I don't think they were running at max harmony, as you put it. I think if they ran a real offense with James being the focus rather than an offense of James takes the ball and decides what to do with it and pretty much using his teammates to bail him out when the D is good or rotates then the other players would've been able to play their game more. Who knows if that would've resulted in more W's... they won plenty as it was bc LBJ is pretty damn good. But max harmony would be all (or at least all key) players put in position to perform to their max ability.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

No doubt I didn't think Dallas had a chance, but like you said that was before LeBron check out of the series. Hate to bring it up again. I don't understand how you could have watched LeBron all post season then watched him in the 4th quarter of game 3 and all of game 4 and not come away feeling like he just had a bitch-fit and took the attitude of "do it without me then".

A friend of mine had a conversation with John Salley and he told her that Lebron just stopped caring because his baby moms was smashing Rashard Lewis. Sounds crazy to me too i know.

Also my brother went to every Miami Heat home Finals game and he said that Lebron and Wade did not do any of their usual pre-game rituals. That sounded bizarre to me as well.

Yeah I forgot about those rumors. That may have been it, we saw Pau Gasol check out against the Mavs as well. All I know was that wasn't LeBron's best. The interviews really give it away. He didn't look or sound like a guy who just gotten beat giving his all. Very nonchalant like he expected it.

Re: The Rise and Fall of LeBron James

While Dirk was the only superstar on that team saying he "did it alone" just isn't accurate. Cuban still spent a ton of money on that team and it was better than any team Lebron had in Cleveland.

Sorry, I think it's safe to say that Dirk was 99% responsible for his teams title. And no, it wasn't better than anything LeBron had in Cleveland. Dirk's second option was/is Jason Terry for Christ sakes. His third option was either a 38 year old Jason Kidd, or a 5'9 PG from Puerto Rico.

And a lot of that money Cuban spent was sitting on the bench, injured.
