LeBron Searches Scoreboard for Points

I find it very funny how ESPN and their broadcasters are already claiming LeBron James as the best basketball player ever. I mean seriously, they think this guy is actually the best player in the NBA now and asks their self nightly if he’s the best ever. Excuse me, but have you ever actually watched LeBron James play basketball? I mean before you go and say he’s the best, wouldn’t a consistent jumper from the outside be nice? What about the best basketball player making free throws? James has a difficult time at the stripe, when he’s just 15 foot from the rim and no defenders trying to block his shot. He seems to have trouble stringing together 5 to 8 free throw shots in a row. You know, like a player that could be in the discussion for best basketball player now or all time. Dow the stretch, his game gets weak in tight situations. He’s unreliable at the free throw line late in close ball games. He’s made a few highlight films where he’s scoring the last couple of hoops for the Cavs, but look at all the times he fails to deliver at the end.

LeBron drives his big linebacker body into the lane and  throws up shots that go in a lot. This is because guys try to prevent from fouling him, but the referees still bail him out. So when his shots around the rim don’t go in, we make excuses for him, because the ref blew the whistle and said he was foul. When the actual replays show that LeBron doesn’t perform as well around the rim as the guys from ESPN would have us to believe.

I couldn’t believe the ESPN crew of fans that were given the Cleveland Cavaliers the NBA championship this year, after their Game 1 win over the Chicago Bulls. Every team, with the exception of the Phoenix Suns, looked good against their Game 1 opponents, that had home court advantage. The Cavs are a number 1 seed, who was playing at home against an 8th seed, and the folks from ESPN took from that victory; that they couldn’t see how any NBA team could beat them. Now to steal a line from the guys at TBS, that’s funny “VERY FUNNY”.

I guess ESPN had to eat their words tonight and now whose the fool on the TV tube? The Chicago Bulls ran all over the Cavaliers tonight. Had the best player of all time in the NBA and his team down 21 points! Are you kidding me? The Cavs did make a nice comeback and gave their self a shot to win late, but surely that 3 pointer at the eleven second mark by King James, was not your evidence for this punk that has no respect for the game or his fellow NBA players that have the same job as him. LeBron James played like he had two, no wait, three left thumbs with his careless turnovers. I believe you can look at this game and make a case that LeBron was the reason why his team lost. He’s a ball hog and anytime he does something good, he runs around and celebrates. You can always tell the good athletes from the great ones. The really good ones know how to do the most spectacular plays and then act like they’ve did it before. The reason why; is because in most cases they really have.

This street punk, ball hogging crybaby from a local Ohio High School is not the game’s best player! If you want to ride the coat-tails on a player that tries to show off and has to back the ball back; while bent over (like he’s going to do something) 10 times a game; as your top player in the League. That’s fine with me! I just don’t see the best ever having a poor attitude and everyone can stop given King James credit for being a team player. I have heard about this special team player trait of his for a long time now. I hate to break it to you LBJ fans, but LeBron is NO TEAM PLAYER! A few NBA players, fans, and those bias ESPN broadcasters see LeBron pass the ball to a teammate and they call this being a team player. No, this is called playing basketball and the man gets no credit for passing the ball. Some believe LeBron could go down the floor and score almost every time, so if he is so kind to let one of his teammates score instead of him, he’s being a team player. Insert that TBS line here again. VERY FUNNY!

Don’t you guys see when LBJ has a bad game? The games where he struggles with his shot and the ball just isn’t going down for him? I have seen this and the Cavs be in complete control of the game. A good team player would be high fiving his teammates and happy they are winning a game that he’s struggling in. LeBron doesn’t do this and he just complains, keeps that mad look on his face, and after the game, it’s a me, me, me, type of interview. He’s not happy when his team wins and he plays poorly. He must do well first (win, lose, or draw) for him to get that swagger. As long as his shot is going in and he’s the star, then a game his team loses doesn’t matter. Passing a basketball to a few of your teammates that are wide open, is something that professional basketball players should always do. Instead, the guys from ESPN try to spin this into LBJ being a great team player. This has corrupted the minds of other NBA players and fans across the country.

If you want to see who the best player or players are in the NBA. You can’t go out and root for it to happen. You have to sit back and let it develop in front of you. Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics has performed about 3 speeds higher than LeBron James over the past couple of years in the playoffs and this year included. Josh Smith from the Atlanta Hawks has more high voltage plays in the air with his dunks and block shots; than the 9 volt battery of electrical current James gives with his dunks and block shots. If NBA fans, players, coaches, and broadcasters would sit back and ignore the hype. They could see how two guys like Josh Smith and Ray Allen are better than the punk up in Cleveland. And keep in mind, I’m given examples of lower tier players that perform better than LeBron. If we go to scoring champ Kevin Durant or the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, we would just be naming more NBA players that are better than LeBron James currently is. He’s no MVP and it’s pitiful how this circus gets created around him; only to see an 8th seeded playoff team like the Chicago Bulls that has a 2nd year player (who left college early) to beat the over rated King James of the National Basketball Association.
