back when bron was in cleveland he pounded okc several times during the reg season when the thunder were one of the worst teams in the league. as time went on this team grew with more additions and building around durant. right now they are just seemingly unstoppable and doubt even lebron playing great would stop them

I respect LeBrons game when he is playing aggressive and taking over games like he should, but he plays passive and whines at refs to often for me to like him 99% of the time he plays. LeBron in game 6 and 4th quarter game 7 of the Boston series is the aggression I want to see from him every minute.

Lebrick! He's a fag for exactly those reasons

He really does suck at the end of close games. IDK if it's because of the shitty calls by Spoelstra or him actually just choking, but I would much rather just have D Wayne Wade shoot the last shot every time.

LeBron is a lot like Shaq. They don't have great basketball skill but are big, strong, and athletic, and are experts at using their physical tools to exploit the rules. He's just a huge freak athlete who bulldozes his way to the rim.

??? LeBron has better ballhandling / passing ability then most pointguards. This statement would be true if you were talking about Howard, Bynum, , Blake Griffin, John wall etc...


On a serious note, LeBron is one of the few players who can legitimately guard Kevin Durant. I think wade can potentially have a huge series, OKC is not gonna play him as hard as Boston did. Ibaka is a great help defender, constantly bails out his teamates who get beat off the dribble, not sure how well he will do 1v1 vs bosh who takes a lot of jump shots / pump fakes a bunch.

No you don't respect his game. Stop lying. "LeBrick".

You don't even watch him play unless he's laying the beat down on your favorite team.

Your basketball analysis intelligent quotient is best used for WWE matches, not in NBA.

That's because you don't know anything about basketball and watch too much skip bayless. You are a pseudo NBA fan that is a product and mold of whatever garbage / storyline the media decides to puke out.

For a Canadian, you sure are a cunt.

oh shiiit it's gettin serious in here

A Canadian criticizing an American's basketball knowledge is as stupid as an American criticizing a Canadian's hockey knowledge.

arguing over who should take the last shot is like arguing whos better at poker, ivey or dwan...both players r top 6 in the league

Not really. Just because they are both insanely good doesn't mean you'd not rather have one take the shot over the other.

Both sports created by Canadians

I mean give a situation of down 2 with 10 seconds to go my top 5 in no order are Durant, Bryant, Nowitzski, James, Wade

Except that Canadian lived in Massachusetts and invented basketball as a request by American's.
And modern hockey was invented by British soldiers living in Canada.

by the numbers james is better than wade

shots attempted with under 24 seconds left in 4th quarter or ot trailing by two or less in regular season and playoffs (from 00-01 season until now) Carmelo Anthony - 51% (25 for 49) Chris Paul - 41% (13 for 32) Dirk Nowitzki - 36% (21 for 59) Ray Allen - 35% (21 for 60) LeBron James - 31% (21 for 68) Vince carter - 30% (22 for 73) Kobe Bryant - 30% (31 for 103) Dwayne wade - 27% (15 for 56) Joe Johnson - 26% (17 for 65) Derrick Rose - 25% (8 for 32) Kevin Durant - 24% (11 for 45)

should note my top 5 were based on the premise the player must create his own shot hence y I ruled out Allen
