Is this a joke???? ok well let me start by saying he had no idea he would be facing the pacers this year when he made a decision 2 years ago. him, bosh and wade plotted this shit out for it to be an easy route. it has been far from easy but he tried to make it as easy as he could and thats not a true competitor if you ask me. also how he left his team hanging with no answer until we all knew is beeyond wrong and the complete stupid way to handle things. sure he made a decision he felt was best, but what he saw it as was a fastlane to a title which is why he took it.
Sure his stats were good but people looking at that is like looking at a blueprint right? i mean it's like a house, sure on paper it can look amazing but it takes good people to truly make it a house. well this kid has all the talent in the world and proved what he was capable of as a competitor when he won his 1st 2 MVPS. he led his team to being a great team and it showed. now that he took this easy route he has fallen off as a competitor when it really counts. he shys away from tough shots and when he takes them he usually misses them. a true MVP wants the ball at the end and thrives on having it. that has nothing to do with bluprinting because it can only be felt and is rarely shown in it's true form on paper. watching him play he doesnt play like a True competitor anymore.
Also to compare a game to everyday life is sort of dumb if you ask me. he has to compete at his job to gain accolades and we dont when we drive to work. i guess a way to compare is if you got yourself a management job at you're job and you worked your ass off to get to the top then you just shut down and stop caring because you're where you want to be. if that happens then you should be demoted or even fired since you aint worthy of being management and thats how i feel with Lebron as MVP.
Bottom line is I was a HUGE fan of LeBron and enjoyed watching him play the game, when he won his 1st 2 MVPS i was happy for him because they were both well deserved. the way he carried a team at such a young age was always impressive to me and i gave him alot of respect for that. But now he doesnt play with the same heart he used to have. it shows when you watch him play, sure he'll get his stats but whenever the game is close his heart disappears and it's like he doesnt care or too afraid to fail. On paper (blueprint) he deserved the MVP award but knowing what Value truley is in the NBA i dont see how he had the most over anybody but that's just me.
Sidenote he played like the cavs Bron in game 4. hopefully he found his passion to be great again because thats the Bron i like to watch play the game.[/QUOTE
^^^^^^ u just nullified your entire argument with that last sentence u wrote. In one paragraph u said that he plays like he doesn't care and that he lost his passion for the game. Well please explain how a player averages almost 28 pts agame and has the best nba playoff performace in 51 years since elgin baylor. And has 40pts, 18 rebounds and 9 assists and is avg ovr 30pts. You +e not making sense. I can respectfully say that your emotions re clouding your judment and is blocking your ability to see Lebrons game objectively. Just because a player passes the ball at the end of games does not take away his greatness. Are u forgetting when Jordan passed the ball to John paxon and steve kerr and they hit game wining shots? Or when kobe passed it to robbert horry to hit late game wining or tying shots? Are kobe and Jordan looked at as less bcuz they passed the ball to an open man and didn't force a bd shot? Its about making the right play/pass within the confines of a game. In game 6 or 7 of the lakers vd nuggets series kobe was doubld at the end of the game and passed it to steve blake who hit that big 3pointer. Was kobe less of a competiotor or weak for passing to an open man? No. It would have been more unnaceptable for kobe to force up a 3 with 2 defenders on him. People get 2 caught up on this last secorn superstar taking the last shot b.s. this is not Hossiers the movie where every scenario has 2 be the superstar has 2 hit the game winner and walk off into the sunset. Kobe has one of the worst stats in making game tying or wining shots in the past 7 yrs. He's at 24% he misses waaaay more than he makes. Does that maike Kobe less of a player? No. Bcuz Kobe bals the fuk out no matter what. Sometimes he hs off nights, sometimes he doesn't.
People want players to do what they want them to do. Some fans are extremely selfish and demand that they players that they worship do as they want them to do. I can't stress enuf how much of a double standard people live by. When a team cuts a player, there is no loyaly. Your locker is packed up and u turn in your playbook. Its all business. Hell, the colts cut payton manning. The 9ers cut joe montana. And there was no public outcry. People were not boycottin outside of rca stadium or candlestick. Those organization don't owe them shit after contracts re finished. So what did Lebron "owe" cleveland. Sympathy was he supposed to stay there just so people would like him? Or not hurt their feelings? The problem was that Lebron was all they had in cleveland. U can't win with 1 superstar? Haven't u noticed that. Who did lebron have in cleveland? Mo williams, antawn jamison, big z? Shaq at 37 yrs old? Jemario moon? Larry hughes? Lol. Cmon man . Don't be so sensitive. Let players go where they want to go. Lebron did everything under the rules,confines and regulations of the nba's collective barganing agreement and rode out to MIA. He put in his work and honored all 7yrs of his contract and made the cavs millions of dolars in revenue and milions to the city of cleveland. Did u want him to pay the fans bills too? U need talent around u to win a championship. And clearly the cavs didn't have enuf to win big with Lebron. That's why after he left they won 12 games.lol. cmon bruh.
