^why wouldn't they threepeat?how could you tell that? if teams couldn't stop it the first two years, they wouldn't stop it for the 3rd year (esspecially if LeBron was only getting better).think what you'd like though.

^but the one after that will be LeBron vs. somebody & then LeBron vs. somebody else for the next ten of those.

Answer: Never.that only shows what a bad team player he is. LOL. the offense revolves around him and when it's clutch time (lebron suck time), the team finds itself in major trouble. when youre scorin that much and your team is still losing, you KNOW you're doin something wrong. hes been forcing the issue, and a true baskeball head would see this right off the bat.so when Kobe was getting 35 a game in the regular season but his team didn't win shit, what was the deal? It was all his teammates fault, right?but with Lebron, name one player who has played at all-star level in the playoffs on the Cavs. You say Ilgauskas is an all-star, but duide can't defend and can't even hit a jumper right now. West and Williams are shooting at about 30 percent in the series, so would you pass to themFact is, Cleveland is the worst TEAM (as in collection of players) left in the playoffs. They are too small (which I have said all along), don't have a skilled/athletic post player. They've had a good run, a great run this year, and could still win the series. But you better believe this team will add a bigger guard and a better post player. Cleveland has a great defensive squad and they were winning games all season long...they have an all-star point guard, premier defenders, and serviceable post presence....and the MVP(?). everyone was calling them the best team when they swept Detroit and Atlanta LMAO. the fact of the matter is, they're a regular season team ala Dallas 2006, Phoenix 2004-2008, etc. because LeBron is lacking what we like to call a killer instinct. Dunno if that's something he can develop, but that's always been one of the main things keeping him from taking it to the next level...PeACe

^why's that?!? that's what i still don't get, i didn't understand it from the first time the "Kobe vs. LeBron" arguement was raised.just because the Lakers do better that means Kobe > LeBron?yeah sure Lakers > Cavs, i don't know many who would disagree that; but what does that have to do with Kobe or LeBron?lets say the Lakers take there series & the Cavs pull a miracle comeback, would you say Bynum > Dwight because the Lakers went farther?if anyone is really that deep into denial where they think if the Cavs sat LeBron & the Lakers sat Kobe & the two teams played & you honestly thought the Cavs stood a chance, your nuts.i would bet over a thousand dollars on the Lakers (w/o Kobe) against the Cavs (w/o LeBron); fact is LeBron does more than Kobe with less help around him.it has nothing to do with who wins rings & shit; otherwise i guess Robert Horry is one of the best PF's ever lmao.
