Yeah Lebron is the MVP no doubt...but the question the fans will be asking...can he lead the Cavs to the championship? I'd say no. Not at all. Artest touches upon it nad maybe he's being a bit harsh saying they're 'nothing', but the Cavs squad just isnt strong enough besides Lebron to mount a serious challenge.Just look at the Lakers...take Kobe out of the team and you've still got Gasol, Odom, Artest etc...its still at the very least a comfortable late stage playoff team even without their star man. Cavs need that backup.
Asked before the Lakers played the Knicks Friday night if the Cavs would be a playoff team without LeBron, Artest didn’t hesitate. “Actually I thought about that [Thursday],” Artest said. “If you take LeBron off that team, no. They’re not. They’re nothing. Not that they’re nothing, they’re still human beings. But you take him off that team, no. I guess that’s why they got me, to take him out of the game. [Thursday] it didn’t work. They got us this year, so all we can do is move on from that and see what happens in the playoffs.” hmmm....
