If the TEAM didn't come to play against the Spanish team, we'd be the home of a silver medal team. But don't act like LeBron was sucking ass out there. From what I saw, he was one of the best players in the game. He was killing it and making the right play at the right time.
Here's the thing I have seen with LeBron. Before I was like you, I was not a hater but I didn't appreciated his game because I didn't understand it. After years of watching MJ and Kobe, I always thought the best player in the game would want the shot. I think even LeBron agrees with that now. But his make up, his mentality is not that way. His mentality is to share the ball and play with people. That's why he went to play with his friends in South Beach. He wants to have fun, he wants his team to be involved and he would do what is needed for his team not only to win, but for his teammates to feel involved. At the end of the game, if a player is missing shots, Kobe and Michael will shut them out and ignore them while trying to win the game on there own. LeBron is not like that, he will pass them the ball hoping they make that shot, then crash to boards in case they miss and do a put back. He's a different kind of player than we've ever seen, and that's his nature. It took years for me to understand his game. And he wouldn't be able to play this game for a long time. But right now, he's 27 years old, he's in the prime of his career, he's the most physically gifted athlete I've ever seen on a basketball court and that's including Shaq, he's unselfish to a fault and his ideal situation is to win and have his whole team involved.
I am not saying Durant had a worst game than LeBron, but what I am saying is LeBron is playing at a level not seen in a long time, and he did something only 1992 Michael Jordan had ever done. LeBron is playing at a very high level and it's funny that you are trying to minimize it because instead of hating you should just sit back and enjoy the show. Do I think LeBron and the Heat will win the NBA Finals next year, actually no. I think they have huge depth problems and with each year Wade gets older and more injured prone, Bosh has more thrown on him with the Heat's lack of size and one day LeBron will not be the most physically dominating force on the basketball court, and that will happen soon than people think. Will it happen next year, I highly doubt it, but I'm not counting it out either. But until that day come, just sit back and enjoy the show.
You wouldn't see another player like LeBron again, and it would take him 4 more years... AT LEAST... to catch Kobe. He'll be 31 years old and would have been in the league 13 years. And that's IF the Heat win every year. By then Wade will be 34 years old and at the same point of his career that Kobe is now, slowing down and hoping for one more push. And with the Big 3's large contracts and the new CBA, it will be hard for the Heat to even at depth, and on top of that teams like the Thunder and the Knicks will eventually catch up to them. So NIK, don't worry, LeBron can win a title or two. It doesn't hurt anything. And if he does get to 5, that's great, hopefully Kobe will get to 7 by then and be wrapped up as one of the greatest ever. But just enjoy the show, who knows how long it will be here. As for teams I don't want to see win the NBA Finals, Boston. They can't get to 18 before the Lakers get to 17, and that's all I have to say about that. But the Heat getting NUMBER 2! and LeBron getting 1! I can live with that. Hell I can live with LeBron getting 2 or 3... maybe 4... but if he gets 5 Kobe better have had 7 already. And that's so far down the road I wouldn't even worry about it, I will just watch it all play out.

I did read your post, and you made it sound like LeBron wasn't doing shit, but getting credit for being the best basketball player in the tournament. I'd like to point out that I personally thought LeBron was the best player in the tournament. Not based off points but because he was a complete player who did everything on the court. I thought Durant was amazing too, but if I had to pick a player to have on my team, it would be LeBron.

I am not sure if you have been watching the NBA lately, but there has not been anyone as good as LeBron since Kobe in 2006. And on a team of superstars LeBron was still voted NBA MVP. What do you call 27.1ppg, 6.2apg, 7.9rpg, the NBA MVP, the NBA Finals MVP, 30.1 ppg in the NBA playoffs, 9.7rpg in the NBA playoffs, 6.9rpg in the NBA playoffs, shooting 53% in the season, 50% in the playoffs? If you don't call that the best player in the NBA right now, I don't know what you call that. Not saying Durant was trash, he was the second best player in the NBA. But on a team of superstars, LeBron still shines brighter than anyone else. Hands down the best player in the world right now.
Hack Wilson - real:
yeah NIK you really do come across as the biggest Lebron hater ever

LOL, SOME1 DELETED MY LAST POST IN HERE....WELL, ANYWAYS, I NEVER SAID "LEBRON WASNT DOING SHIT". I THOUGHT LEBRON WAS A BEAST...ALL I SAID WAS THAT I THOUGHT DURANT WAS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE TOURNAMENT, AND IF UR GUNNA SIT HERE AND ACT LIKE THATS AN OUTRAGEOUS IDEA, THEN UR BRAINWASHED. NOTHIN MORE, NOTHIN LESS.
AND MDOGG ACTIN LIKE LEBRON IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PLAYER AND COMPARING HIM 2 KOBE IN HIS PRIME, WHEN THERES STILL A GREAT ARGUMENT FOR DURANT IS JUST FUNNY 2 ME. MJ IN HIS PRIME WAS THE CLEAR CUT BEST IN THE LEAGUE. KOBE IN HIS PRIME WAS THE CLEAR CUT BEST IN THE LEAGUE. LEBRON IS NOT THE CLEAR CUT BEST. I WOULD PERSONALLY TAKE DURANT OVER LEBRON ON MY TEAM, AND THATS NO HATE, IT'S JUST FACT.
