That's why i made this topic, lol.
I've read a lot of excuses for real, man.
1) The age: people are saying LeBron is the best player ever being 20, but that shit aint even funny. Like i said Magic won the NCAA tournament at 19 and his first NBA title at 20, playing C in the final game and making the winning shot. MVP of the Finals. He was 20. And Lakers without him were a wack team.
2) The team is wack: but damn, they have 2 All Stars! A lot of teams who reached the Play Offs have none. How's that? Plus they be playing in the Wack Coast where only Miami is a good team. They were #2, everybody can be #2 in the East!
3) They are too young: ok, but Bulls are #4.
4) They have no coach: ok, but why this excuse works only with the Cavs? I mean Lakers dont have a coach but you all blame Kobe?
5) LeBron was tired because of the Olympic Tournment: c'mon, they didnt even win it..
No excuses: it's time to make a step back and to consider LeBron a good player but not God.

To compare the two is disrespectful for my fav player ever. Maybe in the future. Maybe. But i still remember that no-look-pass the fat ass Magic did when he returned playing with the Lakers. That move alone shits on the whole LeBron career. Please!

im not saying he's anywhere as good as Magic now. im saying, his game IMO is patterned after Magic way more then Jordan. I mean look at them, Jordan was a scorer first, passer second. Magic was a passer first, scorer second. One thing coaches complained about Lebron when he came into the league, was that he was TOO unselfish. I dont even know if he'll ever be as good as Magic. And i dont really like when young players come in the league, and they get compared automatically to some Hall of Famer. lol. You gotta prove yourself before being compared to guys like Jordan, Magic, Bird....etc. Thats why ive always hated the Kobe comparison to Jordan. Just as much as i hated the Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Harold Minor, etc...comparisons. Its takes a whole career worth of greatness to be like these legends.

Jesus Christ...who the hell is saying Lebron is God? Antonio, you crack me up when you type. I could argue those points up their easily, but you won't give up...don't be mad that the Laker's arn't in the playoffs and Lebron's Cav's *might* still get in.
Btw, in that Lakers Suck thread, I didn't say shit about the Lakers. But if I did, I'd say they didn't make it becuase of Kobe just to fuck you Kobe fans ;D.

LEBRON HAS NO FUTURE IN CLEVELAND! THEY'RE JUST HORRIBLE WITH Or WITHOUT LEBRON! IF WINNING IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN MONEY...THEN HE SHOULD ASK FOR A TRADE IF HE DONT REACH THE PLAYOFF's NEXT YEAR!
