LLLLLeBron 3-5 Finals Record Without SuperTeam

^ part of Lebron's legacy, flopping like a king. I can imagine Lebron getting punched by a heavyweight prize fighter the way he spikes his head back and wobbles like pac man when he has been eaten by a ghost. I know Kobe goes "hey" and glares at the ref, but this is just egregious. I suppose it's just "lucky" the N.B.A has never noticed this flopping. Maybe he is being hit by the same angels that protect Harden.

 

Lebron, Harden, Blake Griffin are all serious floppers. The fact that the league has not fined any of them is astonishing. I can understand lesser known players because they aren't always on TV but Bron is on TV and in the highlights every day (even when he doesn't play). Yet a guy like Young gets hit with the warning and Bron gets the "he is just being a smart player."

 

Has he done the walk through the coach with shoulder bump going to bench from time out thing yet. He did that to both Brown in Cleveland and Spoelstra in Miami. Always a class move.

 

I can't believe some of his quotes with CLE. He seriously thinks that he is the "King" of not only CLE but the "King" of the NBA. You already know my thoughts on him. He is a great player but not clutch and comes up with too many excuses or 'soundbites' to distract from his flaws. And yes, he does have a few (every player does).

 

What annoys me is when you talk to people who know nothing about basketball (why do I talk to these people again) or hear sports journalists who begrudgingly have to cover basketball and they assume Lebron is the next Jordan but bigger. "You like basketball blah blah are you a fan of the King" And I feel like I don't think Elvis played basketball. He certainly is covered in the hype of the sport. He lives like Jordan for the general public, only in highlights. In higlights he never misses, always makes the right play and the air is dense with chalk dust and applause. My disappointment is that he is not in Jordan's class. He certainly lives in the popular imagination. People should get a team to support. Not follow the King around like farm laborers following false opportunity in the Grapes of Wrath. Rantover.

 

Yeah, I was about to go into a bashing mode, but then I realized that I do that in my profession - rely on gathered data to make a decision on how to solve a problem or how to proceed. I don't see why wouldn't he do it.

That is, of course, if he is not checking his stats to see how much he can "allow" himself.

 

These are freaking hilarious!

 

I had the weirdest dream that the Heat traded him and a left sock for Anthony Davis.

 

That reminded me of this. You can hoop with a sock.

 

If I'm the Pelicans, there's no one I'd trade him for in the league.

 

I agree in that if I were the Pelicans, I wouldn't trade Anthony Davis for absolutely no one.

I disagree, though in that every GM would pick Anthony Davis over everyone.

1st. There's still way too much hype for LeBron James. I'm sure more than one team would still choose him.
2nd. Philly is still part of the NBA, Hinkie would surely choose someone we can't even begin to imagine.
3rd. Because of his injury, people are really forgetting about Kevin Durant.

There's definitely no talent as big as Davis and so young, but Kevin Durant is still pretty young himself, he's proven much more than Davis.. and he's just freaking good. While Davis might be my number 2 option, I'd rather take KD over Anthony Davis.
